New School Students Cheer Ward Churchill Speech

An ethnic studies professor from the University of Colorado, Ward Churchill, received a standing ovation last night from a crowd of more than 200 New School students after blaming the 2001 World Trade Center attacks on America's support of Israel and its sanctions against Iraq in 1996.

In a two-hour speech at the New School titled "Sterilizing History: The Fabrication of Innocent Americans," delivered without notes, Mr. Churchill traced what he called a pattern of mass murder as American foreign policy from the time of the country's inception to the events of September 11, 2001, which he said the country was essentially asking for.

Mr. Churchill also called the president of the New School, Robert Kerrey, a former senator of Nebraska, a "mass murder and serial killer to boot" for having served in Thanh Phong, Vietnam. Mr. Churchill also served in Vietnam, an act for which he said he has spent the rest of his life apologizing.

Mr. Churchill received cheers from the audience for comparing Mr. Kerrey to the serial killer Charles Manson. "That's who you've got moral equivalency in the president's chair at this institution," Mr. Churchill said. "How about a cage rather than a president's suite?"

"is about as difficult as finding an alien abductee at a rural trailer park."






Bigotry is interesting to watch.

Ward Churchill and those leftist pukes who cheered him should just shut up.

[popdonnelly]

Are any of those birds actual students?

[tophat9000]

Funny Ward Churchill would be so down on Israel ...I mean weren't the Jew the first tribe of people run off there sacred land by European empire (the Romans)....Ward... Israel is just another sovereign triable reservation... what your problem?

[mallardx]

Why yes, that has happened!

Mr. Churchill's critics call him a symbol of academic free speech gone wrong and an ethnic fraud. His Native American ancestry has been called into question by some who think he is not of Native American descent, but is exploiting a culture that is not his own to propagate his politics.

"He exploits their culture and has never done anything for their groups," a documentary filmmaker, Grant Crowell, who is making a film on Mr. Churchill titled "Hate U: The Politics of Teaching Hate," said. "Someone like Ward Churchill totally manipulates academic freedom and identity politics."

Looks like the politics of hate pay very well.

[lawdude]

"Or like students in a German school during WWII. "Hate the Jews!""

Well, he claims he's an injun. Hows 'bout we start hating injuns.

[Jack Hammer]

Whatever floats your boat. Or space ship.

I don't get why he gets so much attention. I attended a popular liberal arts college in NY back in the late 1980s and he isn't unusual at all by those standards. I knew many professors who were a lot like him, and that was years ago. If anything, it's worse now.

Churchill got into hot water when he called the victims of 911 'little Eichmanns.' Seems to me that the clowns who applaud Churchill are just 'little Ward Churchills.'

In fact, Ward Churchill is a 'little Ward Churchill' too.
