CU Professor Must Get the Shaft

This week has been an interesting week for college professor and Native American activist Ward Churchill. Regardless if he truly has Indian blood or not, this man is not afraid to use his mouth (or typewriter or pen), and does not think twice about using that pause button.

It took some time but the chickens are coming home to roost. You see a few years ago after the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks, Churchill felt that the attacks were somekind of payback to us Americans. After all we killed the Indians in the name of progress. Everyone else in the world other than Americans including the Native Americans are so peaceful right? Wrong!!!

While we can’t justify what our predecessors did to the Indians so many years ago, we can’t also let people like Churchill call the victims of the 9/11 attacks "little Eichmanns.”

What Churchill did in his piece is call the victims of 9/11 little Nazis. You see Eichmann first name Adolf was the one who organized plans to exterminate the Jews in Europe during the 1930’s and 40’s. When Churchill was invited to speak at Hamilton College which is 40 miles east of Syracuse, NY; it was time for Churchill to face the music. He is still going to speak at that college...Shame.

He did the right thing by stepping down as chairman of the Ethnic Studies department at Colorado University in Boulder, but to me and lot of other people that is not good enough. He should quit and get out of town. Since he will not do that (at least not yet) hopefully the powers that be at CU give him the shaft.

Now before you wave that 1st Amendment around in my face, let me remind that the 1st Amendment is a statement to our U.S. Congress. Our U.S. Congress can not pass laws that can censor people like Churchill and then some. Now if Churchill was speaking on behalf of some Native America group calling 9/11 victims Nazis that is one thing, but speaking on behalf on a place of higher learning? That is something different. CU is not the U.S. Congress, and their well within their best interests to remove certain people from their teaching positions.

If Churchill said that the 9/11 got “Bad Karma” that might still be an offence but maybe just maybe he might get a pass. But he did not and mentioned a Nazi leader instead. Now bad karma is coming towards Churchill 1,000 M.P.H. Yet this man has no shame when he went on the local Denver talk radio shows. Peter Boyles on KHOW lets Churchill says what he wants, but later on sister station KOA, Mike Rosen eats him alive. Again Churchill has no shame.

CU should cause a car wreck (Not a Real Car Wreck people) for this guy once and for all. As far as I am concerned Churchill should be reincarnated as a Jewish person and hopefully suffer for his statement from this current. If we have one life to live, it is good to know that Hell has reserved a place for Churchill.
