By Michelle Malkin • September 24, 2007 08:26 AM

Update 6:00pm Eastern. This is probably one of the most powerful signs I snapped photos of today at Columbia University…

shiri

Absolute moral authority.

Meantime, no sign of the Iranian nutjob here at Ground Zero. It’s possible he squeezed in his visit this morning when the protesters were cleared up. If so, though, why would he sit on the disgusting propaganda photos?

Across town, you can find blog reports of the large protest at the United Nations at Atlas Shrugs and The Invisible Hand.

This Ain’t Hell attended the National Press Club protest in Washington, D.C.

Hugh Hewitt is not impressed with Columbia president Lee Bollinger’s attempted salvage operations:

Whenever Lee Bollinger steps down as Columbia’s president, some poor fool will toast him for his “stirring” speech today, for speaking truth to power, blah blah blah. Nonsense. President Bollinger gave Ahmadinejad a microphone and a stage and then tried to use the underbilling to redeem his university’s sorry complicity in the legitimizing of this fanatic’s place in the world. Columbia can black out the backdrop and deliver stern lectures that go unheard in the Islamist world, but it won’t remove the stain on its own reputation: It played a role of accessory to many lies today, delivered by a killer of our troops.

***

Outside Columbia University at the Stand with Us/Hasbarah protest, approx. 1:00pm Eastern.

Update 9:25pm Eastern. Charles Johnson reprints an email from a Columbia U. student about those who cheered Mahmoud’s evil, insanity, and obfuscation. You won’t be surprised.

Update 5:45pm Eastern. Judith at Kesher Talk has photos of the protesters and 9/11 family members who gathered at Ground Zero this morning before being hustled out by the Port Authority.

Gerard Van der Leun has a round-up of reax to Bollinger’s rope-a-dope.

Update: 4:35pm Eastern. We’ve headed over to Ground Zero, where some of the Columbia University protesters have gathered in case the Iranian nutjob decides to sneak his cursed wreath onto the memorial site.

After the Columbia University speech let out, dozens of protesters stood at the front gates of Columbia chanting “Shame on Columbia!” The anti-Mahmoud coalition took on a few clueless ANSWER protesters clad in orange and Bush Derangement Syndrome bumper stickers. I interviewed Iranian-American dissident Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi of the Secular Muslim Summit, who was livid after confronting the moral equivalence and historical ignorance of the moonbats holding anti-Bush signs. The Jewish groups and Iranian critics of the mullahcracy were joined by many NYC-area bloggers and Gathering of Eagles members as well.

Speech highlights: There are no gays in Iran, don’t you know? More on Mahmoud’s John Lennon peace, love, and harmony routine. And here’s the Bollinger intro.

Dan Riehl sheds light on the significance of Mahmoud’s science and technology spiel:

Anyone listening closely should have been able to comprehend that Ahmadinejad’s discussion of science and technology was about the search for truth and it was based upon the notion that to discern truth one must be free of ideology and bias due to a pure understanding of Islam via The Koran. That was why he preceded all that science and technology stuff with the little intro on divine wisdom. And the particular truth he was riffing around had to do with the Holocaust.

It’s precisely that point, which the Left and apparently some on the Right miss that makes Iran and Ahmadinejad so dangerous.

Don’t let the warm embrace of some of the Columbia University students fool you. We saw plenty of disgusted Columbia alumni and families who were not impressed.

Update 2:15pm Eastern. Watching the speech on a TV at a deli. So, Columbia is getting an earful about Allah and Islam. Lots of finger-waving…and now he’s accusing the West of forcing other cultures into “submission.” Classic projection. He’s complaining about nuclear intimidation. Seriously. He attacks the West for “denying the scientific progress of others.”

One CNN commentator is calling Columbia president Lee Bollinger’s introduction a “humiliating dress-down.” Bollinger chided Mahmoud for his “preposterous, belligerent statements.” Raves for Bollinger here. I’m withholding judgement. If you caught it and you agree, chime in.

