More Radical Comments by Prof Weighed (Ward Churchill)
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."

Churchill, who recently resigned as chairman of the ethnic studies department but remains a tenured professor, said he would sue if he were dismissed.Too bad Ramsey Clarke is busy defending Saddam Hussein.

Isn't it telling that we have an anti-American professor, who is defended for his scandalous comments, yet, we have a military officer who is being crucified for stating that he enjoys shooting terrorists?
I truly hate and despise the left.

The more outrageous statements he makes, the more the leftists will love him.
The only reason he's in deep $#!% now is because he is a white guy who pretended to be a native American.

"I don't know if the people of 9-11 specifically wanted to kill everybody that was killed," he told Zahn. "It was just worth it to them in order to do whatever it was they decided it was necessary to do that bystanders be killed. And that essentially is the same mentality, the same rubric."
I'm not one who just calls a liberal professor stupid because he's liberal, but look at this guy's twisted logic. He is rationalizing why it's OK to kill innocents--there is no way around that. How proud the Left must be! DU must be overflowing with much love for this dude.

Really Professor? I must say, firing is hardly the appropriate response. If we hadn't become such a bunch of limp wristed sissies, we'd recognize that we already have the appropriate, perfectly legal response:
"18 USC 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

This guy is still a professor? The university should fire him immediately and damn the consequences. The legal fees would be worth it, to make a statement that this man is crying "Fire" in a crowded theater.

We need to keep him around, keep prodding him so he makes these statements , some of which wil show up in the Media, see if he can help bring awareness to the Sheeple that they might want to get concerned about the stealth war the Left is carrying on against this country.
I doubt that many of them will be found reading books like this (although I am thinking about sending a copy to a BIL, naaw, he'll never read it):
*****************************************************
Unholy Alliance by David Horowitz Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 089526076X Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2004) In this tour de force on the most important issue of our time, David Horowitz, confronts the paradox of how so many Americans, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, could turn against the War on Terror. He finds an answer in a political Left that shares a view of America as the Great Satan with Americas radical Islamic enemies. This Left, which once made common cause with Communists, has now joined forces with radical Islam in attacking Americas defenses at home and its policies abroad. From their positions of influence in the university and media culture, leftists have defined America as the root cause of the attacks against it. In a remarkable exploration of the Mind of the Left, Horowitz traces the evolution of American radicalism from its Communist past to its anti-war present. He then shows how this Left was able to turn the Democratic Party presidential campaign around and reshape its views on the War on Terror.
Horowitzs Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how todays radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony. Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account.

I saw Gov. Owens on Fox last night and from his comments I got the impression that they (Colo officials) are getting ready to can him--they just want to minimize the potential liability. John Gibson had two of the guy's students on Friday night during O'Reilly. They had been indoctrinated to the point that they could not put together a logical argument as to why they thought this fraud ought to be retained. It was really pathetic.

I found a link to his actual essay. It's much worse, than the way the articles present it. He wrote this shortly after the 9-11 attacks and is going all out defending the terrorists, and claiming they were fully justified to attack us.
"Some People Push Back"
On the Justice of Roosting Chickens
By Ward Churchill
http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/s11/churchill.html
"Of the men who came, there are a few things demanding to be said in the face of the unending torrent of disinformational drivel unleashed by George Junior and the corporate "news" media immediately following their successful operation on September 11.
A good case could be made that the war in which they were combatants has been waged more-or-less continuously by the "Christian West" now proudly emblematized by the United States against the "Islamic East" since the time of the First Crusade, about 1,000 years ago. More recently, one could argue that the war began when Lyndon Johnson first lent significant support to Israel's dispossession/displacement of Palestinians during the 1960s, or when George the Elder ordered "Desert Shield" in 1990, or at any of several points in between.
=======
It is really worth going and reading, or at least scanning the essay, to get the full flavor of how he is going on and on, blaming America and defending the terrorists.
To: Paul Atreides
It`s true. The left get away with this kind of crap day in and day out, but the second a guy from the right says something slightly offensive, we never hear the end of it.. Remember Professor Nicholas DeGenova from Columbia University? He said Jews have no claim to the holocaust, said he wished for a million mogidishus for our troops and called our troops pathetic. No suspension or anything and to this day he still has his job.

Not only does he deserve to be fired, but fire the people who hired him in the first place. Rot at the core spreads outward.

Mind you, the same morons we see on that campus, with their stupid "first amendment" signs, supporting Churchill, are most likely the same ones who do not want military recruiters allowed onto the campus.

Why don`t they fire him for just making pretend he`s a Native American? If some white guy went around seriously telling everyone he was black, isn`t that grounds enough to call for a psychiatric examination and a forced leave of absence at the very least? The guy is insane and is unfit for teaching.

This idiot claimed that he is American Indian, he put that on his application to the college when he was hired. All of the tribes have come forward and very clearly stated that he is not on their records, and is not Indian.
This needs to be a part of reason to dismiss him, along with all of his anti American and treasonous statements.
Let this come out in court. Prove the man the liar that he is. Make sure the truth and the fact that he is a known liar is spread throughout the college speaking circuit. If is is hired to speak, make sure the pickets inform every person who goes in to hear his obscene profanity that he is a known liar. Make sure he knows he will be publicly challenged by legitimate American Indians anytime and every time he makes this claim. This too is free speech, let's show him how it's done.
