The funny part is that the churchy people who wont vote for Obama DO share a lot of the same values as Ahmadinejad.
The irony was not unnoticed at the Onion
At the bottom of the article they add:
The Onion Wrote:For more on this story: Please visit our Iranian subsidiary organization, Fars.
Turns out they have copied the original FARS page:

The Onion comes to the rescue. They copied the page before FARS could delete it. See above for link.
