Part 1 : President Ahmadinejad at Columbia University

[xdroon3]

typical fucking jew slave talking

[senorfielseguidor]

Im sorry but @5:00 what the fuck? Naaiiivatay? LOL! 

[NARUTOwushuLOVER]

why the hell invite him if he doesn't have the guts to assume his act.and beleive ahmadenjad may present vary abvious counter arguments as on the sentence about erasing the state of israel with has been taken out of contest but he doesn't even bother to he doesn t care for the approbation of the us government or people on an other there indeed many points subject to debate in iran

[GamerDudester]

What a fucking joke.

[Nihilanth1982]

president of columbia university and he acts like a potty mouth child. wow. you've cheapened the image of the university and the american education system with such a disgusting speech. i expected better professional conduct of someone of his calibre. what a stupid prick.

[farz1313]

@umhalil Right, once again. I don't doubt it. He either received some sort of 'reward' or Columbia may have received a generous 'donation' due to his rant. Either that, or the immense amount of pressure and media scrutiny that followed his invitation to Amenenejad forced him to counter it. In this case, it resulted in him insulting an invited guest.

[farz1313]

@umhalil Absolutely, or at least taught a lesson in how a man of his stature should behave when he has an INVITED guest.

[DrPepperBeatsCoke]

The Columbian President is dumb, he made the Iranian President look like a good guy (which he isn't). You don't go up to the US President and call him an asshole to his face.

[David4683]

@DrPepperBeatsCoke Is he bad because he fights for his people? Is he bad because he is against Zionism? Is he bad because he is against a state that displaced thousands of people?

[calskanbey]

I thınk the president Lee Bollinger is an idiot, he is acting like bellydancer to make audiences happy, stupid

[farz1313]

Bollinger lacks proper etiquette. You don't invite the president of another nation and then begin by berating him with insults. Ridiculous! Have some class! Would he dare say such things to George W. Bush?

[mern00bie]

@farz1313 george bush isnt as retarded as ahmadinejad you stupid radical fuck

[farz1313]

@mern00bie Isn't he? Do some research. Radical? Grow up. I'm talking about proper etiquette not personal judgments.

Bollinger was heavily criticized by many for his comments

[farz1313]

@joeyayoub Great point

[MrSociolimoges]

Even the podium of Ahmadinejad look like the podium of "the great dictator" of charlie chaplin movie. The mise-en-scène is very interesting, the low lights, that black color, the form of the podium. Compare this conference with the conf of president Sarkozy to understand the difference.

[MrSociolimoges]

Quelle honte! Malgré la prise de position de Ahmadinejad, le discours du président de l'université est vraiment mal placé et montre un manque de respect envers l'invité. Si ce n'était que pour le dénigrer, pourquoi l'ont-il alors invité? Même la mise-en-scène, le podium du président iranien, on dirait le podium d'un dictateur, comparez le avec le podium du président francais.

bon voila.

[123amilia]

Iran does not want this is that stupid president please undurstand its noi iran it is the president plus he was not elecded for president but he did not lisine to iran during strike!

[GreatGrumbledook]

Has anyone ever told this Persian that he is a giggling imbecile?

[am1966ath]

very weird that a country(Iran) that takes embassy staff as hostage, disrespects conventions that governs the relations between states, should be allowed to have conferences on rasism and be allowed to come to the US.

[telecalcu]

Wow, americans are such assholes, they literally tried to insult Iran and her Leader. this really is an eye opener for us to the mentality of americans, maybe its not as bad as trying to instigate a revolution in the country. if most americans are like that asshole then america is truly an evil country.

[fabiobraga]

Some commentators forget two simple things:

1) Columbia is an University, not the US Government;

2) Professor Lee did not personally attack anyone. He pointed out facts and ideas, in the best American tradition of freedom of speech and of thought.

(By the way I am Brazilian and some of these commentators should read the American Declaration of Independence for some nice words on rights and enlightenment)

[farz1313]

@fabiobraga Facts? Everything he said was factual? Watch it again my friend and you'll see that the majority of his facts were opinion, fictional.

