Fraud Told To Stay Home

Eastern Washington University is the latest to withdraw its invitation and withold it speaker's fee from Ward Churchill.

And like the others, the Eastern's administration could not bring itself to admit that the speaker was just too foul. Instead, they cited vague security concerns.

In truth, they're just exercising good judgement a little late in the game. The Eastern would not invite a neo-Nazi for a paid lecture.

Ward Churchill is today fraudulently claiming that he has been taken out of context, that he never endorsed the 9/11 attacks in the first place. But, in fact, after his first statements on the attacks gained him notoriety, he said that “One of the things I’ve suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s are necessary.”

In other words, bring on more terrorism.

And, if you read this interview of Churchill on an animal rights website, he makes it clear that he favors the complete annihilation of the United States.

"I want the state gone: transform the situation to U.S. out of North America. U.S. off the planet. Out of existence altogether."

Ward Churchill isn't even the Indian he claims to be.

''It's disturbing that anyone would use such hateful speech, and do so while claiming to be an American Indian when there is significant evidence that he is not. Professor Churchill caused many in the media to falsely believe an American Indian scholar could besmirch the lives of those who died on 9/11. Because of this, he owes every American Indian an apology.

''Likewise it is sad that he would perpetrate this apparent hoax on Hamilton College, an institution founded to help educate Indian students.'' (Hamilton was founded by Samuel Kirkland, 18th century missionary to the Oneidas, and the famous Oneida Chief Schenandoah is buried on its grounds. The Oneida Nation owns Four Directions Media, publisher of Indian Country Today.)

The American Indian Movement, of which he claims to be allied, totally repudiates Chruchill and summarizes their opinion of him in this cartoon.
