SITTING BULL-S***
February 9, 2005
by Ann Coulter


If Ward Churchill loses his job teaching at the University of Colorado, he could end up giving Howard Dean a real run for his money to head the Democratic National Committee.

Churchill already has a phony lineage and phony war record — just like John Kerry! (Someone should also check out Churchill's claim that he spent Christmas 1968 at Wounded Knee.) In 1983, Churchill met with Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and later felt it necessary to announce that his group, the American Indian Movement, "has not requested arms from the Libyan government." In 1997, he was one of the "witnesses" who spoke at a "Free Mumia" event in Philadelphia on behalf of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Come to think of it, Churchill could give Hillary a run for her money. All that's left for Churchill to do now is meet with Al Sharpton and kiss Suha Arafat.

Churchill's claim that he is an Indian isn't an incidental boast, like John Kerry pretending to be Irish. It is central to his career, his writing, his political activism. Churchill has been the co-director of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, the vice chairperson of the American Indian "Anti-Defamation" Council, and an associate professor and coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado.

By Churchill's own account, a crucial factor in his political development was "being an American Indian referred to as 'chief' in a combat unit" in Vietnam, which made him sad. This is known to con men everywhere as a "two-fer."

In addition to an absence of evidence about his Indian heritage, there is an absence of evidence that he was in combat in Vietnam. After the POW Network revealed that Churchill had never seen combat, he countered with this powerful argument: "They can say whatever the hell they want. That's confidential information, and I've never ordered its release from the Department of Defense. End of story." Maybe we should ask John Kerry to help Churchill fill out a form 180.

In one of his books, "Struggle for the Land," Churchill advances the argument that one-third of America is the legal property of Indians. And if you believe Churchill is a real Indian, he also happens to be part owner of the Brooklyn Bridge.

In his most famous oeuvre, the famed 9/11 essay calling the 9/11 World Trade Center victims "little Eichmanns," he said "Arab terrorists" — his quotes — had simply "responded to the massive and sustained American terror bombing of Iraq" by giving Americans "a tiny dose of their own medicine."

Having blurted out "Iraq" in connection with 9/11 in a moment of pique, Churchill had to backpedal when the anti-war movement needed to argue that Iraq had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Arab terrorism. He later attached an "Addendum" to the essay saying that the 9/11 attack was not only payback for Iraq, but also for various other of this country's depredations especially against "real Indians" (of which he is not one).

In light of the fact that Churchill's entire persona, political activism, curriculum vitae, writings and university positions are based on his claim that he's an Indian, it's rather churlish of him to complain when people ask if he really is one. But whenever he is questioned about his heritage, Churchill rails that inquiries into his ancestry are "absolutely indefensible."

Churchill has gone from claiming he is one-eighth Indian "on a good day" to claiming he is "three-sixteenths Cherokee," to claiming he is one-sixty-fourth Cherokee through a Revolutionary War era ancestor named Joshua Tyner. (At least he's not posing as a phony Indian math professor.) A recent investigation by The Denver Post revealed that Tyner's father was indeed married to a Cherokee. But that was only after Joshua's mother –- and Churchill's relative -– was scalped by Indians.

By now, all that's left of Churchill's claim to Indian ancestry is his assertion: "It is just something that was common knowledge in my family." (That, and his souvenir foam-rubber "tommyhawk" he bought at Turner Field in Atlanta.)

Over the years, there were other subtle clues the university might have noticed.

Churchill is not in the tribal registries kept since the 1800s by the federal government.

No tribe will enroll him –- a verification process Churchill dismisses as "poodle papers" for Indians.

In 1990, Churchill was forced to stop selling his art as "Indian art" under federal legislation sponsored by then-representative — and actual Indian! — Ben Nighthorse Campbell, that required Indian artists to establish that they are accepted members of a federally recognized tribe. Churchill responded by denouncing the Indian artist who had exposed him. (Hey, does anybody need 200 velvet paintings of Elvis playing poker with Crazy Horse?)

In the early '90s, he hoodwinked an impecunious Cherokee tribe into granting him an "associate membership" by telling them he "wrote some books and was a big-time author." A tribal spokeswoman explained: He "convinced us he could help our people." They never heard from him again — yet another treaty with the Indians broken by the white man. Soon thereafter, the tribe stopped offering "associate memberships."

A decade ago, Churchill was written up in an article in News From Indian Country, titled, "Sovereignty and Its Spokesmen: The Making of an Indian." The article noted that Churchill had claimed membership in a scrolling series of Indian tribes, but over "the course of two years, NFIC hasn't been able to confirm a single living Indian relative, let alone one real relative that can vouch for his tribal descent claim."

