Meanwhile, military recruiters and former Harvard President Larry Summers aren’t welcome on many US college campuses.

To be clear, I don’t have much of a problem with Ahmadinejad visiting Columbia.  I think the best thing to do with cruel idiots like that one is to give them enough of the proverbial rope to hang themselves.  Nothing exposes evil for what it is like a big, fat shining spotlight.

My only problem is that while America’s college campuses are willing to open their doors to people like Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez (who lectured at college campuses during his last visit to America), people like Summers are denied access.  And people like Ann Coulter, David Horowitz and Jim Gilcrhist of the Minutemen are allowed to be pestered and bum-rushed off stage with no repercussions for the hooligans responsible.

It’s a sign of the times, I guess, but not a very pleasing one.
