I saw them on C-Span at a rally for this wierdo
they looked like a bunch of thugs
You saw Ward Churchill's security? Could you describe it a bit more?
These Dog Soldiers aren't just security--they are also enforcement of things AIM wants.
One student who criticized Churchill because he gave her a bad grade said that "everybody is afraid of him."
This man's scholarship is really poor. There is no balance.
He just uses the Indian thing. He piggy-backs on the Indian issues to promote left-wing causes.
The Indians see that clearly enough.
People who don't know much about Indians will get a bad impression from Churchill. Probably that is what he wants--to stir up hatred between Indians and other Americans.
No tribe is claiming him. Elected Indian leaders don't believe in terrorism or in flying planes into buildings.
The elected Indian leaders are smeared by Ward Churchill as stooges and puppets of a "colonialist" regime. Actually, they are elected by Indians just like in other towns in America. The elected leaders of Indians are a more reliable source of Indian opinion than Ward Churchill.
I like reading this publication by and about Indians
