2007: RASHID KHALIDI “EMBARRASSED” THAT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S PRESIDENT WAS NOT NICER TO AHMADINEJAD DURING HIS VISIT

The following is an excerpt from THIS September 26 2007, New York Times article:

Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Arab studies and director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia, said, “The tone from the host of an event was uncivil and uncalled for.

“The president of the university had every right to state his differences,” he said. “That was more than acceptable. But I believe it was embarrassing to the university, frankly, that they should decide to invite him and then treat him in this manner.”

Do I need to say anymore?….

  1. Unfortunately since the LA Times will never release the tape, we’ll never get the real scoop for ourselves. What a shame on the face of journalism. Does the truth not matter anymore?

  2. It is crazy. Two years ago when Israel was at war the left was all abuzz and was spewing and adapting Neo Nazi hate speech against the Jews and Israel and siding with Hamas. Insane! I got turned on to these 3 sites by friends. Explore them if you want to try to understand the Un-Holy alliance.
    Beckwith, shows some connections on his site. He also has a good Obama File

    So dose Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch
    http://jihadwatch.org/

    And so dose Horowitz a former far left Berkley Activist now conservative

    http://frontpagemagazine.com/

    These sites are well worth exploring to understand the strange bedfellow alliance of the
    Left socialist in America with Hamas the PLO and how they pervert Neo Nazi Propaganda and reuse it for their own end.

    The Ayers/Obama/Khalidi/ACORN /ANSWER Int/American Socialist and or Communist alliances runs deep

  5. Cool Marielle
    I sent that to Will Bower in DC of PUMA of justsaynodeal

    Thanx

  6. Here’s a tape of Hulaboy apologizing for being late to FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE meetings. If he , as a member, was late that often, how much could he really know about foreign relations. Remember, he was a jr. senator and apparently doesn’t know American geography that well either.(57 states). Also, his lack of pride in the US will weaken him in the eyes of other nation’s leaders.

  7. Yes Angrynana funny Obama aint much without a teleprompter and when he is off his leach he really screws up

  8. A Pre View of Obama’s infomercial

  9. Good evening, PUMAs!

    Yes, PUMA / Just Say NO DEAL will be on “On the Record with Greta van Susteren” on FOX News tonight, at 10:55pm EST… to discuss Democrats who will NOT be voting for Barack Obama!

    We’re hoping you will tune in!

    Thank you!

    Will

  10. We need to spread more wealth , because Obamas Chicago just aint working to well

    http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6233548

    Cabrini Green Oh yeah I use to work on Chicago Ave close to Cabrini Green. Oh the stories I could tell never mind. The police would not enter Cabrini Green and that was before the days crack cocaine hit the streets of America.

  11. ChicagoBlood Says:

    Teleprompter?

  12. Concerned New Yorker Says:

    Get ready y’all. Sharia Law endorsed by Obama and pals:

  13. YouPeopleAreCrazy Says:

    You people are the craziest bunch of racist rednecks ever. You are still talking about Obama Muslim, Sharia law blah blah… LMFAO.

    And as far as this topic. Yes i agree it is absolutely tasteless to invite someone and then attack them. If the nutcase Ahmedinajad just showed up…. it’s a different story. but you do not invite someone and then attack. No class, no rhyne or reason what so ever.

    So come on go ahead. Attack me. Call me a traitor blah blah blah…. I’m ashamed to share this great country with moron, low lives like this group you have going here.

    What a bunch of retards.

  14. Concerned New Yorker Says:

    YouPeopleAreCrazy – how does it feel being an intellectual and cool person? It’s great calling anyone who actually cares about the fundamental values this country was built on by brave and committed people – a retard.

    Obama is preaching a vision which is different from that of most Americans. Many other dictators have done so with effective propaganda – Castro, Chavez, Putin as well as a moustached guy over 60 years ago.

    And yes, you are a traitor.

  15. I so totally agree with concerned New Yorker…..these selfish morons who think they are so “intellectual’….the world has always had these people, that is how the other idiots “preaching a vision” even have an audience and a following…they do not see that they are just being used for their vote and their $$$$….and yes they are traitors….TRAITORS…..

  16. ChicagoBlood Says:

    YouPeopleAreCrazy,

    “And as far as this topic. Yes i agree it is absolutely tasteless to invite someone and then attack them. If the nutcase Ahmedinajad just showed up…. it’s a different story. but you do not invite someone and then attack”.

    Well said, even thug totalitarian dictators need an advocate.

    It doesn’t matter if he (Ahmedinajad) “was invited” or not. He has incredibly psychotic worldviews which, for healthy reasons (in regards to dissenters or critics) aren’t challenged much back in Iran.

    The invitation to come speak in America was the gauntlet thrown down to Ahmenidajad, I kinda see it like this:

    ” “President” Ahmenidajad,

    Come speak your worldview in America, away from the bubble protection of your police state thugs back in your homeland. Let’s see what you’re made of when you have to vigorously defend your worldview from direct and strident challenges. Let’s see how well your ideas stand up to scrutiny here in America, where you don’t have the thug power to shut your critics up.

    Not to say you won’t have your supporters or appeasers and they are free to be as so but here, in America, you WILL be challenged.

    This is America.”

    Anything wrong with that take? Just curious and please don’t give me anything about attempting a dialogue with this guy, he is a committed nutjob.

    It was a good and healthy exercise to publicly fry this guy. He doesn’t get any challenges or confrontation like this in Iran because any dissent or criticism would be met with swift and brutal suppression.

    Try being an Iranian citizen back in his homeland and give him the kind of treatment you feel is so unfair here.

    You would either be imprisoned or hung.

    “No class, no rhyne or reason what so ever”.

    LMAO.

    Class? With this guy? Who openly advocates genocide (wiping Israel off the map) and denies the Holocaust?

    No rhyme or reason?

    All he had to do is speak is quacky worldview and this is rhyme and reason enough. Unless of course you support his views on Israel in which case you would have precious little room to call anyone a “racist redneck” (which is a tired, predictable and intellectually empty response to ANYONE who voices opposition to the candidacy of “The ONE”).

    All this makes me wonder:

    Would you be as hospitable to Hitler as you are to Ahmedinajad?

    In closing, I won’t martyr you by calling you a traitor…

    This is America, you are free to live with your head stuck up your cavity as you see fit.

  17. hey, guys…they don’t CARE if there was/is a formal “invitation”….they will fly planes through buildings and blow things up ANYWAY…just a reminder…..but I did LOVE the way Ahmedinajad stated that they don’t have “this phenomenon” in his country, referring to homosexualism…as they laugh at US