Update 1:35pm Eastern. Inside the gates, Ahmadinejad has begun the “dialogue.” Video. There are several hundred counterprotesters outside the Columbia gates, mostly Jewish organizations and some brave Persian dissidents. I’ve talked to rabbis, young families, students, alumni. Most are livid that Columbia has penned them off campus. There are busloads of kids here, but many older folks are disappointed that the turnout isn’t higher. This may be because lots of people turned out for the anti-Mahmoud rally at the U.N. Organizers expect many of them to head over here. Lots of helicopters overhead.

We’re going to try to do a livestream from the protest. Meantime, a few more photos:

This mother and daughter drove from Morris County, NJ:

Here’s the Iranian nutjob’s National Press Club appearance.

Update 11:46am Eastern. Allah passes word via PJM that Ground Zero was cleared of anti-Mahmoud protesters this morning.

Meantime, we’re stationed at Columbia at the front gates on 116th and Broadway. I just interviewed CU undergrad Jacob Kriegel, president of the student Jewish organization LionPAC. There’s a sizable crowd gathering. Many Persian students raising their voices in opposition to Ahmadinejad’s presence. We’ll have video.

Here are a few pics of the scene on Broadway, which is lined with media:

columbia rally

Update 9:50am Eastern. Was there a quid pro quo? CNSNews’s Susan Jones raises the question in a story about the recent release of an Iranian Columbia alum (hat tip - reader Jeff):

The president of Columbia University is expressing relief that a Columbia alumnus was released from an Iranian prison — just days before the Iranian president is scheduled to speak at Columbia University.

Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh, who works for George Soros’s Open Society Institute, was one of several Iranian-Americans detained by Iran for allegedly conspiring against Iran’s national security.

Tajbakhsh was freed on bail last Thursday. Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad is speaking at Columbia on Monday, and the invitation for him to appear on campus has drawn widespread condemnation from politicians and ordinary Americans, who view Amadinejad as an enemy of the United States and Israel.

Here’s more from the student publication, the Columbia Spectator.

As they say: Question the timing.

Update 9:30am Eastern. Spoof time–a reader sends along the webpage of the new Columbia University School of Terrorism.

Fake, but accurate.

Not a spoof: Left-wing lesbian crushing on Mahmoud.

Another small sign of sanity at Columbia: The law school dean, David Schizer, speaks:

This event raises deep and complicated issues about how best to express our commitment to intellectual freedom, and to our free way of life. Although we believe in free and open debate at Columbia and should never suppress points of view, we are also committed to academic standards. A high-quality academic discussion depends on intellectual honesty but, unfortunately, Mr. Ahmadinejad has proven himself, time and again, to be uninterested in whether his words are true. Therefore, my personal opinion is that he should not be invited to speak. Mr. Ahmadinejad is a reprehensible and dangerous figure who presides over a repressive regime, is responsible for the death of American soldiers, denies the Holocaust, and calls for the destruction of Israel. It would be deeply regrettable if some misread this invitation as lending prestige or legitimacy to his views.

But Hugh Hewitt is right:

While the dean’s candor on what Ahmadinejad represents is welcome, the idea that “prestige or legitimacy” is not inherent in the invitation is just absurd. It is the “World Leaders Forum” at one of the world’s great universities –of course Columbia is not merely “lending” the fanatic “prestige” and “legitimacy,” it is wholesaling both to him and all he represents.

For as long as we recall that Iran has been killing American soldiers and Marines, we will also recall that when Ahmadinejad came to the United States, it was Columbia that welcomed him and gave him a stage, a microphone, a vast audience and all the “prestige” and “legitimacy” Columbia can confer.

Hitler Ahmadinejad

A reminder again about the protests taking place today in NYC and D.C. against Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadenihad, via The Israel Project. I’ll be in NYC today for his “Manhattan Moment.” How about you:

When: 12 p.m.

