But nobody is willing to call them an evil regime (They still stone people to death for crying out loud!). Is Iran truly evil like Hitler? Or is more needed to be done on their part to be concidered evil?

I dont believe in most a lot of things Glenn Beck says. But he does bring up a point here. I just watch him to get a different view on things.

I know people of Iran aren't evil... I know someone who has family in Iran and I'm pretty sure they aren't evil. I'm just saying what Glenn Beck said

I really don't think you should quote Glenn Beck... my dog is smarter and actually more informed than Mr. Beck.
Iran is a democracy but the government is strongly influenced by the Islamic mullahs. It is interesting to note that the president of Iran, Ahmedinejad, is not very popular with the Ayatollah Khameini... the Ayatollah has the most power over the Iranian government BUT he could not prevent Ahmedinejad from being elected. I think that we (Americans) just make blanked assumptions of the Iranian people and governement being a bunch of followers and a dictator... It is far from that.
Also, Ahmedinejad had a litlle come uppance himself when the Iranian people voted out a number of his party members in the parlliament recently. I don't know if they are "evil"; I just think they are politicians... is that the same as "evil"? I won't put the Ayatollah or Ahmedinejad in this category until they actually do evil acts. I think they Ahmedinejad though is a very ignorant man and that can be a very dangerous thing... but then again, a lot of our own leaders have shown themselves to be ignorant (and dangerous) as well.
I guess it depends on a individual's perspective.

It's all relative. Stoning is reprehensible, whether it's carried out in Iran or Afghanistan or Nepal or any other country. At the same time there are other countries, including many of our western allies, who consider it reprehensible that the United States still has the death penalty.
Before you let Beck get you all riled up step back and look at the facts objectively.

I watch him and agree with most of what his views are. Iran is an evil regime. Did you see why the last stoning took place? A retard girl ( retarded meaning not bright enough to make her own decisions.) was stoned to death because she had sex with a unmarried man. Now shes retarded hes not and shes stoned to death. Not the man that isnt retarded.

Iran was evil when they took our embassy as hostages and paraded them around on TV everyday; we paid to get our people back and then we should have turned around before the ink was dry and bombed them ; we could have avoided all the troubles today in Iraq, Iran ; they weren't organized back then like now and not as funded etc; but we had Jimmy Carter - ouch, one of the worse presidents and then Ronnie just got in and sure he needed to learn the ropes first; Carter should have taken the bull by the horn; pay and then bomb

I would rather listen to or watch his shows, than get 'news' from the unreliable sources.
At least, Glenn Beck attempts to bring to the forefront REAL news and he does not hide behind P.C junk.

Yes, Iran is governed in a fashion that most people would consider evil. Torture and executions without trial are common official practice.

What's evil about seizing a foreign embassy for 444 days? What's evil about mining international waters? What's evil about smuggling weaponry across the border to promote terrorism? What's evil about wanting nuclear weapons to attack a country they've never actually been in conflict with since they share no common border? What's evil about calling for the destruction of nations because they don't embrace the same state-sponsored religion? What's evil about abducting foreign persons to hold them hostage in an effort to influence their foreign policy?
Nonsense. There are innocent explanations for all of these things. It's Bush's fault.
