If you're in New York City... (UPDATED)

Get out and protest Ahmadinejad's visit to the UN. Show him what free speech is really about. Show him that we know precisely what he is about and what he wants, despite the efforts of the nutroot PC left crowd.

On a related note, if anybody has any information about his meeting with 9/11 families, I'd appreciate links in the comments.

Update 10:47 AM: Great article by Kenneth Timmerman on FrontPage Magazine about Ahmadinejad's visit. Here's a sample:

My favorite (okay, barring a non-stop flight to Gitmo) would be to serve the boy president with a subpoena as a material witness in the billion dollar lawsuit brought against the Islamic Republic of Iran by former U.S. diplomats held hostage in Tehran from 1979-1981.

As I reported at the time of Ahmadinejad’s first visit to New York two years ago, several former hostages have positively identified the boy president as their most vicious interrogator during their 444 ordeal.

Former assistant air attaché David Roeder described in excruciating detail Ahmadinejad’s tactics in a June 2005 interview with the German newsweekly Der Spiegel.

“[Ahmadinejad] was present at at least a third of my personal interrogations, which took place nightly for a little over a month early on in the hostage-taking situation,” Roeder said. “He seemed to be calling the shots, but from the background. The interrogators would ask a question and it would then be translated from Farsi into English by a woman interpreter.”

Most chilling was the very personal nature of the threat Ahmadinejad used in an effort to “break” Roeder.

“Because I was not cooperating, they threatened that they were going to kidnap my handicapped son and send various pieces of him -- fingers and toes is what they mentioned -- to my wife if I didn't start cooperating. You don't forget somebody who is involved in something like that.”

No, you don’t forget somebody who is involved in something like that.

I heard on the radio this morning that Columbia's administration invited him because they want to "confront" him about his "alleged" support for terrorism, and his Holocaust denial. Therefore, it seems these liberal idiots are willing to insult just about everyone, and betray their country so they can dialog with the enemy. What a day for America.

They applauded him.
