The DUmmies have asked this poll question, “Is Ward Churchill wrong?” and, as expected, most of them answered in the NEGATIVE as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD. Is it really any surprise that the DUmmies overwhelmingly support the Nutty Professor? What is interesting is just how many other liberal/leftists out there have similar views as the DUmmies on Churchill. Churchill’s only “sin” to many liberals is that he spoke his heinous views out loud or didn’t hide it in the typical package of professorial mumbo jumbo as many other professors have done. As usual the DUmmies expressions of support for Ward Churchill are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent is in the [brackets]:

I personally am having trouble percieving exactly what he said that is wrong. I understand the emotional reactions to his words and ideas. But after setting aside the initial emotions I fail to find fault in his rhetoric.

[You have trouble perceiving that it is wrong to say that the office workers at the WTC deserved to die on 9-11 because they were “Little Eichmans” as Ward Churchill characterized them? Welcome to DUmmieland Morality.]

Geaux Prof. Churchill!!!

[The appropriately namedDUmmie Swamp Rat cheerleads the Nutty Professor.]

I think the things Antrhax Annie and a good number of Freepers say are much worse. I understand hyperbole to make a point--and his point is clearly that not only were the 9/11 victims complicit, we all are complicit in America's foreign policy--but I also understand that on the right you find outright hatred of anyone not 'lucky' enough to be born white and in the USA.

[DUmmie NewHampshireDem, a Ward Churchill wannabee.]

Uh, he IS white and was born in the USA. He claims to be 3/16 native American, though even this now seems to be in dispute.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I think he's right & I don't presume to tell anyone how to deliver their message !! I have felt for a long time now, that it takes the loud ones, the outrageous ones, the "extremists" to move the thinking of the 'average person'.

[Outrageous and extremists: that description fits the DUmmies perfectly.]

I say "GO, Ward Churchill" !!!

[Any doubt as to where DUmmie sympathies are? Something to remember the next time Chris Heinz enters DUmmieland and panders to them.]

Ward Churchill is scum. He said the victims of 9/11 deserved their fate. I don't see how anybody could say something much worse.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Did you hear all the students cheering him during his speech? Watch the video. He gets plenty of applause. I agree he hasn't much in common with liberalism, but you're wrong about academia. I worked at a University for 6 years. There are plenty of Ward Churchills around, students and professors.

[YUP! And don’t forget DUmmieland. There are plenty of Ward Churchills there too.]

What he says is nothing but the logical truth of the matter. This country has committed acts of terror in the name of national security since its inception.

[Congratulations. You application to become a CU professor has been ACCEPTED!]

I really wanted to stand up for Churchill, because he made a lot of good sense. But he killed himself, absolutely killed himself, with the Eichmann's comment. Godwin's Law all over again: The first person to use Nazis in an argument automatically loses. This wasn't even the 'Bush is a Nazi' chestnut. He used it in reference to the people who got blasted sideways out of a hundred story building. Is wildly unrestrained capitalism a prime reason for social and financial inequity? An excellent argument can be made on that score. Did the Towers represent that? Certainly, that's why they were targeted. Is American foreign policy over the past fifty years - in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Egypt - a reason why we don't make a lot of top ten lists in that part of the world? That's a no-brainer. But to throw a loaded symbol like Eichmann into the fray brings utter ruin to whatever point was in the offing, unfortunately. It was a pungent phrase, and I am sure as a writer that he felt a little thrill when he wrote it. But he blew his foot off with that one.

[Thank you for your input, Pied Piper Pitt. So you actually agree with the Nutty Professor but you just don’t like the way he packaged his message. You have a LOT of company among the liberals/leftists.]

[NonLinear]

as an aside, I'm dumping Herschel_Bulkler and moving over to Powell-Eyring....

for now...

[Jackson57]

Man, she must have REALLY been spouting some liberal s$$t for you to give up such a sweet deal. And the sad thing is, no one would blame you for sticking it out. HAHAHA

BTW, what do you ride?

