SCARBOROUGH: Now, as we told you last week, University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill faces possible firing for comparing 9/11 victims to Nazis and for praising al Qaeda terrorists who killed 3,000 Americans. He called them heroes. The university has 30 days to read everything that Churchill has written. And they may want to read this interview from 2004.
He said—quote—“One of the things I suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s are necessary. This seems like such a no-brainer that I hate to frame it in terms of actual transformation of consciousness.”
Now, Denver radio talk show host Peter Boyles spoke to Churchill and the father of a 9/11 victim last week. Let‘s listen to that exchange.
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
FATHER OF 9/11 VICTIM: My son was an assistant trader at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was 23, his first job out of college.
(CROSSTALK)
WARD CHURCHILL, PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO: Well, I would like to do something here. I would like to engage you.
PETER BOYLES, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Let me ask him, if I could, before it gets away, Ward, would his son have qualified as one of the little Eichmanns?
CHURCHILL: Yes, he would have.
(END AUDIO CLIP)
SCARBOROUGH: That is unbelievable. That is just unbelievable that this guy, after this controversy breaks, this guy is telling the father of a dead 23-year-old son that he would qualify as an Eichmann, again, Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi that was the architect of the Holocaust, six million Jews killed. The guy seems like a beast.

Bingo. He needs to be ignored. Let us start now.
I would like to see this jerk sent to an oven.
Maybe that makes me a little Eichmann, too.
I'll bet he is raising his speaking fee with all this attention.
4) Someone bites back HARD,
Don't bring a stick to a 2nd Amendment discussion!!!
This guy evidently doesn't have a shred of human decency in his body. If I was the University of Colorado, I would be worried about having an egomaniac like him on my payroll.
But he doesn't have a right to blanket immunity for his statements. I'd say he brought the firing on his own head.
Now watch him have nerve enough to sct surprised.
LEOs give me a one-time pass, I'll volunteer.
Bitterness can cause cancer Mr.Churchill.
If I lived in Colorado-which I did the first 17 years of my live, in Boulder---
I would start a taxpayer revolt---Colorado has a state income tax and the property tax in Colo. has to be one of the highest in the country---
I wouldn't want one penny more going to Colo until this guy's salary is off the books---he can talk, but let someone else pay for it, like the socialist, commie kids that he has taught!!!
And seven million other communists, homosexuals, Gypsies, mentally retarded, etc...
When vicious pigs like this Churchill person come along I find myself pining for the days of the duel and the horsewhipping. What this jackass is saying isn't civil.
What I hate about this, is that it all is begining to sound like what happened to Salam Rashdie. Freedom of expression is to be respected, rudeness is not this guy seems to be thoughtless and even crass. If he is using his job as his podium that is different.
"If he is using his job as his podium that is different."
He is.
