It seems Ward Churchill is doing a good job of doing what he does best, running his cockholster.

Encouraging guys to frag their officers - does this border on criminal action?

Ward Churchill backs fragging
Controversial '9-11 prof' suggests rolling grenades under line officers

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?"
 
WTF!? I imagine this could easily be considered seditious, if not treasonous. I need a book of law...

However, what is this "9-11 prof" title about. Please shed some light for me, he interests my greatly. I think they may have shown a bit about him on the Daily Show. I can't believe this guy has a job at any institution, no less a university.
 
Never mind, I bring forth a link! Be in awe of Mr. Churchill!

Behold the tale behind the man and his wind-boggling accomplishments!

Simply

if anyone does frag their officer AND says they did it because of Churchill

Then Churchill is liable for muder... inciting murder


 
He won't get charged for it though.  Persecuting any of these idiots would only give their compatriots more to work with.  It'd be seen as justifying their claims that the US is turning into a fascist state.  The fact that he'd be guilty and deserve it is immaterial; one of the movements that Ward there is involved with is one which is very popular among the left - the movement to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, a convicted cop-killer.  To the majority of the blame-america-first crowd, facts, logic, and legality are annoying inconviniences at best;  all they're truly concerned with is image.  Arrest Ward Churchill and the only result will be more protests and more violence from the far-left.  So yes, while a legal case could easily be made against him, it's just not worth it.
 
This is the first time I have ever heard of this guy ? Is he for real? What joke people like him give a whole new meaning to being   called a nut job .
 
I say, give Churchill an honourary Commission  ;D ;D

Then of course, feed him to those he encourages.
 
Bah, the guy's a twit and a perfect example of the pseudo-academics that populate some faculties at most universities.  This one happens to enjoy controversy and stirring up the s**t.  See his "explanation" (apologies if the link's already been posted):

Interesting that he claims to have been in Vietnam.  You'd think by his photo that he wouldn't have been old enough...

I tend to give these w*nkers the attention they deserve - none.

Some Gyrene will come back from the 'Rack and drive a knitting needle up into his brain stem.

Or not.  After all, Hanoi Jane is still walking around.
 
What ever happened to passive resistance? It's okay to disagree with something, but to condone killing?

If he keeps pushing the limits however, he could be charged with inciting a hate crime. Or since he seems to be one of those "hate government" for the sake of it types, they could probably dig a little and get him on tax evasion  :P.

It all depends on how much (serious) attention he really gets before they actually do anything.

Oh he was in 'nam.

He was drafted by the US Army and saw active service in the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968. Churchill's military records, as obtained by the press through the Freedom of Information Act, show his training to have been as a projectionist and light truck driver. Churchill later received his B.A. and M.A. (in Communication) from Sangamon State University (now the University of Illinois at Springfield).

So he operated a projector and drove a truck.  Quite the military experience he's got there.

Oh and about his "Indian Roots"?

WorldNetDaily said:
His long hair and sunglasses, however, did not impress his fellow Indians. "The American Indian Movement doesn't need whitemen [sic] wannabes claiming to be Indians, claiming to be AIM directors running around representing the movement" said AIM leader Vern Bellecourt in 1994, asking prophetically, "Who is Ward Churchill?"

The Rocky Mountain News did a little fact checking on Churchill and discovered that he was at most 1/64 Indian, and probably not even that. Not surprisingly, Churchill's scholarship is as dubious as his identity. One area where he has had considerable influence is on the subject of genocide. The primary thesis of his book, "A Little Matter of Genocide," is that "we" native Americans are "one of the most victimized groups in the history of humanity" and that the "settler population" has and continues to shoot, stab, beat, burn alive, scalp and "deliberately" infect Indians with infectious diseases "when deemed expedient."

A phoney in every aspect of his life.

Projectionist, eh?   ::)

I just couldn't be bothered to look him up any further than I did...even to the extent of looking at Wiki...  :boring:
 
"So he operated a projector and drove a truck.  Quite the military experience he's got there."

- Maybe he's getting a pension for PTSD?

Ward...Meet reality.

No huh?!

Oh well...

That's about as much time as I'm prepared to give this little weaner.
