This guy probably writes in crayon.

Let's look around his office and see:

Yup! Crayon-type drawings and spray paint all over the place. You pegged it!

That crap is so juvenile as to be embarrassing.

I would like to think people grow out of that kind of low-rent stupidity, but I don't think liberals ever do. After all, the Che posters are still a big seller too.

I am a student at Miami University, where Churchill spoke right before the controversy. I just found this message board, which is great.

Anyways, I actually asked Churchill about his theory on the ninth amendment and free speech. For those of you who do not know, he claims that his right to not be offended trumps first amendment rights, citing the ninth amendment and enumerated rights. Now, this interpretation has never been made by any court that I know of, but Churchill does as he pleases. I said the problem with hate speech codes is who gets to detirmine what hate speech is. For example, how would Mr. Churchill like it if someone deemed his column hate speech (which is hateful and offensive to the victims of 9/11 families).

He responded by saying that hate speech specifically refers to matters of race. I said, "what about homophobic hate speech," to which he told me that there were specific provisions in the law for that type of hate speech. He then went on to tell me that I need to know and follow that law and I was simply wasting his nickel and dime.

The point is that this man does not even have a PhD. He isn't Native American. His Constitutional logic is extremely flawed and has no backing that I know of. What a fraud.

(On another note, when a professor tried to question him on his column, a Miami administrator tried to take the mic away and silence him. So much for tolerance).

C-Spin has been leaning left for awhile. Brian Lamb is showing his true DC Puke colors.

Convicted child-killer with a diseased mind, William Heirens scribbled "Stop me before I kill more. I cannot control myself" on a mirror at the crime scene.

Those glasses haven't been "in" since leftist dictator Daniel Ortega wore them in the Eighties.

"clowns who have not scene their schween's in a decade they are so fat!"

ROLMAO! Not seen their shweens! Toooooo funny!

I'm remembering that one!

"The point is that this man does not even have a PhD. He isn't Native American. His Constitutional logic is extremely flawed and has no backing that I know of. What a fraud."

All good points. Also, he's insane!

"If this is the face of the Left today, they haven’t much of a future. Pathetic."

They run a French loser like Kerry for president, their ideological lights are the likes of Michael Moron and Wade "The Fraud" Churchill, Dan Rather is dumb enough to run with clearly-faked memos, and Eason Jordan is chowderheaded enough to defame the U.S. military in front of a senator and a congressman. Plus they keep pushing gay marriage, which 80% of America recoils from in horror.

It's no bloody wonder we're beating them like a drum - they're STUPID!

Churchill himself was creepy in a way that is hard to describe. It was like seeing the musculature and the bare bones of arrogant evil, animated. Maybe that seems hyperbolic to say, but it was transfixing, and especially scary because his audience so obviously regarded him as a victim/hero.

I watched Churchill on CSPAN for about 15 minutes -- it was all I could take. I think his audience, with their power salutes and their adulation, were creepier than Churchill was. Churchill's just a relic. He would be laughable if he weren't twisting young minds.

The thing that strikes me most when I see Churchill is what an intellectual lightweight he is. You come away with that impression if you read his speeches and other works on the web, but when you see him give a speech, it really hits home. This guy is a dullard. It's hard to overstate how unworthy he is of teaching at any university, let alone a major one -- let alone heading a department!

As for the audience, it was filled with mindless kids supporting their victim-professor (though I noticed some young people who seemed to be laughing). I think a lot of us can remember being a liberal twit at that age, so I have hope that with age will come wisdom. I do wish that some of the Indian groups who have come out against Churchill would be more vocal about it. I think that would make a difference with CU students. Imagine an anti-Ward Churchill rally in Boulder sponsored by Cherokees, Oneidas, and others he's offended.

I think this so-called 'Indian' smoked too many peace-pipes in his days.....

I still don't understand why they are hesistating at firing this guy ....

[Glenmerle]

I still don't understand why they are hesistating at firing this guy

I'm hoping they're taking the time because they want to do it right.

[Chances Are]

And the very last thing Churchill yelled at the end was, believe it or not, "Power to the people!"

Isn't that just so seventies.

No, that was the 60's. I remember it well - too well, perhaps!

CA....

[Malleus Dei]

"Power to the people"? ROFL.

Memo to the Fake Indian: it's the people who want who fired.

Even better would be parents refusing to let their children (with their young minds full of mush) take Ward Churchill's class. No students, no classes, no reason for Mr. "Call Me Squanto" Churchill to be on the payroll.

Ward Churchill is a wannabe and kook nutjob.

Oh puhleeze say you photoshopped that and it isn't real!!
