“As one who studied at Columbia University, I am both embarrassed and ashamed of that fact today.”
I have a question to those who call themselves Jews. You see, the Christians and the Conservatives within the US have always backed the state of Israel and we generally tend to view favorably the Jewish faith which we see closely tied to our own. Yet why does the majority of Jews vote Democrat? Why are there so many little Barbara Streisand’s running around backing a party of Clinton, Carter........ It seems a little paradoxical to me.
Then order your secretary of state to tell AhmaNutJob that he may not be anywhere but the airport, his hotel and the UN building and that he must go directly from one to the other.
The man is not a citizen, nor even really a legal visitor in the normal sense. We do not even have diplomatic relations with the country he is the a leader of. (Remember the Ayatollah is the real leader). We have no obligation to let the man speak or appear in our country.
There is a distinction between free speech and yelling that there is a fire in a theater. There is a distinction between yelling that there is a fire in a theater and bombing the theater!
Bush should do what JFK did when Castro visited in 1963.
Restrict the terrorist to the airport, the hotel and the UN.
Anything more than that will have the US aiding and abetting a State department listed terrorist.

There are conservative and liberal Jews as there are conservative and liberal Christians, Muslims etc. Orthodox Jews are mostly conservative and many voted Republican in the last presidential election.
Thank God we live in a country where we have the freedom to practice the religion of our choice... including conservative or liberal versions of it.
Ahmadinejad is an arsonist of the most heinous and dangerous order.
I don’t have any problem at all with the invitation - provided that Columbia abolishes its speech code and invites David Duke to present the next lecture. The university president just said it’s all about hearing different ideas didn’t he?
This is beyond the pale. I thought Brown was radically left, but Columbia takes the cake for this one with Ahmadjadine and Hitler.
What does the LEFT think will be accomplished by giving Ahmadinejad a forum? That he will change and we can all have a Cumbiya moment? Have they forgot that “The Medium is the Message”
Columbia is securing headlines. Cashing in on a global PR marketing event at the expense of every Israeli, every US soldier based in Iraq, every living person and all those who have perished defending democracy from Islamic terrorism.
The wicked little Haman runt speaking at Columbia is just plain and simple incitment, like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater when there isn’t a fire. That any US institution would even think of having such trash come to speak, that the US would even let such trash into the country to speak and the U-bloddy-effing-N, is beyond all standards of decency. May this nasty little runt meet the same fate as the biblical Haman.
We all should be aware that the rants of the Iranian thug looks suspiciously like the DNC, Moveon, Kosite and Pelosi, Murtha, Durbin, Clinton, Obama talking points. I wonder if the lazy GOP will point that out to people!?
Absolutely. But, remember, college students do not remember history and neither do many Dem voters. The GOP has to remind them of this over and again. Instead of spending money on generalized items, the ads should be specific on statements by the Dems on the war, Islamofascism, Iran, defeatism, raising taxes on both the middle class and the rich, and changing the courts to pure liberal brainwashing jurists. The Pubs need to rally the BASE and others who do not want a nation of socialism pacificism.
Probably because Republicans haven't always backed the state of Israel or felt warmly about American Jews.
Witness GHWB's drop from 35% of the Jewish vote in 1988 to 11% in 1992. "*uck the Jews, they don't vote for us anyway" struck a cord.
Same on the other side, Carter said virtually the same thing, and dropped from 71% in 1976 to 45% in 1980.
The idea that all Christians like Jews, and all Christians are Republicans is just silly.
