Ward Churchill is an Ass

Reflecting on our own rights and wrongs is something bizarrely and sadly seen as weak or just wrong by way too many American "leaders" (and followers), but that's being said by many thoughtful and courageous people already. I don't need Churchill to add to that for me. Does anybody? I'll let them decide.

And this seems like an ass of an article:

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- The president of the University of Colorado has recommended that a professor who likened some September 11 victims to a Nazi should be fired, according to the professor and the school.

Ward Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies, has denied the allegations and threatened a lawsuit if he is dismissed.

Would you walk away from that thinking that Churchill "denied the allegations" of likening 9/11 victims to a Nazi? And that the president of CU was recommending his firing for that likening?

You'd be wrong. Later in the article:

University officials concluded he could not be fired for his comments because they were protected by the First Amendment, but they launched an investigation into allegations that he fabricated or falsified his research and plagiarized.

.

That is some seriously crappy reportage right there. These are the actual allegations that have prompted Brown to call for his firing.
