[matcom]

[SHRED]

1. I heard him last night a bit on C-SPAN2

He is such an intellectual. No wonder the rapture reichwing is freaked out.
Too much of that there thinkin' stuff ya know!

I thought he explained the "little Eichmann's" comment well.
I still don't know enough about Ward to have an educated opinion though.

2. Ward Churchill speaking at the Women's Building in San Francisco

Between March 25 and March 28, Ward Churchill -- Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado -- came to the San Francisco Bay Area and gave a series of speeches, primarily to discuss the controversy swirling around him, but also to promote his book On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality. The first of these speeches took place on the evening of March 25 at The Women's Building in San Francisco's Mission District.

No American is innocent
One of Churchill's main themes is that, because of America's long history of government-sponsored genocide and violence (at least as Churchill sees it), no American is innocent. In this clip he tries to explain how the victims of 9/11 merited the description "little Eichmanns" simply because they participated in American society:


"You cannot be engaged in a process that derives and devolves from what we're talking about as an historical legacy that finds its footing in that holocaustal horror of protracted dominion on the one hand and generates the kind of carnage on a routine basis that the US projection of power around the world does now and be innocent at the same time. You can prevaricate, you can rationalize, you can justify, you can do whatever you want, but the one thing you cannot purport to, if you are a conscious being in any sense at all in this country, is innocence."
US politicians and diplomats, past and present, deserve to be executed in public
Churchill says he dreams of executing Madeleine Albright and other US politicians -- including the current administration:


" 'A far cry admittedly so: do you see criminal charges against this administration for its current globalization strategy efforts?' I don't know whether the question is framed -- do I actually think there's gonna be criminal charges brought? Or would I like to see criminal charges brought? The answer to the, uh, second question, if that's what was intended, is kind of a no-brainer. I mean I already said I have these delightful visions which is what puts me to sleep at night of Madeleine Albright, Jesse Helms, and Henry Kissinger all in a nice neat little row with nooses around their neck and ... And the current crop is amply entitled to the same destiny as far as I'm concerned. Do I think anybody's going to do it? Well, that's an interesting question. Who would be doing it? There's only one possible answer: you. We. Us."
Attacking Charlie Brennan
Churchill does not take kindly to reporters who write articles that could in any way be construed as critical. In this clip, Churchill launches a disturbing verbal attack on Rocky Mountain News reporter Charlie Brennan, who has been covering the Churchill controversy since its inception:
