Somebody needs to let those "native American students" that old (Mental)Ward is about as Native American as the Duke of Orange . . .

Just as a public service and to correct the record, of course. I'm sure they don't want to be spending their hard-earned student activity dollars on a white guy . . .

"Churchill, chairman of Colorado's ethnic studies department, was invited to Whitewater by a group of Native American students

I guess the fact that he is no more a 'Native American' than I am doesn't matter to these students - And why should it? That little inconsistency in this guy's story is the absolute least of his trifling with the truth..

[NHResident]

From what I know of University of Wisconsin students - they couldn't tell if the sun rose in the east or the west let alone be aware of the validity of this idiots heritage.

[68skylark]

It figures he'd be welcome in Madison.

Overall I'm sick of hearing about this mope. He's like a chimp in a zoo or something -- cavorting for the public and throwing poo, trying to get attention.

[edfrank_1998]

This isn't at the Madison campus, it's at the Whitewater campus (a little southeast of the people's republic).

[Stultis]

Churchill, chairman of Colorado's ethnic studies department, was invited to Whitewater by a group of Native American students.

"How, Red Brothers! You want'um any more fake Injun for pow-wow?
Seriously, man, we've hardly worked since F-Troop. We could use the bread."

[68skylark]

My mistake. I'm sure he'll be welcome at Madison some other day, but that's not the location for this visit.

[Obadiah]

Actually, this campus is pretty conservative. They have a strong business program here. Of course they have their kooks, but generally it's a conservative place.

[edfrank_1998]

That's what I had thought. I know about their business program (I'm closer to Milwaukee), so you're probably right. The timing of the announcement sure is interesting in view of the other information that's come to light.

[Maceman]

"Little Eichmanns," eh?

I guess the littlest Eichmann is the one on the left. Her name was Juliana McCourt. She died on Flight 175, along with her mother, Ruth McCourt (pictured), and her mother's friend (Paige Hackel) who was on Flight 11.

I knew both of those women. One was a family friend.

Words cannot express my outrage at Ward Churchill or any institution that would give him a platform or provide him with even part of a living. May he never know a moment's peace.

I think the native Americans have every right to view us as 'Little Eichmanns' in this context.

Our society replaced theirs in a nasty way. With the majority of people not really at fault, just trying to live their lives. Thus the 'Little Eichmanns' moniker.

I guess the Islamic terrorists see us the same way. From the CNN interview I saw he seemed to be trying to explain why the attacks happened. Including the mindset and rationale of the terrorists. But I need to read his Thesis.

I think this is wise and I am sure that the military thinks of it this way. After all, knowing what your enemy is thinking is ideal.

I take the view that neither side is 'wrong', but that there will be a struggle that will determine who is 'right'. As per the victors write the history idea.

But I am on the side of western civilization, even in the case of the Native Americans. It's kind of like sports. It' too bad there has to be a loser. But that is the nature of our reality, it has always been so.

UW-Stevens Point grad here. You're almost half right though. Was raised out on the prairie & ever since I've moved to the Big Woods, I've had problems knowing east from west but only when the sun isn't shining...

was invited to Whitewater by a group of Native American students.

Any idea how many NA's on the Whitewater campus? Up here at Stevens Point, there was a bare handful while I was enrolled...2001 grad.

Here's his article:

found at: http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/s11/churchill.html

"If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it."


His claim as a Keetoowah Band Cherokee has been discredited (by the Keetoowah). AIM specifically says that Churchill doesn't speak for them.

We'll have to disagree on Mr. Churchill.

[Capt. Tom]

Wheaton College, Norton Mass. had Ward Churchill scheduled as a speaker on March 29 th.
I sent them an e-mail and got this response.

Dear Tom,

Ward Churchill will not be speaking at Wheaton. He had been invited to participate in a panel discussion on conflict and genocide, but the college has rescinded its invitation.

I don't understand.

What is your position regarding him?

[Clint N. Suhks]

I think the native Americans have every right to view us as 'Little Eichmanns' in this context.

Oh my, I'll bet you think Christopher Columbus day shouldn't be celebrated anymore either. You think American Indians think we were systematically committing genocide? Did you just come over from DU or what?

[Clint N. Suhks]

but the college has rescinded its invitation.

I'm surprised they invited him in the first place. Wheaton College is about as conservative college as they come.

[hineybona]

I can believe that too..Sad..
