Columbia: Another suction cup on the Iranian tenticle

I am so fed up... The journalists were idiots and the students probably will be too...

Traffic is way up. But I fixed a serious bug last week -- and so far we seem to be holding on.

dang, why do I have to be in class?

This little speech at Columbia will be sanitized for consumption.

So the journalists were the fluffers and the students will get the money shot, or will he save it for the UN?

Hey Charles...lol Thanks for your diligence Sir. I had some lag but the train is still chugging.

caller is spot on...the UN has no power

Power to the Hempsters!

Koskid: "He ain't such a bad man."

Anybody here see Ahmadinejad speak to National Press Club?

I try to keep an open mind about everything. And I have to say that I think our government and the MSM have really spun us on Iran and this guy.

He spoke a lot about his spiritual view and hope for the world. He also dispelled many of the questions that the NPC asked him about various 'events' that we've heard about happening over there. Ahmadinejad did not flinch and answered many questions with a question that clearly made the correspondents on the NPC panel uncomfortable.

He also answered the question about 'not believing in the holocaust' and explained his thoughts. I did not get that he poohed poohed it but rather questioned the outcome regarding that the Palestinians have paid the big price as opposed to the Germans etc.

He is definitely against Israel for many of the same reasons so many of us here are against BUSH in regards to acting Fascist etc.

I apologize for not being able to recall verbatim the exchange but I highly recommend that if you can find the video on cspan.org it is worth a look and listen.

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.

I challenge us to listen with an open mind and see if you hear what I heard.

He ain't such a bad man.

Just rebooted and the hamsters at LGF appear to be normalized.

Pisak: "I am not an apologist for Iran..."

I posted this on a previous thread, so please forgive my redundancy, I HATE that, but I keep coming in at the very end of 300+ comment threads, so I want to ask again - has anyone anywhere seen where the President of Columbia is being asked the tough questions? Like,

"If your whole line of reasoning is that we must listen to opinions other than our own, and keep open minds, and be enlightened enough to welcome even those we disagree with...where is the ROTC? Where are the conservative speakers that were eventually disinvited because of the oh-so-openminded students that protested their presence/speeches/existence on earth? How can you be such a freaking hypocrite?"

I want someone to get him on the dais and ask him that - if he's so open to ALL other opinions and ideas, why are these other groups and speakers banned or disinvited? Why no military representation on campus EVER? If you want to just let a murdering thug speak at your school, fine, SAY THAT, but you can't say it's in the spirit of listening to EVERYONE'S position, cause that's just an out and out lie, and I want someone to call him on it!

XM Radio suit now on talking about POTUS 08, their completely unbiased new show.

And then cited as bloggers -- Daily Kos and Washington Monthly.

Yes: According to "Ahm-a-nutjob" the women in Iran are the "free-ist" on earth. In fact, they're so free, that their feet don't even touch the ground:

Ayn Rand said evil is made possible by the sanction you give it, withdraw your sanction.

Waiting for somebody to call Ahmadarnjackal "a man of peace and hope" or some such. And if there's Q&A, look out for a wide-eyed moonbat with a kumbaya question ("President Amadihinejad, is your commitment to harmony REALLY as deep as it seems to be?")

From M-W:

Main Entry: fris·son
Pronunciation: frE-'sOn
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural frissons /-'sOn(z)/
Etymology: French, shiver, from Old French friçon, from Late Latin friction-, frictio, from Latin, literally, friction (taken in Late Latin as derivative of frigEre to be cold)
: a brief moment of emotional excitement : SHUDDER, THRILL

That's two words I've learned here today..

LGF: enhancing people's vocabulary, one post at a time.

Akk. I can't bear this global warming fawner blowing kisses to Pisak. "So glad to have a real paper like the Wash Times cover this, not a conservative one..."

Somewhat OT: May or may not be a flying pig moment, but this morning a local news anchor/weatherman called the little hitler (Ahmadinejad) a 'nutjob' and added that every nation in the world must keep a close eye on him at all times.

I was pleasantly surprised, certainly not what I expected from an MSM employee.

re: #9 Intestinal Fortitude

This little speech at Columbia will be sanitized for consumption.

His advisors have (apparently very cleverly) instructed him to parrot the verbiage of the extreme left -- to regurgitate it back into their mouths like a mother pelican feeding its chicks. For some reason, the Left in the country is so moronic that they actually believe he is sincere. When of course all he is doing is repeating their own words back to them. He himself doesn't believe (or probably even understand) most of it. It's just to acquire allies.

