The news out of Columbia University gets more bizarre by the day. On the heels of inviting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian anti-Semitic tyrant, to their grounds for a "robust debate," a Dean of the University has come out with this as their defence: if Hitler were willing to have a debate with Columbia students and faculty, then the Fuhrer would be invited, too.When you have to use Hitler as an attempt to quell outrage, you know you've lost your grip on reality.
John Coatsworth is the Dean's name. You can see this clown's views on Hitler here.
Coatsworth's name is worth remembering, as he might be canned sometime in the very near future. Then again, probably not. Columbia University is a lunatic asylum, and it's quite obvious that the crazies are running the place.
I know what Coatsworth's game is. He's implying that Columbia is a bastion of free speech, and that every man should get his day in court. But what possible purpose can it serve to invite hate mongers to the floor? If Coatsworth and the morons at Columbia truly believe this, they would invite guest speakers from the Ku Klux Klan.
The invitation to Ahmadinejad is purely political in nature. He despises the United States, and he is an arch enemy of George W. Bush. In other words, he's Columbia's kind of people. Never mind that Columbia is "liberal," yet Mahmoud thinks women should be killed for adultery, and gays hanged in the street for sodomy. Mahmoud's hatred of the United States trumps all of this.
Robust debate? Gimme a break. What are you going to learn that history hasn't already taught you? Debating Hitler and Ahmadinejad about their views is like holding a debate on whether dog crap tastes better than chocolate chip cookies.
