RMN: Churchill Has Got to Go!
2005-06-10
Incredibly and strongly worded editorial this morning at the Rocky Mountain News
My guess is that university officials will "bravely" resist the impetus to fire this charletan based on Churchill's free speech rights and his tenure, as we all know, Churchill doesn't even posses the minimum education necessary to even be a university professor.
Edited for delicious parts

His claims of Indian ancestry, although almost certainly bogus, at least may have stemmed from family lore. Churchill should have acknowledged the truth many years ago instead of slyly trying to throw critics off his track, but it will be difficult for the committee to categorically conclude he knew all along that he was no more of an Indian than King George III.

There are those who insist that the committee's conclusions will be tainted by the fact that the probe would not have occurred absent the controversy provoked by Churchill's 9/11 essay. In other words, however outrageous Churchill's misconduct, it amounts to a pretext for retribution against unpopular views.

Nonsense. The argument implies that any professor who resorted to incendiary speech would be vulnerable to similar charges. And that is simply not the case. You could comb the work of most CU professors from now till their retirement and fail to unearth any significant transgressions.

#9  tu3031 - Right you are, sad but true. That's why these leftsist scum can't be allowed to spew their vile filth without blow-back from the untenured, non-leftyist masses. Without that blow-back, young people like that kid, and others like him on every campus in America, misinterpret the lack of opposition as evidence that Churchill's view of the world is correct and truthful.

#7  Last weekend Churchill spoke at the Steam Plant Theater in Salida, Colorado, and I decided to see the freak show for myself. The 3 hour drive was worth it. After enduring a tedious 1.5 hour presentation of the whining and seething of leftist victimization, I came to 3 primary conclusions:

1. Churchill is taller, and more boring, than Noam Chomsky.
2. Churchill is even uglier in person than in his photos.
2. His gibberish should come with subtitles for the non-leftist audience members

I was the second person to get the microphone during the post-blatherspeech Q&A. Without addressing Chief Yakking Ward directly, I turned to the audience and said, “I want to address the young people in the audience. Whatever path you take politically or philosophically in life, I encourage you not to support hate mongers, like him (pointing at Churchill). That's all I have to say". Then, with the money quote from heaven, the very next person to speak said, “ I want to respond to the guy (yours truly) who says ‘don’t support you’. I’m a young person and I totally support you, even though I didn’t understand really anything you just said”. Churchill tried to narrow it down and asked what he didn’t understand, the examples, the presentation, the issues, to which the young man replied, “pretty much all of it.”

PRICELESS!

Here is Churchill reading the anti-Churchill, anti-leftist pamphlet I handed out before the speech (entitled LIBERAL YES LEFTIST NYET), including this copy I personally handed to the scumbag for his very own. So much entertainment for only $10!

Oh, he can go work at the Socialist Peoples Workers Daily - a.k.a. on the east coast as the NYT or the west as the LAT.

#1  If he goes, where will he go? I'd rather have this ass-clown spouting his idiocies from a rooftop somewhere.
