Well here it is. First of all, let me apologize that this professor teaches at my alma mater. Secondly, you might want to bring a barf bag and a punching bag to work out your feelings when you read this essay.

That said, I thought it would be interesting to delve into the mind of a left-wing American hating wacko.

You may be happy to know that he is currently facing charges of research misconduct (plagiarism, misuse of others’ work and outright fabrication) which, if proven, means he faces university sanctions. There are also allegations that Churchill misrepresented his ethnicity as a Native American in order to gain credibility and attract an audience for (his) scholarship. All in all, an outright scumbag.

Enjoy. Ward Churchill's Essay
 
Ward Churchill: Socialist intellectual midget

I have read his essay; it shows his true colors. It also shows the administration of Univ. of Colorado's true colors.

Churchill is unqualified for the tenure track position he holds. A Ph.D. is the norm for a person to be offered a tenure track position; Churchill holds a master's degree, which are a dime a dozen in the world of academia.

He pawns himself off as being of Native American ancestry, which he is not. If he were, this might carry some weight in qualification for the position he holds.

So exactly what, in the enlightened eyes of the administration of Univ. of Colorado, qualifies him for a position of guaranteed lifetime employment at his current pay rate of over $114,000 per year?

1: He is a dyed in the wool socialist.

2: He hates everything about America.

3: He hates the free enterprise system, which has made America the envy
of the world.

4: He hates the Christian religion, which America was founded upon.

5: He hates the conservative political movement, which in spite of its
shortcomings, has brought America closer to the ideals of its Founders.

6: He harbors a special hatred for the men and women who put on the
uniform of the United States, leave their families and VOLUNTARILY
place themselves in the path of enemy bullets, bombs and missles to
fight the terrorists who would kill us all simply because we are Americans.

7: He hates with a blind rage George W. Bush, who humbles himself before
God to ask for guidance from the Almighty in leading this nation.

8: He hates the "stingy and greedy United States" (UN head Kofi Anan's words) that gave $350 billion in Tsunami relief - the same U.S. that gives more foreign aid and disaster relief than any other nation in the world.

In other words, the fact that he is a socialist , and a political bigot who hates America and everything America stands for uniquely qualifies him in the eyes of the administration of the Univ. of Colorado.

Anyone who taks exception to the above eight points has to go no farther than Churchill's own writings to verify his hatred of America and his love of socialism. He is exposed for what he is BY HIS VERY OWN WORDS.
If you don't like what I have to say, I apologize for nothing; I merely report the facts.

Guaranteed lifetime employment and a $114,000 plus per year income... Once again, one who has the most to be grateful to America for bites the hand of the nation that has made possible his prosperity.

Just one question, Mr. Churchill: Exactly what did the 8th graders on board the jet that was crashed in to the World Trade Center do to deserve that fate?

Apparently being born an American citizen was "crime" enough.
 
yes i did. i found what was claimed to be 'the original essay', apparently they say that its been edited and cropped or whatever to twist what he said.

:rolleyes: whatever.

so in his original one, he makes absolutely no distinction in any of those who died in the towers, only saying that they either knew they were in the business of causing harm to third world countries and didnt care, or said they didnt know but knew anyways (more or less, i am generalizing here).

then he came out with some statement saying that he meant only SOME of those who died fell into that category.

and when he made his appearance on bill mahers show (which by the way BM absolutely kissed his rectumus maximus) he wouldnt budge one bit, not even when confronted by a brother of one who died in the towers.

i wonder if i could get a fancy title of 'professor' and get paid lots of money. after all, i can oxygen steal just like that nimrod does.
 
That man is vermin. An absolute coward and hypocrite no less for living in such an evil country. He should move to afganistan and see how he like that "way of life". What a *&^*&^&*^jerk!
 
I've read a lot of liberal stuff. I even read MichaelMoore.com once in awhile (NOT because I'm a fan).

That's the most offensive, insane thing I've ever read. Before reading that, the fact that he lied about being even part Indian was the most annoying thing about him.