[Roscoe Karns]

[NonLinear]

I dated a woman from Seattle who was very liberal and spouted all of the nonsense you hear on DU. It was only the fact she was very beautiful, had a hot body, and could fold up into more positions than a Swiss Army Knife that allowed me to tolerate her longer than I should have.

Didn't Robin Williams make an excellent comment explaining that phenomenon?

[Jackson57]

THAT'S IT! There are only a few radical liberals in this country, but they just keep recycling them.

[pigsmith]

Their pathological selfishness prevents them from seeing another viewpoint besides their own.

Ah, but there is no other viewpoint besides their own, doncha see.

[537cant be wrong]

by far one of the funniest posts i have ever read.
i love FR and get really tickled at the internal machinasions of it's supporters. in one simple phrase you sent an "whats the relavence" shot across the bow of all of us.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[537cant be wrong]

the 2nd pants wetter of this thread.

[KJC1]

That is hilarious!!!

That would make a great protest sign or flyer around CU!

[ken21]

a friend of mine watches tv. he says cnn had a story on churchill the other day.

i said, this has been going on for at least 3 weeks, what took them so long?

folks...a lotta the people in journalism agree with churchill!

si.

[Welsh Rabbit]

I can tell you, they have been breaking away from family members right and left. Especially in the days after the election. What gets me is they will post inane threads like "OMG! My Mother Voted for Bush!" and go on about how they want to exile themselves from their family.

What's funny about those threads (I Just Screamed at RW Brother and Ran Out in the Middle of Thanksgiving Dinner, Ask Me Anything), is that 99.9% of the time they admit that they're the ones who initiated the drama at the family reunion. Yet it was the relative's fault for not sharing their opinion. These folks who are estranging themselves from their families are going to learn a hard lesson someday when they're in a bind and realize that their online family isn't going to give them the help and support they need to make it through.

[An Old Marine]

PJ hit the main point here. In the lefts eyes Churchill's only sin was actually saying what he thought. For decades these lefty-libs have hid who they really are. Finally they are being hoest about themselves and coming out of their camouflage.

Be happy for the libs. It must be hard to pretend that you are something other than what you really are every minute of every day.

[NRA1995]

"This country has committed acts of terror in the name of national security since its inception."

Yeah, all those foreign aid dollars are acts of terror.

[speed_addiction]

Man, she must have REALLY been spouting some liberal s$$t for you to give up such a sweet deal. And the sad thing is, no one would blame you for sticking it out. HAHAHA BTW, what do you ride?

What happened is she opened an office in Hawaii and moved there for a year. In the mean time I met my current Beyonce/Halle Barry type MD girlfriend. I met this one on line on a Sportbike site.

I ride a 2002 Yamaha R1 and have an old CBR F2 for a track bike. My doctor girlfriend rides a CBR929.

On another topic, Ward Churchill himself, he should be treated as nothing less than as an enemy of this country. If you've seen the man speak he absolutely hates America and wants to see it wiped out.
An unfortunate byproduct of this kerfuffle is the opportunities it has given so-called Indian movement to act as protectors of Churchill. One had forgotten how tiresome they are.

[Ditter]

I think what happened to the Indians was an inevitable clash of cultures and they were out manned. In many places the Indians and the new settlers co existed and got along OK. My grandmother remembers that in the 1860's when she was a small child in east Texas, the Indians would come to her house. They stood around in the yard and when my great grandmother went out they told her "me want coffee, me want sugar". Ggranny would fix coffee and take it out to them and then they would leave. They were very peaceful people, had they taken ggrannie's scalp or stolen one of the children they would haven been hunted down. In the hill country of Texas I have read that the Indians and the settlers did not fare so well. The Indians in the hill country were Apaches and in east Tx they were Choctaws.

Oops! Make that Colombia since they spell it differently.

Someone please wake me when someone finally decided to enforce our laws against sedition and treason.

I hope it is before we have another attack on the level of 9-11! But you would be able to hear the POOP(pathetic old obsolete press) howling around the world!