I was curious about XM. Didn't know about the formats, other than music that I like. Can't see paying 35-40 bucks a month for it though.

Exactly my point - you just said it much more concisely than I did, I can't seem to use less than 1000 words when I have a point, but you're so on point, WHY is no one cornering him on this fact?

In 1938 Hitler thought the West was too weak-willed and degenerate to fight back.

He miscalculated.

But now we've had almost 60 years of unprecedented prosperity (and "peace" in the sense that the vast majority of civilians have not had to really suffer or sacrifice for us to prosecute wars) that makes the Gilded Age and the Roaring 20's look like hardscrabble times. There has been no Great Depression to toughen us up.

I hope, like Hitler, that DinnerJacket has miscalculated. And if he has miscalculated, that it is not too late to reverse the tide. It was almost too late by 1941.

Can anyone find some transcripts on his speeches, i would like to tear them apart for some afternoon fun.

amazing...just amazing. To go from being complicit in the kidnapping / hostage taking of a western countries diplomats to be lauded by the academia and press of the very same nation as being a "world leader". Disgusting.

Not only do they believe he's sincere, but think how SMART they must feel when they hear their own words coming out of the PRESIDENT'S mouth! How vindicated they must feel, they ARE right, he's saying the same thing they've been saying all along, that PROVES they're right! Pardon me while I lose my breakfast.

That is brilliant thought Zombie. Words so true. And they call us bootjackers. We are in some hard times, and this Columbia debacle lends no credence to our survival...yet they don't care; it's pure communistic subversiveness.

re: #20 NJDhockeyfan

Kudos for the effort and participation in this dirty job.

It's time for regime change in Iran, taser and cuff him SS Agents, I have your back!

Here's what I would do. Make the event like "World Forum" from Monty Python, where leaders like Mao, Che, Marx and Lenin (Vladimir, not John) were peppered with questions...about English sports, prior winners of the Eurovision song contest etc. and were rewarded with prize like new living room furniture.

I'd ask what he thinks of Eli Manning. Whether the Bears will make it back to the Superbowl. Who does he like in the AL East and whether Boston will choke this week (they might - they're broken my heart before) and, if, in fact, Jesus really hates the Yankees (like the t-shirt says) who does Mohamed like. I mean if the guy is here to deliberately drop a turd in our punchbowl - at least he can be up on our current events.

the first speech was more than enough LIES and Propaganda for me for one day.

Make that for the whole year.

What I wouldn't give to be there with a super-soaker filled with pigs-blood. This bastard pistol-whipped my uncle during the hostage crisis.

On my blog (click my blue name to go there) I just posted my personal reaction to the speech by the President if Iran.

Frankly, I like Duncan Hunter's call with Columbia. He said if they allow him to speak, he'll do what he can to get Congress to cut federal funding to Columbia.

It'd never happen, but it'd be a hoot.

Laura Ingraham just very favorably mentioned LGF & is talking about the lesbian on Kos with the crush on Ahadinejad. She is also pointing out that the Dem candidates went to the Kos convention

She mentioned LGF on Kurtz's Reliable Sources yesterday too. Her Lizard Army cheques must be bigger than mine.

That's exactly right, but that's my point - what he's SAYING is that they listen to ALL sides, let EVERYONE have their say, and it's just not borne out by the facts of how they operate, and that's what I'm dying for someone to force him to answer to. Where's Scott Pelley when we need him? I love that he asked Captain Evil the hard questions, but I want the Columbia President to explain himself and his blatant hypocrisy.

We truly are begging for our own downfall.

Oh, wouldn't that be great? Now's the time for everyone who's ever been turned down or disinvited from speaking to say, "Ok, if he can have a forum, what time should I be there? I'm open, name the date..." And the ROTC should be storming his office, asking where their new headquarters will be located. Let him wiggle out of that (I know he will, but I want to watch). You know he'll claim, "I follow what the students want, and they wanted Satan to speak, but never the US Military or Minutemen - Heaven, we have to draw the line somewhere!"

Sieg Heil Columbia
Poitiers-Lepanto - Westland

The position of Columbia is disingenuous, we all know very well that this "multiversity" is controlled by people who see SUBVERSION as their main goal in life. Anything that weakens the West in general, America and Israel in particular, is welcome to Columbia. The blood of the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of victims of this terrorist cries from the graves. Shame on the appeasers of the new beast.

All I can do is shake my head in amazement.

