Lawmakers denounce Churchill

Churchill has a right to free speech but taxpayers do not have to subsidize his views... The Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union... legal director Mark Silverstein said,"Certainly the First Amendment protects his ability to write freely and speak freely, especially when the writing in question occurred outside his classroom duty."

Guess again, a-hole. Since the SCOTUS has been ruling that the majority view doesn't have constitutional protection of this kind, the majority has the right to pull the plug on some BS vomited forth by a hater of the majority.

That's "the political seduction of the law" that Robert Bork tried to warn you about. A-hole.

Hate speech is only when people who are non-liberals talk about the minority group du'jour. When liberals talk its called "valid criticisms".

In short, Hate Speech falls under the definition of "It means whatever the leftists want it to mean"

There is special circle of Hell for the likes of Churchill and his ilk: Which will it be? Circle 9B where he'll be lampooned for eternity by the acerbic heroes of a lower Manhattan Ladder Company as he turns crispy on the spit? Circle 9.9 where he wanders in a vast wasteland of xeroxed snapshots, endlessly looking at each face, only to find that each lost soul is actually him? Circle 99 where, as in Dante's vision, traitors go to the depths of the Abyss, it will be a..."round of rain, eternal, cursed, cold, and falling heavy, changing beat, unchanging quality"...only in Churchill's case it should be raining people and he can have a long chat with Herr Eichmann.

LOL. Excellent!!!

His faculty parking space?? Now you are hitting him in the ONLY place it hurts...

[ariamne]

Right you are. Is Nicholas DeGenova, who wished for a million Mogadishu's befall our troops in Iraq, still teaching at Columbia (or was it NYU)? Of course he is, and drawing a nice fat salary and pension. Universities are the last refuge for sixties terrorist radicals who spew their poison at generation after generation, unchecked.

Academic Freedom has come to mean "educated fool". People need to start voting with their wallets!!!! These "educated idiots" are, for the most part, holding impregnable positions given the protections that tenure offers. There needs to be more public exposure of these weasels.... but that's unfair to our furry friends.

[ariamne]

I'm with you and will expose them at every level I can. But the real tragedy is the effect they have on the malleable minds of 19, 20, and 21 year olds. We cannot afford another generation of useful idiots for the communist/islamic left.

[PaRebel]

I agree again! Don't write off the younger generation, though; Many of them see right through the drivel spewed by the likes of Churchill. They tolerate it as a survival mechanism. The problem is that these universities are "closed shops" so only "like minded" get hired and get tenure. Therein lies the big problem!!! How does one break THAT cycle?

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[ariamne]

You have posed the question that has haunted conservatives on campuses for years--exposing the Churchills and the DeGenovas of the academic world is a good start. As tenured profs die or retire, there must be a concerted effort to pressure the deans to hire a more balanced faculty. This effort has to come from parents, alumni/ae, students, community leaders and the media.

It is a bit of a pipedream, though.

Passed UNANIMOUSLY in a legislature now controlled by the Democrats.

Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News."

[Lesforlife]

I believe we do. They were recently invoked to keep protestors from being prosecuted for disrupting the Columbus Day parade in Denver.

Mr. Churchill was a part of that.

[Redbob]

"compared victims of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks to Nazis, saying his remarks were "evil and inflammatory."

Wouldn't that be hate speech? Doesn't Colorado have laws against hate speech?

It's not "hate speech" if it's addressed toward whites, you see.

[green iguana]

I don't know... Calling all the Jewish people who died in the WTC "little Eichman's" seems pretty hateful to me. And I'd venture a guess that the majority of the kitchen staff at Windows on the World was black.

[combatengr]

While the first amendment "protects free speech" the constitution also defines TREASON & treasonous actions. We are at war and during war time there are BOUNDARIES that are imposed by several articles. Where do we draw the line and when do we start holding people ACCOUNTABLE for their speech. Several states have passed hate crime legislation and this idiot appears to have broken several laws. If I could get my hands on this "professor" I would introduce him to a revised "board of education"(maybe send him to Guantanamo). For someone who is supposed to be educated why does he think that he wouldn't get death threats writing what he did? Its like pouring gas all over yourself and then smoking a cigarette. Real smart.

Hispanic.

Turns out Churchill is NOT and Indian, he's just a pathetic wannabe. I wonder if UC-Boulder will give him the hatche----, er, "axe" for lying on his resume. He was kicked out of the LEFT wing A.I.M. in the early 90's for his fabrications.

He also claimed to be in Vietnam, which looks suspicious. As a public relations officer. And another time as an airborne recon guy. Could he be Gloria Steinham in disguise?

see American Digest: Cherokee wannabe.

Fire this pinhead, it's not about freedom of speech it's about freedom to fire somoeone who has hurt your image.

This is the face of evil.....

How about "Ecofeminism?" It's really a subject taught at some universities.

Scary, isn't it?
