If noted journalist and Columbia University alumna Aliza Davidovit walks onto the campus of her alma mater today, it won't be to recall fond memories of her college days – it will be to rip up her diploma from Columbia to protest the appearance of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"I once prized my Columbia diploma and degree, and in my career as a journalist I've done much to make my alma mater proud. But today I am very, very ashamed. I have removed my diploma from the wall and if Ahmadinejad speaks, I will tear it in two, " Davidovit told WND."

"In Judaism, tearing is a sign of mourning. And indeed it is a day of mourning – a day when the integrity of freedom died a little."

Davidovit, who earned her master's degree in journalism from Columbia, is a writer, author, journalist and former TV producer. She is currently contributing editor at Lifestyles magazine and specializes in interviewing and writing about the world's most famous and influential people for cover stories. She worked at ABC News "20/20" for six years with Connie Chung and in the ABC News Terrorism/Investigations Unit with John Miller. She was also an associate producer and booker at the Fox News Channel.

She proudly displays three pictures on her page: her with Bill Clinton, her with Hillary Clinton and her with Mayor Bloomberg. And it looks like she's been exercising in the picture with Bill. Yecch!

She is a walking stereotype.

Columbia University and the Columbia Broadcasting System. Similar in may ways.

He'll meet with others while he is here to do his bidding.

I’m surprise that the gay and feminist lobbies aren’t up in arms. Still, “the enemy of my enemy ....”

Aliza has some guts, that’s for sure. She also very pretty. I guess her choice of pics fingers her a democrat. Maybe she’ll use those brains of hers, and turn to the bright side ;)

Columbia welcomes the new hitler because liberalism is in a close alliance with jihadism.

Socialists don't consider themselves Americans. The Constitution decentralizes power from the government to the people. This is anathema to Socialism that seeks to create a centralized form of government. Consequently the socialists will do whatever is necessary to destroy this country including supporting Islam. Socialists are using the approach the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I hope she doesnt rip up someone else’s diploma, the way John Kerry threw someone elses medals over the fence.

>> He’ll meet with others while he is here to do his bidding.

That’s what I don’t understand. Why is he free to meet with /anyone/ while he’s here? Even if you agree (and I don’t) that we /must/ let him speak at the UN... why do we have to let him go ANYWHERE else or talk with ANYONE else? Why can’t we give him a VISA that allows him passage from LaGuardia (under armed military guard) to the UN — let him give his a$$clown talk — maybe take a pee and have a drink — then escort him back to his plane? (Oh, and make sure that ALL of his entourage are under armed military guard AT ALL TIMES.)

Why are we being so STUPID as to allow the man who is sending the material and agents into Iraq to kill our fighting men ANY liberties in our country at all?

It’s infuriating.

I don't have a problem with Nutjob being questioned by US students. If they rip him a new a*hole and grill him over his threats to Israel, his promotion of "Death to America!" and persecution of his own people, over his psychotic obsession with bringing about the end of the world and arresting squirrels and hiding from UFOs and providing IEDs to terrorists in Iraq.

But if they just adore him and use him for a forum to bash the US and Bush, tear that diploma up. It means nothing.
