WARD CHURCHILL: CAUGHT ON TAPE ADVOCATING TERRORISM (transcripts of audio)
Michelle Malkin ^ | 2/24/05

Posted on 02/24/2005 12:44:58 PM PST by freespirited

Transcript for Part I:

Question from audience: You mentioned a little bit ago, ‘Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago,’ that’s my question. And as a white man standing here in your midst from a fairly liberal/conservative/middle of the road background—and I tell people I’m so far left I’m coming up on the rigt—and I’d like you to respond to, why shouldn’t we do something and how could we move so they don’t see us coming?

Churchill: I’m gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn’t we do something and how do you you move so they don’t see you coming.

As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can’t find a single reason that you shouldn’t in a principled way—there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)—you know, often these things are processes. It’s not just an impulse. And certainly it’s not just an event. And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I’m not being flip and giving the simple answer, is: You carry the weapon. That’s how they don’t see it coming.

You’re the one…They talk about ‘color blind or blind to your color.’ You said it yourself.

You don’t send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action. You don’t send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action. Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker’s suit.

There’s probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there’s where you start.

Transcript for Part II:

If you are Arab, for example, you are automatically profiled as a potential terrorist. Period. And you can be asked to leave a plane because some Nordic-looking woman two rows down tells the stewardess she’s not comfortable with you being there—her presence makes her uncomfortable—why? Because it was Arabs who flew planes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. See. And that fact—she’s on an airplane and there’s an Arab and somehow psychologically it makes her uncomfortable so it’s very understandable that she not be asked to leave since she’s made it clear that she’s not going to be a very big risk to the flight, but rather the individuals sitting there doing nothing have to leave. And why by the way did it take Arabs to do what people here should have done a long time ago?

Transcript for Part III:

Question from audience: I’m backing up a step to the Twin Towers falling down, um, there’s been implications about how…well, the first thing I thought about when it down was ‘Oh [expletive], that plays right into what they want to do to us.’ Maybe you can follow up on that. [applause]

Churchill: Your first thought was, well, yeah, you put it pretty well, I’ll accept you at your word, your first thought was ‘Oh [expletive], that plays right into what they want to do to us.’

Well, then, welcome to the club! Welcome to the club along with 565,000 Iraqi children who were systemically starved and denied medical attention to death in less than 10 years while Madeline Albright goes on television on 60 Minutes no less, receives the number, and says yes, ‘I’ve heard it, we’ve decided it’s worth the cost.’

Welcome to the club with the rest of the world. A little bit. I don’t care if it plays into the hands of what they had in mind for you unless you’re doing something tangible to make it stop, what’s already being done to those people on the receiving end.

Why should you be exempt and immune? So instead of ‘Oh [expletive],’ right on. Right on.

And I’m trying to elicit some response. I want someone to take this up, because I know you all aren’t agreeing with me on this.

Transcript for Part IV:

Churchill on getting revenge for speeding tickets: …And I’m not really comfortable with, since I’m presenting no public hazard ever when I’m ticketed, can attest to that, we can take that further at some point tonight if you’d like to, if you’d like to challenge it, but I’m presenting no public hazard, I’m simply being asked to ante up to pay for my own repression. Not being comfortable with that, I have a rule of thumb: I smile very politely to the cop, take the ticket, look to see how much the fine is going to be, and before I leave that state, I make sure I cause at least that much property damage in state material before I go, so it’s a wash, boys and girls (laughter and applause).

This tenured professor is the epitome of what's wrong with higher education. He says whatever he wants in the name of academic freedom. What a shame.

This man is repugnant. But on the plus side, he lets the country see the ugly true face of liberalism. Let him talk. Let him alienate more from the left.

I would love a poster showing the U of Colorado with this idiot superimposed along with something regards to the athletic program. I want to make that institution of lower learning into a university for dunces.

He hides behind academic freedom and all the dupes and dopes at CU go right along with the charade. They are so convinced that any criticism of Churchill is an attack on their basic acamedic rights that they will cling to him for dear life, no matter how many crimes he advocates.

But then the president of Harvard suggests that maybe the discussion should be whether women would rather be mothers than engineers and academia goes MAD.

What a pathetic little world they live in.

Actually he, and other like him are the greatest asset we have. Given time they will bring about the destruction of the last bastions of lefty-lib tyranny - the courts and higher education.

The better players don't even bother wasting their time with NCAA Basketball. They just turn pro right out of high school.

How many people remember the Federal lawsuit filed against Colorado University (CU). The suit was filed by several women who said that they were sexually assaulted by CU football players and recruits. Rush was all over this.

During a deposition, a lawyer for one of the plaintiffs asked CU President Elizabeth Hoffman about an allegation that the team's former kicker (a woman) was called a c**t by one of her teammates. Specifically, she was asked whether the word c**t was filthy and vile.

In typical academic (especially academic administrative) fashion, Hoffman responded by saying that "It is all in the context of what--of how it is used and when it is used."


When asked, "Can you indicate any polite context in which that word would be used?" Hoffman answered, "Yes, I've actually heard it used as a term of endearment."

One wonders how many times she has applied this term of endearment to Churchill.

The following comment is from the "Save Ward Churchill" Website:

http://www.desconu.com/churchill

(A supportive comment starts with this)

"US intervention tends to slay innocent citizens and US globalization often neglects local inhabitants in pursuit of personal profits..." (Blah, Blah, Blah.....)

(And ends with this)

"Step out of society and think for yourself... I double dog dare ya."

Double dog dare me all you want, however, Phol Pot stepped out of society and ended up killing untold millions of innocent civilians.

Put Ward Churchill in charge and he'd be no different.

Obviously the tapes confirm this.

Just think about how many minds are manipulated every day, (young and old), by the CORPORATE CONTROLED MASS MEDIA. And yours would appear to be one of them. AWAKEN! And the TRUTH will set you free. TRUTH is stranger than reality.

Troll.

AWAKEN! And the TRUTH shall set you FREE. Truth is, that we are all being manipulated to believe something or other just so we can be manipulated even more by these instilled beliefs. That IS...until we WAKE UP

It's funny how we all see things so differently. I've watched Ward Churchill talk on cspan. There's a lot of truth in what he says, although he's so passionate about what he believes that he frames it too negatively. Sure, the US has invaded and manipulated other countries, but that is what countries do . It's not just the US that's greedy and blood thirsty. The real crime is that we're about the only country whose citizens don't know it. I think that's funny. People in other countries like Norway (who do our bidding) know all about our BS. We here in America are ignorant and kept in a bubble. A very comfortable bubble I might add. (unless your in the army)
