Dance with the Devil from Seraphic Secret Blog seraphicpress.com It's official. Bollinger's an idiot. I know, everybody's all hot and bothered about his fierce intro/attack on Mahmoud. Yippee. You think anyone in Iran is going to see that? If you do, you are, and I say this with all due respect, also an idiot. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco, Libya, Yemen (oh wait there are only 27 TV's in Yemen) or anywhere in the peace-loving Arab Muslim world? Think again. What they are going to see in Iran and the Arab/Muslim world are Al Jazeera clips of Mahmoud blathering on about the Palestinians—which drew applause from the Columbia audience, stunning, huh? And his looooong monologue about the happy-go-lucky women of the joyous Islamic Republic of Iran. One of my favorite Bollinger moments was when he got all patriotic and teary-eyed about Columbia University graduates who are serving in the U.S. armed forces in Iraq, some of whom have been killed and wounded, by Iranian trained terrorists. This from the man who has banned the ROTC from Columbia University. Repeat after me: massive intellectual fraud. Let's give credit where credit is due. Mahmoud spoke an important truth: he said there are no homosexuals in Iran. The audience jeered and laughed. They should be more sober. There are no homosexuals in Iran because, as Yoni observed, they have all been murdered—publicly hung or stoned to death. The religion of peace in action. Bollinger, like almost every liberal I've ever met, does not understand evil and how it operates. Arrogant and intellectually vain, Bollinger believes that by posing glib questions about free speech he's defeating a tyrant. It's the opposite. By engaging in toothless dialog with a Holocaust denier, with a man who at this moment is murdering Americans in Iraq, Bollinger reveals himself as a dupe and a hapless tool of a master jihadist. The students of Columbia cheered every time Mahmoud brought up the Palestinians. This is going to play beautifully on Palestinian and Persian TV. I mean, it's going to go over big time. The Columbia kids are on-board with defeating the Zionist dogs. Al Manar, and Al Jazerra won't even have to sweeten the audio track. And the cut-aways to the cheering American kiddies—golden. Leni Riefenstahl would have killed for such footage. Mazal Tov Dean Bollinger, you've just, no doubt, helped kill a few more Jews. And you've proven that America is a weak and clueless country with no idea who the enemy is. You may not see it that way, but that's how the Arab/Muslim world sees it, and that's what counts. As Hugh Hewitt said on his radio show a few minutes ago: “You can't dance with the devil and walk away unscathed.”

Rudy doesn't generate any enthusiasm. None of the Repub. candidates do so far. i won't be voting for any of them. I'll be voting against Hillary. The two party system really is failing us.

Rudy is as he seems, I think. His personal life was certainly splashed all over the media, so that should be out of the way. He was pretty high handed with some large corporations....but he does seem to have a NYC 'edge' to him, that may be what we need during these times. Fred Thompson sounds good, but needs to pep himself up a bit...I actually think he will as the selection time becomes closer. Romney seems like a really nice guy, and capable. But look where that got GWB. The media has clobbered him every chance they got.... at least Romney speaks well in public. Wonder how tough he really is? Hillary is....well, what time of the day is it, and what day? She's flipping more than Kerry ever did, and that was plenty, for sure! I don't think we can trust her at all. She's shown no evidence of that over the years she's been in public viet.
