Columbia welcomes Ahmadinejad, shuns Minuteman

By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com

According to Fox, “Critics wonder why the leader of a nation that exports terrorism is allowed to speak [at Columbia], but the leader of an American organization that seeks to secure U.S. borders was not.” Count me as a critic. When Minuteman founder and president Jim Gilchrist tried to speak at Columbia last year, “his speech was thwarted when students and other opponents stormed the stage as he took the podium.” No doubt that Iranian President Ahmadinejad will be welcomed courteously at Columbia, even though he’s called the Holocaust a “myth” and advocated that Israel be “wiped off the map.” Columbia allowed a riot to stifle Gilchrist’s free speech — in academia. Fair and balanced? visit to watch and read about the “Minutemen Insanity at Columbia” last year.
