Hitler to Speak at Columbia University

Might as well be:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitationto speak at Columbia from School of International and Public Affairs dean John Coatsworth, according to a University spokesman.

The event is scheduled to take place on the afternoon of Monday, September 24--the same day that Ahmadinejad is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly--as part of the World Leaders Forum.

"Necessarily, on occasion this will bring us into contact with beliefs many, most, or even all of us will find offensive and even odious," University President Lee Bollinger said in a statement. "We trust our community, including our students, to be fully capable of dealing with these occasions, through the powers of dialogue and reason."

"Opportunities to hear, challenge, and learn from controversial speakers of different views are central to the education and training of students for citizenship in a shrinking and still dangerous world. This is especially true for SIPA students, many of whose careers will require them to confront human rights and security issues throughout the globe," Coatsworth said in a statement.

"Controversial"? What is controversial about wanting to "wipe Israel off the map"? That isn't a controversial statement - that is a statement of a foaming-at-the-mouth nutcase. And such is considered an excellent invite for Columbia.

This is what you get from post-Christian, moral equivalency, leftwing dimwits. There is nothing of value to be heard from someone like the "president" of Iran. He's a tyrant, a thug, a murderer - the oppressor of his people, the thief of their wealth, the bane of the Moslem world. This is the man ANSWER should be demanding answer for war crimes - but, no; the left doesn't really have too much problem with him and thinks President Bush at least as great a threat.

We should pass a law prohibiting the extension of federal grants or student loans to Columbia - with an invitation like this, it is clear that Columbia is too far gone to be salvaged. Better to just close it down and start over again.

"This is what you get from post-Christian, moral equivalency, leftwing dimwits." -Mark Noonan

I couldn't have said better. This is absolutely appalling! Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-the Holocaust-denying terrorist who is currently killing American troops in Iraq while planning the next Jewish holocaust. Outrageous!

Posted by: Freedom1 [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 01:22 AM


And the Daily Kos PRAISES the terrorist leader, and yet at the same time denigrating and attacking good Christian folks, such as Peter King... Unreal!!!

Just goes to show that Democrats are the Terrorists best friends and allies!!

If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to be allowed to come to America, then President Bush should meet with him at Ground Zero, and say to him—'Look what you and your terrorist friends done to our great country. You see these lights? There once stood great towers here, and they are now gone, and three thousand beautiful lives snuffed out because of you and your friends stupid ideology of hate.' And then tell him, 'Now, get on a plane and go back to your country, and never come back, Devils aren't allowed in the U.S.'

He should be arrested if he leaves the "friendly confines" of the U.N. building. And the CU officials who set this up should be arrested for harboring a knwon terrorist.

The DailyKooks jerks should be arrested just for being so stupid.

Hey, mack55IQ, there's another "Marine" brother for you. Markookis Markookie, the guy who runs DailyKooks, is a former Marine, just like you and Lard-Ass Murtha.

Gee, mack55IQ, Markookie, and Lard-Ass--the modern-day Three Stooges...

When the leader of a nation is said to have said he'd like to "wipe Israel off the map", I'd like to hear more from this person- not less.

There's no debate over the fact the he's not happy about the establishment of Israel Israel or or about US/Israeli policy in the middle east, but what exactly did he mean by this statement? Did he mean he wishes to kill all Jews, as you suggest when you call him Hitler? Did he mean that he would like to see the Jews leave the middle east by somehow reversing the establishment of Israel? How accurate was the translation? I don't deny that he meant any of these things, but I'd like to have more than this translated sound byte in order to reinforce my opinion.

This statement has been and will continued to be used by some as "exhibit A" in the case to make war with Iran. For that reason alone, I need to hear more. I can't just cover my ears and dismiss him as a "devil" if I'm to ask Americans to die in a cause to remove him.

So, Ahmadinenutjob can speak at Columbia, but Larry Summers is too controversial to speak at UC.

Amazing.

Or maybe not.

Extra,

If only you were that open to listening to the opinions of conservatives.

So the former American hostage taker and current fomenter of terrorism and maniacal tyrant of Iran is speaking on American soil? When do you suppose Bush will be speaking at Tehran University?

Oh, nevermind, that's right, Bush IS the dictator. Incidentally, have you seen what that friend-of-the-left and Danny Glovers buddy, Chavez is doing to the school system in Venezuela? Maybe we should listen to his ideas on education, right extramedium?

