"The sorry part of this is Ward Churchill has fraudulently represented himself as an Indian, and a member of the American Indian Movement, a situation that has lifted him into the position of a lecturer on Indian activism. He has used the American Indian Movement’s chapter in Denver to attack the leadership of the official American Indian Movement with his misinformation and propaganda campaigns...Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband. He waves around an honorary membership card that at one time was issued to anyone by the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. Former President Bill Clinton and many others received these cards, but these cards do not qualify the holder a member of any tribe.

Churchill’s statement that these people deserved what happened to them, and calling them little Eichmanns, comparing them to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who implemented Adolf Hitler’s plan to exterminate European Jews and others, should be condemned by all.

New York’s Hamilton College Kirklands Project should be aware that in their search for truth and justice, the idea that they have hired a fraud to speak on Indian activism is in itself a betrayal of their goals.

Oops...
FYI
Interesting....methinks we'll be finding out more about Ward Churchill than he ever thought or would like.
This is probably what will get him fired, not his 911 comments.
While researching my geneology, I learned that I am 1/32 Wampanog Indian....on my father's side....I bet I have more Indian in me than traitor Churchill. And I definitely know I'm more American.
He's a member of the Wa-Na-Bee tribe?
Or was he a source for dan rather or jayson blair?
That'll get ya fired from teaching in an ethnic studies program.
The implication is that the Left is still capable of shame. I don't think so. I suspect his demise shall be tied to the bottom line. These tenured idiots are limosuine liberals, and they don't want those cash contributions drying up. Otherwise, they might have to work for a living, as opposed to poisoning the minds of impressionable American youth for a living.
Not so for the University of Colorado. They are so embarrassed that they are letting him give his "Roosting Chicken" at the University next Tuesday.

BTW, what is Megan's List?
LOL!!!!
I've got just a few drops of Cherokee blood running through my veins and I find Ward Churchill a phony.
But he has a piece of paper saying that he is for real. And his job is as a ethnic studies expert is predicated on it. Other than hating America, this man has no skills which would recommend him as a department head at a major university. Wait, that must mean...
bttt
"That'll get ya fired from teaching in an ethnic studies program."
I'm not so sure. He has possesses the one quality that is the gold standard in American acadamia: he hates America.
Nah, He's a fukowwee
