What did Lee Bollinger ( President of Columbia University) tried to accomplished by insulting Ahmadineja?

The One asked:


This has anything to do with him acting like OJ instead of an educator?

“…..Bollinger has been criticized for taking a neutral public position on controversies in 2004-5 regarding intimidation of students by professors in the Middle East Languages and Cultures (MEALAC) department alleged by the pro-Israel advocacy organization The David Project, and for placing the department in receivership. He has also been at the forefront of criticism for his role advocating the expansion of the University into the Manhattanville neighborhood and the possible use of eminent domain to help it seize property there. The Bollinger administration’s expansion plans have been criticized as fundamentally incompatible with the 197/a plan for development crafted by the community, and for failing to address the neighborhood’s need to maintain affordable housing stock…..”

Why do farmers in China are modest than PHD prof. in the USA = Bollinger!!! A President of a University = An Idiot.

    I don’t think he was insulting him, but asking serious hard questions that need to be answered.

    Take a deep breath. Clear your thoughts and you’ll see you won’t feel the urge to babble.

    He wanted to get his face on the news I’m sure. He makes me sick.

    The area around Columbia is a dump! it needs to be developed. Bollinger tried to appease the PC critics…academia is an open venue…let the PM of Iraq speak and see what he really is about….

    Lee Bolinger, president of Columbia University, has shown himself as ignorant, some may say. He said not one positive or even neutral comment regarding Ahmadineja, showing he is unsteady as a political/public person and wants to distract America’s eyes from himself. Therefore, he lays a negative burden on another important figure, shielding himself from any criticism he may directly recieve.

    Lee Bolinnger ask the hard questions and he is wrong, the real story is why did ahmadejad not answer one question and still says the Holocaust did not happen

    bollinger did it to cover his ass.

    the visit didn’t go as he had hoped. bollinger was hoping ahmadinejad would trumpet the far left hate america ideology so popular on columbia’s campus.

    but instead, he said some rather unPC things and bollinger felt like a fool for inviting him in the first place.

    had ahmadinejad just said “death to the american imperialists” bollinger would have applauded him.

    Lee Bollinger acted like a child.

    I’m disappointed in him.