Posted by: neocon [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 09:05 AM


Extramedium,

OK, let's see if I understand you correctly. If Ahmadinejad's motive is to kill all Israelis, then that's not so good, but if he just wants to turn Israel into a glass parking lot, then that might me acceptable. Unfuc*ingbelievable.

Retired Spook,

You don't understand me correctly. I'm saying that I need more than a sound byte to understand his motivations. I'm anxious for him to elaborate on whatever it was he was trying to say.

Supporters of the Zionist regime will receive their response during the world Qods Day's rallies, Iran government spokesman, Gholam-Hossein Elham, said Wednesday.

Qods Day is held each year on the last Friday of Muslims fasting month of Ramadan after it was nominated by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, as a day to voice the protest of the Islamic Ummah against the Zionists.

"The US loses all opportunities to cooperate with regional and other world states by trying to support a regime (the Zionist regime) which is now at its weakest political and social position," Elham said.

He warned that Washington's insistence on its wrong policies and arrogant approaches would have no result "but further political disgrace" for itself.

Referring to the approaching World Qods Day, the spokesman stressed, "Supporters of the Zionist regime will definitely receive the final response for their support on that day."


And yet, this is the utter state of brain-danaged denial the left finds themselves in once again:

ATLANTA (AP) - Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that it was almost inconceivable that Iran would "commit suicide" by launching missiles at Israel.

What do you suppose the reaction would be if Bush said that:

"supporters of the Iranian government will receive their final response on the day Christ had risen!"


Can you imagine? But somehow acceptable to the left when uttered by tyrants.


UNF*CKINGBELIEVABLE!

Not to mention the fact that you don't even have an accurate translation of the man's remarks -- which were a quote anyway.
Just more spin in support of war with Iran -- the Bushies may not be too smart, but they have learned that when all else fails you can get a bump in the polls by bombing someone.

Posted by: Salvelinus [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 10:23 AM


Scalitofan is a typical troll who gets a thrill from posting pure crap so he can get a response. The best thing to do is to ignore the idiot and hope he goes away. He's got to have the most pitiful life in existence today.

I have emailed the White House, Bloomberg, and the members of the CU political committee. I suggest everyone do the same. Let's bombard them with emails.

Right now, real Americans are putting together protests against extra medium and scalitofan's #1 hero. They are even getting the NYPD and NYFD together to block his route if he tries to get near ground zero. I hope and pray they succeed.

Posted by: kimberly4bush [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 11:14 AM


I would assume my government is engaging Iran regularly through back channels, and not showing the back of its hand until the bombs fly like the more deluded regulars on this blog would seem to prefer. When there are hopeful sighs out of Iran, they need to be rewarded in a manner commensureate with their promise. In no way do I think Iran's leaders hould be permitted near ground zero, but that country needs to know that such expressions are a step toward reconciliation with us.

Posted by: Thrower [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 11:15 AM


Ahmadinejihad wants to visit Ground Zero so he can create propaganda! Anyone who believes he is trying to reconcile with the US is as dillusional as he is.

I have nothing against the Iranian people because over 70% want their current regime disbanded. The US needs to assist them in doing so - without dropping bombs or going to war with the country.

Take this wreath and shove it ...

As evidenced by Bushs current high poll numbers right Sal? It's all about the polls, right Sal?


First of all Kimberly, you're absolutely right. Secondly. scalito is only regurgitating what was fed to him by his masters.


Aren't neoconservatives discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran to preemptively destroy their peaceful uranium enrichment program?


Can you prove, beyond a doubt that Iran has exclusively peaceful designs for the nuclear program? Also, the world community is UNITED in stating that Iran should not possess this weaponry.

Didn't the US topple Iran's democratically elected government and is now calling for regime change in Iran?


Wrong. If you knew anything about history (other than what your masters taught you), Mossadegh was trying to usurp power by communizing the nations oil industry over the objection of the ruling Pahlavi family, which had ruled over Iran since 1919. At the request of the ruling Pahlavi family, the US, Great Britain, AND the Iran military unseated Mossadegh.

Finally, while there remain potentially very dangerous issues with Saudia Arabia, the current government of that country is fighting the extreme elements themselves, while Iran funds and supports many terrorist operations.

scalito, you deven realize what a fool you have made yourself out to be. You will mature one day (maybe) and will view the world through a more snesible prism. I only ask that you think, instead of buying the rhetoric of your demented masters.