Where: Washington, DC: National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW

MONDAY, SEPT. 24:

Speakers include Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles F. “Chic” Burlingame, III, (Capt., USNR, Ret.), pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11.

When: 12 p.m. (rain or shine)

Where: NYC: Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, 2nd Ave. at 47th St.(across the street from the UN)

What: Rally by students from Columbia and other universities incuding Rutgers, Brooklyn College and Queens College, area high school students and dozens of Jewish organizations

When: 1-3 p.m.

Where: NYC: Outside Columbia University at W. 116th St. and Broadway

Keep checking back for updates.

American former hostage Barry Rosen, held captive in Iran for 444 days with more than 50 other innocent citizens, delivers his message to Mahmoud in the NYPost today:

Ahmadinejad was one of those outrageous Iranians who took me and more than 50 other Americans hostage for 444 days, violating international law and making us suffer indescribable moments of terror.

There is simply no reason to give him a platform to spew his venom.

No matter how hard-hitting Columbia’s president questions Ahmadinejad, the Iranian leader is a winner.
Every word he utters is meant for his radical constituents at home and legitimizes his standing among other dictators like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.

It’s only when Ahmadinejad permits his own people to march and speak freely, that I believe Columbia President Lee Bollinger would be justified in giving the Iranian president an open forum.

Not before then.

Clint Taylor looks at Columbia and is reminded of Yale’s embrace of the Taliban.

Michael Rubin nails academia’s selective defense of free speech:

The issue we see with Columbia is deeper than freedom of speech but rather the inconsistency with which university faculties choose to support it. If men like Richard Bulliet and Lee Bollinger, and women like Lisa Marie Anderson cared about freedom of speech, they might want to enable those who don’t have it, rather than celebrate the men who have taken it away.

Exactly. It has been nauseating listening all weekend to the same, speech-squelching student mobsters who shut down secure-borders proponent Jim Gilchrist now preaching about allowing “dissenting voices” to be heard.

There is one, rare voice of sanity and adulthood at Columbia. Power Line reprints a statement from Columbia U’s business school dean, Glenn Hubbard. His bottom line:

Some would argue that a University should be a place of intellectual freedom and open debate, but others including me argue that Mr. Ahmadinejad, who is responsible for the death of American soldiers, denies the Holocaust, and calls for the destruction of Israel, has proven himself incapable of engaging in a true and honest academic discussion.

Ahmadinejad handed Bollinger his head at the beginning. He referrred to the lack of respect for a guest and the loss of his time because of the Bollinger rant.

Ahmadinejad’s talk was largely philosophy with very little substance - quite clever. His continuous reference to the importance of God and the connections between science and religion must have thoroughly annoyed the secular socialistists at Columbia.

The Q&A followed the Bollinger script but went nowhere. This thug outfoxed and out-thought the Columbia faculty. (Don’t send your kids to such a lame and blind place.)

Finally, his invite to Iran was a real joke. I can see it now, a bunch of Columbia professors in Iran getting arrested for spying. (Just another group of hostages to be traded for some favor.)

I gotta hand it to the Dean. He really let little Hitler have it in his opening remarks. The little worm hasn’t answered a direct question yet. Maybe this was a good thing afterall. Now, at least the Liberals can see this guy for what he is and maybe our government and military might get a little more respect from them.

Orlando - if it’s one thing we’ve seen it’s that the “Liberals” or “Progressives” of our time have no interest in seeing or hearing or reading about anything that stands in opposition of their own view of the world, Truth be Damned.

I doubt that they took anything away from his speech other than the tidbits they WANTED to hear - and not the contradictions or downright lies to his previous statements or actions of his regime.

I would bet, in certain circles, there will be greater condemnation of the introductory comments of Bollinger as rude and distasteful towards an invited dignitary, and they’ll say they were most likely done to appease the right-wing fringe who so adamantly opposed this forum.

Unfortunately, thanks to Bollinger, we learned very little new- just a rehash of what everyone already knew from the press. I listened to hear Ahmadinejad spin himself into insanity.

