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.

Did you happen to notice that they offer no practical degrees? NO Engineering, no science, no math - IOW, nothing that can be used in the real world? The closest thing they have to a "useful" degree is in the "soft-sciences."
Huh ?
At this point in time, I would be happy with simply patriotic.
Why is it so un-trendy to support your country? Why are these America-haters left unfettered to denounce and undermine this country's policies?
Methinks the poor Constitution has been over-stretched like an old rubber band.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Why is he still on the Colorado payroll ? How much longer ?
Who needs notes when you're making sh!t up out of whole cloth?
I guess this wouldn't exclude racists Native Americans or Latinos. Only ANTI-racist whites can be included.
Be my guest. Nothing required.
The idea is that only whites can be racists, so it is superfluous to speak of anti-racist Latinos or anti-racist Native Americans. But it looks like Asians are out of luck--they aren't welcome whatever their attitudes.
Why should he need notes, He spouts the same crap every time he opens his mouth.
is this going to turn into another dwarf story ?
And unfortunately.
200?? Wow! In New York City? Impressive! (sarc)
Even the spell checker could not save this moron Journalist.
"...Native Americans, Latinos, and anti-racist whites."
What if someone said "Native Americans, Latinos, and intelligent blacks."
Wouldn't that be racist?
Hey, Jamila, why don't you try to find some "anti-racist" minorities for once? People like you are the last major exponents of flagrant racism, bigotry, and depravity in the USA. Sure, there are few nutball racists among "whites" but by far the largest number (and most influential) racists in America today are all the nutjobs like you, Jamila. The radical racists on campuses and in the MSM, etc.......
Keep it up, and this time will be shortened!
Do they have pickup trucks in NYC???
UM...

DENVERAn exhaustive investigation by Bob Newman of Newsradio 850 KOA (Denver), who is also a frequent guest military & terrorism analyst on the FOX News Channel and a Men's News Daily columnist, into the genuine Vietnam service record of radical University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill, has revealed that Churchills claimed combat experience is in direct contradiction to his official military records.
After a confidential source provided Mr. Newman with documents pertaining to Professor Churchills military service and his employment at the University of Colorado, Mr. Newman began an investigation into the documents authenticity.
Using his own sources and calling upon the investigative skills of FOX News Channels Rita Cosby, Mr. Newman was able to verify that Professor Churchill, despite his public claim (in a 1987 Denver Post interview) of having been a paratrooper (Airborne qualified) who conducted long-range reconnaissance patrols (LRRPs; extremely dangerous missions conducted by some of the most elite soldiers in the US Army) hunting North Vietnamese in Vietnam during and after the Tet Offensive of 1968, and despite his claim that he was a point man in an infantry combat unit, was in fact trained only as a jeep driver and projectionist (he was trained to operate film-strip machines and movie projectors), according to official documentation from the National Personnel Records Center, the US repository for military records.
Denver attorneys Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman, both colleagues of Mr. Newman at Clear Channel Colorado, then acquired Professor Churchills original resume that resulted in his being hired by the University of Colorado. That resume matched exactly the resume Gunny Bob had acquired from his confidential source. On that resume, Professor Churchill cited no combat experience whatsoever, no Airborne training, no infantry training or experience and no winning of the Combat Infantry Badge. Instead, it said his experience in Vietnam consisted of his duties as a Public Information Specialist, as which he wrote and edited the battalion newsletter and wrote news releases.
Verification of Professor Churchills real Vietnam service record was completed with the direct assistance of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis.
Gunny Bob notes that in the same 1987 Denver Post report, Professor Churchill admitted to being a bomb-building and weapons instructor for the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group active in the 1970s.
Gunny Bob won a 2002 National Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting on homeland security.