Have a nice day.

Iran has done NOTHING to the United States unless provoked.

BAGHDAD, July 2 — Agents of Iran helped plan a January raid in Shiite holy city of Karbala in Iraq in which five American soldiers were killed by Islamic militants, an American military spokesman said Monday.

scalito, Just tell me when you become too embarrassed to continue.


Posted by: neocon [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 11:48 AM


Neocon,
Overthrowing an elected leader at the request of a despot doesn't seem like a particularly American thing to do -- but we did it because monarchy trumps even elected socialism -- right?

Posted by: Salvelinus [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 11:58 AM


Mossadegh was trying to give his countrymen a FAIR SHARE of the oil profits that BP was siphoning off to London.


He did not have that right.

Due to a multitude of disagreements with his former allies, especially the communists and Islamists, and disagreements with the Shah and with the parliament over his handling of the talks regarding compensation of the British side, he dissolved the parliament using a referendum to avoid impeachment. This act was characterized as unconstitutional by some of his closest allies as well as opponents, and led to the Shah's dismissing him from office on August 16, 1953 [4][5][6][7][8]. Mossadegh later insisted that the text of the constitution was subject to interpretation, and that his actions had been in accordance with its spirit rather than its text [9]. He eventually was removed from power on August 19, 1953, by military intervention.

Secondly,

You do remember the Iran-Iraq war right? So now all of a sudden Iran is rushing to protect the Iraqi's. C'mon you're not that stupid (or maybe you are). When was the last time America went to war with Canada and Mexico? And I will remind you Iranians are not Arabs, they're Persians, which is an entirely different belief set. Just another complete difference they have with Iraqi's.

Again, try and view the world through mature eyes. And let me know when you become embarrassed.

He was only elected to the parliament and was APPOINTED Prime Minister, serving ruling Pahlavi family. Pahlavi had the right under the rule of law to dismiss him. Do you believe in following the rule of law?

I love listening to rants from brain dead liberals such as yourself. When you realize that you're dead wrong you resort with the tired refrain: "Thanks for proving my point"

You're so predictable.

Hey, good news. In the meeting we found a way to skim 10% of every pension contribution to donate to the Dick Cheney fund.


Back to the scalitofan spanking.

Written in 1954 by one of the coup's chief planners, the history details how United States and British officials plotted the military coup that returned the shah of Iran to power and toppled Iran's elected prime minister, an ardent nationalist.


That was an excerpt from your link from the NYT (hahahahaha excuse me). You make the same grevious mistake as the NYT does. Mossadegh was not an ELECTED leader. He was an APPOINTED leader. Big, big difference. The reason for yours, and the NYT's defense of him is because he was a nationalist, which both of you subscribe to, therefore justifying your dishonesty. But like it or not, he was APPOINTED!


actually you are DEAD WRONG here. 50 percent of Iranians are persians. - scalitofan


Here are the facts. OUCH!


Ethnicity and Language
Iran is a multi-ethnic and multi-language (mostly Persian) country. About 8% of Iranians are ethnic Arabs and native speakers of Arabic.

just because there may internal conflict within a country doesn't justify illegally deposing the elected Prime Minister and organizing protests to oust said government. next. - scalitofan

And again, you make the mistake of elected vs appointed. Do try and discern the difference. I will point out the last word of scalitofans diatribe: "next". This is a common liberal phrase used to prevent any further debate. Evidence that they do love fascism.


Posted by: neocon [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 02:01 PM


I'm scalito

"Mossadegh was not an ELECTED leader."

thanks for proving my point. once again and again and again. The british and americans have NO legal right to topple a government and/or interfere in the political affairs of sovereign nation states. everything you said is moot. if a dictator were to take over Mexico today we do not have the right to overthrow him.

"Iran is a multi-ethnic and multi-language (mostly Persian) country. About 8% of Iranians are ethnic Arabs and native speakers of Arabic."

Wow, you are CLUELESS. Here are the facts from the CIA, a favorite organization of yours.

