Professorship not a license (re: Ward Churchill)
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, February 15, 2005 | By Bruce Fein

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill should be discharged for his signature intellectual lunacies. They blur the distinction between the reasoning of Socrates and the propaganda of Joseph Goebbels. As a role model for impressionable students, Professor Churchill's ravings against the United States gyrate between catastrophic and disastrous. Further, he has no business amplifying his dementia by wearing the mantle of a state university. Hyde Park corners are available for his twisted speech. The professor has likened September 11, 2001's World Trade Center victims to Adolph Eichmann. According to the self-proclaimed Creek and enrolled Keetoowah Band Cherokee, participating in a free enterprise economy with willing buyers and willing sellers is indistinguishable from shipping Jews to Adolf Hitler's extermination camps. Thus, as Eichmann was abducted from Argentina by Israel, convicted of crimes against humanity after a public trial and sentenced to death, so the World Trade Center corpses were equally complicit in morally squalid actions that justified their grisly fates.

Academia. Ivory tower. 'Immunity'.

And a bunch of little pansy liberal long-haired mama's boys at the university sticking up for him.

I really wouldn't be surprised if there are no rebukes issued by the university.

And "intellectuals" wonder with disbelief at historical instances of anti-intellecutalism.

I think a lot of these Ivory Tower "intellectuals" honestly believe that controversy = intellectualism.

Of course, the reality is that Churchill's remarks are the antithesis of intellectualism. They're pure stupidity, plain and simple.

His work is being probed. Wonder what the 'probers' expect to find? That someone else authored that hateful "essay" using Churchill's byline? I say fire the guy already.

Meat is murder and the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq is genocide. Yet Saddam Hussein is a statesman, and abortion is choice. Funny way of thinking, if you ask me.

Power of the BlogoSphere:
Serfing the Web --I missed it when it was broadcast, but Trey Jackson has video of Jeff Jarvis’ appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources with Washington Post journalist Howard Kurtz: Jeff Jarvis - ‘The Story is not over’. It’s edited to show only the sections with Jeff and he makes very good points, especially in his answer to the absurd “Blogs=McCarthyism” charge, raised by Kurtz. Here’s Jeff’s post at buzzmachine about the show: Serfs at the news cathedral’s gates.
 Now that everyone has access to a press -- the internet -- anyone you talk to could be a Wolf Blitzer in sheep's clothing.

"Time to wean U. of Colorado off the tax payer teat."
What a delightful concept. Too bad the people of Colorado are such panty-waists themselves. They might rise up and do some roaring. I suppose they want their children corrupted.
