Anyone watching the human rat?

The intro was classic though.
Columbia University president slams Ahmadinejad
Story Highlights
Lee Bollinger cited leader's "brutal crackdown" on dissidents Monday
Bollinger's comments came before Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at school
Bollinger called Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust "ridiculous"
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Columbia University president Lee Bollinger took Iran's president to task Monday, bluntly criticizing his record and saying he exhibits "all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator."
Bollinger's assessment came as he introduced Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to an audience of students and faculty.
As he read a long list of documented actions and remarks by the firebrand Iranian leader and his government, the crowd of 600 applauded.
Ahmadinejad was at the university to give a speech and take part in a question-and-answer session.
During the introduction, Bollinger cited the Iranian government's "brutal crackdown" on dissidents, public executions, executions of minors and other actions.

"For the illiterate and ignorant, this is dangerous propaganda," he said. He called the Iranian leader "either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated."
"The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history," he said.
"Will you cease this outrage?" he demanded.
Bollinger said he doubted Ahmadinejad would show the intellectual courage to answer questions posed to him.
Ahmadinejad opened his remarks by saying Bollinger's introduction was discourteous, intellectually dishonest and inaccurate.
He said academic freedom should prohibit the "vaccination" of the audience with negative comments about a guest speaker and his ideas.
"I think the text read by the dear gentleman here, more than addressing me, was an insult to information and the knowledge of the audience here, present here," Ahmadinejad said through a translator.
"In a university environment we must allow people to speak their mind, to allow everyone to talk so that the truth is eventually revealed by all," he said.
During his introductory remarks, Bollinger said Columbia would offer a faculty position to Kian Tajbakhsh, an Iranian-American social scientist who was released last week after having been held in Iran since May.
Tajbakhsh, a Columbia graduate, will be offered a position as visiting professor of urban planning as soon as Iran lets him leave the country, he said.
Bollinger asked Ahmadinejad to allow Tajbakhsh to lead a university delegation to address collegiate audiences in Iran on the subject of freedom of speech.
During a question-and-answer period after his remarks, Ahmadinejad invited Columbia students to visit Iran and promised to provide a list of universities for them. The audience applauded.
"I am only a professor who is also a university president, and today I feel the weight of all the civilized world yearning to express the revulsion at what you stand for," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad. "I only wish I could do better."
After the session, Bollinger said Ahmadinejad left without properly answering many of the questions that were posed to him.

I saw the rat and the rats of Columbia. The MSM had a good point this afternoon... why didn't they treat Ahmadinejad with the same welcome they gave Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, when dozens of students charged the stage as he spoke at Columbia?
Why the **** did they clap for him? To show him respect as a world leader? ****ing pussies at Columbia, even the strong Republican student body there. Be the Holocaust denying President of a terrorist nation with little women's rights and direct links to the current war in Iraq = Golf Clap. Be the leader of a grassroots group trying to stop the real problem of immigration that needs to be addressed = Free for all.
I'm convinced as to why they did clap as opposed to boo him off the stage. If they were concerned about the SS and security then simply do not advance the stage. I think intellectuals such as these students and faculty think they can change people in the same sense an abused girl thinks she can change an abusive, ******* lover. The worse you are the more you need fixing. Problem is some people cannot be understood and just need to die. End of story.

We should have taken him to Benning to watch some "Rangers in Action" or Bragg to watch some 82nd and SF kicking doors in. Let him know we've got thousands of corn-fed country boy Americans that'd like nothing better than to kick in the door of some Iranian Gaurd and get to work.
