Feh! Those are Muslim gays! They don’t count because of the MORAL CULTURALISM … um … MULTI RELATIVISM … um … ACADEMIC MULTIFREEDOM CULTURAL DIVERSITY TROOTHINESS!
ack!
Where’s my syllabus?
BTW Jeff:
Thank you, Rocs!
Need I remind you that but for a drunken Phil fan’s inability to catch a fly ball — which duped a retarded umpire into declaring a grand slam a ground rule double — the Phils and Rockies would be tied right now?
Man. That, and the 1-9 road trip in which Fuentes blew 4 saves (a couple on balls that never even made it out of the infield) still stick in my craw. It’s the difference between respectability and having your highlights pushed to the end of Sportscenter, where the cliche talking head has to throw in an obligatory crack about a Coors Field that hasn’t existed as he imagines it for a couple years now.
Columbia U, military recruitment, and the Gays
“How bout them Roc’s”?
you know me i loves the ladies
Um, I know nothing of this so called miscalled homerun ball…..
Alright, you got jobbed.
Let’s root for the Phils to drop a big chokehold on the Mets and the Rocs to sweep the Pads and make it as a wild card. How cool would that be?
I was sitting in an airport bar with a couple of Marines this morning. The Ahmadingytard story came on and one of them remarked “And this is what I’m fighting for… This is why I drink.”
Nice job, maggots. Enjoy that enlightened feeling, won’t you?
You know, if Ahmadinejad set off a suicide bomb and blew up the speaking hall at Columbia, I’d be horrified.
I mean, I’d laugh, sure, but I’d be horrified.
Well, maybe horrified isn’t quite the right word.
I’m sure the Columbians will ask “tough” questions, and that will make it all OK.
Pablo, I may have to drink tonight…might as well, while I still can. 6 weeks and it’s dry time!!!
Oh, how we do so love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning…
Smells like truthiness…
If free speech wasn’t free it would be called expensive&dumb.
oh. here’s
a link that works. I think.
Ahmandinejad only needs to blame Bush… and all tough questions will be suspended.
The USA is one of the few countries on earth that is rich enough to pay people to sit around and devise symposiums that resonate nothing more than the echo of the latest liberal rhyme.
Watch.
Tough questions that do not allow “Bushitler” as an answer will be booed and then decried as insensitive and intolerant.
Personally I’d let some of the former hostages have at him
The whole homosexual military “reason” for getting rid of ROTC is (obviously) a sham.
More like a “style” for so called élite universities.
I’m developing a new thesis that Bollinger lets in Ahmadinejhad on Monday (he’d let in A. Hitler, too, he says) as a function of getting booed in Harlem a month ago. The man is (apparently) easily intimidated.

The idiot from Iran is responsible for stopping the free speach of several hundred American soldiers, permanetly. The nut leading the college of idiots says he would invite Hitler who was responsible for stopping the free speach of millions. Who will start a drive to force the government to stop all funding of this idiot college up to and includine recalling all government student loans and grants? I’ll sign on or send the sec of education a letter/email demanding it be stopped. Oh hell, I forgot we have a democrat/communist controlled congress in operation to destroy America. Guess we’re stuck until the revolution starts and it’s legal the kill all the left wing communist fools. Actually i’m ready for that also.
Nonononooooooo.
Inviting Ahmedinejad to speak isn’t a sin. Bollinger is correct. If ol’ Adolf were still around it would be entirely appropriate to invite him to address the student body. The University is supposed to be a place where everybody is heard. Note that “is heard” does not equal “is agreed with”.
But the University has specifically stated that one class of speech is intolerable on campus: it excludes anyone who expresses anti-homosexual sentiments. By that token they exclude ROTC and military recruiting, as well as Mr. Phelps. Inviting the President of Iran to speak defies their stated policy, rendering it ineffective — and Fred ought to sue to make the point.
The trouble is not that Ahmadinejad and Phelps are assholes. I would as soon shoot one as the other. The trouble is that Columbia either has a policy or it doesn’t — and if it doesn’t have an evenhanded policy, it’s vulnerable to accusations of censorship and/or favoritism.

Bollinger is an idiot. If he has debased the ideal of the University as a venue for the free exchange of ideas, then what he has done is to debase the ideal of the University as a venue for the free exchange of ideas. He owns this one. I gots me my free speech too, and I say he is a craven idiot providing a platform that will be used for obscene propaganda purposes.
Ok. So that was kind of impudent. I will think this over more.
You’re right, but you’re no fun, is what I’ve decided.
::heavy sigh::
You aren’t the first to make that observation, feets.
In other news, I have been kicked by a horse. Not hard, just enough to knock the wind out of me, but the area around my sternum is going to be impressively colored in the morning.
Regards,
Ric
ow. I hate it when that stuff happens and it’s not a metaphor. Take care.
Right or wrong, Columbia’s invitation to the bearded one (I’m not even going to try to spell his name this late and after this much intake of non-halal beverages) is a fantastic coup for our side of the political divide.
I mean, could any conservative ask for a better illustration of the “progressive” political rot that’s set in on the campuses of our elite universities? Never mind THE HYPOCRISY! about Iran’s official stance toward homosexuality (namely, that gays should be executed) vs. Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Forgive me for sounding heartlessly calculating when I say that’s awful, yes, but it’s not what’s going to play in Peoria.
The fact of the matter is that we’ve got a leftist-dominated institution that would rather invite a “death to America” spouting fascist to campus than military recruiters.
Any ties or contributions from Columbia figures who supported this travesty to Dem candidates for national office should be shouted from the highest mountaintops.
Let us not forget that the same Columbia U also stood back and did nothing while Jim Gilchrist, of the Minutemen, was attacked and shouted down while he attempted to give a speech at Columbia as well. Their insistence on free speech is certainly selective.
– Not usre if it helps or not, but a faor number of alumnus have already declared they will no longer support the Msrxist school of the Columbidiots, which is the best way to nail the assholes in the school administration. Yanking the Fed monies would hurt all the students, and I’m willing to bet the greater number of them think this sucks. Have to excorsize the Socilistic cancer.
Undoubtedly. It is easily said that they believe the public dollars exist for their benefit, and if not, what for? The rules have all the desired loopholes – at least from their perspective – and they feel good about themselves for being inclusive. Those who don’t get jollies from undermining the West, or the USA, or whatever their delusions want.
It’s rotting, academia. I can smell it from here. Didn’t they call that trash heap, back in the day, ‘Gehenna’?
