The infamous Ward Churchill, whom after the 9/11 atrocity called the victims “little Eichmanns,” is at it again. Churchill was welcomed with open arms last night to speak at the University of Hawaii, again under the rubric of “free speech.” He spewed more of his anachronistic, elitist bigotry:
Churchill reiterated his contention that people who function in investment and brokerage trading further economic policies in Third World countries that lead to mass misery and death.
According to Churchill’s insane logic, a janitor who cleans toilets at a brokerage firm is contributing to “mass misery and death,” and it is “justice” when terrorists murder a stock broker.
Thousands of Americans work in the “investment and brokerage trading” industry from all walks of life. Is Churchill so sure that all these people are guilty of sowing the seeds of “mass misery and death?” IBM and Disney offer health benefits to same-sex couples. Wait a minute; that's politically correct. These two companies are both publicly traded. Just how does IBM cause “mass misery and death?” By selling software that makes businesses run more efficiently? Just how does a person who holds maybe $2,000 in IBM stock cause “mass misery and death?” Just how does a trader at a small brokerage firm who makes $50 - $60K per year cause “mass misery and death?”
Has Professor Churchill looked in the dictionary lately? After all, the definition of the word “bigot” is “a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who thinks that anyone who does not have the same beliefs is wrong,” or "one who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ." Need I remind university administrators, supposedly “educated” people, of these definitions?
Churchill’s illogic is anachronistic. Slowly but surely, members of the family of nations are turning towards free markets and democracy. Eastern Europeans threw off the yolk of Soviet-imposed socialism by choice. No one forced these people to choose democracy and capitalism. In fact, they chose democracy and capitalism through the democratic process. Yet Churchill yearns for the day where Pol Pot, Milosevic, Stalin, Lenin, and Mao murder a hundred million people to accomplish nothing more than social disintegration – not socialism. Churchill must have a, “First, we’ll kill all the stock brokers” bumper sticker on his car.
Would the University of Hawaii invite white supremacists to speak? Not on your life. Political correctness has spiraled out of control and has morphed into an Orwellian nightmare where the “Ministry of Peace” really means the “Ministry of Rationalizing Terrorism.” How far out of balance will we let our colleges go? College administrators are welcoming bigots and terrorists to their campuses. Next thing you know, Osama Bin Laden will be touring U.S. schools waving a “free speech” visa.
Churchill needs an attitude adjustment.
This child is another example of the sixties generation of idiots who have yet to grow up and shed their communistic ideals.
Churchill fits the above label as a morally insane pseudo intellectual. Churchill is a faux Indian and professor.
This guy's discourse rambles from cliche to cliche and detours into Neverland.
Sums it up. I say, let him spew, it helps to expose the universities for what they are.
Everytime I see this guy on tv it reminds me why i spit on everything related to the 60's and 70's.
Simple question to ask Churchill if given the chance...
Do you own any stock? Do you have a 401(k), IRA, or pension plan whose assets are in the market? Does your employer have any assets in the market? If so, are you not a "little Eichmann" yourself?
Listening to 'Professor Sitting Bulls**t' causes mass misery and death.
Psyche Ward Churchill needs a straightjacket!
And when Benjamin Netanyahu tried to speak at Concordia University (Montreal), the lefties and their Palestinian terrorist allies rioted. Concordia cancelled the speech. While schools ramble about free speech, they flush it down the toilet when it goes against their PC grain.
What does Martha Stewart say?
"Churchill reiterated his contention that people who function in investment and brokerage trading further economic policies in Third World countries that lead to mass misery and death."
the odd thing about people who emote like this is, either they have rich parents or they make a lot of money at taxpayers' expense.
Ward Churchill = Ted Kaczynski minus the explosives know-how.
Yes, I remember that. But no uproar in the press. Let Churchill keep on speaking, people associate him with Democrats!
Churchill ping.
"This guy's discourse rambles from cliche to cliche and detours into Neverland.
Sums it up. I say, let him spew, it helps to expose the universities for what they are."
I agree. It strikes me as rather interesting that this guy, for a dept head at a major university, has nothing to say. I mean, if one engages him in debate, what is it exactly that he is trying to say? It sounds really like the Osama Bin Laden argument about the great Satan.
Plain and simple this guy hates America. We've all seen the types. We went to school with guys like this. You can't shut them up.
If he had something to say people would quote and listen to him. He's done more to further the conservative cause in this country than all the hollywood freaks put together.
For that only, I thank this @sshole.

So the Soviets used eggs to control their people?
The Tsars used Faberge Eggs. They had much more class.
I totally agree.
This guy is so ANGRY and has a real self-righteous attitude that indicates that he thinks someone pooped in his Wheaties all his life, that I would be willing to bet that in the near future he does something very violent and destructive.
Ah. Now, THAT makes sense.
LOL!
"This guy is so ANGRY and has a real self-righteous attitude that indicates that he thinks someone pooped in his Wheaties all his life, that I would be willing to bet that in the near future he does something very violent and destructive."
I don't think so. He's a coward. Riding the wave of his 15 minutes. Someone said that men, in general, do things in life to attract the opposite sex. To put that in "lay" terms, men do what they do to get laid.
This jerk does what he's doing for that reason. I don't think he has one ounce of conviction about anything.
He's in a house of cards that's about to crumble.
