OK, I stand corrected.. Well... Sort of

Posted By Deebow

Well, Ahmawhackjob gave his little speech today and I have to say, that I am pleasantly surprised about how the students, OK, only some of the students, responded to the Iranian President.  It wasn't exactly a love-fest, but it certainly was cordial.  Maybe next time, the leader of the Minutemen can receive the same cordial treatment from the students at Columbia.

I hope this demonstration helps to satisfy all of you free speech nuts out there who think it is OK to allow state sponsors of terrorism to speak their minds.  Next, I am certain that Columbia will be inviting Hugo Chavez, another believer in the promise of America.

And for his next trick, perhaps he should have his interpreter shout "FIRE!" on his way out of the lecture hall.

The funniest part of his speech, at least for me, is that Ahmawhackjob says he does not have any "gay people" in Iran.  This elicited quite a guffaw from the crowd, but obviously no real outrage.  They sure have a lot of outrage saved up for the US Military and the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and the banning of ROTC from their campus.  This is a disconnect for me.

Pop Quiz:  Which is a worse example of discrimination against gay people; not getting to join the military and get a job being cold, wet and muddy during most of your very long workday, or being killed for your sexual behavior?

Last time I checked, the US Military just doesn't let you enlist if you tell them you are gay.  If you live in Iran, and someone knows you are gay, and they tell someone, you can get beheaded, or hung, or shot, or stoned to death.....  And not by some roaming band of gay-bashers looking for a victim, you get actual government employees who take care of that ugly business.

Ahmawhackjob, at a very minimum, needs some time on the couch with a professional.  The president of Columbia University needs electro-shock therapy.  His little diddy at the beginning did little to assuage me about his feelings.  He could have done one better and just not invited Ahmawhackjob.

I will consider a Columbia degree of any kind as something of worth when they allow the ROTC program back to their campus.

» A sign of Ahmadinejads success from Neocon News
While Im hearing it spun both ways, I think that the most obvious sign that Ahmadinejads propaganda play at Columbia University is the fact that it has become the event of the daily news cycle, and it is feasible that this story will stre... [Read More]

The inference to be drawn from the activities of the Columbia students and faculty who encouraged Ahmadinejad is that they know Iran is killing Americans but could care less.

Finding humor in Ahmadinejad's gay bashing is almost as bad as feminists who stand quietly by while women in arab countries are abused and killed.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the asshat who makes the bombs that shoot at my kid gets to fly through US airspace, unfettered and invited to spew his beady eyed irrational crap at college kids. and this is how we demonstrate "freedom of speech"? By allowing it to a terrorist country....hmmmmm. OK. I need a sedative.

What happened to "persona non grata"?

[twolaneflash]

Giving this worm of a human an exalted status to the world, by granting him access to an American educational forum and to the media, is a self-inflicted wound in the war on islamism. He should have died in an American attack on his soil long ago for the many American soldiers he is responsible for murdering in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. My son is in Iraq now; let the fall of Iran begin.

Ok, Here's my one wish: To be alive or at least at least watching when the Middle East runs out of oil.

I think you are wrong on the timeline... I think that once a man is exposed as gay in Iran, he gets buggered by some guys... and then beheaded, stoned etc. Because he is the gay one, the others are just relieving the tension

Twolane- I'm with you...let the destruction begin.

[warvet48]

I agree with Twolane; We are long overdue
