If you invite someone, you don't then insult and bash your guest. Bollinger doesn't speak for America, or me. He embarrassed all Americans with his childish scoldings of a visiting Head of State. He should have just politely introduced the manaic and let him have his say, since that is what the Columbia student-idiots were there for. To them, this guy is more liked and less "dangerous" than Bush. This is the same venue where the Minutemen were speaking recently, and had the stage rushed by illegal alien supporters. They were invited guests, and they were treated like animals, with almost zero security in place. Columbia is one fucked-up place.

I agree totally, Jongstraw. I agree espescially that Columbia is one rightously screwed up place.
"Student idiots" is kind of harsh, though. Mannerless children, mayhap?

I believe that when you invite someone over, it's your duty to be respectful of them no matter who they are.

The kid who wanted to hear what the man had to say for himself? He's got the right idea. It's like having an interview with Stalin or Hitler. Why would you f*ck that up? You can spend an hour of your time insulting these people whenever you want. When they're invited to speak at a University, you really ought to be learning from them.
Of course, that doesn't mean you'll be learning what they think they're teaching.

I expect the Board of Regents to fire him, not because it's appropriate, but because their alumni donations will disappear.
