“The so-called ‘victims’ of 911 formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America’s global financial empire…and they did so both willingly and knowingly. If there was a better, more effective way [than incinerating them or forcing them to leap to their deaths] of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I’d really be interested in hearing about it, y’know?”* | |

You have to figure that weapon wasn’t loaded, otherwise the little pansy poseur would’ve shot himself in the foot.
Ward Chruchill’s Beret: “Christ this guy is so lame. What I would do to be on Billy Jack’s head. That gun he’s holding? It’s a squirt gun. Real guns make him wet his pants like a little girl. Where’s that grand kleagle hood? I thought him and I had a thing going….”
Isn’t Churchill a member of the Hekawi tribe? Because he looks like he’s saying, “Hey – where the Hekawi?”
Wow….flashback, man.
Pseudo retro 70’s academic wanna-be revolutionary quasi-military ‘it get’s the hippie chick hot, man’ garb.
Feh.
The 60’s/70’s radicals’ career path: rob a few banks, kill a couple of cops, work on MA/Phd while in the joint, buy or trade sex for a pardon, get great job in academia.
I knew a young woman who married an old geezer radical (he shall remain nameless). I always knew she had a taste for the exotic, but please! Anyway, they caught up with him, he’s in prison, and she’s alone with a couple of kids, stuck having sex in the day room.
huh. ‘tits’ I haven’t heard that used since, well, when Billie Jack really was around.
We at protein wisdom strive for accuracy in period detail.
Jaysus Christ is Reynolds ever angry. I’ve been an Instapundit reader since 8/01, and I have never seen him lay the hammer down like that before. In fact, I’ve never really seen him lay the hammer down, period – it’s something he usually leaves to other bloggers. When someone as equanimitous as Reynolds finally pulls a Billy Jack, snaps, says “Fuck it,” and calls people like Churchill the authentic face of the Left…man, that means you’ve pushed a record breaking point.
Jeff, I think it’s time for you to hunt down Teddy Kennedy for another interview. Don’t you think he’s due?
“There was a time when the Left opposed fascism and supported democracy, when it wasn’t a seething-yet-shrinking mass of self-hatred and idiocy. That day is long past, and the moral and intellectual decay of the Left is far gone.”
Reading that coming from Glenn Reynolds would be like watching Mr. Rogers snarl into the camera “I’m through sharing the stage with those cocksucker puppets!”
Poseur punk slime.
It’s Che! Oh, no. It’s just Ward trying to look like Che. Rent-a-Radical. Who is this moron?? Is he French? He looks French. Only with a Gun. Wait. No. The French have been known to brandish weapons, also. Probably to better effect. Rampant assholery.
Glenn slices like a fuckin’ hammer. Word.
Bill’s Brain: Christ, man, don’t you ever have an original thought?
“Ward, I’m worried about … well, you.”
Laugh it up while you still can, Repugs. ‘Cause when the Revolution comes and Ward Churchill is in charge…
Oh, wait…um…
“Ward, weren’t you a little hard on the Beaver last night?”
Heh heh heh heh, he said “hardon.”
Jeff, did those tits have vodka-glazed nipples?
I’ve seen this guy before. In Wikipedia, he’s the illustration for ‘poseur’. As those cowboy Frenchies say ‘Big beret, no Charolais”.
Ooh…a liberal college professor at CU Boulder – now that’s edgy. Really, man. They’re so brave being whacked-out lefties with skunk-eaten brains in their little bubble inside another bubble and like, out there, speaking truth to power and stuff.
Myself and my entire painting class (at CU Boulder) were treated to a first-rate spectacle of complete professorial unhingement last week on the occasion of Mr. Bush’s inaguration. It was truly a thing of beauty. Lasted a full five minutes and was done under the ruse of ‘opening up a forum where everyone can feel safe sharing what’s on our minds about current events” (that’s pretty much verbatim, before he proceeded to freak out!) I was totally pissed at first but then I realized he MUST be a Karl Rove plant since afterwards my conservative instincts felt doubly galvanized. Jeff, as a CITIZEN JOURNALIST I demand you uncover this sinister plot!
I think the sinister plot is called tenure.