If you are going to have a thug speak, then at least let him speak fully and be forced to answer questions. It was obvious that the clock was running and the thug won the battle of the clock by running it out. He even forced the panel moderator to cut him off - a further example of disrespecting a guest speaker. (This Iranian is a Hitler type and he is not incompetent in his own sphere. Based on the audience applause, he is not incompetent in our sphere either.)

I really tried to watch the nut job but just couldn’t afford to get my blood pressure up that much and can’t afford a new TV. So I listened to Rush’s critique of Bollinger and it was mixed. Rush played exerpts and concluded some on the left understand the issues regarding Iran but some how we never hear it from them, rather the left does all it can do to thwart efforts of the U.S. to deal with Iran and the Islamic Fascist. Rush’s transcripts from today’s show will be abailable later today. Rush also blisters HRC on her statements on the Sunday morning shows.

The longer I live the more I come to believe the perceived superiority of Ivy League schools is a myth; it’s a myth created by the elites so they can send their children off to an expensivefinishing school and learn the secret handshake so they can have a high paying job in the government or the media. One professor of mine once told me those at schools like Columbia haven’t had an original idea in twenty years and that was over twenty years ago and based on the reaction of the audience I saw on the Fox News lowlights it didn’t dispel the notion the Ivy League is over rated. It could be they are educated far beyond their intelligence. Whatever the case I could have bitten a nail in half watching them slobber over the nut job.

Thanks Trinitytim -

From that Kos piece:

I highly suggest that he was far more honest with his opinions and information than most of the dribble and lies we have been fed by the government and the MSM for quite some time.

Isn’t that the exact point made by ‘Imanutjob’ in his speech at Columbia - almost verbatim regarding the media and the government?

The question is - did he get that talking point from Kos - or did they get it from him?

Bollinger’s opening remarks/questions were damage control after all the heat he took inviting ~~Hitler~~ Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia U.

Yet the auditorium’s audience revealed its bias when they broke into applause after Ahmadinejad chastised Bollinger by saying, if effect, Iran let’s those invited to their universities speak before criticizing them (I wonder how the students outside reacted?). That requires a willful suspension of disbelief as anyone in Iran who speaks out against there disappears into the regime’s torture chambers.

I hear the rally outside the U.N. was very well attended (Michelle: email Debra Burlingame for details and, if possible, get the audio of Curtis Sliwa’s speech).

His ‘convert or you cant know the truth according to the koran speech’ was a way to tie ALL science into his whacked out beliefs.

Great quote!

If you don’t think the libs can still defend this loonie, take a peek at the kos site. You might be surprised

As I’ve argued before, I believe the liberal love of Islam and embracing of Ahmadinejad comes from the notion of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” It should be pretty clear that most liberals in this nation loathe three things above all else

1) Conservatives
2) Christians
3) George Bush
4) America

and not necessarily in that order.

Their rush to defend and embrace radical Islam, terrorists, and Ahmadinejad is rooted in a desire to see the above things destroyed and overturned.

Like their unabashed love of communism (an ideoogy that failed and cost millions of lives), liberals do not think of the long-term consequences of the ideologies they endorse.

Their short-term goals are the eradication of conservative values, American society, Christianity, and George Bush.

They fail to see that - under shari’a law and the caliphate - their other ideologies (gay rights, abortion, feminism) would be some of the first on the chopping block. And yes, that pun is intentional.

I have a sick desire to see the looks on their faces when they realize they can no longer have gay marriage, abortion on demand, or women in the workplace (or public unless shrouded in burquas) because I long to tell these idiots “I told you so”, since the objectives of radical Islam, Ahmadinejad, and shari’a law are explicitly clear and the logical outcomes of such forces irrefutably predictable.

Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but commentary like this makes my blood boil:

It should be pretty clear that most liberals in this nation loathe three things above all else

1) Conservatives
2) Christians
3) George Bush
4) America

Please do not presume to speak for all or even “most” liberals in this country, particularly when you spout nothing but tired, over-simplified cliches that belie your own ignorance of the people you speak. It absolutely kills me that liberals are constantly put on the defensive as “America haters”, and yet the likes of bestseller Ramesh Ponnuru and other such right-wing “Blame Americans First-ers” get a free pass. I could easily turn the tables here and say that most conservatives hate 1) liberals, 2) non-Christians, etc etc, but to do so would be a tiresome waste of everyone’s time. I digress….

If there is a silver lining to “Mahmoudapalooza”, it’s that the guy has had so many embarrassingly bad foot-in-mouth moments - most of which I doubt he is even aware of - that he has made himself look quite an ignorant fool on the world stage. Thanks to all who showed up to protest!

I think he truly believes there are no homosexuals in Iran, and that belief if firmly based on the numbers they have executed. There just could not be any left!

Second, I believe he really wants to delve into the holocost in greater detail - to insure he gets it right the next time.

Unfortunately, while he spewed the same old lies, he told people what they want to hear. Iran is peaceful and enlightened. No one really wants to face a reality of death and destruction. He also reinforced the beliefs of those on the far left that will only bolster their views on the US being the root of all evil.

In the coming weeks or even days we will get a glimpse of just how much harm was done by this event.

One thing not mentioned by anyone in the blogs or MSM was the very first words out of his mouth was a greeting “in the name of the Mahdi” - that mystical 12th Imam that is supposed to return when the world is in chaos in order to bring peace and light.

This is one of the things that makes this guy so terrifying. He actually believes that he has it in his power to create the conditions that would speed the Mahdi’s return.

I’d give a month’s pay to take a peek at the psyche profile drawn up by the CIA on this guy. I’ll bet it;s one of the things that is driving American policy at the moment. We simply have to stop this guy - even if it means a huge economic hit to the world and massively increased terrorism (not to mention a Shia uprising in Iraq).

I still think there is time for diplomacy - not much, maybe a year - to get cooler heads in Iran to prevail. Ahmadinejad represents the most radical of elements. Others are still deadly enemies but a little more pragmatic and could be reasoned with. He is facing immense opposition at home already and if we can keep the pressure on with sanctions - a big if - there’s a chance war can be avoided.

If not, he may get his wish about the Mahdi returning.

I will offer a simple answer for her reasoning.

A resolution was put on the floor of the senate for a vote. Condemn the attack on General Petraeus and the men and women of the military (simply put).

Sure. We had diplomats from Japan here until December 6, 1941 and they left. They assured us Japan would NOT attack us. The next day, we were at war.

It is safe to say that when a dictator makes his mind up – there is no turning back. Look at the world today and you will see I am right. You do not have to look far – say, Cuba, Venezuela. No, I humbly disagree. Talking with Iran only favors their hand. They have everything to gain from diplomacy. They will lull us to sleep and pounce. Just remember Japan.

The one year window for diplomacy/sanctions to work with Iran statement- I disagree.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has painted itself into a desparate corner by 1) borrowing heavily from Russia for nuclear infrastructure; 2) pushed Hamas and Hezbollah aggression against Israel to the breaking point; and 3) failing to feed its own people.

Iran has to deliver something of value to the Russians. And deliver it soon.

Hamas and Hezbollah claimed victory because they survived Israeli tank and infantry assaults- but their infrastructures and supply lines were left badly damaged, fully exposed and civilian populations feeling unappreciative over Israel still being the good neighhor it has always been- despite the worthless propaganda victories in Europe.

Israel has purged the military leadership and has put the IDF under their own version of US Grant. The recent air bombardment against Syria had results so severe as to keep Iran mum about it. A bald faced act of war hasn’t received any back feed from either criminal state. Iran’s tauntingly smug profile has been backed into a corner.

The starving population now simply needs to be armed and supported by Kurdish separatist elements. Ahmedinejad is standing in a room full of gasoline with a box of matches in his hands.

