It was never about "First Amendment Rights" (whine when you say that). It was about Bollinger's self-serving, self-righteous posturing. He and his student supporters have no sense of perspective or equal treatment: how could they deny campus presence of ROTC because of "don't ask don't tell", yet welcome the Despot? Simple: "we're open-minded as long as we agree with you". The shaggy professor then realized his mistake in inviting him so he had to put up a front by giving an insulting introduction. Well done Columbia...NOT!
