'Yale Taliban' May Not Meet Standards

...of any sort, it seems.

[Argus]

Watch Princeton scoop him up now.

Yale university seems to love every Anti-American organisation.Espechially there Hero That came from Communist China.So whats wrong with having a murdering terrorist in their midst. As long as he's not killing the student's and faculty at Yale they don't care.

Some day its going to come back and bite them bad.

New benchmark for how far is too far when it comes to "promoting diversity." Admitting a senior Taliban official is too far. Less senior America-haters welcome.

[ScreamingFist]

The second serves older students who are seeking a Yale degree. Hashemi, who was the Taliban’s "ambassador-at-large,” has applied for admission in the fall under that program, even though he has only a fourth-grade education and a high school equivalency certificate.

LOL! Hashemi is fine company for Yale...what's all the whoopla about? He'll fit in just perfectly with the administrators and faculty.....and it's FREE! Truly, I thought this is what every good commie and socialist wants, so why not?

Have the military authorities arrest him as an active terrorist (which he is) and shag his ass to another american location -- Gitmo.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Well surprise, surprise. The Yale Marxists failed to properly vet their token Anti-American celebrity "student".

Kudos to John Fund, who has been all over this abomination from day one.

New Haven is a dump.

Here is what the illustrious Juan Cole wrote on his blog:

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal editorial page has published a large number of falsehoods about me. The most egregious is this: ' He calls Israel "the most dangerous regime in the Middle East." '

(BTW, it seems the wackiest of liberal nutcase professors have tons of time for long elaborate indulgent blogs.)

Now, Juan may have said this aloud in a speech, but if you doubt that this accurately reflects the measure of the man, here are things he posted on said blog:

• "The most dangerous regime to United States interests in the Middle East is that of Ariel Sharon, not because he fights terrorists, but because he is stealing the land of another people and is brutalizing them in the process"

Maybe it's not right for Fund to have used quotations, but it should be interesting that Cole, in the current post, does not attempt to clarify what he did write. And Juan Cole is a contributor to that bastion of anti-Israel pleasantries antiwar.com.

If it goosesteps like an anti-Semite and it heils like an anti-Semite...

[moog]

Ask him where he heils from.

[AmishDude]

I'm not registering just to post on his self-indulgent onanistic blog.

[moog]

Neither am I and I can't use big words either. :)

[Interesting Times]

Yale doesn't have standards in the conventional sense -- at least none that would bar anti-American terrorists -- but it does have financial interests.

[AmishDude]

Look up "onanistic". It'll make you smile.

[moog]

Oh geezzzz....

[AmishDude]

Appropriate, no?

[moog]

Yes, and thanks for a new work to use in some way. HEHE. I'll use it in one of my BS paragraphs.

Last week, Yale's president Richard Levin issued a statement saying that a review had "raised questions whether the admissions practices of the non-degree Special Student Program have been consistent with the published criteria, let alone the standard that should prevail."

You think maybe it was his 4th-grade education level that tipped them off?

[Fred Hayek]

Standards? How dare you require standards! Standards are the exact polar opposite of DIVERTHITY! /sarcasm
