All the Time He is Worth
I really don’t want to give Ward Churchill any more time than necessary, so I’m going to make this short and sweet.
Background: A tenured professor at Colorado University, Ward Churchill called 9/11 victims “little Eichmanns,” referring to the Nazi, Adolf. He wrote this on 9/12/2001, as the bodies of those killed were still smoldering in the ruins of the twin towers. Ironically, Churchill doesn’t believe that the Nazis had a policy of Jewish extermination… a policy that Adolf Eichmann authored. He says that Jews are the real perpetrators of genocide. He also claims to be a Native American, a claim that is groundless. He used this to get a position as head of the ethnic (not ethics… heh) department.
My take: Fire the stupid bastard. Not for the stupid things he said, but for the fact that he’s a fraud, and completely incompetent as an educator. It’s not a free speech issue, it’s a question of “do we want tax dollars to pay a lying, anti-semitic race-hijacker to pass on his poison to students?” He can say whatever he likes on his own time, but he can’t expect to spew that sort of filth and still keep his job as a Colorado state employee.
There, I’m done. Now if only people would stop giving this idiot air time. It is Churchill’s wet dream to get a global audience of millions to which he can preach his lies, and Bill O’Reilly seems happy to oblige.
