When I heard that Columbia University had invited Iran's two-bit terrorist thug/President to speak before his address to the U.N. General Assembly, I was not happy. How could a university invite a murderer and a terrorist to it's campus to speak, yet allow an on-stage assault on a Minuteman speaker last year?
And then they took the trouble to invite him back for a speech this year, then dis-invited him.
Columbia's double-standard on speakers is astonishing. They'd rather invite someone whose troops and bombs have killed HUNDREDS of American troops in Iraq and THOUSANDS of Iraqi civilians. This is deeply offensive.
The aggressive posturing of Columbia's president in his introduction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the subsequent question & answer session (which was amusing and showed who this man really is--a terrorist, a liar, a Holocaust denier and a total idiot) did not lessen the offense that Columbia committed when they invited this man to speak in the first place.
Columbia's statement about being open to free speech by all is a quaint lie as well. They stood by as Columbia students charged the stage while the Minuteman was giving his speech last year; all they did was show Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist the door.
Hypocrisy is alive and well at Columbia.