CU is my alma mater too. I remember a lot of liberal nuts, but no one who would write something like that.
 
Ward Churchill is a grandiose POS! A left wing loser who's a legend in his own mind. An America bashing buffoon, liar, and cheat. This disgusting dirt bag has the title, professor?? By all that is holy, this excuse for a human being should be pushing a shopping cart and begging for money at freeway on ramps rather than pulling down $114K a year of TAXPAYER funding. His new title, Pukemeister!

Yep.

I just hope people realize that Mr. Churchill and his views are overwhelmingly supported and echoed by most of what pass for professors today. Twenty years ago for that matter.

I guess he (and his fellow vermin) don't see the irony in that if what he (and his fellow vermin) said about this country were the least bit true, that he (and his fellow vermin) would be little more than a dark red stain in some dirt on a back road somewhere.

Such is life. :rolleyes:
 
From time to time I scan the program listings of FSTV, a satellite channel known for its leftist/marxist slant, much worse than NPR. So when the WC interview came up I watched it. (I advise everyone here to do the same with the idea of understanding just what your enemies are doing.)

WC is an articulate bright man who is well read and who expresses his opinions well. I disagree with him but he is an enemy and not a coward. Big difference.

In a way it is sad we live in the US and not the pre-columbian world of his wet dreams because his scalp would look very impressive on someone's lodge pole. :(

Provided no one got a look at the rat that was once underneath it! :D


I like your thinking though. :D

Until I read the article in its entirety I would have agreed with you, having seen a lot of interviews with him in Colorado. And I'm still of the "I disagree with what you say but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it" frame of mind overall.

But even though Charles Manson was intelligent and sometimes articulate and was very good at convincing people to join in his cause, it made him no less nuts and no less a psychopath.

I now put WC in that same category. He is a scary, dangerous man who has deluded himself into thinking that he is the only one that understands the world and America is the root of all evil.

Hitler was also an articulate and intelligent man who decided a particular group was the root of all evil. Not too crazy about HIM, either.
 
I am less concerned with the fact that he wrote that particular bit of garbage.

Than I am that he was the chairman of his dept at CU

This should settle once and for all the question of what is wrong with the education system.

Anyone that would even employ this nutcase should seriously be charged with misuse of public funds.

Where might one purchase tar and feathers :confused:
 
Oh- not all Universities are like this. Look at Texas A&M! We have our America-hating, liberal/socialist professor Corps, but they feel quite cornered by the rabidly conservative, very religious and patriotic student body. I love this place. Their conservatism sometimes makes me uncomfortable.

In my state-mandated diversity class, when the professor was droning on about how the world would be a nicer, more peaceful place if women were in charge, a woman jumped up and said "I guess you haven't heard about Golda Meir, Margret Thatcher or Indira Ghandi!"

On another occassion, when the prof said that homosexuality and bisexuality is a normal, natural and healthy lifestyle, over half the students walked out and that was a class of over 170 students.

While they sometimes make me nervous, I like that there is a counter-balance to the liberal propaganda that is always spewed from the lectern. I know of a few other Colleges too like Hillsdale College and some programs at many other schools aren't monopolized by liberals.

Can anybody else name a conservative college? I would be interested to know where they exist.

Apples and oranges. Manson was a small time psychopath.

I know you find it hard to believe but WC is spouting mainstream new age marxism. He is not a psychopath, he is one of ten thousand little starry eyed revolutionaries who have agreed that theirs is the one true path. He did not delude himseld, he was indoctrinated.

I don't know which is more scary, the fact that there are so many of them who have all agreed that thousands of years of judeochristian tradition, morality and history are obsolete or the fact that otherwise intelligent people view WC and his fellow travelers as being merely nutjobs.
 
Ok... lemmie make sure the bunker is sound before I step in here...

*verifying that there are no holes in the walls, or cracks, or any other infirmities*

Ok... I read through the essay. And I have to say, unfortunately, that there are QUITE a few places that the man is correct in what he's saying...

*ducks back to avoid lead rain*

Y'all done shooting now? BP up well enough?




