Were all intellectuals evidently

In the wake of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia University in New York, protesters old and young gathered to voice their discontent with his presence. I initially was angered over the invitation the university offered him. They were clearly promoting themselves on behalf of liberal dialogue with the enemy. Mahmoud is a joke, a lackey to the religious leaders of Iran, he claims himself to be an intellectual. In his speech he gives this long, sophomoric explanation of why science is so important and how God gave it to us to be inquisitive. Obviously it was a set up for his argument and defense of his widely publicized denial of the holocaust; Mahmoud believes that with this inquisitive mind we must look into the actual numbers of the holocaust. He plays the numbers game that modern anti-Semitic holocaust denying idiots use. This tactic gives them some intellectual ground to portray their true convictions as mere pursuit of academic truth. Ill brand this the big BULLSHIT! How can Columbia invite a widely known idiot to have some sort of academic forum? This forum not only displayed Mahmouds kindergarten doctorates degree in propaganda but Columbia's own stupidity in sanctioning this an academic dialogue. The fact they took him seriously and legitimized his intellectualism by allowing his BS to further deplete our ozone layer is a sorry situation. If Mahmoud is an intellectual I guess were all intellectuals... actually I would rather be dumb and ignorant if that is the standard according to Columbia. God Bless America and New Mexico!