Major Ethnic Groups in Iran

Ethnic groups: Persians 51%, Azeris 24%, Gilaki-Mazandarani 8%, Kurds 7%, Arabs 3%, Baloch 2%, Turkmen 2%, Lurs 2%, other 1% (based on CIA data)

Posted by: BuyRubles [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 02:13 PM


THIS IS FROM THE CIA. **The agency sought to "produce such pressure on the shah that it would be easier for him to sign the papers required of him than it would be to refuse," the secret history states. Officials turned to his sister for help.**

**On July 11, President Eisenhower finally signed off on the plan. At about the same time, C.I.A. and British intelligence officers visited Princess Ashraf on the French Riviera and persuaded her to return to Iran and tell her brother to follow the script.**

next. continue to rant, neocon, because even the CIA disagrees with you. surely you know more than them.

Rube,

Azeris orinate from the Azerbajanis from Azerbajan: a Persian territory. Just FYI

75% Persian would be considered a "mostly" Persian country. And for that matter, 51% Persian would be conseidered a "mostly" Persian country.

The british and americans have NO legal right to topple a government and/or interfere in the political affairs of sovereign nation states. everything you said is moot. if a dictator were to take over Mexico today we do not have the right to overthrow him. - rube


Try and hang with me here, I will go slow. Mossadegh was APPOINTED by the Shah of Iran, the legal ruler of the country at that time. When the Shah dismissed Mossadegh and was faced with opposition, he asked for military assistance from the US and GB, of which we obliged. In fact the coup was LED by the General of the Iranian Army, Fazlollah Zahedi.

next.


Posted by: neocon [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 02:27 PM


"In fact the coup was LED by the General of the Iranian Army, Fazlollah Zahedi."

did you forget that Zahedi was a paid agent of the US?

**On 28 April 1951, the Majlis named Mossadegh as new prime minister by a vote of 79-12.**

please read the Iranian constitution before spouting your bs about "appointments."

regardless - despite your points being moot anyway, unless you concede that it is okay to "illegally" topple other governments, which is against US law - would you have stepped down if the British and Americans were plotting against your government.

nice try.

next.

like I said before, Iranians are NOT persian any more than Turks are Turkish.

Posted by: BuyRubles [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 02:39 PM


Here's some light reading for you Rube:


Mossadegh became aware of the plots against him and grew increasingly wary of conspirators acting within his government. He set up a national referendum to dissolve parliament in spite of the Constitutional provision which gave the Shah sole authority to dissolve Parliament. After taking the additional step of abolishing the Constitutional guarantee of a “secret ballot” Mossadegh’s victory in the national plebiscite was assured. The electorate was forced into a non-secret ballot and Mossadegh won 99.93% of the vote. Allegations that Mossadegh was resorting to dictatorial tactics to stay in power were in turn cited by the US- and British-supported opposition press as a reason to remove Mossadegh from power. Parliament was suspended indefinitely, and Mossadegh's emergency powers were extended.

Inside Iran, Mossadegh's popularity was eroding as promised reforms failed to materialize, and the economy continued to suffer due to heavy British sanctions. His policy of collective farming had been a disaster, which further increased his unpopularity with the Iranian public. The Tudeh Party abandoned its alliance with Mossadegh, as did the conservative clerical factions.

In August 1953, Mossadegh attempted to convince the Shah to leave the country. The Shah refused, and formally dismissed the Prime Minister, in accordance with the foreign intelligence plan. Mossadegh refused to leave, however, and when it became apparent that he was going to fight, the Shah, as a precautionary measure foreseen by the British/American plan, flew to Baghdad and on from there to Rome, Italy, after hesitantly signing two decrees, one dismissing Mossadegh and the other nominating General Fazlollah Zahedi Prime Minister, subsequent to pressure from the US and UK intelligence agencies. The choice had fallen on Zahedi, who in the months before, Roosevelt and Wilbur had identified as perfectly suitable to carry out strong-armed tactics, during and following the coup. Fazlollah Zahedi was to prove that they had backed the right man, after all he had fallen out with Mossadegh and resigned from his post as minister of the interior, as well as having been briefly detained already, on suspicions of planning a coup of his own, by Mossadegh's orders in February 1953.Fearing imminent re-arrest, Zahedi went into hiding, with another affair, the torture death of Tehran's chief of Police, General Afshartus being blamed on him by the authorities.

