| Ward Churchill: "Menosabe" |
| 2005-02-23 |
 Ward Churchill, American Indian Movement leader, admits he's not an Injun.On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Brian Kilmeade had a great line. He said "This guy has been posing as an American Indian leader, but it turns out he's just a big fan of 'F Troop.'" |

| #7 Back in law school, a colleague wrote an article about an African-American guy who was trying to get himself declared a Native American so that he could join a tribe that was building casinos in Connecticut. The title of the article was "Why Being Drunk and on Welfare Doesn't Necessarily Make You an Indian." I'm not sayin' he was right, but it was pretty funny (and scandalous). |

| #6 Good. Now CU can shitcan him post-haste. Why? So he can do a money-making, world-wide tour, claiming he's been martyed? It sounds like he's daring CU to can him. Either way, he wins. |

| #5 Oh, lord, what a total, faux, system-playing, self-contradicting, bogus-intellectual, self-parodying fool! It's like Jane Smiley or Tom Wolfe made him up entirely! No, CU, don't fire his totally faux-Indian ass! Keep him, keep him as a cautionary tale, and for the blogosphere to use as an intellectual piniata, during the breaks from working over the usual targets. I look for years of fun, thwacking this idiot on a regular basis! |

| #4 Because pedigree is "not important," except in your job application and lies to gain advancement based on your skin color? I predicted Ward Churchill is now against Affirmative Action... as it applies to him... just as he advocated it when his lies allowed exploitation to his advantage. I also loved this idiocy:
Because "Chong" is such a "native Hawaiian" name? How ironic this Mhore-On uses her own "claim" of victicratic ethnic heritage to rationalize her "agreement" with Ward Churchill's false claims to a victicratic ethnic heritage even as he admits to his lies in a narcissistic rant where he still claims victicratic status. |

| #3 How about FRAUD for cause for termination (if not inprisonment): He applied for and got a tenured professorship at the University of Colorado, Boulder, despite his lack of a doctorate. Listing himself as an American Indian, he prevailed over eleven other Indians who applied for the position, and over the other two who were actually interviewed. He later received an honorary doctorate from Alfred University after serving there as a visiting professor in American Indian Studies. |

| #2 Good. Now CU can shitcan him post-haste. Every time he opens his mouth he contradicts himself. O'Reilly etc. has been saying for weeks that Churchill can only be fired for 1. misrepresenting his ethnicity or 2. incompetence as an educator, and Churchill is stoopid enough to fall right into the "he's no Native" trap. What a maroon. |

#1  "I was targeted because they thought I would be an easy target," Churchill told the crowd of about 800. "That was a mistake. "It's not just an attempt to purge me," he said. "It's a purge of the academy." You got that right you lying sack of runny sh*t! You and your kind are not being paid good money (by hard-working parents) to spread your bullshit and half-baked personal opinions - you are there to TEACH! (Apologies to any piles of sh*t out there which may have been offended by this comparison). |
