A bit of late news that was recently brought to our attention: according to the ominously-titled website House of Bnai-Haman, September 24, 2007 will now permanently be referred to as “Columbia’s Day of Shame,” which the site asks to readers to make sure “is never forgotten.” Granted, the blog was actively updated for a grand total of two weeks, so we’re not sure how long people will remember such an appellation — never mind the nifty bit of poetry in the left hand column. Hey, at least its’s got those sister sites loaded and running (more or less, anyway).
He even makes up quotes from PrezBo himself! Here’s one selection:
“Since Hitler is no longer available and Amadinejad has already spoken, I want our students to have the chance to hear from this scummy scoundrel,” Bollinger said’ in a news release.
Bollinger further promised that he’d give the nooseman a public dressing down before providing him an open forum to spout his message of hate.
While Professor Constantine told news outlets covering the story that she found the incident “very personal and very degrading,” Bollinger said the feelings of all victims matter not. “What counts,” Bollinger said, “is that in America, everyone from the corner grocer to the corner cannibal has his or her opportunity to besmirch the reputation of our campus.”
Now that would require some serious sensitivity training.

@this article is annoying. what’s to stop bwog from posting every goddamn internet site they find and like? hell, why don’t you just post this one: “Not-so-secret Search Engine” http://www.google.com
@Umm maybe because this one is actually relevant to stuff that happened at Columbia? I wouldn’t put this in the category of “every goddamn internet site.”
@Anonymous What do you think is more important, whether the Lions win this week’s football game or whether the world faces a nuclear holocaust at the hands of the Iranian dictator that Columbia U. embraced. Even anti-Semites shouldn’t be so stupid.
@yeah not wanting to be killed by Arabs is really fucked up. I for one want to be killed by a palestinian 5 year old with a backpack bomb.
@You're right The UN High Commissioner of Human Rights is a Palestinian 5 year old with a backpack bomb. So is the Director of Amnesty International. And Jimmy Carter too, and Noam Chomsky.
@Typical “Anti-Semite of the Week: Louise Arbour, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights”
Just typical. Everyone who calls Israel out on their egregiously fucked up policy towards Palestine is, by definition, an anti-Semite (and of course, in the same boat as the Nazis). You’re only shooting yourself in the foot by blurring the line between real anti-Semites and normal people who oppose Israeli occupation.
@Anonymous The very first people to say that hating Israel’s policies is not the same as anti-Semitism are anti-semites. Where is my proof. Those same people are silent on all other suffering people in the world. They just can’t stand Jews in a role other than victims. You are an anti-Semite, despite your denials.
