Ahmadinejad is in America to communicate some "alternative views" today:
Some of those views, such as his position that the Holocaust did not happen and that the state of Israel should be destroyed, have sparked international fury and have made his trip here to attend the United Nations General Assembly session contentious even before it starts.

"Usually, you go to these sites to pay your respects," Ahmadinejad said in the interview. "And also to perhaps air your views about the root causes of such incidents."If you want to get your protest on today, check in a Atlas Shrugs for places and times, in NYC and Washington, D.C.

Columbia: Nazi-friendly since 1933!
