Although I don’t like wasting my time or breath on discussing the rantings of a scumball like Ward Churchill, I think this article from Col. Bratton in the Hawaii Reporter sums up my views pretty well. It is quite ironic that the people at the University of Hawaii gave a standing ovation to a man who, by his own arguments, implied that those killed at Pearl Harbor in 1941 deserved to die.
"If Churchill's argument that 9/11 victims got what they deserved, then it goes without saying that the military and civilians killed in the Pearl Harbor massacre deserved to die too. “They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America’s global financial empire" -- the “mighty engine of profit” to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved -- and they did so willingly and knowingly." And, or course “they” supported the capitalistic bastions of American and the American way of life."
"Taking Churchill's twisted logic and applying it to the current world today, I wonder if the students, professors and Hawaii public understand that “Auntie Mahealani” should die since she has a 401 K (as does a majority of Americans) and after all, she supports our troops in the current war against the sworn enemies of our nation. Yes, Auntie, you’re wrong, you support the American way of life, you deserve to die, and the terrorists are justified."
It's unbelievable to me that this guy is getting all this attention - and he's loving every minute of it. Standing ovations - how sickening.
