| #17 All Colorado needs to do is eliminate his position or department. Tenure doesn't help you if your job doesn't exist anymore. "Ethnic Studies" is bull shit anyhow. If it's real history and culture it can be taught in regular history courses and social sciences courses. |

| #14 I'd like to see if he could make it on his own, without a Public Tit to suck on or Magik Moonbat Money. Real Native Americans certainly wouldn't support this lying sack of shit sociofascist imposter. Itinerant Professor of Ethnic Studies. Pretty valuable stuff, eh? Now we ask ourselves how the US ever got along without people teaching such jewels as Ethnic Studies. Yep, it's a puzzle. Methinks he's 'B' Ark material. |

| #13 the bad remarks have already been made - he won't get tenure anywhere outside Berkley |

| #12 leave him there. We can use him as the poster child for how messed up academia is. |

| #11 And remember, folks. Academic tenture makes it difficult to fire a professor. Not impossible, but difficult. My thinking is that Churchill before the fall term will meet with U of Colorado lawyers and a settlement will be worked out to let him leave without any bad remarks about his employment there. |

| #10 Thomas Brown, a professor of sociology at Lamar University: "One has only to read the sources that Churchill cites to realize the magnitude of his fraudulent claims for them," Brown writes. "We are not dealing with a few minor errors here. We are dealing with a story that Churchill has fabricated almost entirely from scratch. The lack of rationality on Churchill's part is mind-boggling." (Brown's essay can be read here.) Source: Paul Campos, Rocky Mountain News link |

| #9 Not only should he be sacked but he should be thrown in a state (or federal) pound-me-in-the-ass-prison for fraud and theft and (I'm sure the LLL willl LOVE this...) stealing the job of a minority (a real Indian) - would that be considered a *hate* crime? |

| #8 Don't think for one second such a 'thing called tenure' can force an institution to retain a bad employee. In that case, sack him already! |

| #7 Unfortunately, there's this thing called tenure. Don't think for one second such a 'thing called tenure' can force an institution to retain a bad employee. Tenure or not, man is an academic huckster. He became a liability the second the university accepted his employment. |

| #6 Since he falsely claimed to be a Native American there may be grounds to fire him on that account. |

| #5 Lawsuit or not, Colorado is money ahead letting Churchill go now. Were it me running the show I would announce in a press conference that U of Colorado has retained outside council to seek a dismissal of Churchill. Unfortunately, there's this thing called tenure. |

| #4 I'd like to see that happen just to see where his next source of money came from. |

| #3 Colorado has been embarassed by this huckster, and painfully and rightfully so. The only greater embarassment to Colorado would be to keep this charlatan on payroll. Lawsuit or not, Colorado is money ahead letting Churchill go now. Were it me running the show I would announce in a press conference that U of Colorado has retained outside council to seek a dismissal of Churchill. Grounds? We don't need his services any more. What Colorado should not do is to keep him on the payroll. The man will make a stink in either case and it is better to flush this turd now than to continue serving it to students. |

| #2 true .com. The merge of the Islamofascists with our LLL seems a logical one to me. They are two groups that wrap their identity around blaming/shaming others to make themselves feel superior to others. Had they been children of the 20's, they would have been members of the KKK, blaming the blacks - but today the focus d'jour of their hatred is "The US" and "The Zionists". What a perfect merger. Since blame/shame crowd has never been about their own convictions but instead simply looking to avoid responsibility for what's wrong in the world by assigning blame. I guess by assigning it to "someone else" it allows them to sleep with a clear conscience that have done their best to fix the problem by pointing out whose to blame. That the Islamists are against everything that the LLL claimed it stood for that is not as important as the fact that they agree on who should take the blame. Anyway I digress. Good article. It's interesting seeing how these money trails trace back to the same little circle of friends. But what I find most interesting about Churchill was his comment that he went to Libya ""not to buy guns". It's going to be fun watching this web untangle. |

| #1 Yep, he's tapped into the Magik Moonbat Money. He will become another icon - revered by the LLL and reviled by the Sane. The lines are clearly drawn and unless we are willing to go out like lambs to the slaughter, suborned from within, we must take back the educations system - to stem the brainwashing of even more generations. I don't fear the Islamofascists - but the insanity of our own population is truly dangerous. A Second Civil War is in our future if we fail to flush the excrement from Academia's Ivory Towers. |
