.well, well, well...what a surprise. :cool:

Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband. He waves around an honorary membership card that at one time was issued to anyone by the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. Former President Bill Clinton and many others received these cards, but these cards do not qualify the holder a member of any tribe. He has deceitfully and treacherously fooled innocent and naïve Indian community members in Denver, Colorado, as well as many other people worldwide. Churchill does not represent, nor does he speak on behalf of the American Indian Movement.

Kind of hard to talk with any authority about the "genocide visited on my people", when your complete and utter fake.

Prediction = Churchill hits the unemployment rolls by March 15th latest.

this guy just gets more pathetic and deranged by the moment... what a total fruit cake. :D

How did this bozo get tenure, anyway? As I understand it, he doesn't even have a PhD!

it is rather striking... this instance can't do much for the pedigree of the university. :)

What a maggot. That guy disgusts me.

There is an easy way to solve this conundrum; unfortunately, the only source addressing the issue is the controversial and revolutionary website La Voz de Aztlan.

As it is, the organization claims to have received anonymously information alleged to be mitochondrial DNA testing of Ward Churchill, which is said to demonstrate that he does, in fact, have indigenous markers:

The genetic test results of Professor Ward Churchill show that he is a descendant of Creeks through his father and of Cherokees through his mother. A copy of the test results was forwarded to La Voz de Aztlan under conditions of confidentiality. Because of credible death threats to an east coast college where Professor Churchill was scheduled to speak, it was requested that the name of the genetic laboratory not be released.

Of course, it is LVdA: major news sources have not given attention to this story. Keep your eyes peeled; it might actually climb the ladder into legitimate news sources.

I have attempted to contact Ward Churchill via email in an effort to confirm the story above:

I hope to confirm the veracity of a news report recently published about you amid the developing controversy. The revolutionary website La Voz de Aztlan, much controversial among mainstream news readers, has published an article under the byline of Ernesto Cienfuego stating that you have undergone mitochondrial DNA testing, which showed indigenous markers establishing your own American tribal heritage (see address below).

At present, the February 7, 2005 story does not appear in Google news; it seems major news outlets are not carrying the story.

I would like to ask if you can confirm or repudiate the news story, as the third tier of discussion about the controversy you find yourself immersed in seeks to diminish your name by questioning your heritage as a matter of credibility. It is my understanding that such testing as discussed in the La Voz article would put such questions to rest.

As the address I used can be found online, there is no guarantee that anybody's reading it at this point. I would imagine he's getting quite a few emails these days.

We'll see what comes or doesn't.

What? Don't tell me I'm the only one around that's thought of that.

It's a free speech issue, not a popularity contest.

College, a place for radical ideas? ...go figure.

THe native american groups want nothing to do with this guy... no one does.

spidergoat...Free speech issue? Then why does Churchill's UC Boulder have speech codes?

Why was an Affirmative Action Bake Sale students told they could not use College Grounds for their political street theater? And, after they were shamed into allowing it, why did liberals form a blockade around the event so people were intimidated into getting close to see what it was all about. Why, after that and after Bake Sale tables were overturned did the UC Boulder adminstration take no action against the disruptors?

If this character had asked for a moment of silence in his class room or discussed christianity in any serious way then he would have been fired... I don't see the difference.


This guy is an embarressment, he crossed the line, he using willfully specious arguments, and he's drawing entirely too much heat.

The University can ditch him for the above reasons. He's had it coming.

It's very simple. Character assassination. Attack the character and not the message. I could care less if this guy has even killed someone. Even liars, idiots, and murderers can say some true, good stuff. That doesn’t change the fact of what he wrote. While I don't care for this guy, what he wrote does try and slap some sense into people in regards to how bias takes over and hinders peoples views on things. So while I may not be behind him in regards to 99% of the other stuff he does, the same as would apply to some idiot, in this rare case, I'm behind his message and any rare smart thing an idiot may say. But unfortunately, messages tend to get lost when coming from a quesitonable source. Heck, even from a solid source, people tend to lose the meaning of something. Nothing new here in that regards.

- N

Well said -N-......Kinda reminds me of Scott Ritter(former weapons inspector) when he came out and said that there was no weapons in Iraq and that the US knew it and were using his crew as "spies" he was accused of being a Communist and even that he had "kiddie porn" on his computers(later proven to be untrue)

this guy deserves to go down and think most of us are glad that he is... Good night.

...till they come for you...

this is a duplicate thread. I see no substance different from the arguments in the OTHER thread so this one goes
