Anyone know where I can find an audio or video stream of Ahmadinejad's appearance at columbia? Blan on blogging it I can find one.
Yeah, one of the times Ahmadinejad received applause was when he turned against Bollinger.
Truly ironic, isn't it?
Basically Bolton said- forget how it looks to us in the US- in the rest of the world, particularly in the ME- he’s been accorded a status he never should have been given- they will look uip to him now...
Agreed. When Rush Limbaugh essentially says "ditto" to a liberal Dean's speech, says that it's exactly what Rush would've said to Nutjob if he had the oppty, and that a liberal college's dean essentially parrot's Bush's every WOT speech,...how is it possible to look at this as just a great day in America?
“I wish I were able to watch this.”
I’ll bet there’ll be lots of re-runs.
Some quotes:
Discover the reality...
Science and wisdom can also be misused..
Selfishness does not allow some to accept reality...
Some scientists are hiding the truth..
Material desires place humans against realities..
Some big powers stop other nations’ development...they tap telephone calls..
Biggest God-given gift is science and knowledge..
Palestine is an old wound..as old as 60 yrs..for 60 years women and children have been terrorized.
Mideast security has been challenged for 60 years.
Security in the middle east is in danger.
Why should the Palestinians pay the price for 60 years.
Iran’s nuclear activites shown to be peaceful..
We are a peaceful nation. Of course we let IAEA inspect nuclear ops.
We’re friends with the Jewish people.
After that, I stopped writing!
Deny the Gays?
THINK AGAIN.

THE FOXNEWS ARTICLE ABOVE DOESN’T EVEN MENTION HIS OUTRAGEOUS CLAIM THAT IRAN HAS NO GAYS!!!
ONCE AGAIN, THE MEDIA COVER THE ASS OF AMERICA’S ENEMIES

INDEED.
Thx
And it's on display for all to see ... which is EXACTLY why I'm glad that Columbia University has allowed this speech/forum to take place.
Sometimes FReepers get so caught up in the details that they forget that "big-picture" things are also in play. This speech is one of those times.
I lived two years in Iran, 1977-79. I was there during the fall of the Shah and the hijacking of the Iranian Revolution by Khomeini. I have some understanding of what is going on there today as well. It is not a matter of Bollinger speaking the truth, but rather, whether his gratuitous insults helped or hurt Ahmadinejad. I think they helped Ahmadinejad. It made him a sympathetic figure for some.
FoxNews reporters have already edited out his outrageous claim that Iran has no gays, in response to the charge his regime executes gays.
Agree completely. The academics think they can outsmart these ruthless dictators. They can’t.
I have heard Farsi doesn’t translate into English and retain the same meanings, nor English into Farsi
That's the bottom line. Sad day for the U.S.A.
Absolutely. When he returns to Tehran, Li'l Akmed will announce his "victorious" visit to CU, cherrypick the video--a la a photoshopped still photo-- (mute the spoken English), and get a freebie propaganda victory for the viewers back home in Iran, and throughout the ME. And the morons at CU think that they're the smartest people on Earth. What idiots.
I think the point is the homosexual comment is a small easily digested sound bite of lunacy - although he spewed lots of lunacy that takes a bit more effort to digest.
Yep 2 things stood out the most..
In Iran women are freer than any other women on the earth.
There are no homosexuals in Iran.
As I posted on another thread. I wonder what happened to them.
You can clearly tell from his hair cut that there are no homosexuals in Iran.
There was never a doubt about what the Iranians and others over there would see.
What happened today for USA was much more profound.
Its going to be pretty hard to defend the madman from any
American from this point forward.
The applauding students at Columbia look like idiots.
US Air Force
US Naval Air Wings
US Cruise Missile Launch Teams
In keeping with Ahmanutjob’s school of diplomacy, these are just America’s “Goodwill Ambassadors”, yeah, that’s the ticket, raining down goodwill and love, yep that’s it.