Finally, let me point out the matter at hand isn't about the validity of Lee's comments but about the manner in which he went about to express them. Once again, you don't invite a guest, especially the president of a nation, and then insult him. Its not only impractical but undignified.

[fabiobraga]

@farz1313 Yes, facts. There are no doubts that every single word out of Mr. Bollinger's mouth are an expression of what is called 'western values', among them democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of thought & finally, my favourite, the pursuit of happiness.

Why do you think it was disrespectful?? Free speech involves being open to critical thinking and reasoning.

Finally, as food for thought, I ask: would it be possible for this event to happen anywhere in the Middle East (aside of Israel)?

[maurodelta32]

Unacceptable the support that the demagogue president Lula, of Brazil, grants to this dictator. By the way: like he does with Chaves and Castro

[Zampan0]

I just love how college presidents think they deserve respect in the same way it was deserved before 1970. lol. This guy's a coward and a joke. Most of them are.

[elmi59]

President Bollinger you words and actions are deplorable and completely out of line when speaking to a head of another nation. Completely unacceptable to use those type of words to indirectly insult the president of Iran who is a guest in your country. Whatever Iran has done the US has done 1000% + worse to the world. Remember that.

[FnHilarious101]

I am not entirely sure if Ahmadinejad is telling the whole truth here. Hitler gave good speeches too you know.

[telecalcu]

@FnHilarious101

So does Obama.

[alllife14]

Every wise person in the world can easily accept his sayings.

people who can't agree with him are 2 groups: those who have an impure and black haert and those who haven't seen (or heard) him. because he speaks according to Islam.

[YOUBRITNEY]

i've an impure and black heart, am i free to have it?

[evilmoneysystem]

I am ashamed. billinger is a disgrace to America and humanity. To dare trying to manipulate what we will hear, is a insult to our intelligence. Another example of how we are deprive of our right to unbiased true information. To see this happening in a U seating, just show how we are manipulated, deceived by a few power freak, that took over our country's in the 1930s, went they created the federal reserve. Wake up America

[upheaver]

I'm amazed how many people wear Jewish caps in the auditorium. US is the real Holy Land for Jews, not Israel. And since the US is so hospitable to people from other nationalities, why wasn't the new Jewish state instituted peacefully in America instead altering the map of the world in 20th century and thus creating unavoidable conflicts. You used to be better than the soviets and people believed in you, but each year you become worse and worse, as well as dragging other countries in your s**t.

[YouKnowIAmRight]

Ignorant Zionist Jew pig Bollinger cant even be polite for one moment and used this event to spew out the hate and intolerance Jews have for others. He even accused him of not answering questions before he'd even started. Bollinger you are a ignorant intolerant half witted kike

[polidic]

And according to amnesty international 780,000 innocent civilians were murdered in Iraq. The lancet has that number upward of 1.2 million. And he's got the balls to talk about another country committing crimes? I'm tired of hearing this patriotic Nazi rhetoric. Bollinger is a Zionist douche.

[YouKnowIAmRight]

Yes but thats OK! only the Yanks feel pain and mourn the dead. What a screwed up world this is. Incidently I dont hate all Jews just the white Russian Ashkanzi Khazarian none semitic peasants passing themselves off as the Jews of the Bible. They have as much right to rule in Palestine as a china man....NONE

[LaPastaIeria]

IKnowYouAreWrong

Khazar theory is an outdated fictional idea for controlling weak-minded judeophobes

The main idea is that the Jews, racially, are a mongrel community, most of them being not Semites, but of Khazar and European origin." Yehoshafat Harkabi, "Contemporary Arab Anti-Semitism: its Causes and Roots", in Helen Fein, The Persisting Question: Sociological Perspectives and Social Contexts of Modern Antisemitism, Walter de Gruyter, 1987, ISBN 311010170X, p. 424.

