Ahmadinejad Has No Functioning, Rational Mind

Tailrank has compiled quite an assortment of blogposts about Ahmadinejad being condemned by the host of Columbia University's forum yesterday.

Columbia president said Ahmadinejad acts like a ‘petty and cruel dictator’

Ahmadinejad doesn't just act like a 'petty and cruel dictator,' he most definitely is a petty and cruel dictator!!

Norm's View has some good points:

Do you think this jerk understood the reality of what Lee Bollinger said? I doubt it. To understand this you must have a functioning rational mind that is completely open to truth. This Ahmadinejad does not have.

He held a forum a while back with Holocaust deniers. What kind of an ignorant jerk tries to deny or change the most documented mass murder in history?

And he wants nuclear weapons? And says that Israel should just disappear.

He said in his speech today that his people and countrymen are misunderstood.

Bollinger's statements were not about the Iranian people or country. He directed his comments at and about Ahmadinejad.

Take responsibility yourself Ahmadinejad. You are the reason that your country is going downhill.

I guess that's whats good about being a butcherous dictator, you don't have to worry about anybody voting you out, because you are a murderous monster, who actually executes some children along with innocent adults every year for nothing more than differing opinions.

Ahmadinejad said there are no homosexuals in his country, and the audience burst out laughing.

I say put the stupid jerk in a rowboat and let him row back to Iran. Make sure it has a slow leak.

Am I wrong? I don't think so.

Free speech for people like him should be rethought.

This is Norm's view.

So, Ahmadinejad is not only a "holocaust denier," he's apparently also a "homosexual denier."

This didn't sit well with the audience. It was the only time that the most "boos" were heard. However, the homosexual denying comment generated a lot of laughter.

Some news reporters are even trying to put a bit of a spin on the "there are no homosexuals in Iran" comment by stating "there aren't many homosexuals in Iran."

After everyone stopped laughing, do you think they realized that the reason might be because when found out, they are systematically executed?

If anyone was truly brave on that panel, such a follow-up question would have been quite sobering and sad.

But I'm-in-a-jihad would have lied his way out of answering that question, too.

It's amazing to me that an American University would invite a brutal dictator to speak. All the monster did was lie!!

I went to the link above which cites the fact that the Iranian government executes people not only for real crimes, but also for any perceived morality violations.

Iran: Two More Executions for Homosexual Conduct

“These abuses have created an atmosphere of terror for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people throughout Iran,” said Stern. “But arrest, torture and execution are not limited to gays and lesbians. Any group of people deemed ‘immoral’ becomes subject to state-sanctioned persecution and even murder.”

In Iran, executions and lashings are regular means of punishment for a broad range of crimes, not merely same-sex acts. Judges often accept coerced confessions, and security officials routinely deny defendants access to counsel. Late last year, the Iranian judiciary, which has been at the center of many reported human rights violations, formed the Special Protection Division, a new institution that empowers volunteers to police moral crimes in neighborhoods, mosques, offices and any place where people gather. The Special Protection Division is an intrusive mechanism of surveillance that promotes prosecution of citizens for behavior in their private domain.

LGF: Columbia's Squalid Mistake

Excerpt:

And Columbia’s event, like the 1933 Oxford resolution, sent (to quote Churchill again) a “very disquieting and disgusting message” to friends and enemies alike.

Many American’s won’t see that; their blindness goes to the heart of the “red-blue” divide in our country - much like the one in ‘30s Britain that split men like Churchill from the exponents of appeasing Europe’s dictators.

Yep...
