Columbia University Students to Dine With Ahmadinejad in New York
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, September 12, 2011, 11:02 PM
Columbia University students will dine with Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he comes to New York next week, it was announced today.
FOX News reported:
A group of Columbia University students is expected to attend an upcoming private dinner with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who will be in New York City in September for the United Nations General Assembly, The Columbia Spectator reported.
Fifteen members of the Columbia International Relations Council and Association (CIRCA) were invited to the Sept. 21 event in Manhattan, the newspaper said. The students will dine and speak with Ahmadinejad and Columbia President Lee Bollinger, who introduced the Iranian leader as “a petty and cruel dictator” when he spoke on campus in 2007.
At the same 2007 event, Ahmadinejad lambasted Bollinger for what he called the “insults” and “unfriendly treatment” he endured from his host.
CIRCA Vice President Tim Chan said so far he has not heard any concerns from the group about the upcoming dinner, the Spectator reported. “Everyone was really enthusiastic,” he said.

In 1938 the same students would have been happy to dine with Hitler or Little Benito.
Nothing changes.
FurryGuy commented:
Or Mao or Lenin or Stalin. They’d have been first in line to dine with Fidel, Pol Pot.
Dining with a murderous dictator just makes a nice sauce for a wonderful meal for Progressives.

What the hell has happened to Columbia? I had an Iranian calculus professor from there who couldn’t stop badhing this country. Needless to say I got in his face a few times, he was such a Marxist ass I had to call the FBI on him.
Little David Puddy commented:
Didn’t Obama go to Columbia?
Or did he?
exceller commented:
I will never understand why we allow people like him in this country. The UN is nothing but scumbags and leeches. I would send them packing.
Tjexcite commented:
That picture is to scale. In power that the Ayatollah has to the puppet as President. Even the dead Ayatollah as more power than the president.
Mad Hatter commented:
“Columbia University students will dine with Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he comes to New York next week, it was announced today.”
100 to 1 says they’re these radicalized students with an anti corporate/banking attitude, along with the “free Palestine” and “social justice” agenda.

…The Columbia Journalism Review, which bills itself as “a watchdog and a friend of the press in all its forms,” lists several investigative reporting projects funded by one of Soros foundations….
…The Columbia School of Journalism, which operates CJR, has received at least $600,000 from Soros, as well….

Nothing new – read Wikipedia about Bollinger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Bollinger. Ahmadinejad visited in 2007 invited by Bollinger himself in the name of academic freedom. Both Obama and Hillary critisized the visit as they were Presidential candidates. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say about the coming visit.

Let’s pray for an isolated outbreak of botulism! Pass the ptomaine, please!

I bet ron paul will be there too
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
So are they going to confront the petty and cruel dictator, or are they going to try to curry favor with him?
Stay tuned.
jony101 commented:
I thought we didn’t let terrorists to come into the country, never mind….we got a bunch of buffoons running the government. To the government the teaparty is a bigger threat than Iranians or the peaceful muslims.
Buffalobob commented:
Let us hope these students are invited to hike along the Iranian boarder.
elhrac commented:
It makes me sick to think that I am on the same continent as this evil midget.
TXconservativeguy commented:
Why do we even allow people like this in the US? I guess it is no different than allowing any muslim or obama in America as well. Illegal uncles and aunts. Really? A terrorist that hates America.

Elitist losers. NO conscience, no morals, no understanding of their own Countries greatness.
These CHILDREN. Are SPECIAL.
How pathetic.
VOMIT.

Jimmy (2nd worst President in American history) Carter is just wetting his Depends hoping for an invite.
This pig should not be allowed to put a foot on our soil. What became of the investigation into his role in the embassy hostage crisis?
big L commented:
this can’t turn out well. What about women’s rights,Comumbistas? and Gay rights that you all
l-o-o-ve so? You students are the first ones killed by this regime, dummies. Your professors are taking notes to see how to handle the brainwashing, you can bet on it. Patsies
Fuquay Steve commented:
Goes against all logical and rational thought – welcome to the fulfillment of the leftists dreams- embracing a totalitarian and barbarian.
BigAlSouth commented:
These punks at Columbia will not confront The Persian regarding Iranians policies toward women, gays and Sharia Law. “Let’s not insult our guest, shall we?”
Fact: If you are gay and living in Iran, you are in big trouble.
WTFPRESIDENT commented:
These same punks would never have dinner with a teaparty person because they think the teaparty is extreme….Do they realize that this jack wagon is praying for the end of the world to bring in the Mahdi??? Do they realize how much he hates the USA?????
What is wrong with these STUPID Colombia kids??? Thank God my kid doesn’t go there.
HenryD commented:
Just so long as they are identified for future reference (terrorist watch list)…enjoy your meal.
BurmaShave commented:
Inquiring minds want to know:
Is attending the dinner with Ahmadinejad required, or simply good for extra credit, for Columbia’s most popular course: Hating America 101?
Hating America 101 is part of Columbia University’s four year series that goes up to Hating America 402, about which “everyone was really enthusiastic.”
L. E. Liesner commented:
If we had the sense to throw the UN out of our country, we wouldn’t have put up with this petty despot on our soil. Then if these students wanted to dine with this clown they could go to Iran.
KC commented:
Inbreeding?
Jerry commented:
Bollinger should be put into an orange jump suit for this despicable dinner.
tommy mc donnell commented:
college students; america’s future! don’t forget to sacrifice for them.
JudithNYC commented:
Thanks Columbia for sullying the degree I was once proud of. Suppose the students will toast to Ahmadenijad’s usual refrain “Death to America” as they break bread with a monster who suppresses the very freedoms these privileged brats enjoy…don’t think the Iranian students sitting in torture chambers will think these Columbia students are very courageous. For shame.
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
If Columbia was smart, they would include a gay man and his partner, a lesbian woman and her partner, a jew, a catholic, a baptist, a lutheran, a methodist, a muslim, a buddhist, an episcopalian, a scientologist, an atheist, etc… Let him know that we, as Americans, can come together and live peacefully. There is debate in this country about gay marriage. Ask the Iranian dinner jacket, what side of that debate he falls on? He most likely will say that in his country there is no debate. It’s the regime’s way or death. Ask the dinner jacket how many gays they have executed over the past few years? The number is staggering! The GLBT community should be up and arms about this dinner. I hope all people come together to let this creep know what we think of the Iranian regime stifling the freedoms of his people.

