Join Monday's rally against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia, across from Lerner Hall at W. 116th St.and Broadway (1-3 p.m). Hasbara Fellowships and other organizations are arranging free busses from Brooklyn, Queens, Rutgers and other locations. For more info, see this Facebook events page or the Hasbara Fellowships' web site.
As if Columbia and the UN aren't friendly enough venues, the Iranian president is now scheduled to address the National Press Club via videolink. Diane Sawyer and Mike Wallace can toss softball questions without flying out to Tehran.
UPDATE Sept. 23:60 Minutes is Ahmadinejad's warm up act, where he gets to address the American public tonight
UPDATE Sept. 23: Columbia dean John Coatsworth says the university would certainly invite Hitler to speak:
If he were willing to engage in a debate and a discussion, to be challenged by Columbia students and faculty, we would certainly invite him.
At least we don't have to worry about Jimmy Carter.
