The Ahmadinejad Circus
The only thing surprising about the performance was the active defiance, insult, telling-it-like-it-is to the Iranian terrorist that came from the mouth of college president Bollinger;
"Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," Bollinger said, to loud applause.
He said Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust might fool the illiterate and ignorant.
"When you come to a place like this it makes you simply ridiculous," Bollinger said. "The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history."
You have to ask yourself, "Did Bollinger invite him to Columbia to humiliate him?" The guy's a liberal, so that cannot be true. So what would motivate Bollinger to make the personal attacks on his invited guests?My mentor, Rush Limbaugh, has always taught me to " follow the money".
"Lawmakers warned about other consequences for Columbia and its president, Lee Bollinger, who has resisted campus and public pressure to cancel Mr. Ahmadinejad's appearance today, arguing that Columbia's commitment to scholarship requires the school to directly confront offensive ideas.
"There are issues that Columbia may have before us that obviously this cavalier attitude would be something that people would recall," Mr. Silver said. "Obviously, there's some degree of capital support that has been provided to Columbia in the past. These are things people might take a different view of … knowing that this is that kind of an institution."
Mr. Silver faulted Columbia for "attempting to legitimize this individual," saying, "We have an obligation because of the U.N. to allow him to come to this country. It doesn't mean we have to make him welcome. We don't have to give him a forum."
So there ya go! If you were shocked at the unfriendly treatment received by Ahmamentaljob, this should explain it for you.
