Why did the students applaud the Iran President?
It's a fact that Columbia University is teaching Liberal politics in school. They are taught that it's ok for them to hate America! What message does it send to are troops when a US University invites this leader of Iran to speak at there school ?A man the records show is responsible for killing 30% of are troops and has admitted he will sell nuclear bombs to any one that will use them on America ! And these students applaud him! Truly disgusting. These disrespectful kids should live in Iran ! 2 weeks and they would beg to come back to the States! Liberals are Americas enemy with in ! Jerry Z Could you be any more pathetic? !Michael M Your statement "You love your country" Contradicts your answer!

You are correct!

Columbia University is a bastion of anti-American sentiment , and the students who applauded the Iranian President should be ashamed of themselves .

No, they simply know what is going on. And what is so wrong with hating America?

Courtesy only. Some just to defy the gov't in the US. What students do. TY

I think thou protest TOO much... Your anger and resentment are not vehicles to displace values which are held dear to our constitution...to point a finger at what the President of Iran makes in a speech is as UN-american as it get's. Freedom of speech are still VERY much in tact... But what are you going to do about the ACTUAL problem? The college kids of today are GUTLESS period...too busy with I-Pods, cellphones, internet, self-absorbed, and incredibly stupid(besides morally and ethically backrupt) when compared to their parents.

After hearing what words came out of Bollinger's mouth, of course there gonna applaud him. "All Bollinger did was make our country look like an ASS!" Even though I love my country very much, I had to said the above because in my opinion it is true.

If you are an American, there is definitely something wrong with hating America, what a preposterous question. To have a difference of opinion, to argue, to oppose our leadership and our foreign policy that is perfectly fine and what our country is all about. And as far as the speech was concerned, for those students to listen respectfully to the president of Iran is to be expected, but to applaud him wildly is unacceptable. It just shows how spineless and misled those students are, and they do a great disservice to those who oppose the war.

I guess a lot of you didn't actually read or hear what Bollinger said during his introduction to Ahmadinejad . The students applauded their School President for standing up to this man during his introduction. Read it, see where the "applause" occurs. You might learn something.

I was not fond of the whole event. Though regardless, they did nothing illegal. Whether what anyone thinks of the actions of Columbia University, it is protected by the freedom of speech. If you truely support America, then support what it stands for. The Communist regime is China call their students enemies when they use free speech in a academic context. Not us!

Because they are the next generation of Left wing Liberal Democrats. I only wish I was an alumni of Columbia University so I could refuse to ever donate to them again!
