A University of Colorado professor who sparked a storm of controversy has resigned as chairman of the ethnic studies department. But the school says he will retain his teaching job.
In an essay written after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Ward Churchill likened the World Trade Center victims to Nazis and spoke of the "gallant sacrifices" of the "combat teams" that struck America.
The essay attracted little attention until Churchill was invited recently to speak at Hamilton College in upstate New York. Hundreds of relatives of September 11th victims protested the appearance.
The president of Hamilton College, while calling Churchill's comments "repugnant," said the school would not rescind its invitation.
In an interview with a Denver station, Churchill said he is not an advocate of violence. But he indicated he does not regret calling World Trade Center victims "little Eichmanns":
"Part of the job is to spark critical engagement with relevant issues, and I'd say I pretty thoroughly accomplished that."
Does any one else have anything on this particullarly repugnant Piece of SH*! ?
Laura Ingraham's been discussing him this morning.
This is kind of like the fact that gays can be Episcopal Priests, but not Bishops...
This piece of crap can be a professor, just not the Department Chairman...
Everyone withhold all donations to the college and he will be dropped like a used kotex.
I hope this "professor" resigned his position completely, and not just as the chair.
How dare he support an act of mass murder!
I bet he voted for the Kerry/Bin Laden ticket . . .
Should be deported back to Iraq and let him live the life he seems to prefer and not be given tax dollars for his salary at the University.
FoxNews was reporting on this last night....maybe on O'Riley, I don't remember now. But this communist should tuck his tale and run. Or the school should kick his butt all the way to the curb.
This guy is a champion in many corners of the liberal base. Boxer and Kennedy types think this guy speaks many truths. Plus he is a Native American so he gets a free pass.

Controversy festers on Hamilton campus again (Prof likens 9/11 victims to Eichmann)
I may be completely ignorant and off-base here (probably am) but I thought I read somewhere where this guy was a native American wanna-be instead of a true native American...Am I smoking crack here?
He should try Uncle Sam's newest Hotel the GITMO Hilton!
When will the HCUA (House Committee for Unamerican Activities) committee reconvine!! Teddy, John, Joe and the rest of the Commie's would be running for the border!!
I saw this nut on TV this morning. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Ward Churchill is a far, far removed - in body and spirit.
A caller on Laura Ingraham's radio show, who was I believe a student at UC-B, said this morning that this guy is just posing as Native Am., it's a hoax apparently.
See my post 17.
Who knows. Guys like this lie so much that nobody can tell what is truth or fantasy.
