An ethnic studies professor from the University of Colorado, Ward Churchill, received a standing ovation last night from a crowd of more than 200 New School students after blaming the 2001 World Trade Center attacks on America's support of Israel and its sanctions against Iraq in 1996.
In a two-hour speech at the New School titled "Sterilizing History: The Fabrication of Innocent Americans," delivered without notes, Mr. Churchill traced what he called a pattern of mass murder as American foreign policy from the time of the country's inception to the events of September 11, 2001, which he said the country was essentially asking for.
Mr. Churchill also called the president of the New School, Robert Kerrey, a former senator of Nebraska, a "mass murder and serial killer to boot" for having served in Thanh Phong, Vietnam. Mr. Churchill also served in Vietnam, an act for which he said he has spent the rest of his life apologizing.

The New School was originally formed as the New School for Social Research, it occupies several buildings in New York. I first heard of them in college, they sent me a bunch of material about their Jazz and Contemporary Music programs. They had a big list of guest artists and artists-in-residence, sounded like a good program. But I joined the Marines instead...
Note my tagline.
At what point it is "provoked"?
If I call him a MF* A**h*** and bastard son of a mother who's a Jewish whore, at what point am I "inviting" the fight?
Certainly he believes in a justification for violent response as he says we DESERVED the 9-11 attacks.
His worldview is vile and it's bad karma.
I wonder if over 200 students cheering wildly for the lies of Ward Churchill is being viewed as a serious educatiional failure by The New School. Shouldn't it be?
"Changing the world," "in the heart of Greenwich Village."
Hilarious. You can not make this stuff up.
Wow! "Delivered without notes!" The New School is such a bastion of the left that you could stand there and repeat the name Lenin for an hour and get a standing O.
And all the Freepers will flame you, telling you that, while they disagree with his politics, he was a REALLY REALLY REALLY GREAT GUY, AND THEY LOVED HIM TO PIECES, BECAUSE HE WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GREAT. This is exactly what happened with the passing of a few recent sub-human dems here.
You mean Chief Horse's A$$, don't you?
Appalling as these young'folks'will be our future leaders.Sad.Very sad.
Look up 'fraud' in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Ward Churchill.
Yeh, that's what I meant; sorry for the typo.
"This tale seems highly unlikely, since military records indicate Churchill was trained as a truck driver and projectionist in the Army in 1966-68, and there is no evidence that during his 11-month stay in Vietnam he saw battle at all."
Well, my point is (bluster) (harrumph) you know, it's like (cough cough) Oh my gosh, look at the time!
If I had an applicant with a degree from "The New School", I'd tell them we only accept applicants with legitimate degrees from legitimate institutions.
I call him "Bonehead."
"But I joined the Marines instead..."
Way to go; you made the more intelligent decision.
I suck.