Exhibit #593 why the Western elite sucks.
This same university ran the Minuteman guy off of a stage without apology, but will graciously host a murderous freak who pledges Holocaust 2.0.

A message to all of the culinary staff at Columbia:
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Someone, anyone, piss in their soup.
Stuart commented:
All we are saying…. Is give piss a chance.
Melissa Indelicato commented:
This is the same college that had the Minutemen speaking engagement…students stormed the stage in rage. They’d rather have speaches and lunch with a guy who states there are no gays in Iran (because they are killed) and invites David Duke to a Holocaust denial conference….what are they learning?
Bahar commented:
Guys, I am an Iranian and we still do not believe his as our president! I don’t know why US lets him to have a free tribune to talk to people around the world and tell his lies. He is one of the responsible people for killing and torturing Iranian people including Iranian students and specifically them. I hope at least US students who want to dine with him study about Iran’s conditions before and know how to handle his lies and not to believe them.

ARZHANG commented:
Ahmdinejad famous for FETNEH tell Iranian people that the government of Iran does not recognize Israel, This is a big lie because officially they have to recognize Israel as member of UN. I wish one of the student ask him did Iranian government officially asked UN that they do not recognize Israel if not why to lie to Iranian?
ARZHANG commented:
Stupid Hugo Chavez fooled Ahmdinejad how to use microphone in UN saying in that microphone you are free to say what ever your heart desire aah look at me I go there say George Bush is a Devil. Chaves did not showed up at UN after that famous speech probably sitting home watching Ahmdinejad acting like monkey at UN and laughing to him and $7,000,000,000 dollars money Ahmdinejad gave to him for letting Iranian Passdaran use Caracas airport
Rose commented:
It’s an act of pure Treason.
saveus commented:
this is supposed to be one of the best schools in the US and this nasty, evil SOB has yet another close encounter wiht it?
what is wrong with these leftist fools?
have they no decency?
Matt commented:
I’ll probably be called an apologist – but I’ll break this long string of judgments. If you guys took the time, you’d notice that when Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at Columbia a couple years ago – the University President pulled no punches and basically called him a barbarian and a ruthless dictator. The student population laughed Ahmadinejad off the stage when he claimed that there were no gays in Iran.
The videos are on Youtube if you really want to see. Ahmadinejad was NOT given an easy time. There’s no reason to think this dinner will be any different; these are international affairs students and they’re going to want some answers to tough questions.
Letting someone speak is democratic, and it’s what we do in America. Censoring opinions is what they do in Iran. You don’t have to agree with me – but I happen to keep these things in mind when I form the opinion that our country is much, much better than theirs.
ARZHANG commented:
Ahmdinejad refuses to sit with Iranian reporter living in US but has no problem sitting with American because Iranian know Iranian, for example when someone lying, when they are not, when they are been fooled, when they are not but fooling American is a piece cake for any Iranian, now imagine Ahmdinejad who is famous as a fetenhger meaning a little devil and master of lie. Not many people can twist their tong to lie better than Ahmdinejad you have to be an Iranian to know that.
jojo commented:
I disagree with all of the previous writers. Columbia studens are adults and they have the right to talk to any one they wish. Imagine what a country we would become if we had to take a vote -to find out to whom we can talk to.
Ahmadnejad is the president of a country of 80 million people -with the 3rd oil suppoly in the word. Intelligent students should be able tp ask him questions related to the US and the globe.
We should not think that to be American is to agree with the tea party politcians who are trying to bring back Bush’s tax break for the rich or with his VP that we shoud nuk whoever is against us. Leave Columbia students to do whateve they wish -they are adults.

Muslims, specifically so called academics with education from wahhaby school for muslim dummies, converted used to be respectable Columbia University into American islamofascist hub. All this muslim academic punks, who are genetic fascists and pathological liars, shall be expelled from Columbia and US forever and for good.
