2005-04-06 Home Front: Culture Wars

An attorney for University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill asked school officials if they plan to use "the Nazi standard for racial purity" as they try to determined whether he is an American Indian... "Do you wish to employ the Nazi standard for racial purity? Do you wish to employ the standard adopted by the United States government for determining Japanese ancestry in order to qualify for internment?" Attorney David Lane asks in a letter to Philip DiStefano, the university's acting chancellor... Lane's letter, dated Monday, devotes little space to the plagiarism complaints and says Churchill can easily refute them. Lane asks for clarification on how the university wants Churchill to prove that he is an Indian...
I bet the refutation of the plagiarism charges involves calling the victims "Nazis".

#2 Let's not get the cart in front of the horse here! Can we have proof he's actually a human being after his comments about the dead from 9/11 being guilty in some great conspiracy? By my definition he's a mere half step above animal and that by no means makes him human, let alone an "Indian."

#3 Research of his family tree, a public record is enough. I am sure they are going to find a way to fire him. They always do even if it is ultimately a forced retirement. The plagiarism charge is what is going to get him. It appears he has been pretty prolific at it. He is trying to play the "race" card without a leg to stand on.

Contrary to popular belief tenure can be overcome for cause. It's just a matter of having the will to do so.

#4 RED-SKIN, n. A North American Indian, whose skin is not red â at least not on the outside.
Straight from the Devil's dictionary.

#6 I would also like to see his CIB because he claimed to be "A Vietnam Combat Veteran" but his military records show he worked in the motor pool. Did walk "Walk the bush" like Al Gore or was he that "CIA operative" that Kerry gave a ride to the Cambodian border on his way to drop off supplies to the Khmer Rouge? Hell just pack Gore, Kerry, and the 'Indian' off to Afghanistan and I bet they could capture Bin Landen, Zarqawi, and the rest of the terrorists all by their lonesome. So many heros to whorship and it aint even lunch time.

#9 # 3 Sock Puppet You have the option's correct.
Churchill should be able to present some sort of
evidence of his ancestory. He might have some luck at Ellis Island~ or start there at least.
And yes, Mr. Churchill will get fired and there is always room on American Idol or the Apprentice

L-O-L

#11 Typical stunt out of the leftist playbook. U asks a question and WC's lip is calling them Nazis. My 2 older children are 50%Inupiaq eskimo. They went through the family tree thing and got certified by the BIA. So can WC if he can document it. The rest is BS.

#12 nearly all indian tribes have qualification criteria (especially those getting casino $!). As I've heard it, WC's only connection is by marriage. He's a lying asshole and needs to live the rest of his life atoning for it. Since his job and pension were based on a lie, he should be banned from receiving a pension. Maybe he can sell trinkets (that he copies from real Indian artists) at some highway stand outside a reservation in bumfuck ND
