Mr. Bollinger you are rude!!!!!!! we are not stupid and we can use our logic. Next time PLEASEEEEEE stop brain washing your audience before hand and PLEASEEEEEE take the speech 101 and the critical thinking classes at your university again!!!! It seems like that it has been a while that you have taken these classes and you forgot all about the fallacies, Maybe it is time to refresh your mind :)

@Mehedidhk shouldn't you be dodging chem trails somewhere?

[NorwegianGodofRock69]

He shouldn't have been invited in the first place.

Ahmadinejad isn't a dictator and because your media calls him one doesn't make him a dictator. Bollinger ignores his own country's cruel action and pretends to represent a fair view.

[vernicus151]

@icriosphinx President Bollinger isn't a dictator exercising virtually untrammeled power over the United States. So he's not really the one you should be calling a dick.

@Mehedidhk It's not about manners. It's about confrontation. We want the truth and we want him to know what we think of him in order to get the response, the explanations for his injustices that we deserve. I'm sure it was obvious to him that we didn't invite him to engage in polite small talk--we want him to give his most convincing arguments against our rightful conceptual portrait of him as a fraud.

[icriosphinx]

Why has your government imprisoned innocent people in Guantanamo bay under inhumane conditions you white haired dick?

[WhyMeWhySilver]

@ilikeu80 I think it was appropriate to slam him. What do you think should have been said when the devil is in your presence. I'm mean I certainly heard a LOT of applause LOL! Watch it again hehe. I praise the Columbian President for his direct and factgual approach. STUDY YOUR HISTORY ilikeu80. Good Lord!

Mr.Bollinger wait for the judgement day dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@wiisrock87 Actually I want to change that: I understand why he introduced him that way, but this forum should be exactly that; a forum. The beauty of a forum is that anyone at all should be able to come and express their opinions and ideas, regardless of who they are, so it was wrong for Bollinger to, as someone else put it, bias the crowd before he even had a chance to speak.

[wiisrock87]

The reason he introduced him in the way he did was likely an attempt to satisfy the huge number of protesters against his even coming there. And he didn't say anything false. So I dont see the problem here. Very appropriate introduction in my opinion.
