MONA CHAREN
SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 Dinner with Ahmadinejad Why is a man who represents all that liberals hate being welcomed onto campus?
The Columbia Spectator is the student newspaper at Columbia University, the school I was once proud to call my alma mater. A report in that newspaper raises the following question: Are leading American universities producing moral illiterates?
According to the Spectator, a group of students who are members of a group called CIRCA, the Columbia International Relations Council and Association, has been invited to attend a private dinner with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he travels to New York for the United Nations General Assembly meeting next week. A student spokesman for the group, asked if the invitation provoked controversy within CIRCA, seemed surprised by the question. “Everyone was really enthusiastic,” said Tim Chan. “They’re thrilled to have this opportunity.”
Ahmadinejad represents everything that campus liberals profess to hate. In order of importance, those things would be: (1) persecuting homosexuals; (2) cruel and abusive treatment of women; (3) brutal treatment of minorities; (4) shooting opponents of the regime in the streets; (5) restricting free speech; (6) building nuclear weapons; and (7) sponsoring terror worldwide.
Tehran provides material and moral support for Bashar Assad’s murderous regime in Syria, which has mowed down protesters by the thousands in the past few months. The Iranian regime is also guilty of fetid anti-Semitism, and has the blood of many American soldiers who served in Iraq on its hands — though it isn’t clear that the latter two offenses rate very highly with Columbia students.

The book “Unholy Alliance” by David Horowitz explains it all.
The left hates America first and foremost.
So they will grant a pass to anyone else who does, no matter how repugnant. (See Castro, Islam, Saddam)

But many campus liberals join A’jad in his extreme, grandstanding, public hatred of Israel, so ...
The libtards will walk besides the muzzies until they overcome the U.S. and Israel..then the libtards will stand amazed as they are wiped out by the muzzies at the last.
Liberalism, “progressivism,” socialism, and communism are all steeped in hypocrisy and have been for ages.
He needs to be arrested every time he sets a foot off UN property. Maybe we can trade him for the 2 stupid hiker lefties Iran is holding.I’d be willing to bet his police escort harbors no love for him.
American libtards hate America so much, that any enemy of America is their “friend.”
Even enemies who would put them against the wall and shoot them the minute they took power.
He hates Israel like they do and that is the common ground shared with Obama’s crowd.
