Ward Churchill (5th Columnist) Busted for Copyright Infringement, Plagiarism, assaults cameraman
CBS4, Denver Post, and Rocky Mountain News ^ | 2-24-2005 | CBS4 and Rocky Mountain News

Evidence has been found that 5th Columinst Ward Churchill copied a painting by reknown artist Thomas E. Mails

Churchill's Serigraph is a mirror image of the Miles painting.



Churchill made the serigraph in question in 1981 and called it "Winter Attack." He printed 150 copies and sold one of them to Duke Prentup for about $100.

On Video, confronting Churchill about the obvious copyright violation by CBS4 Reporter Raj Chohan, Churchill then attacked the cameraman filming the incident.

Also, Churchill claims he earned a Bachelors Degree and a Master Degree at the Sangamon State University in Illinois (where 5th Columinst were created) but school officials cannot locate his Master's Thesis. Colorado University regents expressed concerns that a person be appointed professor without a doctorate.

"Ward Churchill has lived his life as one gigantic fraud, multiplied over and over, in every endeavor of his sad existence. I actually pity this lunatic."

Churchill is unraveling. He is responsible for his own choices. What do you think is at the crux of his motives?

...it is clear from that video that he is also violent and mentally unbalanced IMHO.

I don't often quote Michael Savage, but this one seems appropriate here: "Liberalism is a mental disease".

How ironic...the term for reversing an image is to
FLOP it.
This guy's neither right handed nor left handed.
He's just plain underhanded.

"Ward Churchill has lived his life as one gigantic fraud..."

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

What possessed Ward to think he could make the kinds of inflamatory statements that he did and people wouldn't uncover his fraud?

Ward Churchill an Native American..... After watching that video I can see that that is a bunch of bull hockey. Hes nothing but a fat old white guy.... Its violent reaction was not suprising. Who was the genius who hired this guy to teach college students anyway. Just fire him and send him to a "real reservation" I hope that that reporter sues him for assault....

I wonder how many students Mr. Churchill got kicked out of College for plagerism?

This guy is a fraud. Pure and simple.

His heritage seems to be a fraud.
His military accomplishments seem to be a fraud.
Some of his writings seem to be fraudulant or plagiarized.
His educational credentials seem questionable.
Now, his artwork is questionable.

That Michael Savage quote comes to mind every day of my life. It is the only explanation for what the left chooses to embrace, embodied by that fraud Ward Churchill.

I knew Grey Owl was a fake…

This reminds me of the other great fake Indian-- “Chief Iron Eyes Cody”

Churchill is a grandiose, delusional, hate-filled run-of-the-mill Paranoid Schizophrenic.

I work with a "Free Speech activist" that claimed the Radical Right wing was after Ward becuase he was outspoken.

This "Free Speech activist" is also a Prof. at the Local Community College and has told me tales of students getting kicked out of school after he found they plagerised others works.

I wonder what Mr. "Free Speech activist" is gonna say about his favorite fraud now.

Psychosis, in this case Paranoid Schizophrenia.

He will eventually kill himself, shooting himself with one of those firearms he bandies about in threatening poses. His suicide will come as the inevitable consequences of his hateful behavior and his complete life of fraud close in. He will leave a suicide note maintaining his lifelong delusion of professional victimhood, and blaming his "persecutors."
