ROOSTING CHICKENS -- Ward Churchill's Goose Is Cooked!
ICONOCLAST ^ | By Lin Anderson

Posted on 02/15/2005 3:22:34 PM PST by clintonbaiter

The controversy actually erupted in late January when students at Hamilton College in -- of all places -- Clinton, New York, protested a scheduled appearance by Churchill based upon assertions he had made in an essay entitled "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens."

"As for those in the World Trade Center," Churchill wrote, "well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break."

Leaving aside for the moment the burning question of whether "gimme a break" is proper professorial nomenclature, Churchill continued blithely smearing the dead by declaring that Trade Center workers were -- surprisingly enough -- "little Eichmanns," charged with greasing the wheels of an imperial -- well, you know the drill. If you don't know the drill, scan a few Students for a Democratic Society pamphlets from 1969 or thereabouts. The drill hasn't changed much, and nor has Churchill, judging from his official faculty photograph......

I think he should be sent as an unarmed leftist peace envoy to meet with "insurgents" where he can share his feelings for their plight. Of course he will have to go unescorted by the American military, Media or security.

He's a financially well off white American, why wouldn't the terrorists want to meet with him and dialog.

Although this article is humorous, there is a darker side to the Ward Churchills of the world and an academy that nurtures them.

I have a stepchild who attended UC Santa Cruz. She therefore received an education that was decidedly polemical. Consequently, to her and her boyfriend who also attended UCSC, there is simply no question that Israel is an evil intrusion on the natural rights of the Palestinian people and principally responsible for the turmoil in the Middle East, that global warming caused by human activity is beyond question, and that Fahrenheit 911 is a documentary worth seeing. To the best of my knowledge, she did not harbor such views before attending UCSC.

Some time ago she and I were engaged in discussion, and she repeated the canard that the United States distributed smallpox infested blankets to Indians on the Great Plains. Although I have long been a student of history, I had not heard that story and was frankly puzzled by it. Now, thanks to the controversy over Ward Churchill's 911 remarks and the articles about him that have been circulated on the Net, I know that he is the source of this despicable lie. I question whether this particular falsehood would have reached UCSC had it not borne the imprimatur of being the product of a professor at a major research university.

The moral here is that, when the academy ceases to be scholarly and instead becomes politicized in its staffing, structure, research, and course offerings, it ceases to produce scholars and instead produces ill-educated polemecists.

It has just got to be some sort of transformative experience to get the smackdown from AIM and an Honorary Priesthood from the Raelians all in the same week. Good lord, that's a rock-solid quinella on anybody's career track.

I love it when the fakes are exposed, much like Prof J Ellis of Mount Holyoke, who taught a course in Vietnamese and American culture.

Ellis drew heavily on his experiences as a platoon leader in Viet Nam.....the only problem was, He spent his three years in the Army teaching history at the US Military Academy at West Point.

When all this came to light in 2001, he was suspended for a year and gave up an endowed chair.

Many in the academic world didn't have a problem with a liar being in a position of influence with Ellis; I fear Churchill will also receive a slap on the wrist, and be allowed to continue as before

The smallpox infested blanket story gets around, and is to be found almost everywhere. It's very popular among the politically correct. Apparently the story goes back to the 19th century. It's the kind of thing that is difficult to disprove. (You can't prove a negative.) But even if it happened--which I doubt--it was not a common practice and it would have played a very small part in the diminishment of the Indian.

Indians were susceptible to various European disaeases, which often produced deadly epidemics among them. That was simply bad luck, not deliberate policy.

Human history all over the world is a history of migrations, invasions, and population displacements. Until modern times it was part of the normal course of events.

Should we blame the Chinese or the Arabs for the Black Death, which wiped out maybe half the European population in the 14th century? There really isn't much point. It's better to get on with it and deal with the situation, instead of whining.

Not really in this case. We have eyewitness accounts by the people that were there. Here is a link to a pretty good essay on the subject. http://hal.lamar.edu/~browntf/Churchill1.htm
