Professor Ward Churchill is a traitor, in my estimation: that's the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo".
The radical University of Colorado professor continues to speak around the country, getting paid for telling people that the civilians in the World Trade Center on 9/11 were legitimate military targets for Al Qaeda.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
WARD CHURCHILL, PROFESSOR, UNIV. OF COLORADO: Well, you know now, the Central Intelligence Agency had located facilities in the World Trade Center. The Defense Department had located facilities in the World Trade Center. There were other entities that could be considered part of command and control infrastructure that had been deliberately situated by the government of the United States in the towers.
By U.S. rules, which I absolutely object to, by U.S. rules, that made them legitimate targets.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Now Churchill's viewpoint is just hateful. He believes the USA is an evil country and terrorists are justified in attacking civilians. Again, in my view, Churchill's simply a traitor, a disgrace to the University of Colorado, a man to be scorned.
All Americans have an obligation to this country. Dissent is necessary. Loyal opposition of policies you feel are wrong is commendable. And you're not required to participate in any civic activity except pay taxes.

Bill O'reilly is a pompous ass, much like Churchill. Neither is a traitor.
No 'DNA' tests allowed!
No road apples Basil Rathbone!
Now why couldn't the big B-O figure out Kerry?
Exactly. While Churchill is an innocuous crank-dorkbrain, Kerry has always had a shady, disturbing subversive streak and could have brought that to the White House.
...Shudder...
I doubt that Churchill would object to being called a traitor. He probably considers it a compliment.
Except more of his kind.
The Left sees a traitor is allowed to be a US Senator.

BO is a flim flam man...he knows, he loses no viewers insulting ole Ward...but he loses his democratic viewers if he attacks kerry. Bill is all about spinning for bill.
I wrote to U of C Regents ..Here is their response .
On behalf of the Board of Regents and President Hoffman, I want to thank you for taking the time to comment on Professor Ward Churchill. While the issue is difficult, we can only be served by having an open and honest dialog as we move forward together.
Let me state unequivocally that Professor Churchill's views are his own and do not represent the views of University of Colorado faculty, staff, students, administration or Regents.
As you may suspect, we have received comments from concerned local and national citizens expressing viewpoints that range from urging for his dismissal from the CU-Boulder faculty and other disciplinary measures to supporting his right to express his opinions.
At the Feb. 3 Board of Regents meeting, I announced a course of action that provides due process. Over the next few weeks, I will oversee a thorough examination of Professor Churchill's writings, speeches, tape recordings and other works. The purpose of this internal review is to determine whether Professor Churchill overstepped his bounds as a faculty member, showing cause for dismissal as outlined in the Laws of the Regents.
At the conclusion of this examination, I will determine whether to issue a notice of intent to dismiss for cause, other action as appropriate, or no action. If a notice to dismiss for cause or some other action is issued then the subsequent process will be governed by the Laws of the Regents.
Before such a decision can be made, the University must observe due process as required by the U.S. Constitution and the Laws of the Regents. The University is obligated to carefully balance the protections afforded by the First Amendment, as well as follow very specific University rules and processes for faculty discipline. Our processes will guide our actions in the most thoughtful and equitable manner.
I am hopeful that you will consider the actions already taken to deal with this matter that strikes so deeply at both our national conscience and the core tenets of any institution of higher education.
President Hoffman has stated, "The rights afforded those of us in the academic community to pursue our scholarly work come with a heavy responsibility to behave with integrity and professionalism and to meet the highest ethical standards our disciplines demand. These standards create the boundaries within which academic freedom rests."
I encourage you to visit the CU-Boulder News Center Web site at for additional information and updates on this situation.
Again, we thank you for your interest in the University of Colorado and for expressing your opinion.
Sincerely,
Philip P. DiStefano
Interim Chancellor
I would respectfully differ with you on Churchill not being a traitor. Anyone who says we were attacked on 9-11 because we deserved it is a traitor, and sadly, that includes many on the left.
"Now why couldn't the big B-O figure out Kerry?"
I'm sure he did, but Churchill is an easy target and wasn't a US Senator running for President who poses risk for retribution.. ..eg, O'R didn't have the guts.
Their response was basically a pedantic, glossy version of "We haven't done anything, we won't do anything, and there's nuttin' you can do about it!"
Where was the Big O when JFn's history was exposed? In stead of investigating, he chose to defame the Swifties. I like Bill, but he is quite selective in his targets.
Seems so right ? I'll be on top of them for sure.They wont get off that easy .This clown HAS TO GO!
Just words. Saying we deserved it is an opinion. It is a real stretch to turn any negative statement about our government into treason. People throw around the treason tag like it was no big deal. I Think most people do not have a clue what would legally constitute "Aid and Comfort".
My take is that Churchill is pushing the envelope on treason, but arguably not within its boundaries...
YET.
John Kerry and Jane Fonda are bona-fide traitors.
They did not attack a military target. They did declare war in the first WTC attack. We did nothing in response, absolutely nothing. That does not excuse this blowhard fake Indian traitor.
My guess is that the school will buy out his contract. He will then teach at a similar institution and consider himself a hero.
