Churchill attacks essay’s critics University of Colorado president calls for calm
By Craig Gima cgima@starbulletin.com Ward Churchill, the outspoken Colorado professor who created a national uproar by comparing 9/11 victims to Nazis, told an overflow crowd at the University of Hawaii last night that he is the target of a right-wing strategy to attack academia.
"I was targeted because they thought I would be an easy target," Churchill told the crowd of about 800. "That was a mistake.
"It's not just an attempt to purge me," he said. "It's a purge of the academy."
The crowd was mostly sympathetic to Churchill, a University of Colorado ethnic studies professor. He was applauded more than a dozen times and was greeted at least three times with standing ovations.
Before the speech began, about a dozen members of a UH college Republican group protested.
"I never wanted to be a poster boy for academic freedom," Churchill said. "You can't give an inch. If you let this one down, you've lost it all."
Much of Churchill's speech was devoted to explaining and expanding on his essay written on Sept. 11, 2001, that called 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns."

LUCY PEMONI / STAR-BULLETIN University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill drew about 800 people to his speech at UH-Manoa last night -- plus a dozen protesters like these.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He said the theme of his essay and a later book was that the United States has been involved in violating international law and killing innocents and should not be surprised that some people would want to kill Americans -- the "chickens coming home to roost," as his essay is titled. He argued that the World Trade Center could be considered a legitimate target because it is a symbol of the financial power that allows the United States to flex its military might.
He said if you read his essay, he called the "technicians" in the World Trade Center "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, who actually did not kill any Jews but made it possible for the trains to run on time and for the Holocaust to take place.
It's obvious, Churchill said, that he did not mean to say children, janitors, firefighters and innocent bystanders were part of that group. Instead, he said, he was referring to investment bankers and others who make the killing of innocents by the U.S. military and U.S. policy possible.
Churchill did address the issue of his ethnicity, admitting that he is not Native American.
"Is he an Indian? Do we really care?" he said, quoting those he called his "white Republican" critics.
"Let's cut to the chase; I am not," he said.
His pedigree is "not important," Churchill said: "The issue is the substance of what is said."
He went on to explain that the issue of whether he is Native American has been blown up by sloppy reporting and reporters quoting other reporters.
His speech drew mostly positive reaction from those who attended. But Tyrone Hogenauer said he was disappointed.
"I thought he was going to talk on free speech," Hogenauer said.
Instead, Churchill talked about himself and attacked his critics the way they are attacking him, Hogenauer said: "It's a sad thing."
UH student Kirsten Chong said her professors assigned her to listen to the speech.
"He was humorous and he certainly didn't pull any punches," she said, adding that because she is native Hawaiian, she agrees with much of what he said.
the longer Churchill remains tenured and employed, the longer his colleagues protect him... the more clear and inarguable it becomes that American academe NEEDS purging.
And you're not now but rather the poster boy for academic rot.
[I am trying to figure out what motivates white people to condemn their own type?]
The Democratic party is full of self lothing whites like Churchill. It basically stems from guilt. They see the white man as the cause of all of the evil in the world. They beleive that in order to prove to minorities that they are not themselves racist, that they must first denouce their own race. I beleive that the term for this is "aracial".
But at some point, shouldn't self preservation kick in. Or do they think they would somehow be spared any backlash? I guess traitors usually do think that. Funny though, they are usually the first murdered. You'd think they'd catch on--

Then see how much "academic freedom" his fellow Marxists would allow him.
The people who vetted, hired, and tenured this obvious crackpot fraud should be purged before he is. The state of Colorado needs to follow up with a full investigation of the CU hiring and tenuring process to see how many other verminous frauds like this are also on the CU faculty and why they are there.
Wonder how The Jersey Girl, Kristen Braithaite, a fellow traveller, feels about her dead husband being called a "little Eichman"?? Does she nod in agreement because they both despise Geprge Bush???
"Hus du gezen in deine leiben, they darker than us. Woof!"
"Is he an Indian? Do we really care?" he said, quoting those he called his "white Republican" critics.
"Let's cut to the chase; I am not," he said.

Is he an Indian?
Nah. Just a liar.
Looks like the reporting was pretty good, they uncovered a purposeful bald faced lie.

Fake.. but accurate.
PRICLESS MAN PRICELESS - it's the new liberal mantra....fake but accurate
this is also priceless, Churchill has just handed the cause for his firing to his employers, what a smuck.....
he clearly was hired because he claimed he was native because his qualifications otherwise would not have cut it if he were not native, as it turns out he wasn't.......
clearly UC was looking for a nice token
Will someone fire this crapweasel already!
He exaggerated his service quite a bit but I've seen articles indicating that he actually was in the Army for, I believe, two years. That's the length of time a draftee would have served in the mid-60's.
While his "White Republican Critics" may not care this "American Indian Republican" is steamed.
I wonder if there is some way to sue him. Defamation of character or something.
Chief Sitting Bullsh*t.

Churchill = The not so Great Pretender.

What a propagandist. Don't you love his two-step? He attempts to make the controversy not about him but about a much larger issue, thus diverting attention from his lies and outrageous statements. And even when he admits he's lied (for years!) about his heritage, well, hey, it doesn't matter. We're supposed to pay attention to the substance of what the liar says and ignore his pesky lie. As Churchill would say, in one of his more lucid moments, "Yeah, right."
Check with the ACLU, you have a unique opportunity to put the ACLU into melt down mode, deciding what would be the proper politically correct course of action for them to pursue. I don't know if you could benefit monetarily, but reaction by the ACLU should provide enough humor to last for many years.
