Wade Churchill is a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado. Up until a couple of weeks ago, nobody outside the radical left community had ever heard of Churchill. But somebody tipped off Bill O’Reilly that Churchill was invited to speak at a small college in New York. When O’Reilly checked into Churchill’s background, he was stunned. That’s been the reaction of just about everybody who researches the kind of hate-filled, anti-American propaganda Churchill has been spewing for years in the guise of teaching "ethnic studies."
Churchill hates the United States. He hates everything about this country. Our government. Our faith. Our people. Our education system. Our social fabric. Our foreign policy. Our economy. He hates you and me.
Churchill blames the United States for everything wrong in the world. He has said repeatedly that the United States has murdered millions of innocent children throughout the world and Americans deserve to die for their sins against the "dark" people of the world. By dark, he refers to anyone other than Caucasian. Churchill likes to tell people that he is a Native American from some unspecified tribe, but there’s no evidence of that.
It’s one of the delusions that this screwball harbors so he can blame everyone else in the country except for the Native Americans.
I watched a televised hour-long speech Churchill gave last week on the campus of the University of Colorado. He surrounded himself with Native Americans and he even had somebody beating a tom-tom every time he made a major point. Talk about demeaning an ethnic group. I fully expected Churchill to strap on a feather headdress and do a rain dance in the middle of the auditorium. He’s about as Native American as I am.
Churchill was happy in his psychotic little world until Bill O’Reilly made him Public Enemy No. 1. What caught O’Reilly’s attention was an essay that Churchill published shortly after the attacks on Sept. 11 that said the 3,000 American men and women who died on Sept. 11 deserved what they got. He also compared the victims of 9/11 to a Nazi war criminal.
There’s a movement in Colorado to fire Churchill. He’s already stepped down as chairman of the ethnic studies department, but because he has tenure, Churchill has no intention of giving up his $100,000-a-year job.
The American Civil Liberties Union has already come to Churchill’s defense, saying this a freedom of speech case. Would it surprise anyone that the ACLU would support such a radical anti-American? Is there a more anti-American organization than the ACLU? This is not a free speech issue. No one is infringing on Churchill’s rights. His essay is readily available on the Internet. He has a Web site. He lectures daily to a captive audience of students. He can stand on any street corner in America and spew his venom. Nobody is denying Churchill the right to free speech.
What this case boils down to is competency. Should a teacher distort the truth to indoctrinate young people to his radical views? Should a person who is paid by the taxpayers of Colorado use classroom time to advocate the overthrow of the United States government?
The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that there is no "absolute" right to free speech. You can’t run into a movie theater and scream "fire!" at the top of your lungs to create a panic because you feel you’re exercising free speech.
So what does Professor Churchill believe? He says the victims of 9/11 had it coming because 400 years ago, the Dutch cheated the Native Americans out of Manhattan island. Yes, he actually said that.
He is virulently anti-Semitic. He doesn’t believe the Holocaust took place. He says it’s all a big conspiracy by the Jews to gain sympathy. He blames Israel for many of the problems in the Middle East.
He believes the U.S. was the aggressor in World War II and had no right to bomb the Japanese home islands. (I’m guessing Professor Churchill never heard of Pearl Harbor.)
He also says the United States is an outlaw nation because it used "weapons of mass destruction" (the atomic bombs) on Japan to end World War II.
It might be wiser to ignore Churchill until his 15 minutes of fame expire, but he is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to radical leftists who populate our college campus. Where are communists hiding these days? In the faculty lounge of many of our institutions of higher learning. More on that in a future column. In the meantime, size up Churchill for a straitjacket.

Look out Hillary - here is your competition. He has all the Democrat qualifications.
It would have helped if he got the name right.
Details, details.
He's the poster-boy of the far left attitude prevelant in our academia.
Carry on, Mr. Churchill. Keep up the "good" work...heh, heh!
"Churchill hates the United States. He hates everything about this country. Our government. Our faith. Our people. Our education system. Our social fabric. Our foreign policy. Our economy. He hates you and me."
Maybe after Churchill resigns from CU to spend more time with his family, he can join forces with another hate America Lunatic, Howard Dean, the new head of the DNC.

Well, better to call him Wade than Winston....

Wade, Ward....close. lol
Bump, excellent read.
Churchill is a fraud -- he lied on his job application, and the contract specifically states one can be terminated for that.
He's toast.
In spite of the aclu.
Yes he is. And there are American-hating lefties in the State Department and elsewhere. This country has given these loonies too much freedom to spew and act for way too long.
"And there are American-hating lefties in the State Department and elsewhere. This country has given these loonies too much freedom to spew and act for way too long."
And they are being purged. Connie Rice and Porter Goss are politically cleansing both the State Dept and CIA.
Naw, Captain Obvious stopped me.
Let's not give our enemies any ammo, ok?
I agree. I'm rooting for the Donks to put Churchill and Whoopie Goldberg on the ticket somewhere...
IOt's very naive to think this hate America thing is limited to a few kooks. They're kooks alright, but this has infected many American liberals. I know several supposedly sane adult professionals who will rant about why Americans are attacked all over the world and why we were hit on 9-11. One told me it's because we are a "despicable people." And this person used to work in the Twin Towers!