Hmmm, this could be interesting. Maybe he’s thinking he could start up his own blue-state, white Liberal, Michael Mooreish “Symbionese Liberation Army” and kidnap, oh, I don’t know, maybe Paris Hilton and make video tapes instead of robbing banks for money. Michael Moore could maybe film the whole thing, (just like those Paris Match photographers tagged along with the terrorists who tried to shoot down the DSL cargo jet at Baghdad Airport) and title it “MINUTE MEN INSURGENCY! Natural Born Losers” or some such thing.
Viva la Revolucion! But another order of nachos first, eh?
All organic fair-trade nachos only, Tim, by Boulder city ordinance.
How does this guy get off being called a Prof? All the profiles I’ve found out there show mere BA and MA in “Communications” (ooohhh…aaahhh). Now I’ve only attended seven accredited institutions of higher learning, but at every one of those he would merely be an ‘instructor’ or ‘adjunct instructor’. What a poseur!!!
The fact that he’s head of the ethnic studies department tells you everything you need to know about C.U. Even AIM thinks this guy’s an A**hole. Classic!!
None of that asterick stuff here, Darren. When we at protein wisdom mean asshole, we say asshole.
AS SOUTHPARK CITIZEN JOURNALISTS WE DO NOT FEAR THE POTTY MOUTH!
thanks for the m*mm*ries
Sorry Jeff, those must have been my balls that were stuck in my throat. It won’t happen again. He’s still an asshole.
Interestingly – or predictably – enough, all of the descriptions of Mr. Churchill focus on his “activism.” Not one mentions his scholarship. Apparently being a scholar is not a requirement to be a “professor of ethnic studies.” Or am I missing something?
I thought Billy Jack generally limited his discussions to his foot, where he’s going to put it, and what you can do about it.
All pose, no pecker
Jeez, Albertgator, you sure have a quaint notion of what a person’s qualifications for professorship are in this day and age. Why all the focus on so-called “scholarship”?
Racist pig. The Campus Police have been alerted about your Hate Crime.
Me: A fake Indian is a professor at CU’s Dept. of Ethnic Studies ? I always thought it was a bogus field of study, but hiring phonies to teach it, too ? These guys are really secure in their delusions.
Billy Jack: That’s heavy, man. Being an Indian is not a matter of blood… it’s a way of life. So I’m gonna introduce this professor to my constant companion.
My boyfriend just got a Liberal Arts degree in Philosophy from CU Denver, and is deeply embarrased that this guy is at all connnected to his degree. The level of academic dishonesty in this thing is truly vomitous. With the exception of the one-sentence paragraphs, most of which aren’t even complete sentences, there is at least one logical fallacy or direct falsehood in _every_ paragraph in the thing.
The president of the university seems to think that it is sufficient to state that these opinions are Churchill’s, and do not represent the university, completely ignoring the complete lack of academic ethics. As most people are aware that this guy is a professor at CU, and many are aware that he is actually the chair of a department, that’s not enough. His bad behaviour reflects badly on everyone who has a degree from CU, and decreases the value of those degrees.
On that basis, we are serously considering a class action suit against the university requiring that he be fired and publicly denounced so as to repair the damage done by this blivet-head. Before people go off about the suit and tort reform, the _only_ things we plan to ask for (if we do it) are that he be ditched and recovery of costs. No stupid exorbitant punitive damages.
Good luck, Quinn, but I’d be surprised if you succeed. Ward Churchill’s thinking is not too far out of line with a significant portion of the professoriate; they just don’t have the balls to say so.
After the attack on 911, here are the first three comments I heard from professors—within one hour:
1.”I just hope that if we find out who did it, that that little twerp in the White House doesn’t try to take revenge on them.”
2, “I certainly feel safer knowing George Bush is pushing a missle defense system, don’t you?”
3. “This is all our own fault. We’re just getting paid back for years of killing innocent people abroad.”
You folks outside of academia have no idea how far this rot goes. I’d bet Glenn Reynolds has probably known about the rot for a long time.
The nice thing about the lawsuit (again, if we do it) is that it doesn’t matter what he’s saying, only how he’s saying it. He could be saying that the sea is salt, and it would still not be acceptable for him to publish a paper with so many breaches of academic honesty asserting that. This paper has gotten massive attention _because_ he’s a liberal weenie, and the fact that he’s not being held to a basic standard of academic honesty implies that none of the students at CU are, either, which impugns their reputation and devalues their degrees. Given that they paid a specivic level of tuition in the expectation that they would receive a degree of specific quality and reputation, that means that by not squashing this moron, the university is in breach of implied contract. The opinions of the other faculty don’t come into it, only the opinions of a judge or jury. I’m hoping judge- they’re better with separating the issue from the wrapping. Which is why I assume that the university will try for a jury, which in turn is why we are looking for a native american lawyer, preferably a semi-activist one, to cancel that part of the argument as much as possible.
