It’s supposed to be streaming at CBS NY, WNBC, and ABC 7 but I can’t get any to play at the moment. Anyone have any feeds they know are working?
Update: The NBC feed is working. I’m able to record it, for some reason, but not actually see it play. Let me know what’s happening in the comments.
Update: It looks like the cable nets may be carrying this too, at least for awhile. MSNBC already has the feed and Fox appears to cut to it.
Update: In fairness, if Bush had come out against the speech, the left would be demagoging him as opposed to free inquiry, etc etc. But still:
“This is a place of high learning and if the president (of Columbia) thinks it’s a good idea to have the leader from Iran come and talk to the students as an educational experience, I guess it’s OK with me,” Bush told FOX News in an interview. “The problem is Ahmadinejad uses these platforms to advance his agenda, which I suspect in this case … He doesn’t want America to know his true intentions.”

If the idiots sitting there are acutally listening to what Dinnerjacket is saying — their heads should be about to explode.

As part of his charm offensive, does the swarthy munchkin have any appearances scheduled for the The View or Oprah?
JammieWearingFool on September 24, 2007 at 2:18 PM
“war is bad.” now we’re getting somewhere… warmongers are uneducated…he’s pulling an Osama and playing to the peanut gallery.
see-dubya on September 24, 2007 at 2:18 PM
If he keeps this up, the liberals will begin all their speeches the same way.

“Another important point is the realtionship between science and purity of spirit”
Another point? you haven’t made the first one you rambling tard! This is some serious verbal diarrhea

So when did Mahdi become a Scientologist?
I keep expecting his next remarks to include a shout-out to Xenu.
TheEJS on September 24, 2007 at 2:18 PM
Well spoken.
BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Can someone sum up what he is saying ?
bnelson44 on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
I’ve had professors that could match him for numbly boring talks.

Hugo Chavez did eight straight hours on TV yesterday. I doubt the little guy is up for that.
Besides, he heading over to Scores later.
JammieWearingFool on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Am I the only one falling asleep? I thought he was supposed to be a great speaker and charismatic. What a bore!
bopbottle on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Now he’s rolling! Bush bad! War on terror! Telephone tapping! No civil liberties!
HAAAAA!

LakeRuins on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Did MoveOn help him with this speech?
yo on September 24, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Just accused someone of tapping phone calls and violating rights.

Armageddonjad isn’t worth my time.

I see where we are going…he is playing to the left…Bush made up the war on terror…he says withing a short drive to Ground Zero…

Dear God,

BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:20 PM
Does Dinnerjack work for the DNC. This part of the speech sure is sounding like it
ordi on September 24, 2007 at 2:20 PM
I’d like to see Bollinger sneak up behind him and give his best impression of Chevy Chase mocking his diatribe.
fogw on September 24, 2007 at 2:20 PM
Right now Bollinger’s looking around like, “Did he even hear me?”
World B. Free on September 24, 2007 at 2:21 PM
Bring in the ROTC officers to take him out
BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:21 PM
No - Adam Gadahn did
Editor on September 24, 2007 at 2:21 PM
LOL - Bush is oppressive says the tiny terrorist…wait, did the interpreter just LAUGH?

Gabriel just told me I could pie him…even though Gabriel told me not to pie him last week. O’well, fickle Gabriel.

Islam has a very specific form required for declaring war on another nation. In that form the individual making the declaration must first define the spiritual superiority of Islam.
They must then contrast the party they are declaring war on with Islam and show that parties inferiority to Islam. Then they must invite those parties to submit to Islam. The failure to submit constitutes a declaration of war in the eyes of Islam.
This is what Ahmadinejad is doing.

Don’t forget global warming, , don’t leave out the global warming

None of ‘em left at Columbia. Too “disruptive” and “evil” for the leftest elite.

