Chief Spouting Bull Ward Churchill reportedly helped train Weathermen
2005-02-12
The University of Colorado professor under fire for calling victims of the 9-11 attacks "Little Eichmans," reportedly trained a domestic terror group. Ward Churchill taught the revolutionary group the Weathermen how to make bombs and fire weapons, according to a Fox News report citing the Jan. 18, 1987 issue of the Denver Post. The revelation is among many reported since Churchill prompted a national furor...Churchill resigned his position as head of the Colorado University ethnic studies program but kept his $96,000 per year teaching post. He has steadfastly refused to apologize for his comments. Meanwhile, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater said it will allow Churchill to speak next month, a decision that sparked outrage among state lawmakers, the Associated Press reported. Chancellor Jack Miller said in a statement he finds the professor's views repugnant but believes it's necessary to permit him to speak under First Amendment principles. A former student of Churchill's says she heard him justify the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing during a class lecture. Kimberly Hickel said the professor "actually stood in front of our class and said how the FBI got what they deserved. It was awful." In an interview last April with the left-leaning Brooklyn-based magazine Satya, Churchill was quoted saying the United States should "cease to exist" and that "more 9-11s may be necessary."

#22  Andrea, NO! Let the freak show continue. I love it when the LLL Dems line up behind Crazy Loons like this. The political commercials just write themselves: "Congressman Soandso SUPPORTS Chief Spounting Bulls comments about America getting what it deserved on 9/11, do you?"

#20  # 2 .com Ass clown is a great adjective. Churchill has a hair across his ass, thus
making a total ass of himself. He impresses
me as being a 60's left over. I had to laugh
at him---I think we all have had so called professors like this JERK** Good luck in all
his future endevors

#13  which makes me wonder...just when did Churchill "become an indian". I wonder if it was around the same time he went to visit Libya.

#12  ed.. I may be wrong about this, but I suspect that as a representative for American Indians, Churchill would have been able to skirt the laws to legally visit Libya. Indians have their own sovereign laws and may not have been subject to the same restrictions as other American citizens.

#11  ed---I think that stuff like you mentioned is being investigated. Churchill will begin to feel the heat. When you make outlandish remarks like Churchill made, people will start digging to find out everything about you. For better or for worse.

#10  Pete, from your link:
In April 1983, Churchill went to Libya to meet with Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
The U.S. government had banned travel to Libya two years earlier, saying Gadhafi supported terrorism.


So Churchill broke US law to meet the chief terrorist sponsor of that time. The same Khaddafi who would order the Pan AM 747 and a French airliner blown up. Churchill belongs in a prison.

#9  RC...you are right. It isn't new information. But what is new is the ability for it to be reported in a non-compartmentalized fashion by the blogosphere. In the pre-blog days, we'd have only gotten a blurb here or there about Churchill or about Rosenberg resigning, but no one in the press would have made the connections that are made instantly made in the blogosphere - that Rosenberg was connected to Churchill through the Weather underground...and that Churchill went to see Momo, "not to buy arms", (something he would not have been able to do if he wasn't a representative for Indians - who with their separate soverignty, didn't have to abide by the restrictions to visit a terrorist state).

And while it may well be just a coincidence, it is intriguing that Clinton pardoned arms dealer Marc Rich and Rosenberg who is connected to "not buying arms" Ward Churchill. Coincidence, sure. Interesting coincidence..why yes, yes it is.

Oh..and corrupt Jessie goes to see Momo too. Throw in the whole Castro love fest by this same circle of friends. Then take all the groups like moveon.org, mothers against guns, Code Pink (involved with Contra gun running during the 80's) and the others who all work out of the same office in NYC and ...well ..some will be coincidence, but the connected web between these groups certainly is ...interesting.

I'd really like to see the web of connections between these sixties radicals who are involved in this self-perpetuating backslapping of University speaking fees (that range in the tens of thousands of dollars).

#8  But watching all the bits of information being put together, is riotiously amusing. Churchill is the Forrest Gump of leftoids, apparently--- everywhere and talked to everyone.
It's like a picaresque novel by Tom Wolfe played out in real time.

#7  Folks, none of this is NEW information -- it's just all being put together in a short enough time span that we notice. And Churchill's NOT that unusual -- there are dozens, maybe hundreds on the left who fit his pattern of America-hatred and wannabe violence.

Both Farrakhan and Jackson also went to visit Momo; I seem to remember someone connected to CAIR visiting him and coming back with a case of money. Lots of people claim to have worked with the Weathermen -- it's like having been at Woodstock for the radical set -- but beyond getting the ex-Weathermen jobs once they got out of prison, it's not clear if any of them really did.

Churchill's a conman who figured out how to press all the far-left buttons to get what he wanted. Oppressed minority? Yep -- he can fake that. Marxist, post-modern gibberish? Yep -- he can spew that. Hatred for the US, everything it's done, and everyone in it? Yep -- he can do that.

The people who hired him, promoted him, asked him to speaking events, praised him, and kissed his ass weren't doing it despite his "repugnant" views; they were doing it because of those views.

And don't buy it when those responsible for his rise hide behind the First Amendment. There's no requirement to subsidize speech, but that's precisely what they're doing.

#6  What would be even more interesting is an investigation of the funding of these folk to find out who was paying the bills. It is possible they are still funding vilent leftist causes and should be shut down

#5  Did he train them how to pose for pictures with an AK, shades, and a smoke dangling out of their mouth? And, oh yeah, the beret. Ya gotta have the beret.
I don't think this douchebag could "train" a puppy not to piss in the house. He seems like more of an idea man, the "no heavy lifting" branch of the operation.

Posted by: Sgt. Mom   2005-02-12 10:01:31 AM  

#3  Here's another thing that is interesting Pete. On another thread above we are treated to the fact that Susan Rosenberg was one of Clinton's last minute pardons. Like, Marc Rich .... "allegations arose that Rich had been involved in forbidden arms dealing since leaving the country after being indicted in 1983 for tax evasion and racketeering.

Now there's Ward Churchill who went to see Momo "not to buy arms".

I'd really like to see a time line of these subversive groups...like Weather Underground, SLA (late 70's early 80's) Code Pink (helped rebels in SA) and to match that up with the player's in this lucrative university speaking network - like Churchill, Angela Davis, etc. etc., As that speaking gravy train has been providing these 60's radicals with big cash bonuses- funded at taxpayers expense.

It is going to be very fun to see where this goes!!

#2  Agreed, Pete. Getting stranger by the minute with this assclown. He's definitely a professional something - precisely what is not clear. At this rate, by next week he'll be part of the Kennedy Assassination conspiracy. Some people shouldn't be breathing our air. Methinks he qualifies. Maybe there's a fatal accident in his near future. That would be good.

#1  Hmm, met with KhQGadhaffy, trained the Weathermen, justified the OKC bombing... this is starting to get really interesting. Is he just a free-lance idiotarian, or is he working for someone?