[leobiored]

wow this lee guy is a hatter , but is he right?

[Michael7477]

I am amazed at the disrespectfull way Dr Ahmadinejad is being received - but since we are dealing with the US here I'm not really surprised. The hypocracy of the US stinks to high heaven. We can take comfort in the fact that america has reached its zenith of power and will rapidly decline in economic, military, political and cultural influence from now on. How many have been killed due to US policy over the last 100 years and how many have been killed by Irans policies in the last 100 years?

[jofo817]

total set-up. With all the supposed Terrorism going on, why on earth would Lee Bollinger be thinking to ask him to he US.

"civility and restraint" tell that to the victims of 911 you douche

[polidic]

You can thank Bush and Cheney for 9/11

[QodsForce]

stupid impolite american bastards

[tom48870]

for real, bollinger fucked him really bad. Ahmani... is nothin but a sad mf.

[QodsForce]

FUCK bollinger

[allthismovie]

NUKE THAT SATAN COUNTRY IRAN !!

[ali921812]

[allthismovie]

Can but they cant do anything lol

And remember more and more people hate muslims now days.

Soon it will explode and YOU will stand in line of dead.

[ali921812]

(i dont know why i say u when im refering to america because i live their two but the point still stands)

[telecalcu]

@allthismovie

You speak like a true american, this was exactly what that american asshole Bollinger was trying to say, but he tried to "restrain" him self.

[avargas2001]

don't waste your time watching part 1 or 2 the host doesn't know what the F@&K he is talking about, thanks for posting it anyways, helps to shed some light on why americans are soo hated for their ignorance.

[KavehAhangarIrani]

avargas2001; sorry I clicked on the wrong hand! I wanted to thumb-up for your comment but clicked on the thumb-down by mistake!

PS: Lee Bollinger actually made a lot of ennemies for the USA thru out the world, me included.

[jwong878786]

Bollinger is a coward playing to the field. The Bard himself would have been proud of him!

[DinoCorleone]

Maturity, Civility!!! Where was yours Bollinger!!! You invite the president of a country to your forum and disrespect him like that, even before he starts! That was definitely an own goal!!!

[ali921812]

look it is America we are talking about here we havent seen any smart people here since 1776

who are our cultural inspirations

Britney Spears? Lil Wayne?

or George Bush?

[jimiydoorshamelech]

we want the truth about gays president ahmad

a b Iran's gay plan, Matthew Hays, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, August 26, 2008; accessed September 20, 2008.

The head of Iran's main transsexual organization, Maryam Khatoon Molkara-who convinced Khomeini to issue the fatwa on transsexuality-confirmed that some people who undergo operations are gay rather than transsexual.[3] Only Thailand performs more sex change operations than Iran.[3]

[polidic]

So is Teddy Kennedy ..and don't forget about the 14 or so politicians in this country arrested for kiddie porn and pedophilia. I believe we are also at the top of the list for transgender surgery. Not only that be we are the only country that puts them on tv for game shows and has magazines and national news letters promoting it. Isis, 22, is "America's Next Top Model's" first transgender contestant.

[channa1974]

Bollinger was spot on and said it like it was. Since the press isn't going to call Iran what it is and the UN is impotent in doing the same I applaud Bollinger for taking a stand against Ahmadinejad in person. Iran is quickly developing into a nuclear nation run by a cadre of cruel, Islamist and radical group of hate-filled violent men. This is dangerous and hospitality has no place in standing up to tyranny.

[Superboy316KING]

how do you invite somebody to speak at your forum and insult them when they accept your invitation.

If you hate him so much then why invite him in the first place. He should've should him the courtesy of a host. It doesn't even matter because the whole backfired on him as ahmadinejad conducted himself professionally.

[Takanaka001]

I like how the reporter says zad at the start. learn too read please

[Zealloiene]

stupid president...

how can he talk like that to a guess?

even though he know that the guest is a president?

how impolite!

[hazardasd]

"American Idea of Free Speech"?