Once again, massive protests broke out across the nation. Anti- and pro-monarchy protestors violently clashed in the streets, leaving almost 300 dead. Funded with money from the U.S. CIA and the British MI6, the pro-monarchy forces, led by retired army General and former Minister of Interior in Mossadegh's cabinet, Fazlollah Zahedi, gained the upper hand on 19 August 1953. The military intervened as the pro-Shah tank regiments stormed the capital and bombarded the prime minister's official residence. Mossadegh managed to flee from the mob that set in to ransack his house, and, the following day, surrendered to General Zahedi, who had meanwhile established his makeshift headquarters at the Officers' Club. A tearful Dr. Mossadegh was received, in dignity, however and placed under arrest in a comfortable apartment at the Officers' Club and transferred to a military jail shortly after.

I like how you throw out things as if I don't know them myself. what's next? are you going to say Shiite Islam is a combination of Sunni and Zoroastrian beliefs, thus making them irreconcilable with other Arab nation states? Ask an Azeri if they are persian and they will say they are a mixture of Turkic and caucasian albanians - not persian.

So in other words, you support complete isolationism on the part of America and Great Britain. Then how do you feel about Irans involvement in Iraq? Syrias involvement in Iraq and Lebanon? Irans involvement with Hamas in Gaza? Are they just well intentioned countries?

If you state (as scalitofan has already) that Iran is just protecting their interests in Iraq with their involvement than how does that differ from GB protecting their interests in Iran?

And you must have ignored the following from your reading assignment:

Inside Iran, Mossadegh's popularity was eroding as promised reforms failed to materialize, and the economy continued to suffer due to heavy British sanctions. His policy of collective farming had been a disaster, which further increased his unpopularity with the Iranian public. The Tudeh Party abandoned its alliance with Mossadegh, as did the conservative clerical factions


Everybody had abandoned Mossadegh because of his failed, strong arm, nationalized tactics. So do you not support the will of the people and instead choose to leave a tyrant in place?

"Then how do you feel about Irans involvement in Iraq?"

There is no evidence which suggests the Islamic Republican had been interfering in Iraq's affairs after 1979, at least until provoked by Saddam Hussein.

"Syrias involvement in Iraq and Lebanon?

Syria's involvement in Lebanon was a result of the Lebanese president's (Suleiman Frangieh) plea to the Assad regime to help stave off a massacre instigated by the Palestinians in 1976. After that moment, the Syrians defended Lebanon from Zionist aggression until 2005. In Iraq, Syria and Iran are defending themselves from imminent US aggression.

"GB protecting their interests in Iran?" Iran didn't belong to Great Britain, and the interests in question regard sovereignty and national security, both of which Great Britain and currently America is threatening.

"The Tudeh Party abandoned its alliance with Mossadegh, as did the conservative clerical factions"

The Tudeh party and islamists were backed by the CIA. Why don't you read THE CIA DOCUMENTS FOR YOURSELF? Find them, they are for everyone to see and read.

The United States, through encouragement and diplomacy, is helping the current govvernment of Saudia Arabia eradicate the extemist factions that want to harm that country. You may remember, that UBL has issued a fatwah against the government of Saudia Arabia.

Now, I believe the liberal left, supports diplomacy, correct? Secondly, are you inferring that the US should support a US style democracy in Saudia Arabia, which would call for an invasion and occupation? Or should we continue the channels of diplomacy? Your call on that one.

Finally, that was a very weak question. You may want to consult with your masters as to best proceed.

The most dangerous nation on earth is the USA.

The most aggressive, warmongering nation on earth is the USA.

The USA is the country that should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

Don't you know American Nazi scum think its okay to kill women and kids in a country that never was a threat?

As long as its not an American or Israeli you neocons think the rest of the human beings on this planet are fair game. You even cheer when their weapons wipe out some family.

this country in the following video ought to have nuclear weapons and NUKE the zionists which ARE CAUSING GLOBAL STRIFE AND WAFARE.

God bless Iran!!! God bless Iran!!! I'm not a muslim but if I do become religious I'm sure as hell not because a Nazi christian like bush. I prefer Islam.

A JEW IS A JEW IS A JEW.

the protocols of zions "don't exist" of course...

but the way the jews have taken over America to the letter of the protocols, its media, its financial infrastructure, etc... is there for all to see... only to be denied by jew MSM... so I guess average dummy ameriKKKan just puts it on the account of fate...

look it up...

we're fighting israel's wars...

and they destroyed our economy...

