I mean honestly, "free speech v. zionist power?!" Sounds like something out of a gov't ran Iranian newspaper. I just hope this group and the speaker receive the proper condemnation deserved from such an absurd topic.

I was struck by the <a href="http://hurryupharry.bloghouse.net/archives/2007/09/09/judging_a_book_by_its_cover.php" rel="nofollow">similarities</a> with straight-up Nazi propaganda from 1942 (scroll down to the picture of the book "Kräfte hinter Roosevelt" (The Forces behind Roosevelt) and note the flag). The idea that an avowed Holocaust-denier promoting himself with blatant and obvious anti-Semitic imagery would be welcome on campus (especially one as self-righteously "progressive" as this one) should be shocking. Unfortunately, it's anything but. I'll be interested in seeing if the ODE covers it and, if they do, what they have to say about the event and Weber's background.

Don't these people come to the University every year? And isn't there a general lack of outrage (compare to other, less significant events) on campus when they come? It sort of boggles the mind. I think you guys should cover this event, even if it makes you feel dirty afterwards. Exactly. Don’t these people come to the University every year?
