Prof. Ward Churchill
University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill suggested to a forum on conscientious objection they might be more effective in opposing war if they supported the "fragging" or killing of line officers.
In a Portland meeting on resistance to military recruiting, Churchill, famous for comparing Sept. 11, 2001, victims in the World Trade Center to "little Eichmanns," twice suggested anti-war activists should support those who kill their officers.
"For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted [and] in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal," he said. "But let me ask you this: Would you render the same support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?"
Later, in a question-and-answer period, Churchill was asked whether the trauma "fragging" inflicts on that officer's family back home should be considered, he responded: "How do you feel about Adolf Eichmann's family?"
Earlier, Churchill blamed the five-month-old controversy over his post-Sept. 11 essay on a faulty grammar-checker.
He did not intend to suggest the 9-11 victims were "little Eichmanns" he claims now. Instead, he blamed the grammar checker for changing what he says he actually wrote: "little Entenmanns" -- referring to the brand of pastries.
"My metaphorical use of food in the essay is, of course, complex to the layman, but surely you've all heard the expression 'as American as apple pie,'" he said. "Well, I'd meant to relate the 'Americanness' and 'lovability' of those poor people who died on 9-11 to the well-known popularity of Entenmann's glazed donuts."
I wonder if he would be willing to submit his original document to a bit of scrutiny. It should contain the hidden changes and the dates those changes were made.
That should clear this up.
Okay. If my son or husband were maimed or killed by an idiot that was anywhere to hear this bastard speak, I'd sue him. Big time. I'd sue his school. Big time. I might even sue his STATE. Big time.
The time is long overdue to cut off Chief Paleface's wampum.
I'm still looking for another source. I forwarded the article to Drudge. I would suspect we will might see it on his site before the end of the day.
I find it unbelievable that someone like Churchill - as stupid, arrogant and tin-eared as he is - would think that making this kind of comment could do him any good.
"I wonder if he would be willing to submit his original document to a bit of scrutiny. It should contain the hidden changes and the dates those changes were made.
That should clear this up. "
I hear that Dan Rather is willing to authenticate Churchill's work.
"Churchill also noted that, once corrected, the essay clearly intimates that "technocrats" refers to the Keebler elves, the marketing representatives of another popular line of pastries. Other errors the relieved Churchill pointed out to reporters included the essay's title itself, which he said should read "On the Justice of Roasting Chickens.""
someone needs to "frag" a professor......opps, that might of been my spell check that made me just type this....silly me
"When is he going to be at least fired? Thanks for finding the story."
Or fired at?
Nothing on that regarding fragging military personal that was also in the article.
Apparently you haven't downloaded the antisemitic spell check update yet from MS.com as ole Ward has.
just KIDDING
My thoughts exactly.
They still have not pulled the article. I am e mailing them to check into infor from that blog.
He knows he's never going to be fired for his remarks, and he needs to keep throwing raw meat to the Left so they'll continue to buy tickets to hear him rant and rave, and so the media will continue to gush over him and tell us all how muchsmarter he is than us flag-waving yokels.
Besides, he probably just gets off on rubbing our faces in his anti-Americanism.
This may be a bogus article. See post 46
