TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Their Kind Are Defeated in the Real World, But Hide Behind Pseudo-Intellectual Academic By Andrew Walden, 2/22/2005 12:09:53 AM Mark Burch, director of the People's Fund, an organization co-sponsoring the speech by Colorado University Professor Ward Churchill, has proved my point in his Feb. 21, 2005, essay in Hawaii Reporter entitled, "Churchill Has Been Vindicated." After years of hiding behind John Kerry, the Osama-lovers are coming out in full view. In spite of the fact they would have their head chopped off if they ever got anywhere near al-Qaeda, they hate America so much they embrace their own would-be executioners....

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Did anyone catch Ward Churchill on C-SPAN Saturday night? (Shows how boring my life is if I’m watching C-SPAN on a Saturday night. . .) Three observations: 1) If this is the face of the Left today, they haven’t much of a future. Pathetic. 2) What’s with the burly security perimeter around the dude? The audience was whooping and hollering for the guy; there was no threat of disruption or harm to the speaker. The security people, with their fake paramilitary-looking vests, made the thing look like a low-rent Nuremberg rally--which is what it was, come to think of it....

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

Posted: February 10, 2005 by: Suzan Shown Harjo / Indian Country Today I met Ward Churchill 15 years ago, before he gained his present infamous reputation. My friend, a college professor, said this Cherokee-Creek guy wanted to meet me. I expected to meet an earnest young student who would relate to me as Creek (I'm Hodulgee Muscogee on Dad's side and enrolled Cheyenne on Mom's). Instead, there was Churchill. Caucasian in appearance and in his mid-40s, he was wearing dark glasses and going for the look of an Indian activist circa 1970. I asked him who his Creek people were...

Activism A Seattle Central Community College campus antiwar group, Students Against War, is in hot water after students chased U.S. Army recruiters off the SCCC campus during an Inauguration Day anti-Bush rally. Nobody was hurt in the incident, in which students ripped up recruiting literature and verbally confronted recruiters. Right-wing bloggers and radio talk shows across the country have gotten hold of the story and are besieging SCCC administrators with demands to discipline the students. The upshot, says Pete Knutson, the students' faculty adviser, was a letter from the administration demanding that the students apologize by Thursday or have their...

Ramsey Clark was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson. Late last month, I traveled to Amman, Jordan, and met with the family and lawyers of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. I told them that I would help in his defense in any way I could. The news, when it found its way back to the United States, caused something of a stir. A few news reports were inquisitive — and some were skeptical — but most were simply dismissive or derogatory. "There goes Ramsey Clark again," they seemed to say. "Isn't it a shame? He used to be attorney...

Thank You Liberals! By Robin Mullins Boyd January 24, 2005 What a month this has been! Just this week, we had the Confirmation hearings and the Inauguration. In the spirit of the week, I would like to extend my hand to the members of the Left and offer my thanks. Thank you first to Senator John Kerry. Thank you for demonstrating your true character when you attacked Condi Rice with reruns of your campaign statements. Thank you for voting against Rice's confirmation in your own mean-spirited show of poor losership. Thank you Senator Barbara Boxer. I did not think it...

DEMS GAVE CODE PINK DISRUPTERS TICKETS By Michelle Malkin · January 21, 2005 10:02 PM The San Francisco Chronicle reported today: The most effective -- and disruptive -- protest may have come from the anti-war group Code Pink, which obtained 16 tickets to the inauguration from their members of Congress. Eight female activists, including Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin of San Francisco, obtained seats in the VIP section. They took their cue during Bush's speech -- when he spoke about the rights of people living under dictatorships to "free dissent" -- and unfurled banners reading "No War" and "Bush Mandate:...

'Were at a difficult phase,' concedes Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, a women's peace group. 'It was easier to mobilize people before the war. Now many people have fallen into the thinking that we just cant cut and run.'John Kerry, the democratic candidate, thew a monkey wrench into activist plans by not calling of immediate withdrawal or even opposing the war outright.Kerry argued he could prosecute the war more effectively than Bush, which opponents of the war took to mean a quicker exit.But Kerry's approach essentially removed the anti war agenda from the election campaign debate, robbing war opponents...

Don't know if this has already been posted. Fox News just reported that a group of radical, anti-male, lesbians were given passes to the Inauguration by Democrat Congress members from New York and California in secret. That allowed them to unfurl anti-Bush banners and make cat-calls within 100 feet of the podium. I have to believe this is a felony in light of the security breach involved. Will the Republicans have the balls to go after these congresspeople, or will they just ignore it?

Jim Angle reported tonight that New York and California Democrats gave prime seats to the protest group Code Pink. This has to be investigated...it is a security breach.

MEMBERS OF CODEPINK: WOMEN FOR PEACE UNFURL BANNERS AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR DURING GEORGE BUSH’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS Washington, DC – As George W. Bush gave his inaugural address in front of the U.S. Capitol, six women peace activists stood up on their chairs in the VIP section and shouted “bring the troops home!” The women also held up banners reading “No War,” “Out of Iraq Now,” and “Bush Mandate: Troops Home Now.” They were dragged out of the inaugural ceremony by the police, and two of the women are still in police custody.

Several thousand demonstrators rallied at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco on Thursday night, protesting the inauguration of President Bush and calling for an end to the war in Iraq. After the rally, demonstrators marched along Market Street, effectively closing the street. Speakers at the rally gave fiery denunciations of Bush and his policies, with many shouting personal insults and some comparing his actions to that of the Nazis in pre-World War II Germany. "Today is a sad day in history. A war criminal has been sworn in as president," said Alicia Jrapko of International ANSWER, the group that organized...

Code Pink Leader Medea Benjamin and another inaugural protest leader were on Laura Ingraham's radio show. Second half hour of the second hour. Show is played tape-delayed across the country. I just caught the very end of the spot. Laura was asking the Medusa if the left had any new protest chants because the old ones have really lost it. Medusa Benjamin said that she was hoping that Laura and her audience could use their creativity to provide some new chants for them.

Like any other group, Communists come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors. This time they’re wearing pink, they’re on the nightly news, and more than anything, they want the mothers and grandmothers of America to identify with them. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the leaders of the women’s anti-war group Code Pink got lost on their way to the carpool line. Since October, these hot pink-clad "marching moms" have been spinning the same tale to reporters from coast to coast, the one about how concern for their families moved them to trade their oven mitts...

Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman (California) is reported to have given a letter to antiwar activists to facilitate their delivery of aid to the 'other side' in Fallujah, Iraq.The leftist online publication Peace and Resistance, in an article published January 1, said that Rep. Waxman had written a letter addressed to the American ambassador in Amman, Jordan to help ease transit through Customs of $600,000 worth of medical supplies and cash collected by the anti-American groups Code Pink and Global Exchange. According to the groups' leader, Medea Benjamin, the aid is destined for the "other side" in Fallujah.The letter was being...

AMMAN (AFP) - Jordanian police banned relatives of US servicemen killed in Iraq (news - web sites) and members of anti-war groups from holding a candlelit vigil outside UN headquarters, an AFP correspondent reported. A police officer at the scene in western Amman told reporters the protest was banned because the activists failed to get a permit from the authorities three days ago in line with the law and urged everyone to leave the area. "The police banned us and asked us to leave for security reasons," said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of human rights group Global Exchange which...
