Organized protests against the appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the U.N. began even before he arrived in New York City.

A group of about 40 elected officials and civic leaders gathered Sunday outside Columbia University, where Ahmadinejad is scheduled to speak on Monday.

Some carried placards with slogans such as "Don't give a platform to hate," and "Go to hell," while denouncing Ahmadinejad as a "Hitler wannabe" and a Holocaust denier.

Said New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind: "There is no excuse to invite this madman, this little Hitler. "This is immoral. This is outrageous. This is sick. Do we have to invite him into our community? ... There is absolutely no justification."

Added city Councilman David Weprin: "This invitation is a slap in the face to all New Yorkers and especially to those families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11 right here in New York City."

Among the protests scheduled:

• A noon rally across the street from the U.N. led by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Community Relations, in cooperation with the United Jewish Communities, the UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. Speakers include Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles F. "Chic" Burlingame III, pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11.

• A rally outside Columbia University from 1 to 3 p.m. By students from Columbia and other universities including Rutgers, Brooklyn College and Queens College, area high school students and dozens of Jewish organizations all outraged by the appearance of Ahmadinejad.

• Demonstration outside of Washington's National Press Building protesting Ahmadinejad's video linked speech at a luncheon at National Press Club from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

I would not be surprised if he is here as a suicide bomber

I heard on the radio on the way in this morning that he plans to go to the World Trade Center site anyway. How is that weasel not confined to quarters?

[newfreep]

Nah, these cowards always get someone else to do their dirty work. Even mothers are happy to send their own kids to certain death.

This is a pure evil death cult focused on world domination and the left wing socialists either support it, are too stupid to understand or BOTH.

Get him boys!

And girls.

I hope there are enough voices to shout down this Jew-hating, woman-hating, civilization-hating, terrorist-supporting, Islamofascist bastard child of swine.

Go to Hell, Ahma-nutjob.

Who issued his visa?

[agrace]

Apparently there is a law that allows UN diplomats to travel protected in a radius of several miles (someone posted about it here a few days ago).

[doodad]

Then he should be trailed by goombas and beggers every step of the way.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I would be very surprised. The Islamonazi leadership are a bunch of gutless cowards who prefer to exploit the lost and poor and to convince THEM to strap bombs onto their bodies to murder innocent people.

If I were a New Yorker, I’d be unhappy about all the security for this bum and the resultant traffic jams and major disruptions in our lives. I know when some famous person comes here, the whole city shuts down. It’s a royal pain the keister, not to mention how the local economy suffers as people can’t get to work or can’t shop.

"There is no excuse to invite this madman, this little Hitler. "

I thought all this time that Bush was Hitler?

I'm so confused - did they move the goal post again??

[AliVeritas]

One of the things I thought about from the beginning announcement of GZ.

Why was the press all set up wayyyy ahead of time?

I know he requested the GZ trip three weeks ago, why was that held back?

Why did Bloomberg (dumb question), think we were stupid and lie to say his Col. speech was cancelled?

There are radicals all through Columbia btw.

If I didn’t know better...

[AliVeritas]

What the heck, in true form, the evil twin Hugo will have his honeys back on Wednesday here.

[NavyCanDo]

He is a “Hitler wannabe” and a Holocaust denier, and that is bad enough, but he is much much worse. He has American blood on his hands. How many of our young men and women won’t be coming home from Iraq alive because of him?

[theDentist]

No, cowards like him convice the imbiciles and fanatics among them to take such steps, but he’s not as stupid as that.

[donnab]

“I would not be surprised if he is here as a suicide bomber”

It’s comforting to know there are people who protest this man and what he stands for.
