Mr. Brown is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Lamar University. At the height of the controversy over Ward Churchill the media repeatedly cited Brown's work, which concluded that Churchill "has committed research fraud, and very possibly committed perjury as well." In an article Brown published on his faculty website, he presented evidence that Churchill falsely claimed that the US Army distributed infected blankets to spread a smallpox epidemic among the Mandan people in 1837: "My goal here was to show how and why Churchill engaged in such blatant fraud, and why no one has challenged him on it until now."

Even DU is backtracking on Churchill today with the new charges of plagiarism coming from the woman in Nova Scotia who she said threatened him with a midnight call or whatever. I'm sure that those lefties who stood so firmly for him even last week are regretting it today.

Funny, this is when Farr was just beginning to study what smallpox was.

...Bellesiles’s initial interlocutors may have been amateurs driven by their political opposition to his thesis...

Actually, the brunt of the criticism of Bellesile's work came from a fellow historian that studied Bellesiles's book and found fatal errors. It was his work and persistence in the face of a ferocious backlash from his left-wing peers that eventually brought Bellesiles down.

"Churchill is under attack from the right for likening victims of the World Trade Center attack to Adolph Eichmann, the notorious Nazi implicated in genocide. . ."

The adjective 'notorious' seems to pale in describing a man who implemented the 'Final Solution' to exterminate millions of Jews. . .but perhaps I am being too picky re this singular word; which could as easily apply to say; those who lead the FBI's 'most wanted list'. . .

. . or .perhaps it is the use of just 'implicated in genocide'that is more the problem here. . .

Ward Churchill as the carny in the dunking booth, who hurls insults at the crowd, and then howls with outrage when he gets soaked. LOL!! Thats exactly what I think of him.

Of course he is. Its one thing if he insults the people who give him his paycheck as "Little Eichmanns." That's arguably free speech. On the other hand, its a different matter if he plagiarized someone else's work and passed it off as his own. That means Ward Churchill is an academic fraud. And yes, he deserves to lose his job for the simple reason that a bad choice has consequences. Harry Stonecipher lost his job at Boeing for much less than Churchill stands accused of.
