| Ward Churchill Calls For |
| 2005-06-27 |
| University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill suggested to a forum on conscientious objection they might be more effective in opposing war if they supported the "fragging" or killing of line officers. In a Portland meeting on resistance to military recruiting, Churchill, famous for comparing Sept. 11, 2001, victims in the World Trade Center to "little Eichmanns," twice suggested anti-war activists should support those who kill their officers. "For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted [and] in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal," he said. "But let me ask you this: Would you render the same support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?" Later, in a question-and-answer period, Churchill was asked whether the trauma "fragging" inflicts on that officer's family back home should be considered, he responded: "How do you feel about Adolf Eichmann's family?" By illegally calling for the killing of U.S. military officers, Ward Churchill has finally merited Page 1, and clearly identified himself as an enemy facilitator. |

| #34 IANAL, but if this isn't breaking the law, then it should be. Incitement, anyone? |

| #33 I think he just broke a conspiracy law or three. The state of Oregon will not have the balls to do squat but he Crossed as state line to do it. Do the feds have the balls? |

| #31 Oh, my, he just keeps excelling! Ward Churchill, the gift that keeps on giving. I posted a couple a months ago, that the UC administration should keep his ass around, just so the blogosphere could work him over like a cheap piniata, whenever things got dull. It is supposed to be an axiom that warriors are always fighting the last war... it looks like the anti-war boys are always fighting the last anti-war... or the one before that. I suppose it is a cheap shot to point out what the initials "WC" stand for, internationally. |

| #30 Lol! Back when I was a "troubleshooter" I used to pass through Atlanta, now and then. "Slimelight" was the local name for the Limelight Club there. A rather injudicious choice of name for their bar, lol! |

| #29 C'mon Ranters... there's more that just ranting you can do, and it feels good, too. CU Chancellor Phil DiStaphano let Chief Yakking Ward off the hook by stating that his vile spew is protected free speech (3/24/05). Well, I exercise MY free speech when I mock and ridicule Churchill (and his minions)right on the CU campus, or at his pathetic speaking engagements. Go ahead and make yourself feel better by mocking a leftist today! Sure it's like shooting stoopid fish in a barrel, but it's fun! It's only our country and way of life they are trying to destroy... |

| #28 The term slimelight is all Alaska Paul's (see post #9). Ward isn't anti-war. He's anti-freedom, anti-democracy, and anti-american. |

| #27 Why shoot him? Let him serve in a non-violent capacity disarming IED's, landmines and UXB's in Iraq without any training whatsoever. |

"But let me ask you this: Would you render the same support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?" Why is it these assholes are never really anti-war like they claim just anti-war when it comes to the West defending itself against 7th Century barabians. If people like this were truely anti-war and acted as activsts against all confict then maybe they would be worth listening to. But when they call for this type of behavior shoot the MFs |

| #24 any chance we can talk him into lecturing in Singapore and make sure he is carrying one of his "peace pipes?" |

| #23 Hey and for this wonderful professor up at CU Boulder, (my daughter had Churchill a few years back) the tuition is going up 28%! ARGHHHHH! Drives me F***ing nuts. One more year of college, I'll try to hold on.... |

| #22 Slimelight is my contribution to the Rantburg venacular. Use it freely, but use it wiley, er wisely. |

| #21 Living in the slimelight, the universal dream For those who wish to seem AP, mind if I use it on our next tour? It works! |

| #20 probably solve his gender issues as well. By the way CF.."slimelight" is a keeper. Do I have to give you credit next time I use it? |

| #19 Good idea Mike. WP would solve his ethnicity dilemma. Methinks the burns would make him a literal "redskin" rather than a pretend tribe member. |

| #18 I agree CF. Besides, as the official representative of Acadimmyduh, he's so much fun to kick around. |

| #17 I call for the immediate fragging of Ward Churchill . . . with one of these boys . . . stuffed into his Fruit of the Looms. |

| #16 Having the Secret Service visit him would only encourage him and give him more slimelight. (I like that term too!) "Help! I'm being repressed!" |

| #15 Scalp him. |
| Posted by: Cyber Sarge 2005-06-27 12:30 |
| #14 Notice that he phrases it as a question. He would incite murder (including against our Commander In Chief), but he it smart enough not to do it directly. I'd like to see the Secret Service show up at his door and ask him some questions anyway. |

| #13 I don't know if you have laws for inciting to murder but if you have, it is time they are put to good use. |

| #12 I can't believe I'm wasting my time commenting on this .... Got here too late to suggest wacking him, since I disagee with him, like #10. I really did like slimelight, tho! Waytago, AP! |

| #11 I agree AP. What Ward Traitor doesn't want is the limelight to be focused somewhere else and he won't be have a stage to play the 'victim' on when Colorado finally get the balls to fire his lying fraudulant ass. |

| #10 Think globally. Act locally. I suggest fragging traitorous college professors with sham racial identification and academic credentials. I wonder how much I could get per pound if I sold Ward's worthless ass to the likes of Zman? |

| #8 ...the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted Um, Ward, baby? Ours is a voluntary armed forces, but why let facts get in the way of treasonous statements? |

| #7 Stake him out to the top of Pawnee Buttes for a week or two in the summer, or to the top of Pikes Peak in the winter - majority choice. Oh, in the buff, like the REAL native Americans did it. If he lives, he's exonerated. If he doesn't, well, we already KNEW he was full of Bulls$$$. |

| #6 This is very liberating. If we conscientiously object to anything, we can resort to violence! I object to Ward Churchill's idiotic verbal spewings, and 'til now I thought I should just ignore them, but now he's given me a solution! |

| #5 I wonder how many of the dildos he was talking to even know who Adolph Eichmann was? |

| #4 What are you trying to do? Why would Ward ever want to think about the implications of his special thoughts! Are you suggesting we give Ward a headache by forcing him to think? By his own inspired logic he, his family, followers and anyone else could be whacked for what Ward says or does, or doesn't say and do. Sounds like he's trying to build a little business trademark for himself through whacky rhetoric. Somebody needs to ask him if it would be OK to frag him and his family when one differs in thought and opinion. Put it to him, apply his logic, and demand an answer (or at least that he squirm with it for a little while). Finally, ask him what he was smoking in the "piece pipe" when he thought up his dribble. |

| #3 Chutch has got quite the stiffy for Adolf Eichmann. Never misses a chance to mention him. |

| #2 If this is ok, does Ward think that the Right to Lifers are right to kill Docters who provide abortion's? He can't have it both ways. |

| #1 Hey, Great Chief Sitting Bullshit ! What about fragging US subversives and commies ? The fact is, this piece of human BS isn't worth a grenade. A spit maybe, that's what tobacco is for... |
