So anything which is a denial of human dignity (like celebrating Columbus because he was such a meanie to the Indians) is a violation of international treaties on human rights and thus illegal no matter what the first amendment says? What an idiot. I'm more scared of all the people cheering the village idiot like he was some type of wise philosopher and scholar.

I found the the applause he received very disturbing. These are college student, they should have learned the basics of the Constitution by now.

The vast majority of the people in the audience are students. Many college students are still being financially supported by their parents, immature, ungrateful, lack respect for authority and institutions, and are still acting-out and rebellious. They resemble pathetic, pathetic spoiled children than young adults. They are pitiful. Ward Churchill is the real deal idiot. He is disgusting and repulsive beyond belief and should be condemned and confronted whenever he is in a public forum.
