Compare and contrast:

"Second, it really is low and cowardly when Maher says something outrageous and then, with that smirk, retreats to, “Hey, I’m just a comedian. I’m only joking.” He knows damned well that people (granted, mostly kids and Yuppies) take him seriously."

and

Michael Moore’s defense whenever his accuracy as a documentarian is called into question is "it’s just comedy, it doesn’t have to be accurate." (When asked on CNN about mistakes in Stupid White Men, he again responded, "How can there be inaccuracy in comedy?").

See the similarities? See the cowardice?

Moore and Maher. Two sides of the same coin. A two headed coin.

Both feel that they can say whatever they please, presenting it as fact, fabricating as they wish, portraying opinion as fact, and when called on it, say it is just "comedy."

Well, I am not laughing. I am projectile vomiting.

Ward Churchill is anti Capitalist, anti Democracy and anti America.

Ward Churchill attempts to make the case that WTC workers were like Adolf Eichmann. Adolf Eichmann never actually killed a Jew, but he arranged all the train schecuals. In trading stocks and bonds WTC workers are little Eichmanns because they are participating in a Capitalist system. And Capitalism forces people to work in sweatshop. It exploits people.

Where Ward Churchill is WRONG

1) Capitalism has actually advanced the world.

a) Capitalism feeds people. In India pre Capitalism, you had many children starving on the streets. Capitalism brought about the necessary technology to improve the quality of life and because of Capitalism India is a rising power.

b) When faced with the dilemna of starving to death or working in a factory, which should a child pick? As a nation progresses, child labor is eventually outlawed. But it is impossible to set up schools when your entire village starving.
Capitalism offers more stability because it changes the economy from an unstable argricultural community (where people starve according to weather conditions) to the more stable industrial economy. If Capitalism was truly evil, no one would take these jobs.

c) Capitalism allows Americans to be generous when giving their billions to overseas Charities. Americans through their taxes fund provide AIDS treatment for babies in Africa. "Stop killing people's babies"- Ward Churchill

( Ward, we are saving them )

2) The World Trade Center was was NOT the Center of Wallstreet.

a) Infact it was co owned by NY and NJ. Is Ward Churchill against housing for poor people, because that's one of the many things the "little Eichman's in the WTC did.

3) In the Securities and Municipals business you are NOT allowed to use cell phones for a business transaction because it is not on a recorded line.

This is Ward Churchill's case. He has no case.
