... then why did they blacken out the podium and the backdrop?



See these heavily-branded events from the same Columbia U. World Leader Forum:


Dr. Ivo Sanader, Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia,


Evo Morales, the first indigenous president of Bolivia

They didn't blacken out the podium. They blackened out the lectern. The podium is the thing that the speaker and the lectern are standing on.



Hmm, maybe it was just a color coordination thing.

You know, black hair, black backdrop. Grey suit, grey podium.

Does Columbia have a School of Fashion & Design? Maybe this was an interdisciplinary event!

Either that or they had second thoughts about the university name being permanently associated with the largest state sponsor of Islamic terrorism. But why should a bunch of leftist academics care about something like that!

Nah, definitely has to be a fashion thing.

Divestment from Columbia is the best response. Universities have to be reined in and hitting them in the pocket book is the only thing that will work.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at September 24, 2007 3:02 PM  


Excellent point.

Will anyone in the MSM question this?

Is it too much to ask the leader of a nation to don a tie? What is it casual Monday over at Columbia?



eh, most likely the "death to America/ death to Israel" banners got delayed at the print shop.

I agree with Mitt that all people from Iran in this country should be arrested and put in camps. We cannot have enemies here in the United States and it is a pity that Guantanamo is not big enough. We should create camps in other countries like Russia and Germany to put them.

Ties are a Western device to be eschewed by all good Persians.



It was done on Ahmadinejad's request. Black is part of he shtick. It goes along with world dominance, oppression of freedom, and authoritarianism.



Kyle, Ahmadinejad won't wear a tie because it's cross-shaped.

By Anonymous Rob Crawford, at September 24, 2007 8:12 PM  


Those are different rooms. Ahmadinejad was in Roone Arledge Auditorium at Lerner Hall. Your other pictures are from Miller Theater (Morales) and Low Library (Sanader). Sometimes Columbia has branded Roone Arledge, as when their own professor Stiglitz spoke on globalization, and sometimes not, as when India's PM Vajpayee spoke.
(http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu/cgsd/advising/images/india-pm01_000.jpg)

I recommend caution in merely pulling pictures from the internet without actually knowing where those picture were taken on campus, and when.

If I recall correctly ties fell out of fashion after the revolution, considered symbols of western ideals:

isn't it possible that Ahmadinejad requested that for his own propaganda purposes?

How does that change anything? Who's running the show.. if that were the case it would only change the evidence that Columbia knuckled, not the end result.

If this is part of a school speaker program, the invitee has the option of accepting or not.

Suppose you invited a notorious celeb to your house for a small party, would you allow him to then dictate the decor and the guest list?

And if you did, what would that make you?



3 different microphones 3 different podia... I'm thinking these photos were from different rooms.

You know they might have needed a bigger room given all the buzz.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at September 25, 2007 8:47 AM  


This sort of perfidy is a commonplace at Columbia. Please follow the link below for more evidence of their sinister intent:

http://sajablogs.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/curley.jpg



Neither PM Vajpayee's appearance nor Curley's were made as part of the World Leaders Forum.

Every photo and video I've seen from the Columbia site involving that event was branded - save for Ahmadinejad's.

It doesn't matter that the photos on this site aren't from Lerner Hall. They're just evidence of the branding involved with the event. Every previous speaker at the World Leaders Forum in Lerner Hall or in any other hall or auditorium at Columbia spoke at a lectern with a WLF and/or Columbia logo or in front of a drape with the WLF lettering on it.

Except for Ahmadinejad

UPDATE: It's not so ominous when seen in context as Drudge makes it out to be. But in this race... you have to watch every step.



I'll post the video when it comes up (I'm sure it's out there).

But this report (noted on Drudge) recounts the following exchange at a McCain stop:

Another man — wondering if an attack on Iran is in the works — wanted to know when America is going to “send an air mail message to Tehran.”

McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song.

“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann. “Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.”

He stopped short of answering the actual question and did not say if he supports an invasion of Iran.


Listen, we all understand his sentiment. But you can't make light of this stuff in this way. Perhaps at some shtick press lampooning session but not in the public spotlight in serious discussion. Yikes!

That's gonna follow him around.


Here's another greatest hit of McCain (this one is funny and in the right setting)

Oh man............



I like both of those videos...

I think they both help McCain...

Ba-ba-ba-ba-baran sounds a lot like bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran!

I laughed and thought McCain was very smart, but I guess that is a very old joke that started with the 70s hostage crisis...



This will hurt McCain with most but it helps him with me.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at April 19, 2007 12:52 PM  


The joke was about as appropriate as joking about the electric chair during a death penalty trial. The statement seems unnecessarily flippant about war. I think it is very inflammatory to people around the world who already think we are a warmongers.



Well, when his campaign does finally crash and burn in an incredible blaze of glory, at least he has a new day job...



Yeah. That is hilarious. I'm definitely a Romney guy, but this kind of thing makes me McCain more likeable to me.

What are you seeing that gives you the opinion that there is something good going to come from Iraq?
Where in the Constitution does it say to attack other nations without just cause?
Will you defend the Constitution even though it does not say anything about the rights of big buisness over the rights of the people?

By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 6, 2007 3:43 PM  


Why is it if you want to ask questions, you're too chicken to not say your name?
What you are seeing in Iraq IS progress, pull you're head out!
Where does is say in the Constitution that if someone attacks on your soil, that you don't respond back?
If you were born AFTER 9/11 then read some history!
Big Business over RIGHTS of the people. Huh?
