Hunter Warns Columbia University to Cancel Invitation to Iranian President


Manchester, NH… At 11:30 a.m. this morning Congressman Duncan Hunter is holding a Town hall Meeting at the New England College, 98 Bridge Street, Henniker, New Hampshire in the Simon center. Hunter will issue a statement directed to Columbia University and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit.

In a recent press conference Hunter said "To host the leader of Iran when he supports terrorists that are moving deadly roadside bombs across the Iraqi border to be used against American troops is a slap in the face for the entire 165,000 men and women in Iraq and to those that have served before them."

"If President Lee Bollinger follows through with this hosting of the leader of Iran, I will move in Congress to cut off every single type of Federal Funding to Columbia University. If the left-wing leaders of academia will not support our troops, they, in the very least, should not support our adversaries."

"This event, following the slanderous action of MoveOn.org, depicting General Petraeus as "General Betray Us," in the New York Times represents the emergence of the extreme left-wing in American politics."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He is willing to sacrifice hundreds of medical patients with his defunding simply because an Iranian President was invited to speek. Yes I don't like Ahmadinejad, but this is the greatest travesty to make the school pay for their educational decisions. Beyond sickening!

1. What an ass

Wonder if Hunter wil issue a retraction after hearing what Bollinger said in his introduction. Probably not. Why waste a perfect good smear of a "left wing' school even after it's apparant it was not warranted.

4. I dare ya, Duncan. In fact, I double dare ya.

Please introduce your motion to cut off funding to Columbia. Please. Then, let's have a vote. Then you can crawl back under whatever rock you crawled out from.

6. It'll be much worse than that MoveOn resolution.

Unlike that worthless MoveOn thing the senate voted for, Hunter's diabolical attempt to ruin lives because of one man threatens not just Columbia, but all universities who hosts contversial figures on a speeking engagement, and such.

5. Duncun Hunter threatens Human Thought

8. For those nervous about the link to Hunter's site, here's an alternative

OK, true, it's the Washington Times... not much of an improvement!

Apparently Hunter's view is that our government should use its power to stifle the free speech of anyone who, like Ahmadinejad, supports the stifling of free speech. Or something like that.

Under the First Amendment, Columbia had the prerogative to invite Ahmadinejad, or to not invite him. Congress has no such flexibility. Hunter's proposal amounts to subversion of the Constitution of the United States. Off to Gitmo with him!