Democracies existed in Rome and Greece centuries before America.

[hazardasd]

Even if i may not agree with everything that goes on in Iran, you have to admire the confidence and courage the man has in his views.

Would any American president do the same thing in an Iranian University?

[rencrow]

You're the moron here. I can't believe you dont find it oddly disturbing that a president of a high ranking institute of learning begins his introduction to a speech by degrading the hell out of an INVITED speaker no matter who he/she happens to be. It's called basic etiquette and courtesy you idiot, something you obviously dont favor much for. You are a fine example of proving that ignorance does indeed go hand in hand with arrogance.

[peace1926]

rencrow, well said. thankyou!

his comment will be dilligently deleted after 48 hours for using profanity- something that his kind retort to when they are unable to indulge in meaningful dialogue.

[badadditude]

How dare a white man speak in such a manner when his skin is dirty as sin of the blood of billions of people that have been slaughtered and remain continually oppressed by his inability to stop his own democratic government from committing atrocities. Your country does not have the moral superiority, one just needs to know the history of the country you live in, America.

The Holocaust was in the past, the occupation of Palestinian land is NOW.

[persiangangster]

I AM WITH YOU SCREW THE THUMBS DOWN!!!

[zionismisfilth]

Yeah well i would rather have my head cut off then being electro-fried and being told that its more human then having my head cut off !

Mind ur own business, what is it to u if others live in "theocracies and autocracies" its none of ur business u little piece of shit.

This video is a perfect demonstration of how barbaric ur culture is. When the "educated and civilised elite" act in such a disgraceful way u know what lies behind the system, let alone asshole nobodies like u...

[rencrow]

Lee bollinger. A disgrace to Columbia university!

[boobco]

people were shocked by the stupidity of a famous university president. huhuhuh very funny

[stephenjackson1]

He is a bright man you are probably stupid

[jacko1972]

Bollinger shoots himself down from the outset! I don't agree with Ahmadinejad's views, but I admire his guts for going to the heart of "the enemy's" territory (as he would see it) and opening himself up to questioning.

I think Bollinger could have at least thanked him for his courage and courtesy first.

By all means, attack him later.

[mehdirip]

columbia u president look very stupid.

[lifeasahandbag]

He invited Ahmadinejad to help his students understand Iranian politics—he said "we need to understand the world we live in." I don't understand what you've got your panties in a wad about—tell me, what did Bollinger say that wasn't accurate? His pleas to have Columbia graduates (who were arrested in Iran for no reason) released and returned to America, was that an insult? No—that was courage. Had he not said those things, the world would have continued to not know about them.

[MuddahFukkah]

'The secret service will not allow you to re-entry...'

What the hell was that?!.. What the heck is doing secret service on university's ground?!... Where was the video taken?!... Wasn't it in nacist Germany 1933?!... Guess it was...

[MyChemicalLust]

The U.S. Secret Service has the job of protecting VIP's, Foreign Dignataries, the President and First Family, and visiting Heads of State.

[dan1940210768]

"...Mr Bollinger's diatribe can only be characterized as childish, immature, and uncivilzed."...that's because he wanted so bad his 15 minutes of fame...that was only about HIM and nothing else...¡hienous zionist crap!!!

[fezguy]

woops sorry didnt mean to double post.

[fezguy]

Wow... President Dr.Ahmadinejad shows full respect to even the speaker by standing up at the point 3:38 min. When the first speaker takes a seat beside him by standing up as the speaker takes a seat and sitting down along side him as one and equal. Impressive if you ask me.....lets see once bush take a respect in people he talkes to like this.

[peace1926]

to thejarrod123; as a matter of fact i do not have problems calling a spade a spade. People who hesitate calling Israel a terrorist state have issues calling a spade a spade.

[s4tryo]

@thejarrod123: then i call you DUMB...

[thejarrod123]

to Peace1926: why do you find it wrong to call a spade a spade?

[peace1926]

Potty mouth Bollinger!