It's like the equivalent of some malevolent alien plotting to overthrow earth, and they hover in orbit monitoring our broadcasts for a few months, then hack into the satellite signal and appear on TVs worldwide simultaneously, wearing a cowboy hat on its slimy green head, a "Stop the War" button affixed to its scaly flesh, a foam-rubber "We're #1" giant hand with the Green Bay Packers logo, some baggy gang pants, and Air Jordans on it clawed feet, and the alien announces, "Welcome earthlings! We are fans of your Bazeball team the Red Sox! We also announce our intention to "bend it" in the fashion of Beckham. XBox is preferable to Nintendo, we have been told, and so we agree vehemently with this statement. We also dislike the warming of your globe, as many of you apparently dislike. Is not that Jessica Abla one sexy infant? Yes, we declare!"

And people watching this on TV say, "This alien guy's not such a bad dude! I'd hang out with him for sure!"

That's basically what's happening with these Kossacks slavering over Dinnerjacket's reassurances.

WHO'S WITH ME?!?

~Norsk Troll

OK, OK, OK! I'm with you. But I think someone needs to ask Charles to set up a "blogpatron" account so I can get set up to simply send a monthly tip automatically.

Addendum:

While the SS service is tasering and cuffing shorts**t, they might as well arrest Lee Bollinger for treason and give him a zap too!

re: #143 LeftJustAintRight

LOL ;)

Hmmm... this should be an interesting response to Dr. Bollinger's statements.

Oh, that's right. Dinnerjacket won't know anything about it. He'll want "proof".

Holy Shit!

Somebody TASE that prick.

/bannable?

He is trying to distract from having MINI HITLER on campus. Asking the TOUGH questions as if.

Petty and cruel dictator...applause.

Good start

re: #142 mean Gene

"It is the will of allah."

good first ?

Ouch!

"You exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator."

re: #133 buzzsawmonkey

If the leftist takes the side of the Enemy, then they become the enemy, thus per their own logic they should begin to think in terms of what the U.S. (their now enemy) wants.

You exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator.

Women, homosexuals and intellectuals.

called him a "cruel and petty dictator"

My God! What happened? This is Columbia!

Calling the despot a cruel and petty tyrants...

. Mr. Bollinger is 'calling upon' President Ahmadinejad to release the Columbia alum still under house arrest.

'' You exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator.'

Holy Shit! Columbia!

Probably the fools from Naturei Carta...

He called him a CRUEL DICTATOR! ... wooohoo ... hand him his ass before he gets to even speak ...

WHOA! PETTY AND CRUEL DICTATOR!

Koskidz won't like this.

Is this my punishment for watching "The War" on PBS last night? Could somebody please hack this broadcast worldwide and insert "The War"? Please?
Per "The War"at Bataan - The one question asked at surrender: "Will my men be treated humanely"?
Substitute Apostates, women, Jews, lizards, etc.

holy crap!

"you exhibit al the signs of a petty dictator"...nice.

The fact is Mahmood will ignore all this and say whatever he wants to.

WTF -- real questions and criticism!

Tune into fox stream.
Someone is slamming in Iran.

OH petty and cruel dictator. Why have women Bah'ai been targeted.

And people applauded!

Hmmm.. talking about the crackdown on journalists and academics. Talking about house arrest of others of Iranian-Americans. 210 people have been executed in Iran in this year alone. 2 kids. Iran leads the world in child executions. 30+ hangings in public.

Well, knock my socks off, he's being a wee bit harsher than I expected. Still, not sure that we're going to actually see Ahmadinejad's feet held to the fire to account for his country's actions. Ah, got to throw in Columbia's anti-Bush stance. All the signs of a petty and cruel dictator.

So I ask, why have women, Bahai and other academics become targets of persecution. /seriously knock my socks off...

Is this CYA material or does he really believe it?

Lead a delegation? LOL. Yep that's gonna happen.

I'm floored!

re: #4 Intestinal Fortitude

I don't know why, but when I first read it, I thought it said another sucking up on the iranians testicles.

Somewhat O/T, but Amalamadingdong is tanking in the kos polls. he has dropped to 39%. Guess we can assume that means 19.5% of Americans are clueless idiots.

Short simply question you fool!

Am I dreaming?

Bollinger doesn't know what "fulsome" means. [Link: www.bartleby.com...]

switch the camera to Ahmadinejad! I want to see his reaction.

Now he's going after Holocaust denial.

This makes you quite simply ridiculous.

Fuck Yeah!

Maybe the Columbia faculty & administration has been reading LGF for the last few days.

LOL he is gonna walk out soon
Good questions

hahahhahahahahah!

wow!

