Churchill’s Ministry of Peace
by: Bethany Stotts, September 04, 2008
Ward Churchill, a former ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado (UC), may have been fired after a UC investigation revealed his plagiarism and poor scholarship, but some anti-war outlets still court the controversial professor’s company.
Churchill has shown himself to be more than willing to equate the September 11, 2001 attacks with the death of infants in the Iraq War and to label the victims of the 9/11 attacks as “little Eichmanns.”
During a 2006 interview on Hannity & Colmes, Churchill defended his comments, arguing that they were no worse than Donald Rumsfeld’s. “Roughly speaking there’s no precise answer to be offered because the proportionality is grotesquely unbalanced, but my feelings towards families here would be roughly the same as my feelings toward families suffering ‘collateral damage,’ as Rumsfeld calls it, in Iraq. How do you feel about those, Sean?,” he said, responding to Sean Hannity. The professor is apparently proud of his defense, having posted the video to his website, www.wardchurchill.net.
Recent events at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) revealed just how far Churchill is willing to go to condemn his own country. “18 years ago, in 1990, when the father of the current president came on television and said, invoking some sort of doctrine of just war, as he called it, but it is an obligation—not just a right, but an obligation—to repeal the seizure of someone else’s territory, the appropriation of their resources, the usurpation of their legitimate governments—and of course George H.W.

Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.
Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.
As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way —there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)
—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.
And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...
They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.
You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.
You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.
Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.
There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."

Old leftists never die. They get jobs at universities.
Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.
Two scary things about this: 1) Barack Obama probably agrees 100% with Ward Churchill (but of course, couldn't publicly admit it), 2) Ward Churchill is at least as qualified to be President as Barack Obama.
