Thompson Blasts Columbia University

Republican candidate Fred Thompson maintains that, if he were running the country, he would deny Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad entry into the United States.

According to UN Headquarters Agreement of 1947, the US "shall not impose any impediments to transit," obligating the US to allow representatives of UN members, or those invited on "official business," to visit the UN. However, the government may bar entry based on national security grounds, but would have to provide specific allegations for banning Ahmadinejad.

"There are exceptions to every rule. This is our home soil," Thompson asserted on Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" talk radio show Monday morning, adding, "I wouldn't mind a little controversy at the United Nations."

Ahmadinejad -- who arrived in New York Sunday -- is to speak at Columbia University Monday. Thompson criticized the school's decision, claiming it shows a "double-standard" because, he says the university does not allow ROTC on campus.

"It's supposed to be a place of diversity and controversy and things of that nature ... but they're giving rank hypocrisy a bad name," Thompson said.

LOL

Common sense applied to political correctness?

This is EXACTLY what the country needs in the next President, to stop pandering to deviates, anti-American zealots, and treasonous "un-touchable"-under-the-first-Amendment loonies.

My choice for Thompson's running mate:

He is the first African American to serve in a Maryland state-wide office and the first Republican lieutenant governor in the state since the position was created in 1970. He was, at the time, the highest-ranking elected African American Republican in the United States. On October 25, 2005, Steele announced his candidacy for the United States Senate seat being vacated by retiring senator Paul Sarbanes. On November 7, 2006, Steele lost the election to Democratic Congressman Ben Cardin. He currently appears on CNN's The Situation Room as a political pundit.

Ooo ~ harsh

‘a corn’y interpretation

My quote applies to Fred as well. Do you consider him a ‘little nut?’

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Good. He gets my vote.

Hillary won’t know what to feel or say until the poll results come in and the Republicans comment on how they feel.

Oops..sorry

Make that two nice posts!! :)

[b9]

Thank you. I see their conservative messages working in tandem, not competition.

“The mighty oak was once a little nut that held its ground.”

Yep, and the oak is among the slowest-growing of trees. Hunter better start covering the landscape like kudzu if he's going to climb out of the statistical noise.

[MrB]

That man would be attacked brutally, worse than Cheney, if he was VP...
“sellout”, etc.

[McGruff]

I like what I’m hearing from Fred. Bush would never have said that. No more compassionate conservatism!

[b9]

The quote applies to Fred, too.

He’s mighty strong, mighty right, and mighty scary to the left.

[GOYAKLA]

I own a couple of Duncan yoyos that are valuable. Worth something? Who cares?

[seekthetruth]

Astually I think “Security” should be number 1 because without it, we can’t have real “Prosperity” and “Unity”. But Fred must have it in that order for some reason so it is fine with me. :)

Wow, brilliant!!!

Now if you could just work in a “Fred’s wife dresses like a tart” meme you would met expectations...

[FlashBack]

UFC:
FREDINATOR vs IMAWHACJOB
Fred would be 'compasionate' by knocking him out with the first hit.

>>>>Note also that our friendly Hunter supporter here neglects to specify what "it" is so that anyone can actually verify her claim.<<<

"IT"

Is that clear enough?