Bollinger is impressing me with his statements...he certainly isnt beating around the bush.

Hard to believe that General Eisenhower was once President of Columbia U.

/shakes head in digust at today's wacademics.

Who would have guessed this would turn into a roast?

He is doing a better job then the "national press corpse" did.

A ridiculous Holocaust denier.

re: #179 mean Gene

The fact is Mahmood will ignore all this and say whatever he wants to.

Exactly right. This is a show intended to redeem Bollinger's reputation, nothing more.

re: #191 Killgore Trout

Me too! Is he squirming?

Holocaust is truth.

OK points for that. No debate-like it.

Re the Holocaust: 'you are astonishingly uneducated.'

Holocaust now...

"shockingly undeducated"

Destruction of Israel. Should be wiped off the map of the world.

What in the world will the idiots at Koz say about this?

re: #200 Killgore Trout

I love a good roast :)

I REALLY like this Bollinger dude. (Columbis University President)

Applause... The cream of the intelectual left have found their new fuhrer – how nice and civilized.

I don't believe my own ears. Am I dreaming?

This is totally unexpected!

"Either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated."

At let the rationalization of letting him speak begins.

You know, the line that we *had* to give this creep his visa because the UN invited him...oh Reagan was only able to deny Arafat his UN-visit visa because he wasn't head of state...etc. Let's say I find it highly suspect.

Why? Because when the Bush state department chose to admit Khatami last year, AFTER HE WAS NO LONGER HEAD OF STATE, they used the same excuse for admitting him: he was invited by the UN, and as host of the UN we have to let him in, blah, blah

There are no plans for Mr. Khatami to meet with U.S. government officials. But the decision to grant the visa, allowing him to attend an inter-faith religious dialogue in Washington next month, is nontheless a significant political gesture.

The former Iranian president is considered a moderate among Iranian clerics, and he advocated dialogue with the United States during his term in office, which ended last year.

The Bush administration had indicated some time ago that it would respond favorably to a request from leaders of the U.S. Episcopal church that Mr. Khatami be allowed to attend the September 7 event at Washington's National Cathedral, and the visa was formally issued Tuesday.

Mr. Khatami will also attend a United Nations conference in New York next week.

At a news briefing, State Department Deputy Spokesman Tom Casey said the visa was granted in part because of U.S. treaty obligations as the host country of the United Nations.
He brushed aside a suggestion that Mr. Khatami should be barred because of Iran's presence on the State Department's listed of state supporters of terrorism

Dishonesty or incompetence, or a whole lot of both?

holy cow, sock it to him!

I'm liking this so far... throw another shoe buddy.

So am I wrong for buying Bollinger's talk. It seems thorough.

I think you nailed it Charles...is anyone even interpreting this for him?

Yo Baby -

This is going out over VOA Farsi Service - and President Bollinger is socking it to "Im-In -A-Mood -For-Jihad". Yeah Baby!

-S-

re: #203 Charles

Yes-he'll come out smelling like roses for inviting jihadi shit to the campus.

The applause is very thin.

Bollinger is making damage control, typical lib action when they are painted in a corner!

WHAT THE FUCK? I DON'T HAVE C-SPAN3. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

re: #203 Charles

re: #179 mean Gene

The fact is Mahmood will ignore all this and say whatever he wants to.

Exactly right. This is a show intended to redeem Bollinger's reputation, nothing more.

At least it will give a chance for the moonbats to see that Mahmoud doesnt want to answer the real questions...even when they come from someone on their own side.

I wonder if Iranian TV is going to show this.

He's getting hit pretty hard but A) he doesn't give a crap and B) I sense the tone will soften soon. We'll see I suppose.

When CSPAN-1 goes back to covering the House of Representatives, you can see this at CSPAN-3, Fox, MSNBC, and Chicken Noodle Network.

'Exactly right. This is a show intended to redeem Bollinger's reputation, nothing more.'

Bingo. Nothing more.

nevermind fnc has it

"You said Israel should be wiped off the map"

My question then is do you plan on wiping us off the map too?

Ahmadinejad will win everything he came to win. Never mind the questions.

Nutjob will just ignore all this. Or just call it "Lies, lies."

It's not totally unexpected -- Bollinger has been saying all week he would do this.

GO BOLLINGER!

Wait-CSPAN stopped streaming...where can we see the rest?

Still, he's doing a better job than the NPC dude did!

