Would they rather people didn't openly criticize him?

"Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," Bollinger said, to loud applause.
He said Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust might fool the illiterate and ignorant.
"When you come to a place like this it makes you simply ridiculous," Bollinger said. "The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history."

Isn't it telling when neo-cons get mad at people who support the open criticism of Ahmadinejad with their applause of the critical statements?

I didn't know neo-cons were upset at people applauding the criticism of Ahmadinejad? Perhaps because he's a lying dictator who wants nothing less than the total annihilation of Jews and any western society.

They applauded when Bollinger attacked, and they applauded when AlmondDinnerJacket attacked back. I think the pre-adults in a university just like harsh rhetoric, regardless of content.

I went to your link and I didn't see anything reported about neo-cons or any type of conservative being upset.
Why would you try to drag conflict into a story that doesn't exist? Never mind, I believe I know.

Hooray for Bollinger. He shouldn't have had the guy there in the first place but this makes up for it.

I think it's the applauding of the Iranian prez that upsets people.

As a conservative, I don't get it. I would rather hear people disagreeing with him than keeping silent. Being able to express your opinions about what you agree with and don't agree with are essential to what America was founded on.
I support the right of everyone to express their opinions, whether or not I personally agree with them is irrelevant.