Depleted Uranium in Iraq. The Jewish lesbian at Kos with the crush on him just felt a little thrill…
see-dubya on September 24, 2007 at 2:22 PM
Some big powers have a monopoly over science and big powers don’t want to see the progress of other nations…
Ordinary1 on September 24, 2007 at 2:22 PM
ROFL he’s talking about depleted uranium shells.

ordi on September 24, 2007 at 2:22 PM
Regardless of how good Bollinger’s introduction was, MyManMitt asks a very good question.
Slublog on September 24, 2007 at 2:22 PM
I guess he wants us to help him build a bomb
Ordinary1 on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM
wow is he still rambling on???
Mojack420 on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM
What are the odds that his conclusion will be: “It’s all President Bush’s fault,” whatever the hell he’s talking about.
Mallard T. Drake on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM
Just one more jihad on our heads. The question is, when will we fight back and will we fight back?
wherestherum on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM

There aren’t any at Columbia, are there?

He ought to pay attention to Hiroshima a little closer
Learn from their mistake
BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM
I can’t wait for the transcript. This incoherent nonsense is priceless. I wonder what the Kos tools think of all this religious gibberish.
Thomas the Wraith on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM
Well, he’s taking his sweet time doing it.
Either that, or he’s … well, I’m not sure what else he would be doing.
Doesn’t matter, even if he came right out said “death to America” the press wouldn’t cover it.
yo on September 24, 2007 at 2:23 PM

BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Uh oh, I think he’s starting to lose the interpreter….
World B. Free on September 24, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Science is a devine gift, so America shouldn’t be hogging it all. Scientists should rule the world!?
Ordinary1 on September 24, 2007 at 2:24 PM
OOOps sorry no time for questions. I have got a flight to catch.

BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:24 PM
LOL .. the translator keeps getting lost, too.

the interpreter is about to pass out…
JustTruth101 on September 24, 2007 at 2:24 PM
DinnerJacket is a pretty cool guy… he hasn’t said Bush Lied, People Died or Death to America yet.

“When Muhammed arrives to rule the world.” Oh man! Gold!

Slublog on September 24, 2007 at 2:25 PM
He’s the f*king president of a country and is teaching college courses?

BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
did someone say 60 years?
trailortrash on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
lan astaslem on September 24, 2007 at 2:25 PM
That theory was already floated with the 14 pg letter to Bush. Why does he need to do it again?
Spirit of 1776 on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Ahh some meat.. he’s talking about Palestinians.
trubble on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
“For 60 years of terror in Palestine.”
And whose fault is that? Idiot.
Mallard T. Drake on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Oh, hey, blame Israel! This is getting old.
wherestherum on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM

amerpundit on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Red meat now…
baldilocks on September 24, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Oh wait for a minute I thought he was talking about the things that Israel had to endure for 60 years. Silly me he was talking about the Palestianinas
LakeRuins on September 24, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Oh, isn’t that speacial, he is an academic. How could anyone insult him? Oh poor baby, he is really upset about the insults. Nuclear bombs-OK; insults-bad.
bopbottle on September 24, 2007 at 2:27 PM
’sides “OMG he was shot”, best line of the thread.
TheEJS on September 24, 2007 at 2:27 PM
she better be
her life may depend on it
BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:27 PM
The USA is keeping God-given scientific knowledge from the rest of the world. And we don’t have the Godly wisdom to use that science productively.
Check.
csdeven on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Someone throw a pork pie.
wherestherum on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Thirty minutes in, he’s asking his first question. for openers.. Holocaust denial, nowhere to go but up from here, right? right?
trubble on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
1 - If the Holocaust is a present reality … why is there not sufficient research which can approach the topic from different perspectives?
2 - Why are the Holocaust deniers put into prison?
Off.His.Nut.
yo on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Oh man .. here it comes. Holocaust denial, the soft version. “Different perspective”, “research”, this just gets better and better.
Thomas the Wraith on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Ok truther, settle down about research.
Unless you want to research what happened to your dick size.
TheEJS on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
LOL
BobH on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
It’s called daw’ah.
PRCalDude on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
is he a Holocaust “truther?” There has to be another reality that needs to be researched.
Mallard T. Drake on September 24, 2007 at 2:28 PM
He shouldn’t use words he doesn’t understand, like freedom, democracy, etc
JustTruth101 on September 24, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Finally…getting to his REAL point about science, research, truth, blah, blah, blah.
The “REAL” events of the holocaust.
dont taze me bro on September 24, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Wonder no more, my friend.
Some are insulted by the “disrespect” shown him by Bollinger.