It’s Mahdi time. He has nothing to lose. And if he didn’t have some kind of upper hand with the morphine addicted Supreme Leader of Iran- Khameini- he wouldn’t be parading his mug on American soil doing what he is doing- deflecting attention from his intentions to pull the pin.

I think Ahmedinejad will strike first and activate cells in the US. All along the popular assumption is that America and Israel would strike first.

The cornered animal strikes at the earliest signal of attack- and the bombardment last week was the shot across the bow. So Ahmedinejad has inflicted a psy-op here on American soil, a pre-cursor to Hezbollah and Hamas attacks here as he attepmts to light the match in the Middle East.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say there will be American casualties by Halloween here in the US.

None of this accounts for any al-Qaeda attacks. I think Hezbollah (e.g. Dearbornistan jihadi- no more news?) operates with impunity here in the US and is poised to strike when Iran/US/Israel violence launches. We’ll see Mikey Chertoff choke on his lettuce on that one. Plus, what has been quietly going on as Mexican trucks operate back and forth across the border with minimal inspection?

I hope I am wrong. We need to strike within the next 2 weeks and strike with a vengeance, or it will be a botched chance to shut these pyschopathic jihadis in Iran down- for good.

Perhaps a little too simply put. I’m with you - I disagree with MoveOn’s distasteful and divisive ad, and everyone should have voted to condemn it [even though I think the vote itself was a complete waste of time and taxpayer's money, being little more than an opportunity for pols to grandstand]. But personally I don’t see how it was an attack on the men and women of the military. Cheapshot at Patreaus? The Bush Admin? Absolutely. But I don’t see the connection between that and the boots on the ground.

Did you watch that video I linked to? Where so-called “value voters” diss America by changing the lyrics to “God Bless America”, as GOP presidential candidates stood idly by? This is what I’m refering to - the outright contempt many on the right feel NOT for American foreign policy [which is often conflated with hating America], but for their fellow Americans.

I think the nuke topic with Ahmedinejad is a red herring for the international community. Nuclear capability in a nation state that cannot even refine its own gasoline- they may get it, but it wont be anytime soon and might be as effective as Kim Jong Dil.

Iran’s pursuit and posturing around nuclear power allows Ahmendinejad to frame a question the International community doesn’t have an answer for “Why do some have nukes and others don’t?”

Pakistan has them. India has them. etc etc. Why not Iran?

To the relativistic EU and quislings in the US who believe they can live with a nuclear Iran- he is asking the perfect question for isolating the US and Israel.

The point of this is to use the issue as a foil, to make the West hesitate and become alienated as corps of allies.

His question fractures the traditionally allied powers and isolates the twin Satans.

The 12th Imam is not nuclear dependent, as far as Iranian nukes are concerned.

The destruction of Iran by brute Israeli and US firepower means nothing to the Turk Ahmedinejad as his homeland- it is the conflagration itself that will ignite the return of the 12th Imam, as if attacking the defenseless Persians is the catalyst for the return, not so much the nuking of Israel and the destruction of American.

It is the rise of the Infidel nations against the Children of the Mahdi that will ignite the Imam’s return, with that return spelling the demise of Israel and the United States.

I think the political discussion on the part of the West has misconstrued the entire Imam issue.

I am saying I think so, not saying I am categorically right or spot on or unwilling to listen alternative views more in depth.

The reason I hold the opinion that I hold is because Iran is not the omega point in this geopolitical chapter.

It is ultimately the gangster state of Russia and the desparation of the Chicom “capitalist” experiment in China that ultimately sets the terms of the final chapter.

The world either survives and avoids a dark age governed by the ChiComs fighting it out with the degenerate Russian state; or it does not.

The Lion’s Share of US military assets are deployed against that eventuality- not against the pawn known as Iran.

Hence, the 20 year war planning scenario by US intelligence and defense.

Iran is a near term bloodbath. Advantage: Israel and the US. WHo has the most to lose?

