hezbollah has nothing to do with a terrorist group it is supported by a big part of lebanese society and i am CHRISTIAN.this whole introductory speech is bullshit and buyiest
Freedom of speech in the US? What happens when someone speaks up about CIA drug operations?US sponsored terrorism abroad?Corruption of the highest political offices?Anyone who believes the US is the herald of peace and justice is a fool.
Bollinger really sounds like he is addressing childreen; it's as if he is the president of a kindergarden not a university...What an insult to Columbia University students.
Mr Bollinger is supposed to introduce the President of Iran but he's conducting his own speech-fame. When you introduce a guest speaker don't spend so much time on the microphone yourself. Speak for a few minutes and then hand the microphone to the invited speaker.
Bollinger is a shame for education, I imagine him not allow any student to dare think in a different way of him. He thinks he owns the true and he is nothing more than a racist, intolerant, sad person.
Bollinger was fantastic! Well, my opinion aside, I'm glad the C-SPAN content didn't come with the silly commentary of the individual that posted it to youtube.
Fucking homosexual genocidal war mongering assholes, america is a true evil country which needs to be disposed of before it destroys the world. This asshole americunt has truly showed the mentality of americans how they brain wash their students in their so called universities, Iran is one of the most peaceful countries in the world and you are fucking genocidal war mongers.
No, It does not excuse anything. I agree that people should have a choice in their sexual relationships. I am a heterosexual who is married for close to ten years but I support any gay movement in any country. And I condemn California for letting down gay marriage. I also condemn the harassment of Muslims in USA after the tragedy of 9/11 which both were enforced by law enforcements you THINK they are protecting minorities. Americans should stop being hypocrites and fix their own issues.
In case other Americans don't realize this, our media is just as bias as other governments that have nationally controlled news. When was the last time you heard any news channel speak anything about israel being wrong about violating treaties?
you bloody americans where are the freedom rights in saudi arabia.....n ur goverment if fully supporting thjem,,,,u bloody hypocrites...u just care about urself n dont give a shit with wat hapens in other countries
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
everything that was said about ahmedinajad is true, iranian president has numerous times desrespected all other nations, and leaders of other countries. It was time him to face the criticism
It's interesting to see some of european and western countries agree with Dr.Ahmadinejad. only people who have a black heart, can't accept him. because he speaks according to Islam instructions.
I invite all to see gsw12345 and see how anonymous he is. Just another hypocrite like this bollinger. And you will see that just about all negative comment about Iran president are made by these tip of lairs that can only have Satan I'm self as a father.
ahmadinejad lied about homosexuals, what else is he lying about
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]
A common motif of genocide incitement is the dehumanization of the target population. The Nazi weekly Der Stürmer portrayed Jews as parasites & locusts. Hutu propaganda in Rwanda against the Tutsis described them as "cockroaches." Prior to Saddam Hussein's operations against the Iraqi Shi'ite population in 1991, his Baath Party newspaper characterized them as "monkey-faced people." Similarly, Ahmadinejad has called Israeli Jews "cattle," "blood thirsty barbarians," & "criminals."
Obviously you have listen only to the propaganda we get here in the west. and all you heard about Ahmadinejad, you heard out of contest. Or you are trying to deceive, just like this bollinger, a bite of truth to hide the lies. Thank to the internet, the deceivers are exposed. I don't know you . I might be wrong. If it the case, please listen to Ahmadinejad full speech's, before spreading lies that could lead us in to WW3, if the bollinger s have their way.
Why not? This is the very core of a debate. Otherwise, it would be just chichat between friends, which would not have any significance for debate. I ask myself why people are getting afraid and ashamed of saying and hearing individual opinions... Are we becoming too coward to think and to be free???
personaly i love gay ppl and the teachers i look up to r gay. However, ahmedinajad is NOT lying. he says they do not have gays meaning he doesnt consider gays. Islam does not accept gays as many Christians do not as well. some Muslims are okay with homosexuality like some christians r. President Ahmedinajad is a muslim who doesnt believe homosexualty. hanging of homosexuals in public r used to prevent others from engaging in it.however they DO NOT and CAN NOT EXECUTE gays who practice in PRIVATE
Sex changes have been legal in Iran since Ayatollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution, passed a fatwa - a religious edict - authorising them for "diagnosed transsexuals" 25 years ago.
Today, Iran carries out more sex change operations than any other nation in the world except for Thailand.

Iran has between 15,000 and 20,000 transsexuals, according to official statistics, although unofficial estimates put the figure at up to 150,000. Iran carries out more gender change operations than any other country in the world besides Thailand.
"Islam has a cure for people suffering from this problem. If they want to change their gender, the path is open"
it is really funny. he questions the execution of homosexuals in Iran while Blacks are still getting killed by KKK and the government isn't doing anything!!! or worse thousands of people in USA die every year because their stupid government thinks if they bring Universal health care in the system they would look like the Communists. whole bunch of fags!!!!
There is no question that the US is sponsoring a counter-revolution in Iran. How now, is it right to for the US to savage a state based upon preventative interests, and, for academics to provide the rationale for such excursions by foisting partisanship upon the illiterate and the uneducated? Hypocrisy. Bollinger shoves the entire history down the memory hole, cherry-picking intelligence in an effort to provoke and to alienate Iran, rather than seeking inclusive diplomatic solutions.
Bollinger was REALLY nervous when he was telling bad things about Ahmedinejad. I don't know him, but I figured out that he might have been threatened by MOSSAD to talk that way. If you are experienced, you can understand it from the tone of his voice.
I have never seen such a dumb university president . The fact is iranian president came up with questions for which Bollinger did not have any answers .
