#8  It's rather amusing that all the Native Americans look vaguely oriental, while Mr. Professor Churchill looks gloriously and smugly occidental... very Western Caucasian in fact.

#7  Letter to the editor in this morning's Wisconsin State Journal (I don't know how to post links yet)

"Ward Churchill's curious thoughts on how American Citizens came tobe murdered during the Sept. 11 attacks may evertually prove to be a blessing in disguise. Single handedly, he has provided the necessary departure point to scrutinize exactly what constitutes bona fide scholarly research now found in so many of our public universities.

"Yes, let Churchill speak (at UW Whitewater in March). And then let the real debate begin over taxpayer-funded college tenure, pseudoscience ethnic studies programs and political radicalism that poses in the guise of rigorous academic research. The truth will not only win out, it will also set us free."--Patrick Gould

The Native American Cultural Awareness Assn, the studen group that invited Churchill, says of UW Whitewater's decision to let Churchill speak, "By continuing to host Mr. Churchill's presentation we certainly do not advocate haterd and certainly do not wish to perpetuate the image of the American Indian that hates all white people," NACAA members said in a statement. "Our ultimate goal is to educate and unite, not offend."

I will be very interested to find out how Mr. Churchill proposes to help the NACAA reach that goal. I also wonder what would happen if the UW Whitewater students divided the costs of Chruchill's $4000 honorarium by the number of students paying fees, and subtracted their shares from the next student fees payment.

#3  Somehow I knew he would come out of this on top. I am 1/16 Injun so does that make my cat 1/32? My dog refuses to acknowledge her ancestry and want to remain a mutt. Chief Spouting Bull is completely loony. On the morning show Katie Curic looked horrified after he started talking. She was probably expecting an intelligent thought and statements filled with wisdom and deep thought. What she got was a ranting loon that clearly has lost touch with reality. Let this be a warning to you kids that think drugs can’t hurt you.
