Folks, were deep into the world beyond the looking glass these days. The Iranian president comes to New York and the whole corporate media goes bonkers. Is he the reincarnation of Hitler ? I say not, Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier, apparently also a gay denier and also a politician. The last speaks to the first two, by the fact, just like our president, the Iranian president has a base too. What is disturbing to this writer, they're not all that different.
The protection of marriage act was heralded as a stroke of genius, by political pundits in the 2004 election cycle. In other words for the first time in the history of this republic we would seek to take rights away from citizens..ie gay peoples rights don't exist. The laughter of the Columbia student body, I think stripped away the thin veneer behind which the Iranian president sought to hide. His expression betrayed the truth, he didn't believe what he was saying. As we slog ahead toward the presidential elections of 08, I hope the students of Columbia will remember the valuable lesson they learned. If it doesn't make sense, it is not true.