While I agree with some of his points, the problem comes from the massively psychotic way he ties the whole thing together. It read like some of the conspiracy theories out there: that WE are to blame for everything that's gone wrong in the world (with the possible exception of the fall of man, but I think Ward's working on that one too). Yep... a couple good points, strung together with delusional rewriting of history, and now the man's famous.

And now he's under investigation, and might lose his position? Don't think for a minute that will stop him. He'll be back, supported by his "followers", and crying about how "the gooberment" cost him his job...
 
It is always dangerous and unproductive to generalize and stereotype as Fred Hansen does in his comments on university professors. Since I work as a professor I am personally insulted by Hansen's comment. Based on my experiernce over 30 years at four institutions, I can say without doubt that his opinion is dead wrong - saying that "most of what pass as professors today" are "vermin" that support Ward Churchill's opinions is about as true as saying that most gun enthusiasts or NRA members are ignorant psychopaths.

Your taking personal offense is your business, but the fact remains that Mr. Churchill isn't an anomaly, he isn't an adjunct professor in some backwater junior college, he is a department head at a major state university. With tenure for a little bow on top.

He didn't get there by accident, just as it was no accident that he was given his position without anything that could reasonably pass for credentials that would support said position. For every one of him, or his twin brother from a different mother Professor Bellesiles that make it to the big time, I've met a dozen or more who find the views they hold unchallenged by their colleagues. Even when those views are as extreme and unsupported as Mr. Churchill's.

I can count the number of currently working professors (that I am aware of) that don't share his views to one degree or another on one hand. And out of those I know of, none will ever achieve the sort of rank that Mr. Churchill has within the present system. Perhaps that is merely coincidence. I happen to think it isn't. Feel free to disagree.

Some examples then...

>As a whole, the American public greeted these revelations with yawns..

There were, after all, far more pressing things than the unrelenting misery/death of a few hundred thousand Iraqi tikes to be concerned with. Getting "Jeremy" and "Ellington" to their weekly soccer game, for instance, or seeing to it that little "Tiffany" an "Ashley" had just the right roll-neck sweaters to go with their new cords. And, to be sure, there was the yuppie holy war against ashtrays – for "our kids," no less – as an all-absorbing point of political focus.<

He IS right here. We SHOULD have paid more attention to what was going on with the war, than what little things occupied our thoughts. Maybe not thinking of "Iraqi tikes", but at least paying attention to the concept...

>...There is no reason, after all, to believe that the teams deployed in the assaults on the WTC and the Pentagon were the only such, that the others are composed of "Arabic-looking individuals"...<

Dead on...

>To the contrary, there is every reason to expect that there are many other teams in place, tasked to employ altogether different tactics in executing operational plans at least as well-crafted as those evident on September 11, and very well equipped for their jobs. This is to say that, since the assaults on the WTC and Pentagon were act of war – not "terrorist incidents" – they must be understood as components in a much broader strategy designed to achieve specific results. From this, it can only be adduced that there are plenty of other components ready to go, and that they will be used, should this become necessary in the eyes of the strategists. It also seems a safe bet that each component is calibrated to inflict damage at a level incrementally higher than the one before (during the 1960s, the Johnson administration employed a similar policy against Vietnam, referred to as "escalation").<

Again, correct...

Those are the only points I'm going to pull out: I REALLY don't want to wade through all the conspiracy theorist BS to pick more out. Which was kinda the point of my original post: there ARE correct statements in there, but they're threaded together with black helicopter bull...
 
pkalisz welcome to TFL.

I see you've met Fred. He's quite harmless as long as you don't have any food in your pockets or backpack. :D


Just curious, what is your field of expertise? I'd bet a wooden nickel it isn't women's studies or social anthropology. If we can look for a minute at out own black helicopter mentality we have to see that the liberal arts environment is much more friendly to the left than the right, but there are still some bastions of normality in academia.

VERY true. In fact I'll go so far as to say that it is difficult to find the likes of Churchill within the engineering/science/math community.

Liberal Arts his type is still a nickle a dozen.
