Mollynme - do you remember when we used to work for NPV? In the gift shop they had turquoise jewelry that was labeled like this:
GENUINE
INDIAN
inspired
JEWELRY
And the "inspired" fontsize was so small that it looked like a smudge, and I'm sure those boatloads of senior citizen shoppers couldn't make it out even with their reading glasses on.
Deceptive labeling like this reminds me in so many ways of WC. It's such a shame that up until now the name "Churchill" has invoked images of greatness. Now that name is forever tarnished.

Be sure to choose an ethnic group to be a member of to add to the value. Fire up, dude!

How about Genune American Indian Jewelry, made by real immigrants from India?

"CU has a major problem on their hands. The longer they wait, the worse it gets. He is discrediting their university. Actually, this POS has been discrediting CU for as long as he's been there only now it's out in the open. Like Cockroaches, we all know there are many, many more of these frauds in academe, each awaiting a simple look.
Look at the facts here - Churchill, despite all of his obvious and easily detected frauds was sailing along under the radar, appealing to his group of radical zealots, until his essay on 911 got press - Over two years AFTER it had been written. Once the spotlight was trained, all of his fraud has come tumbling out and I hope his fate is now determined - Termination without severance or benefits.
I am very certain many, many of these intellectual frauds would suffer similar fates if given a similar airing of their outrageous 'scholarship'. These frauds and charlatans have been free to ply their trade in American Universities far too long and, in the process, have replicated their ideas into the heads of their unfortunate students. IMO Churchill is really not much different than cult chieftain Charles Manson or a Radical Islamic Imam in charge of a Madrassas.

O'Reilly is supposed to have a segment on the art fraud this evening.

I am going to break my long-standing habit of avoiding O'Reilly tonight to see what he has to say about this fraudster.

Well, O'Reilly's show on Ward...~sigh...what to say...it was OK, but FReepers found TWO other cases of Copyright violations. Raj and Silverman know about them as they were emailed this thread. WHY NOT BRING IT OUT?

I am not sure that the other two cases were copyright infringement...just copying old stuff and pretending it was original. The photographs might not have been under copyright.
I was satisfied that the news of the first picture was shown, as well as another playing of the tape where Churchill hits the reporter.
I also was glad to see that if they do't do anything about Churchill, the people of Colorado are going to go ballistic.

I am not sure that the other two cases were copyright infringement...just copying old stuff and pretending it was original. Very good point. However, copying art and passing it off as original has got to be a sin in academia? Right? If not I've got an original Mona Lisa I'd like to sell to CU.

Well, what I really think is that O'Reilly is going to drag out bits of this night after night, like they are doing the investigating. It's ok with me as long as Churchill goes down.
By the way, has he cut his hair, or was that an old picture? If he has cut his hair, I think it is because he was too recognizable to the general public. I bet he was getting a lot of harassment on airplanes as he flew to his speaking engagements.
To: Drango
Are those two pictures Ward Churchill's?

Churchill is a garden variety democrat who got caught. He can spit-shine his answers all day long, but you can't put a high shine on a turd.
