When he's Over There, he can pick and choose what he answers.  The european media isn't exactly super tough on him either, it's only when he came here that he got the hard questions.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Refusing to allow him to talk plays into his hands and serves the interests of those internationally who would see our country harmed, because they can tell whatever story they want without risk of being contradicted.

Is our military allowed to recruit on this campus?

[Chairboy]

Forbidding recruiters from campus is dumb too for the same reason, silly.

Free speech?  

Where is Amadmanjihad given the "right" to free speech in this country?

He has no "right" to free speech.  The guy holding the sign is an idiot.

sorry, "war mongers" are not allowed to speak in this bastion of free speech.

[Donzo]

So they let this nut case speak and do not let our military on campus for recruting?

In that case the gov should pull any funding...period.

Once a decade..pretty good..Almost as tough as the Peanut farmer that pretended to be president

The best way to discredit an idiot is to let him discredit himself through open speech.

That principal holds in the global arena just as it does in the O Club.

Letting him speak was the right thing to do.

Got to go with the socialists on this one...  No reason to not let the guy speak.

I would show slides of the nazi camps on a giant screen behind the guy while he spoke tho.

As for the students?   they are mush heads in any case.  They are too young to even know what they think... most are dumb enough to think they have original thought and came to their conclusions on their own.  Which... oddly enough... match their proffs... who woulda thought?   great minds think alike eh?  course.. so do brainwashed drones but...

That an East Coast liberal university would be tough on a Holocaust denier who has called for the destruction of Israel is just plain shocking. Particularly since they would feel absolutely no pressure to appear balanced with such a high profile and controversial speaking engagement.

As pointed out though, they certainly had no problem allowing the student body to shout down and assault the "racist" Minuteman speakers (some of whom were minorities themselves). And to think, their J students get a fast track into the major market news organizations of America.

I disagree.  Did he say anything that we haven't already heard?  No.  I'm happy that he was berated, but what else came out of this?

lazs....its not that you can't hear him.....just turn on MSNBC or CNN, or perhaps BBC....you'll hear all you want.  My point is, he should have never been given a podium on U.S. soil to blather from.

You must also realize, then, sir, to NOT have given him such a podium from which to speak, would have thrown asunder our core value of free speech for ALL regardless of creed or color.  By not letting him speak, you show those morons back in the persian gulf that we really are JUST as hypocritical and ignorant as we seem to be.
