Top state and University of Colorado officials say more radical comments by professor Ward Churchill calling for the United States to be put "out of existence" and saying that more "9/11's are necessary" should be included in a review of whether to fire the professor.
Churchill, who is under fire for comparing World Trade Center victims to a top Nazi, made the comments in April in Satya magazine, a Brooklyn-based monthly publication that promotes animal rights and social justice.
University officials said they are gathering all of Churchill's writings, interviews and statements to determine whether he violated his terms of employment.
Regent Michael Carrigan said the interview should be included in the review.
"These additional statements concern me, and I condemn anyone who thinks violence is productive," Carrigan said. "I hope that chancellor (Phil) DiStefano includes these statements in his investigation."
CU-Boulder spokeswoman Pauline Hale said the school soon will determine which materials will be included in the review and set the standards that will be used to judge whether Churchill should be disciplined.
The Satya comments have prompted Gov. Bill Owens to renew calls for Churchill's dismissal.
"It's amazing that the more we look at Ward Churchill, the more outrageous, treasonous statements we hear from Churchill," Owens said. "Churchill has clearly called for violence against the state, and no country is required to subsidize its own destruction. That's what we're doing with Ward Churchill."
In the question-and-answer interview, Churchill is asked what should happen to America. "I want the state gone: Transform the situation to U.S. out of North America. U.S. off the planet. Out of existence altogether."
Another question: What are the solutions to U.S. misdeeds? Churchill answers in the interview: "One of the things I've suggested is that it may be that more 9/11's are necessary."

Yes the comments should be included in the review of this nut and he should be hanged.
A liberal university discovers it has a treasonous anti-American agitator in its midst. What a shock.
I think Zell Miller said it best, "I miss the day when you could challenge a person to a duel"
I bet the left is now getting terrified because ALL their wacko speeches and writings over the years SHALL now come back to haunt them. How much more is being mined?
How many students who have been wronged by leftist professors REMEMBER where the essay skeletons lie? I bet there are more than a few conference videos out and about.
Come on folks! How many other such "professors" are out there just waiting to be exposed?
50% of liberal academia?
I miss the day when a court of law would accept the Texas Defense. "They needed kill'n"
But do they have writings we can expose?
All together, it may be enough to can him.
I personally would concentrate on the lies rather than the agitation. It avoids the whole "free speech" controversy - specious as that is.
Please let this be the first shot in the war to bring academia down.
Would the few who defend this "professor" on "free speech" grounds think the same thing if he was tauting the Klan's white supremacy or Hitler's Nazism? Doubt it.
I think this guy has officially crossed the line, and if he hasn't crossed a line that line needs to be drawn. This goes beyond Democrat and Repulican, to praise the 9/11 terrorists as gallant and claim that America should be struck several more times is no different than counting yourself among Al Qaeda. He certainly should no longer be a Professor at an American school. I personally think his citizenship should be revoked and he should be deported.
Amen and sound the alarm! This, after defeating terrorism, should be our top priority.
Did you see John Kasich's "Heartland" tonight? I wasn't watching, but was listening from the kitchen.
He was interviewing someone about the Churchill case and he said he had some news that just came in.
According to Kasich, Churchill was involved in a sex-harrassment case several years ago. I think he said he was terminated and then sued UC to get his job back. He not only got reinstated, but received a $440,000 award.
Have any of you heard that?!
Let me throw in the complete and utter destruction and replacement of the UN.
I didn't see that, I was on the 'puter LOL.
I didn't see that, I was on the 'puter LOL.
what happened to all those well trained , fired up militias
everyone was so worried about back in the 80's ?
did they all get too old and no new recruits?
now retired to comfortable sofas , watchin the SuperBowl
rather than running thru the swamps and the bushes....
seems like people like that would have alot more than
black helicopters to focus on these days if they were
still around.