Agree Charles...curious now

As angry as I am with Columbia for letting Ahmadipshit speak, it looks like they're going to let him have it straight up the poop chute. He's going to have to defend his denial of the Holocaust, oppression of dissidents and terrorist funding in Iraq in front of what seems like an unfriendly audience...We'll see...

re: #107 bwohlgemuth

Unfortunately, George Lucas, who was once my hero, is a barking moonbat. He's on record I believe as saying that the storyline of the "prequels" is supposed to reflect the "real world," in other words that he believes neocons are manipulating world events in order to seize power.

damn, i don't have cspan3, but fox is covering it

Rightly see your government as the enemy

Amazing! Props to Bollinger. They did give Ahmadinejad a platform -- a platform for a tar and feathering.

Wow, not only is the pig out of the hanger, he just went supersonic.

[Link: www.foxnews.com...]

Earlier Monday, President Bush said that while he's "not sure" he would have offered the head of a state sponsor of terror a platform from which to outline his agenda, he thinks it's OK that Columbia University did invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak.

"This is a place of high learning and if the president (of Columbia) thinks it's a good idea to have the leader from Iran come and talk to the students as an educational experience, I guess it's OK with me," Bush told FOX News in an interview. "The problem is Ahmadinejad uses these platforms to advance his agenda, which I suspect in this case ... He doesn't want America to know his true intentions."

Amid angry demonstrations on the Ivy League campus and at the United Nations, Ahmadinejad was to later deliver a speech and conduct a question-and-answer session at Columbia, followed by a scheduled address to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.

"He's the head of a state sponsor of terror, and yet, an institution in our country gives him the chance to express his point of view, which really speaks to the freedoms of the country," Bush told FOX on Monday. "I'm not so sure I'd offer the same invitation, but nevertheless, it speaks volumes about the greatness, really, of America. We're confident enough to let a person express his views. I just really hope he tells everybody the truth."

Bush said he was "curious" to hear how Ahmadinejad describes his views on the Holocaust and the question of the destruction of Israel. The Iranian leader has called the Holocaust "a myth" and called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

OMG. Are the kosstards hanging Bolinger in effigy yet?

as a CBS alum all I can say is:

GO BOLLINGER!

Yom Kippur at Columbia Universirty - Dean Wants Hitler

Jewish students at Columbia who went to their
computers after breaking the fast for Yom Kippur were
met Saturday evening..

[Link: www.nysun.com...]

..with a link on the Drudge Report to an interview
with the dean of the School of International and
Public Affairs saying that he’d have been happy to
welcome Hitler to the campus. The interview, aired on
Fox News, was with John Coatsworth. He is seen in the
Day of Atonement broadcast chuckling like a veritable
Mearsheimer or Walt. Could he be oblivious to the
impact his words were going to have in a Jewish
community..

[Link: www.nysun.com...]

Where are my Valium? Basil Hayden? Both?

Is he referring to the troops who can't even sign up for ROTC at Columbia?

Puleeze.

Slap me... am I dreaming? It's a shoefest.

Soon the smoke will begin to fill the room with the wafting of yellow smoke and the odor of rotten eggs. Welcome to Columbia, little man.

Ahmadinejad's response.

Who are your sources again. I want their names so I can speak re-educate them.

Bollinger looks like an aged Crocodile Hunter...

Is this working? LIVE

re: #254 Cobra

They aren't going to like this at all.

re: #166 Charles

"You exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator."

*Blink*

Did...did someone there at Colombia just say that or was the audio hacked?

~ENT

I want the camera to pan over to him...I bet he's looking like he's listening dilligently, but probably singing a Madonna song in his head...

"like 73 virgins...yeah...touched for the very first time..."

The flying pig is not even being fueled up. I don't buy this at all.

Wait until the audience questions start.

"Frankly, I doubt you have the intellectual courage, Mr. President, to answer any of these questions."

He's hammering him.

Bollinger is kicking sand in Dinnerjackets face!

I doubt you will have the intellectual courage t answer these questions.

BITCH SLAP ALERT!

re: #204 Intestinal Fortitude

He doesn't have the ability to squirm; not in his islamic psychic.

Credit to Bollinger, he gave a tough speech and touched on a lot of good points.

I doubt that you will have the intellectual courage to answer these questions...

Bollinger covering his ass from all the blowback event, but I have to give it to him for laying it out there.

Lee calls him on the carpet in advance, he knows Mahmood won't bother to answer these questions.
He just wants Mahmood exposed for the empty fraud he is.

Hey Lee, let the ROTC back on campus and maybe I'll listen to some of your lies!

I doubt that you will have the intellectual courage to answer these questions...no kidding.