THE JEWS (SHIN-BET MOSSAD) DID 911, FUCKED AMERICA IN THE ASS, and now...

THEY GOT US BY THE BALLS, OUR ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE IN SHAMBLES...

and you?

you're so brainwashed that you're gonna call me antisemite... thus in effect asking the jews to fuck you in the ass some more, "but please, no more lubrication this time"! You're a disgrace, unworthy of Liberty.

************************

AMERICA IS RUN BY THEM,

EVENTHOUGH ITS JEW MSM AND JELLYWOOD HAS BRAINWASHED IT INTO NEVER EVEN CONSIDERING THIS POSSIBILITY...

AEI, AIPAC, ETC... WHAT'S THAT?

* WHY DO DEMOCRATS NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO?

THE JEWS. THAT'S WHO PAID THEIR CAMPAIGN, YOU, YOU MERELY VOTED.

* WHY IS bush DOING ALL THESE THINGS CONTRARY TO AMERICA'S INTERESTS? IBID.

THE JEWS.

* WHY IS THERE A SUBPRIME CRISIS?

THE JEWS. IS GREENSPAN A JEW, BERNANKE, GOLDMAN SACHS, ETC?

ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WHY IS THE NY TIMES, SUPPOSEDLY A MORE LIBERAL LEANING PAPER ALWAYS PUSHING GREATER CONFLICT WITH THEIR BIASED PROPAGANDA PIECES? (FIRST IT WAS IRAQ NOW IT'S THE SAME WITH IRAN... WITH NO PROOF, JUST INUENDO OF IRANIAN INVOLVEMENT)

THE JEWS.

* WHY IS THERE NO HOPE?

THE JEWS.

NOTHING POSITIVE WILL HAPPEN UNTIL THAT DUAL PASSPORT FIFTH COLUMN VERMIN IS ERADICATED.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S SAD KIMBERELY?

Americans paying taxes just to pay interest on loans from the chinese and the corrupt saudi royal family.

oh yeah, neocons are corporate whores and don't make the distinction between autocracy and capitalism

continue support Saudi Arabia and their madrassas which are in indonesia, north africa, pakistan, chechnya and all over the globe - they will come back to bite you.

Mark & Matt,
I must insist that the offensive poster be banned and his various posts be expunged. Common decency demands that we ostracize such blemishes from polite society.

Please, remove this horrid chancre, this carbuncle on the arse at once!

I'm begging you!

My prayer for this human stain,

May bleeding ‘roids torment you,
May corns adorn your feet,
May crabs as big as horse turds,
Crawl on your balls and eat.
And when you’re old and feeble,
And a syphilitic wreck,
May your spine fall out your asshole,
May you break your fuckin’ neck.
EVERYONE: Amen.

It's all the Jooooooos fault, right?

Bane,

I agree, banning him would be the proper thing to do. He offers nothing of relevance, lacks intelligence, completely void of any rational thought and is simply regurgitating what has been fed to him by his left wing masters.

On the other hand, it's important that we have a good barometer of the extent of the brain damage that's out there. I can't think of a better test subject.

Posted by: neocon [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 07:05 PM


neocon,
Banning him is a start, personally I'd rather he just crawl away and die a slow and painful death from suicide; but that's just me.

Test subject?

Hey, that gives me an idea ... meathooks~check / tank of rat urine~check / electrical cords~check / an autographed photo of Yasser Arafat for him to hold on to~check!

Let's get started ...

Mark and Matt,
Ban the troll immediately.

Posted by: Freedom1 [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 07:23 PM


The problem with banning the troll is he/she/it will come back under a different profile name. The only way the trolls will leave is if they are ignored. Of course, I do believe Mark/Matt should delete the trolls' offensive comments as those above.

John McCain is speaking out against Ahmadinejihad visiting Ground Zero and a NY congresswoman has asked Columbia not to invite him to speak.

Posted by: kimberly4bush [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2007 07:45 PM


Bane,

I agree. In fact when are we going to stop pussy footin around and start calling a spade a spade.

Murtha should be tried for treason
Pelosi is the worst Speaker in history
Ditto Reid
The fringe left are really hurting this country
Chavez will continue to become a real problem
Ahmendijad is maniacal
Bush needs to be more conservative
Congressional republicans need to stop pandering

Anyone care to add to the list?

