There likely will be no SWAT teams on the roof of OISE (Ontario Institute for the Study of Education) when the controversial Ward Churchill delivers his address there tomorrow.

In fact, the controversial Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado and former Director of the American Indian Movement in Colorado, seems to draw more yawns than protests when he’s headed for Canadian soil.

The man who called 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns", commands $5,000 plus expenses out on the speakers tour.

Can you identify the real Indian?

[popdonnelly]

The guy's a lying jerk. Where's the controversy about that?

[Inspector Kemp]

Good. Keep him there.

[Wiseghy]

"expel Churchill pronto, or we'll level Toronto".

When blithering idiots enter the room, and their moronic pronouncements become more ranting each succeeding minute, eventually they cease to be controversial and start becoming self caricatures. Eventually, a self caricature becomes boring.

"...Churchill thus represents the reductio ad absurdum of the contemporary university's willingness to subordinate all other values to affirmative action. When such a grotesque fraud - a white man pretending to be an Indian, an intellectual charlatan spewing polemical garbage festooned with phony footnotes, a shameless demagogue fabricating imaginary historical incidents to justify his pathological hatreds, an apparent plagiarist who steals and distorts the work of real scholars - manages to scam his way into a full professorship at what is still a serious research university, we know the practice of affirmative action has hit rock bottom ..."