When real Indians complained to Colorado University in 1994 that a fake Indian was running their Indian Studies program, a spokeswoman for the CU president said the university needed "to determine if the position was designated for a Native American. And I can't answer that right now." Apparently it was answered in Churchill's favor since he's still teaching.

If he's not an Indian, it's not clear what Churchill does have to offer a university. In his book, "A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 to the Present," Churchill denounces Jews for presuming to imagine the Holocaust was unique. In the chapter titled "Lie for Lie: Linkages between Holocaust Deniers and Proponents of the Uniqueness of the Jewish Experience in World War II," Churchill calls the Third Reich merely "a crystallization" of Christopher Columbus' ravages of his people (if he were an Indian).

His research apparently consisted of watching the Disney movie "Pocahontas," which showed that the Indians meant the European settlers no harm. (That's if you don't count the frequent scalpings.)

Even the credulous Nation magazine -– always on red alert for tales of government oppression –- dismissed Churchill's 1988 book "Agents of Repression" about Cointelpro-type operations against the American Indian Movement, saying the book "does not give much new information" and "even a reader who is inclined to believe their allegations will want more evidence than they provide." If The Nation won't buy your anti-U.S. government conspiracy theories, Kemosabe, it's probably time to pack up the old teepee and hit the trail of tears.

In response to the repeated complaints from Indians that a phony Indian was running CU's Indian Studies program, Churchill imperiously responded: "Guess what that means, guys? I'm not taking anyone's job, there wouldn't be an Indian Studies program if I wasn't coordinating it. ... They won't give you a job just because you have the paper." This white man of English and Swiss-German descent apparently believes there are no actual Indians deserving of his position at CU. (No wonder the Indians aren't crazy about him.)

As long as we're all agreed that there are some people who don't deserve jobs at universities, why isn't Churchill one of them?

Hypocryidiot,
Your latest kneel-and-bob episode of "apology of Bush" lost me at the above line." Phony war record? As opposed to what?

You admire the coward because, likely, you are also one.

"W" is the only one I know of with a phoney war record. Suddenly qualifying for flight status when he was not even eligible on the list and many other infractions...which has been deleted from the American Public!

His lineage goes thru Saudi Arabia.

If that is not a coward, I don't know what is. :suomi:

Stopped reading at that point too since the article was
publicly declaring itself as complete tosh.

Yes only a bunch of flaming liberals would read an article like that and come away blaming the author. It's OK the professor calls the victims of 911 little Eichmanns...no problem there. Where's all of our New York Jewish friends? This guy Churchill belongs in a rubber room...not teaching college kids. No wonder some of our liberal posters are so f_cked up. They are taught by people like Churchill.

P.S. Pepper...You better get ready for lots of Annie C. up your way once Fox News gets there.

I'm sure Ward Churchill he has a large cult following including some of the memebers on this forum. I would love to see Bill O'reilly pound the living crap out of John Kerry, I mean Howard Dean, I mean John Edwards, I mean Ted Kennedy, I mean Joe Biden, I mean Nancy Pelosi, I mean Harry Reid, I mean Ward Churchill. They are all shaped from the same cookie cutter.

an oldie but still a goodie...
It doesn't even mention the tax dollars that flow from the blue to the red states either.

-----------------------------------
DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN
Joe gets up and has clean, safe water for coffee because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.

Joe takes his daily medications, which are safe because at least one stupid commie liberal fought to ensure they are, and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of Joe's medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan thanks to group of liberal union workers who fought for paid medical insurance.

Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some pro-feminist liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the shower, Joe's shampoo is properly labeled with each ingredient and its percentage of the total contents. Some cry-baby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on (and in) his body.

Joe walks outside, takes a deep breath, and the air he breathes is clean because more than one environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

Joe has a good job with very good pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation thanks to some lazy liberal union members who fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays for these benefits so the employer doesn't have to hassle with the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check. That was the work of stupid liberals who thought he shouldn't lose his home because of a temporary
misfortune.

Joe makes a bank deposit, which is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe's Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and below-market federal student loan were made possible by a band of elitist liberals who decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he were educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

Joe's car - among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards, takes him to his Daddy's farm, financed by Farmers' Home Administration since bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big government liberal (FDR) stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

His father is retired and living on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, quiche-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

On the ride home, Joe listens to a conservative radio host, and nods in agreement as the personality repeatedly says that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. The radio host forgets to mention that his beloved Republican conservatives fought against EVERY protection and benefit Joe enjoyed throughout his day.

Joe just hates those big government liberals ruining everyones lives!

After all, he's a self-made man who's making his own way and resents the government meddling in his life.
