Ahmadinejad Visit Elicits Responses

It's not surprising that a lot of people have something to say about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinehjad's visit to New York. One of those is Fred Thompson:

“Columbia University gave a public forum today to a tyrant to spread his lies and deceit. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a mockery of free speech by standing in front of an auditorium of academicians and students and denying the existence of the Holocaust and his deadly intentions toward Israel.”

“I find it ironic that Iran's president accepted an invitation to speak at Columbia University, since students who dissent on Iranian campuses are not met with debate, they are met by a gun and imprisonment. A few months ago, eight college students were imprisoned in Iran's notorious Evin Prison for publishing articles and cartoons critical of Iran's government in a student-run newspaper. The Evin facility has been described as Iran's 'most feared prison' and is known to stone women to death. We need to do our best to empower freedom-loving people throughout Iran.”

Cox & Forkum have their own view a Holocaust denier and leader of one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism.
