| RMN: Strong Evidence of Misconduct by Ward Churchill |
| 2005-06-04 |
| Not a good few days are coming for "Professor" Ward Churchill. This is just one of five articles coming out in the RMN over the next few days. How this fella will survive the pressure to resign will be intersting to watch. The story linked here is incredible long and detailed. The Rocky Mountain News is closing in on the whole truth of this charletan. My advice for Churchill: Take a settlement. Now. Something is better than nothing. Edited for highlights At the core of the questions surrounding Churchill is this: Is he who he says he is? He has repeatedly said that his mother and grandmother passed on to him the often-told story that there was Indian blood in the family. He's believed it since he was 10, he has said. In speeches Churchill has given this year, he has introduced himself this way: "I bring you greetings from the Elders of the Keetoowah band of Cherokee, my mother's people." At times, he has suggested that he is 3/16ths Indian. That would be the equivalent of three of his 16 great-great grandparents having been 100 percent American Indian. But from all indications in an extensive genealogical study by the News, there is no evidence of a single Indian ancestor in Churchill's long family history in America. Churchill isn't the only member of his family who heard the same story. Many of his wide array of relatives have been searching for more than 100 years, through records that go back before the Revolutionary War, seeking the elusive link that would confirm the family legend of Indian parentage somewhere along the line. So far, they haven't found that link. |

| #10 He is just a lefty thug that signed on to exploit sympathy for native Americans as a way to forward his "revolution." He ought to be kept at the university, but not as a professor. He should be transferred to the medical department for study. History students could also learn quite a bit about the fallacies of revisionism and the mechnisms of propganda by tracking his footnotes back to where they actually lead. |

| #9 I suspect that Chief Shitting Bull is only the most prominent of many thousands of academic frauds who have gained their positions courtesy of multi-cult tokenism and the astonishingly corrupt hiring standards that often result. His case will have far-reaching repercussions as non-MSM journalists and conservative skeptics begin to take a critical look at their local faculties. |

| #8 If I were an Indian, I wouldn't claim him. Isn't there some category we can stick him in, so he can't embarrass any ethnic group that actually exists? |

| #7 I wonder what this says about those other relatives who've looked for their history? But no, this doesn't save him a lick. |

| #3 Churchill is even less likely to resign than Bill Clinton. To resign means that you have a modicum of honor, self-respect, duty, responsibility, or even shame. He has none. He is a bully, a brute, a liar, a cheat and a sociopath. He will not even be passive when dismissed, but will assume the mantle of "victim", using his "victimhood" to "prove" that he is a native American. He is a scoundrel who deserves horsewhipping. |

| #2 I don't give a flying F* about his ancestry. The guy is a traitor, a plagerist, a forger, and a fraud. If I lived in Colorado, I wouldn't want by taxes going to pay this bastard, and certainly wouldn't want him teaching my kids. |