Russian and China facing massive US firepower on their borders and in every wrinkle of their spheres of influence.

Anyways- my 2 cents.

On the huggybear hair-splitting about the MoveOn ad-

Petraeus is a soldier with the general’s rank. His report wasn’t written in a vacuum. He has a staff, which is built upon a chain of command with soldiers of all ranks playing roles which impacted the quality of the report.

It is juvenile to separate Petraeus from the soldiers he relies on to do his job. Period.

To do so is the kind of liberal smarm that reminds me of the playground arguments from elementary school. Just plain juvenile.

And to try and deflect that with the fact that some people who identify as conservatives don’t like some of their fellow Americans.

History is full of that. And people who do that kinda stuff are full of it.

But let’s not piddle over the filling in the middle. Them that’s doing don’t have time for all the trifling nonsense of changing words to songs and gotcha politics.

Them that’s doing are creating jobs and creating or adding value on a daily basis- and after that priority is taken care of we go to meetings in our communities to fight sharia creep and state encroachment on our parental and property rights. We are shipping packages to troops and tending to the returning vets who live amongst us.

The rest of this is radio talk show one ups- who benefits from it?

Petraeus is a fighting general and a statesman- but not one shred of this is possible without his soldiers. They have his back, and he sure as hell better have their’s- because there is no separating them.

Yes, brass have screwed enlisted men and women over and over throughout the history of the military. But to artificially separate them for political purposes is just plain rank, Lefty gutter slime politics.

Looks like we all have a concensus, these comments weren’t aimed at Ahmendinajb, but they were for the self-serving purpose of the consumption of angry Americans.

Once again, the left subliminally shows its desire to repeal the First Amendment in its entirety.

I saw a glimpse this evening of Fox News running the tape of them throwing pies at Ann Coulter!

So much for the “educational benefits” of “DEBATE”!

Joseph Stalin: “America is like a healthy body, and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we (communists) can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”

Communist Goals (1963)
Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963

…
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
…
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
…
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
…
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
…
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
…

According to all laws concerning aiding and abetting, and I specifically reference Treason, anyone who is guilty of that is guilty of all the crimes of the ones they abet.
The Liberals who schemed to come up with an excuse to provide this platform for anyone of the likes of Ahmendinajab is guilty of treason, of aiding and abetting, of validating this man in the eyes of the world and of shaming their own homeland, deliberately and willfully, in the process.

I know what George Washington and Paul Revere would do with them - no doubt about it.

Avoiding such trials for the sake of trying to look innocent of Partisanship is so much additional damage to our nation - it is a pathetic abdication of our fiduciary duties to America and our Constitution.

I saw that piece, too - he was saying that JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, Iran released a COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ALUMNI, employee of George Soros, who had been imprisoned there.

The Ambassador didn’t say so - but THAT IS ALWAYS CODE for a HIGH RANSOM WAS PAID.

Knowing George Soros, we know the money changed hands TOO, as well as the platform being extended.

The Ambassador went on to tell that there has been extensive interchange between Iran and Columbia for years.
I don’t remember the details on that.

Well, maybe some of you don’t catch my drift, so I’ll say it plainly.

As far as I am concerned -

Columbia was obviously deeply grieved to have to cancel Ahmendinajab, last year, and prolly MOST LIKELY, UNDOUBTEDLY, beyond any shadow of a doubt, agreed with him to come up with this “ruse” that would obviously come to light that the so-called “hostage” had been released, as have so many others before, after secret, unadmitted ransoms are paid, to which the governments have always politely turned a blind eye, since “lives are at stake”.

Columbia should loose all federal funding - and any support whatsoever from anyone that claims to be a patriotic American. This was not about ‘free speech’ – this was about the idiotic leftist-idea that dialog with an entrenched and determined enemy can bring peace.

Don’t let Lee Bollinger off the hook because of his fear-inspired last-minute list of ‘hard questions.’ Send him a letter demanding his resignation - and tell him to move to Iran where he belongs.
