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.
Btw, I like your tagline.
Correct!! Imagine the spin on this in the Jew-hating, America-hating Arab world!! Columbia has aided and abetted.
It’s a sad day to see FReepers saying this is a good thing, sopping up the “academic freedom” of Columbia.
And, last night, sopping up the PBS take on “The War.”
Consumerism is dangerous!! We must look at the values underlying what is presented us, not just consume it!!
This is not entertainment. This is wrong to host the head of a nation that has admitted to killing OUR troops!!!
WRONG!!!
Columbia is all about free speech with Almadinejad, but not if you are an American they disagree with.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4531561974053398007&q=jim+gilchrist+at+columbia&total=16&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=7

17. Wiping Israel of the map would be like wiping away 95% of the world’s problems. Maybe this guy’s really not so bad after all. Now let’s see if the Zionist regime at the LA Times will post this comment. I sincerely doubt it, but “what the hey,” it’s worth a try.

Wow sure looks like him.
I know, you think some of the people who are “pleasantly surprised” by Bollinger’s speech are new to the whole political process & how leftists worldwide work.
Do you have a bias? Clearly you should understand the reality of the situation (not this clowns paper-thin propaganda)
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.
That was my point - just because the truth hurts, does not mean it is an insult. In this country we are free to call feces feces (so to speak) - unlike in Iran. Bollinger spoke the cold harsh truth - Ahmadinejad spewed comical propaganda. It is not free speech if we are forced to "spin nice"
whether his gratuitous insults helped or hurt Ahmadinejad
Wait a minute - if it is the truth, it is not a "gratuitous" insult" - you can't have it both ways. Your wording makes you sound like an Ahmadinejad cheerleader. Speaking the truth is not an insult. Did you want Bollinger to lie and claim this clown is "man of peace and freedom" - just to make nice???
It made him a sympathetic figure for some.
Maybe you feel that way and maybe hate-America-firsters will agree - but I doubt many others will agree with you. His comical propaganda trumps the "truth is an insult" angle.

Now why am I not suprised....
Look at the shape and length of the nose...the distance between the eyes...the depth of the eye sockets...the height of eyebrow and arch over the eye lid...ears sit on head at same position...the forehead width and hairline mid forehead...hands appear to be the correct size [can't determine finger shape in recent photo]...
Age doesn't change the bone structure lying beneath the face...anyhoo...just my observations
Oooops, maybe can’t link directly from Malkin’s site?
I only see the red x’s; maybe others can see photos.
Lol...and the cut of his suit.
It’s him.
That photo looks more like him than others I’ve seen.
The only thing that hurts the Persian Pimp in America is his tacit admission that Iran has tried to purge homosexuals.
In the Middle East the Persian Pimp wins, the applause track will be played ad infinitum and the islamonuts will once again be reassured that they can kill Americans with impunity from many Americans.
And in Iran, the mullahs who are really in charge, will see what a publicity disaster Ahmnutjob is and will cut him down in stature.
People that watch this stuff closely (like FR and the sunday shows) will see it for what it is. People who would be 'swayed' are not those who pay any attention anyway. The mullahs will see the reality. The dissidents in Iran will see it as a counter to what the MSM portrays the left as.

EXERPT
“You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated,” Bollinger told Ahmadinejad about the leader’s Holocaust denial. “Will you cease this outrage?”
sopping up the PBS take on WW?????
You didnt even watch it so how can you make a judgement on it?
Thats what the libs do ....make up their minds about something they wont even entertain. Consumerism may be dangerous but those that make uninformed judgements are more so.
Why don’t we just give him the keys to the city and have done with it? Giving him this bully pulpit was insane, and it will be played for every propaganda dime it’s worth, both with the Muslims and the left.
And I’m beginning to think that they’re going to win without even firing a shot.
I kid you not, PB just said he thought the nutjob was smart and brave to come here and take questions, and that is was a coup in nutjob’s favor, also said that Bollinger just did a hard lecture for his base donors.
