[Doctor Raoul]

Great job, thanks for doing that.

I kow - I mean't the essay-why all the outrage over something we can't do a thing about? other than promote him

[newsworthy]

If we approach this issue wrong, not only will every regent be sued personally, but every administrator will be sued personally and professor Churchill will win his lawsuit with triple damages and be back on the faculty, a very wealthy man at our expense," Hoffman said

His attitude leaves me speechless. It reminds me of the line from Dylan's song: Now you realize he's not selling any alibis/as you stare into the vacuum of his eyes...

[mbraynard]

That's a diff issue! But sadly, if a state finances such an institution then it can not bow to pressure and censor speech - especially private speech since this asswipe's essay was for a non-state funded paper (where and for who it was written I don't know).

Oh, I disagree completely. If the state is funding it, the legislature should set guidelines as to what it will be willing to fund. This is a Democracy.

I, as a voter, get to vote on how my tax dollars are spent. I decide who the governor is - he's a state employee. I similarly should get to decide who is a professor at a public college. My secret love makes this all perfectly clear.

UH student Kirsten Chong said her professors assigned her to listen to the speech. "He was humorous and he certainly didn't pull any punches," she said, adding that because she is native Hawaiian, she agrees with much of what he said.

Because she's a member of the Hawaiian people, she has a particular illogic stream. Really? Maybe those people SHOULD have been eradicated by Western diseases!

UC president Hoffman said public debate about firing him only clouds the issue. "The more talk there is about the need to fire him, the more difficult it becomes for us to do that, if that's what we decide to do," she said.

Yeah, RIGHT. Because if the public quiets down, they'll DEFINITELY fire Churchill, but if they're really loud about what a jackass this guy is, UC will have a much harder time firing him. SUUUUURE. /sarcasm

Why do I hear this witch REALLY saying "STOP CALLING MY OFFICE! I CAN'T GET PAST THE MEDIA TO SUCK UP TO MY MULTICULTURALIST BUDDIES!"

[LibertarianInExile]

Bump to that.

[groanup]

This is pretty easy to answer and dispose of. Let Ward debate someone with a brain in a public forum with plenty of media coverage. He should last about ten minutes.

[quietolong]

>>>> supports capitalists should die <<<<

Did he speak for free? Hmmmm?

[Ben Chad]

"rush limbaugh argues that churchill's of more value to us where he's at, on display at the university of colorado."

I agree. Let the freak show remain at the University of Colorado.

[KAUAIBOUND]

She is racially mixed, but prefers to be "native Hawaiian" to get the preferential treatment and benefits afforded to native Hawaiians. Almost all of the "native Hawaiians" are similarly racially mixed, and most of them have some haole blood, going all the way back to the earliest days of Western contact with the Hawaiians. To put it bluntly, Hawaiian women were "hos", and were actually so forward as to be a nuisance for the officers and a desireable distraction for the crews of the merchant and whaling ships which would stop in the Islands for provisions. The scene from "The Hawaiians" with the women swimming out to the ships to bed the sailors was historically accurate. In the end, STD's and other Western diseases almost wiped out the Hawaiians, who dropped from somewhere around 250,000 to 400,000 in 1800 to only 50,000 by 1860.

Oh, I disagree completely. If the state is funding it, the legislature should set guidelines as to what it will be willing to fund. This is a Democracy.

No, Sir. This is a republic which protects minority opinion. I do not want to reintroduce the Athenian democratic device of ostracism. If the state taxpayer funds schools - then freedom of expression and thought - however unpleasant is protected and should be allowed.

[John Lenin]

He fits right in with the other lunatic, Jose Canseco. Blame white people. What a disease we created with the white guilt complex.

What I found ironic was that I spent the majority of the time I spent arguing with the communists who were selling communist literature. When I pointed this out to them, they didn't seem to get why it was funny.

[leaning_libertarian]

Apparently the Honolulu Star-Bulletin has retracted the statement that he said he was not an Indian, in an article here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1349982/posts

[gbtheshark]

You want to talk about a lawsuit Ms. Hoffman? You do nothing and some student listens to mental Ward and loads himself up with ammo and walks into Wall St., as he's suggested they do in a tape I heard from a past lecture, and THEN you're going to have a lawsuit that will shut down our entire state of Colorado..

Protesters of visiting University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill gather outside before his public lecture entitled 'Speaking Truth to Power: Academic Freedom in the Age of Terror,' at the University of Hawaii campus in Honolulu, Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005. Churchill, criticized for his comments likening some Sept. 11 victims to Nazis, defended his position before an overflow crowd Tuesday night at the University of Hawaii, saying the attack on the World Trade Center was inevitable given U.S. international and economic policies.

[William of Orange]

so he said he was an Indian before he was not... hmmm... sounds familiar for some reason...

[ninenot]

Most standard job applications have fine print which states that 'false answers...to any question...are grounds for immediate dismissal.'

[ninenot]

Amazing that you conclude 'all our troubles is Union Trouble.'

You make Ward Churchill look like an Aristotelian thinker.

[hford02]

since we moved to Colorado ten years ago we've dozens of new-age indian wannabes. They build sweat lodges, get "medicine" and "magic" from so-called Shamans (one I knew personally laughs his butt off about this and makes a good living burning sage and smoking these idiots). These hippies are a joke and can't get enough of a culture that they truly do not understand.
