"'When he came back from Vietnam, he turned into a radical,' said Scott Davis, a high school classmate. 'He was a war protester. He burned the American flag in front of the Peoria County Courthouse.'
In the 1987 interview, Churchill said he started spending time in Chicago at the office of Students for a Democratic Society, an 'anti-war', leftist group. There, he said, he became friends with Mark Clark of Peoria, a member of the Black Panthers killed in 1969 in a shootout with police.
He also said he met representatives of the radical Weather Underground, and he said in 1987 that he had taught them how to make bombs.
He has declined to comment since then on his 1987 claims.'-Denver Post, February 13, 2005"

Here is a 4 minute video from 2006 in which Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are asked if Ward Churchill in the late 1960s, as he claims, taught the Weathermen bomb making techniques. Ayers says with a sneaky grin: "memory is a real MF-er".

"On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: reflections on the consequences of U.S. imperial arrogance and criminality (ISBN 1-902593-79-0) is a book written by Ward Churchill published in 2003 by AK Press. The 'Roosting Chickens' of the title comes from a 1963 Malcolm X [former leader of the Nation of Islam] speech about the John F. Kennedy assassination, calling it "merely a case of 'chickens coming home to roost.'"
Churchill used the term 'Roosting Chickens' in a short essay Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens first published on September 12, 2001.
In that article, Churchill alleged that the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States were 'acts of war' by the 'Islamic East' in defense against the 'crusades' waged by the 'Christian West' (e.g. Arab-Israeli conflict and The First Gulf War) throughout the late 20th century."[1]

August, 2003: Ward Churchill Caught On Tape Advocating Terrorism [vs Fellow Americans]
Audio link at Michell Malkin's website (included below)
Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.
Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.
As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way —there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)
—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.
And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...
They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.
You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.
You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.
Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.
There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."

Hamilton College's Other Leftist Problem
By Thomas Ryan
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, February 03, 2005
By now, it is well known that New York state's Hamilton College invited, then uninvited, to its campus a radical professor who has repeatedly stated the victims of 9/11 deserved to die. What is less well known is that the professor who sponsored Ward Churchill's talk has a long history of radicalizing her college, shares ideological and family ties to domestic terrorists -- and is still being well-compensated for her efforts to spread anti-American hatred among that college's student body.
Nancy Rabinowitz, who started teaching at Hamilton in 1978, is Hamilton College's professor of Comparative Literature and director of the campus’ Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture.
In addition to the Ward Churchill invitation, Rabinowitz extended a job offer to domestic terrorist and last-minute Clinton pardon recipient Susan Rosenberg on behalf of the Kirkland Project.
However, Rabinowitz's ties to violent anti-Americanism go beyond mere emotional support; she has family ties to those who seek to overthow our government. Her father-in-law was renowned Communist proponent and lawyer Victor Rabinowitz, whose law firm -- Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky and Lieberman -- has represented domestic terrorists, accused spies, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Rabinowitz defended his partner Leonard Boudin’s daughter and Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin, who was personally involved with the murders of three policemen [1981 Brinks robbery]. Throughout the 1970’s, the Weather Underground was responsible for the bombings of the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Capitol Building; the New York City Police Headquarters; and the Pentagon. (Susan Rosenberg belonged to a group closesly associated with the Weathermen.)
Victor Rabinowitz’s law firm served as the primary counsel to the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC), an organization that filled its ranks with members of the Communist Party, and sought to represent radicals individuals and groups seeking to destroy the U.S. Constitution. In the early 1960’s, Rabinowitz was identified in Senate testimony as being a member of the Communist Party USA. His partner Leonard Boudin’s participation was exposed by a defense memorandum based on declassified summaries of secret FBI files on the Weather Underground that came to light in December 1980. The NECLC’s Washington-based office also housed the law offices of the late National Lawyers Guild (NLG) attorneys David Rein and Joseph Forer, who were also associated with Rabinowitz’ law firm. Rein has been identified as a CPUSA member, while Forer served as co-counsel for the Communist Party with John Abt, a founding member of the NLG, who, in addition to serving on the CPUSA Political Committee, also directed a Soviet spy group in Washington (the “Ware Group”). In 1997, the NECLC merged with the far-Left Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and amended its clientele to include not only Communists, but also proponents of Islamic terrorism. (CCR's latest suit, filed in Germany, claims Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal.)
Nancy Rabinowitz has made it clear she shares affection for her father-in-law's son and his causes.
Hiring Domestic Terrorists
In 2004, Hamilton’s Kirkland Project director offered a teaching position to domestic terrorist Susan Rosenberg -- a member of “The Family,” a radical left-wing terrorist group that was affiliated with the Weather Underground.
In 1981, Rosenberg became a suspect in the robbery of an armored car, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and an armed guard. She was indicted for both the plotting of the robbery and driving the getaway car; however, these charges were later dropped, when, in 1984, she was sentenced to 58 years in Federal prison for the illegal possession of dynamite and weapons. Upon her arrest, Rosenberg exclaimed, “We’re caught, but we’re not defeated. Long live the armed struggle!”
Rosenberg’s sentence was commuted by Bill Clinton on his last day in office, and four years later, she was offered the position at Hamilton by Rabinowitz, who renamed the position from “artist/scholar-in-residence” to “artist/activist-in-residence.” Rosenberg eventually bowed out of the position, when her past was exposed. She was to teach the creative writing course “Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change;” one of her accreditations having been that she had won awards for her writing while in prison. One of her poems is a paeon to a convicted cop-killer, entitled “To Free Mumia Abu Jamal.”
Writer Roger Kimball reported that when Hamilton alumnus and official class representative Brendan McCormick attempted to alert his classmates of the appointment of Rosenberg's appointment in 2004, Hamilton College’s development office refused to send out a letter from him, although the practice is considered routine. McCormick later stated that he had to point out to them “the hypocrisy of sending out a press release claiming that you do not censor speech and then turning around and doing just that.” However, public controversy -- stirred in no small measure by FrontPage Magazine's expose -- canceled the appointment.
