Why stop with Churchill? There are scores of similar frauds, hate mongers, and racists in 'ethnic studies' programs throughout the country. (Ever notice how 'ethnic studies' means 'studying how the White Man screwed group X?')

University of Colorado Prof. Ward Churchill
Following what it described as a 25-year internal investigation of Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado professor now in the center of a storm of national controversy, the American Indian Movement kicked out the activist the group called "deceitful" and "treacherous" and who it condemned as a white man masquerading as an Indian.
Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies and coordinator of American Indian studies at the Colorado school, came under fire in recent days for an essay he wrote following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in which he condemned the 3,000 victims and praised the al-Qaida hijackers.
After years of activism within AIM, Churchill was a ringleader of a breakaway "self-styled radical" faction that associated with extremists such as Noam Chomsky and Winona LaDuke, according to AIM records.
"They use publications like Houghton-Mifflin, Random House Publishers, South End Press and Speak Out Speakers Bureau, who allow Ward Churchill and others to perpetuate their literary, academic and Indian fraud on the unknowing public," said a 1999 AIM report.
Churchill was first expelled from the International Indian Treaty Council Sept. 23, 1986. Seven years later, on Nov. 24, 1993, he was expelled from AIM. Later, on Nov. 3, 1999, AIM leaders officially called for educators to remove his books from their curricula and libraries.
But AIM didn't stop there. Even more relevant, perhaps, to the current controversy was this recommendation from the group: "We request that organizations such as the National Indian Education Association and the American Indian Higher Education Consortium create a watchdog-type agency to review what books are being published by these literary, academic, and Indian frauds so that their revisionist writings are not finding their way into our education curriculum. This problem is of epidemic proportions, and must be stopped."
"If only someone had listened to the Indian folks back then," wrote blogger Yael (Anne) Lieberman.
Tuesday, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens urged the university to fire Churchill. And the state House passed a non-binding resolution yesterday calling his comments "evil and inflammatory." A similar measure was awaiting action in the Senate.
The CU regents plan to discuss Churchill's future at a special meeting today.
As WorldNetDaily reported, the controversy stems from an essay Churchill wrote titled "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," written shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. In it, he describes the thousands of American victims who died in the World Trade Center inferno as "little Eichmanns" (a reference to notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann) who were perpetuating America's "mighty engine of profit." They were destroyed, he added, thanks to the "gallant sacrifices" of "combat teams" that successfully targeted the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.
Churchill was scheduled to speak at Hamilton College, in Clinton, N.Y., near Syracuse today, but officials at the school canceled the appearance, citing security concerns and death threats they had received.
So he's a fraud from head to toe. Interesting that the American Indian organizations see that there is a greater infiltrator problem than just Churchill. I can't help wondering how many other "ethnic" groups have been infiltrated.
?......maybe,.....he's a alien animal?
/PETA
...............what does his 'DNA' really show?
/science
he has multiple tribal affiliations (/s).
about 1980 he was telling people that he was one-half sioux.
about 1990 he and russell means went to libya to link up with gaddafi. at the time libya was a terrorist state. anti-america, anti-israel.
the idea was to link the indigenous indian tribes of america with moslem libya.
another goal of his was for the sioux to take over most of south dakota, north dakota, parts of nebraska, wyoming, and montana and make it into a separate country, according to a map in his university office.
What in hell took so long?
He's toast. Academic fraud will get you kicked out of the ivory tower quicker than you can say Little Big horn. Why? Because there is a sense that "we cant be found out" in the university and so anyone that risks that is cut loose.
What is amazing to me is how far his hate carried him before he was considered to have stepped over the line.
Certainly looks like his chickens finally came home to roost.
The American Indian Movement claims that he is an outright fraud.
Go here to see what they say:

I agree with the post above, this fellow is toast. He has apparently misrepresented himself as being an Indian. A fatal error that will probably be used as one of the bullets he is fired with.
"What is amazing to me is how far his hate carried him before he was considered to have stepped over the line."
It's not really all that amazing when you consider the fact that he's a liberal. Liberal hate is acceptable and even expected. Look at the way the DUmmies react to liberals who show the slightest sign of tolerance to conservatives. They turn on them and tear them apart.
(W)ard (C)hurchill has earned his initials. (Ask a Brit).
He's flushed.

Or Irish. Or Jewish. Or a hunter. Or a public servant earning his paycheck. Or a big tipper. Or ...
Churchill is starting to remind of of WFB's story of Dr. Timothy Leary's appearance on Firing Line:
Leary shows up in suit attire, changes in to his hippy outfit, goes
on the show, "Tune in..." "V", changes back in to his suit after the
show and leaves.
Buckley on a Firing Line retrospective: "He was a fraud".
no, he's a f***in fascist.
Interesting. Since this incident has reminded me of the outrageous POEM by NJ Poet Laureat Amiri Baraka, I googled Baraka to read a bit about him. I found this:
Amiri Baraka (1934- ) - also called Imamu Amiri Baraka - Original name until 1968 Everett LeRoi Jones
American dramatist, poet and novelist, who has explored the experience and anger of African-Americans. Baraka's writings have been his weapon against racism and later to advocate scientific socialism. Having been converted to the Kewaida sect of the Muslim faith, he assumed the name Imamu Amiri Baraka.
~~~~~~~~ I don't want to jump to conclusions here, but both seem to be using muslim / moslem connection to incite hatred toward 'white man' from *eh* within their ethnic group. Thereby using their ethnicity as a free pass from intense scrutiny. Hmmmm....
What's scary, is that creeps like this nut are all over our college campuses teaching students all in the name of free speech. And nobody seems to give a darn.
My mother called me "Big Chief - Rotten Teeth" when I fussed about having to brush my fangs. My brother called me an Indian Giver for reneging on a promise. Guess that makes me an injun. Where do I sign up for the benefits?