Doesn’t this guy know that Revolution headgear changed to kaffiyehs and hoods years ago? Nothing worse than pretender little Marxists inhabiting the noxious classrooms of our ivory towers who can’t keep current with really simple anti-establishment fads and fascistic fashion. I mean, that’s what they get paid for.
Forget it, Quinn. It will cost you more money and more time then you can ever dream. And, you will still lose.
May I suggest that you start researching donors to the university and contacting them? Also, check to see if he is in violation of any of the university’s codes and regs. Research the interpretation of those codes and regs, too. Get hard proof that he is in violation and start filing formal complaints. *Insist* that the university follows it’s own procedures in handling the complaints, because they won’t. Also, check to see who his backers are at the university, i.e., who is protecting him. Check on what he brings to the university to keep him around, i.e., I’m sure the bucks, grants, and high scholarship is not rolling in because of his presence on the faculty. At least, I hope not!
This has got to be one of the scariest threads I’ve ever read on the net. I can’t believe how many of you people actually remember Billy Jack. Didn’t Big Brother cast that movie down the memory hole and burn everything associated with it? Until now I thought I was the only one who remembered the wild horses and the alternative school and the snakes and “I just go berserk …” and aiiieeee…
Eek! Make that “. . .are not rolling in.”
CJ, as a fellow citizen journalist, I will not tolerate you ridiculing my life – some of us lived Billy Jack.
Lefties are always talking about a “revolution”. Someone had clips of interviews of protestors at the inaguration and there was lots of talk about violence.
But who on the left will do the fighting? Most of the firearms in this country are owned by red staters, and those on the left who do own guns probably don’t know how to use them. Throw in the fact that the majority of the military is conservative, and you have the makings for a very one-sided, unsuccessful revolution.
They’ll do the fighting by waving signs and chanting slogans. They’ll bring down the establishment by refusing to play the man’s game. They’ll overthrow the oppressive order by living free.
They’ll grow old and die and their grandchildren will exchange uncomfortable looks and change the subject whenever anyone asks about them.
Ward Churchill in his very own statement says his words are being twisted to the opposite of what he meant … and then proceeds to confirm that we are not misunderstanding him as he repeats his amazingly stupid and offensive statements.
Asshat.
A local Denver news program ( the Fox affiliate ) also reports that Ward Churchill claims to have received over 100 death threats.
Guess the New Yorkers got word. I swear I’ve not suggested anything more than the traditional hot tar, feathers and a rail.
Oh, and the despicable little coward has resigned as department chair.
Never worked in academia, but I’ve read all the novels of David Lodge and James Hynes, and drawing on this expertise I suspect Churchill became department chairman for the usual reason—no one else wanted the job. And although I can’t prove it, I suspect he’s a deep-cover Republican operative, working for Karl Rove. I mean, he’s just TOO perfect!
Hey gang…I just found this website while googling for info about the aforementioned Mr. Churchhill. I will say that I am in agreement with about 99.99% of all the comments here…aahhh hell, ok…100%…heh. I attended high school in the northern Denver suburb of Northglenn, but I never went to school at C.U., however I am enraged by this man’s rediculous comments. I am not enraged as someone who once lived in the neighborhood of C.U., but as an American. I’m more than enraged, I’m embarrassed. How does someone so stooopid get called a professor?
My own life observations about things like this is that those INSIDE acedemia have problems understanding the decisions and actions by those OUTSIDE acedemia, just as those of us on the outside have problems understanding those on the inside. Case-in-point…just for kicks, ask your buisiness instructor/professor/whatever you call them when he/she last had a real job out in the work force where the priciples they teach must be understood and applied, and if they are such a bloody expert, then why aren’t THEY out there busting THEIR asses for the American economy? Ok, I know, I know…SOMEONE has to teach it…but you see my point, right?
The world in which we live is jammed full of unqualified experts, as well as educated fools. Somewhere in amongst all of this there is a balance…I hope.
I heard that Ward Churchill only has a bachelor’s degree from a little known college in Illinois. Where in Illinois? Where was he born, and who are his parents?
