MONDAY, Feb. 7, 2005, 2:31 p.m. 'Little Eichmanns' prof to speak here
Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado professor whose remarks comparing the victims of the World Trade Center attacks to a World War II Nazi war criminal, is scheduled to speak at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater on March 1, a university spokesman said. Churchill, chairman of Colorado's ethnic studies department, was invited to Whitewater by a group of Native American students.
Churchill was scheduled to speak last week at Hamilton College in upstate New York but administrators there cancelled the appearance, citing clear and present danger of violence.
His writing, titled, "Some People Push Back," describe the nearly 3,000 who died in the World Trade Center attacks as "Little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolph Eichmann, who helped Hitler with plans to exterminate Jews from Europe during World War II.

So sorry for you buddy..Perhaps you should email the school with that post and picture. I would
Hey, why can't I buy Point Beer out here in Maryland hey. Yah, been to your campus many times for wrestling meets when I went to Ripon don't-cha-know.
Who here can tell me what a bubbler is for cripes sake?
Trouble is, this nut case isn't even Indian. While he claims to be, all he has is an honorary membership to some tribe, kind of like a key to the city thing. But he is as much Indian as the Queen of England.
Sorry, wrong Wheaton College...yikes!
there's no 'wrong' side?
have you been smokin' dat kill, homez?
Yes I came over from DU. That is why I disagree with you. Plus you are clearly much smarter than I am and have all the correct answers. You have cowed me with your remarks.
If you took the trouble to actually read my post without your bias glasses on you would have picked up that I AGREE with the attack on the Muslims. I actually think we should stop messing around and fight a total war, wiping them off the planet.
I also agree with the successful attack on the Native Americans, but my point is that they do NOT.
If the Indians were not nearly wiped out where the heck did they all go? Why don't they still have this land? I don't know if the Genocide was systematic but most of them and their civilization is gone that is for sure.
I like Columbus day, although in all fairness it should be Vikings day as they were the first ones here that we know of.
Oh and the personal attack and assumptions about me are a nice touch as well.
Now that I think of it why don't we just post all the opinions we are supposed to have and I'll make sure to have them. Or I'll just email you and you can tell me what to think.
You asked:
"What is your position regarding him?"
I strongly disagree with statements like this:

"As to those in the World Trade Center . . .
Well, really. Let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire – the "mighty engine of profit" to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Recourse to "ignorance" – a derivative, after all, of the word "ignore" – counts as less than an excuse among this relatively well-educated elite. To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in – and in many cases excelling at – it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. 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."
Civilians of a sort? He is wrong.
He is also wrong to pass himself off as a member of the Keetoowah Band and use that falsehood to legitimize his arguments.
Here's what the American Indian Movement told him (and the University of Colorado) in 1993 (these are images of the pages of a fairly long letter):

This letter gives a bit of history, but it is interesting in that the American Indian Movement was very clear on page 7. Churchill and Glenn Morris (then Department of Political Science at U Colorado) were expelled from AIM and directed (in bold) to refrain from disrupting the Indian Movement. Or on page 5, "You, Mr. Churchill, after a period of time, which you declared yourself a member of various Indian groups including Creek/Cherokee, now identify yourself as Creek/Cherokee and Metis. To the knowledge of most Indian people, you are the first to declare yourself "Metis" here in the U.S." No mention of the Keetoowah back in 1993. The Keetoowah connection (or lack thereof) has been discussed on another thread here.
I see him as having some flaws. He is, of course, entitled to his opinion. I don't agree with him and I don't want my state tax dollars providing support for him or his views. On 1 March he is scheduled to participate in a day long "Native Pride Day" at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (a state school). I don't believe he's a member of a tribe or band and on that basis (on which he promotes himself) should not appear there.
You said:

Nope. Besides, he's speaking at Whitewater, not in Edgerton.
I feel your pain--sincerely
Ain'a so?
Don't you see his point though? About how our enemies past and present see things? It is perspective: imagine the perspective of the people of Gaul toward Rome.
I saw him on the interview, he is clearly of Native American descent. I think they are distancing themselves from him.
He sure looks like he is. Plus he thinks he is so he regards himself as a member of that group.
the right side doesn't fly airplanes into skyscrapers or behead people.
we're the right side. if you don't think america's ABSOLUTELY the right side, then maybe a move to france should be thought of.
i grew up in ohio and there's nothing wrong with my english, thank you very much. just having some fun. i'd be perfectly happy to translate the last sentence in that post for you, you poor culturally deprived child.....

You previously asked me a specific question and I gave you a detailed answer (with references). And this is all you ask? Have you read his article? Did you read the letter from the American Indian Movement? AIM wrote that in 1993. How can they be distancing themselves now?
4 airplanes went down on 9/11. They didn't have to. Churchill thought it justified and a rational act of war. He's wrong.
I knew Ward Churchill was scheduled here in Massachusetts at Wheaton College on March 29th.
I waited awhile to give Wheaton a chance to dump him or standby him.
I e- mailed Wheaton College last night and today I got the reply that his invitation was recinded.
I was glad to hear that. - Tom