I see GT Graduate is back under a new name, spouting the same old garbage.

I think it's coulterfan, guys, and I think you should cease debating her, and report the inappropriate comments to abuse@blogsforbush.com. This intellectual pygmy is getting what she wants; she's pissing you all off. Boycott now, and report the sludge-vat to the blog. Or, respond with "BR/conservativeforlive/scalitofan, did you say something?"

neocon, one more for your list:

President Bush needs to spank the drive-by media the way he spanked David Gregory today, and he needs to do it every time. He's a lame-duck, and by now, he's exhausted all efforts at trying to compromise with these loons. Screw 'em.

Speaking of Bush, isn't it funny how he continues to get what he wants vis-a-vis Iraq. All efforts by the Reid-tard's, Piglosi's, Melon-head Webb's, and Little-Dick Turbin to thwart his war effort have gone down in flames. I love it when a plan comes together...

"Can you prove, beyond a doubt that Iran has exclusively peaceful designs for the nuclear program?"

The evidence would prove the opposite. Not only is Iran engaged in "peaceful" development of nuclear power. They are also involved in the "peaceful" development of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles that would be more or less useless unless they have nuclear payloads.

Hello fellow Levinite!

Posted by: jbiccum [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 21, 2007 06:39 AM


Scalitofan...coulterfan...buy rubles... conservative for life...this sock puppet is suffering from a serious case of multiple personality disorder, and most definitely is off the meds.

His/her/it's most recent frothing at the mouth rants will no doubt require replacement of the keyboard, after the saliva shorts out the keys.

There seems to be a decided fixation on anal sex in all of these posts, along with much anger and sexual rage. Apparently this individual is frustrated by only having themselves to date. Sounds like he/she/it is only one gun purchase away from national headlines...a typical leftist.

The foul language definitely deserves that he/she/it be banned...permanently.

Posted by: jbiccum [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 22, 2007 10:10 AM


Is someone going to ban him? Or are liberals the only ones that get the boot?

BuyRubles, asking someone if they frequent gay clubs is not an offensive question. Now answer the question--do you frequent gay clubs? Have you ever pole-danced at a gay glub? Ever been in a cockpit before? Have you ever seen a grown man naked? Ever been to a Turkish prison? Do you watch a lot of gladiator movies?

Posted by: Pia Pium [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 22, 2007 10:30 AM


Saw some of the former 1979 hostages on Fox News--one woman is very certain that IminaJihad was one of the hostage-takers. This issue hasn't been resolved yet, so who knows?

All I know is that this pig is speaking at Columbia so his people can see that he is above "the great Satan..."

Posted by: Pia Pium [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 22, 2007 01:09 PM


"BuyRubles, asking someone if they frequent gay clubs is not an offensive question."

The reason I asked that is because of Glenn Greenwald, a gay Brazilian blogger who loves dance clubs and going on people's blogs and using sock puppets to spew crap and agree with himself and tell everyone how his alter ego is brilliant.

Not to worry, son; you didn't hit a nerve. How could a two-year old talking point "hit a nerve."

Come up with some new material, boy, and try harder.

Now run along, Porker; mommy wants the computer...

Posted by: Pia Pium [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 22, 2007 02:40 PM


Pia Pants,
I didn't expect to post a comment like that here without at least one righty zealot spewing bile my way. Thanks for not disappointing me.

BTW – I’m not a Donk (that did hurt). I simply choose not to walk lock step with any party. Sometimes I even agree with the President.

And I agree that to give AhmadineJihad any legitimacy at all by allowing him to speak at Columbia should be condemned.

See, we might even agree on something… but don’t get used to it.

Oh, I hear mommy calling. Got to go.

Signed,
Porker

To get back to the original post and to elaborate on what David said early in this thread;

Compare the Columbia University invite to the Iranian Hate-Filled Nutcase to the case of Larry Summer. He, as you recall made certain politically incorrect statements about women and science and had to resign from Harvard.. He was disinvited from a regents dinner at the University of California where he was going to speak as a result of a protest from some faculty members who found his views ‘repellant’. Prof. Maureen Stanton was ‘appalled and stunned’ that Summers was even invited.

So I guess we all can see the shameful irony here. Holocaust denier OK, Summers’ view that there might be innate differences between men and women , well that is too dangerous to discuss so ban him. WTF???
