Repubs up in arms over Ward Churchill's AK-47

[quaoar]

Seems the right-wing media is outraged that a college where Churchill is supposed to speak altered a publicity photo to remove an AK-47 he was carrying.

So what is the right complaining about here? Are they upset with the college for doctoring a photo because that compromises journalistic integrity? Yeah right. When pigs fly.

Are they criticizing Churchill for carrying a dangerous weapon that should be banned? Yeah right. When flying pigs reach low Earth orbit.

Well, it must be because they are scared shitless at the idea of a well-armed liberal.

Here's the altered photo:

On the heels of USA Today's doctored photograph of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice this week, a WorldNetDaily inquiry into an altered photo of a gun-toting Ward Churchill has prompted a Seattle-area college to remove the image from its website.

Shoreline Community College had electronically erased an AK-47 rifle from the image of the controversial University of Colorado professor, who is slated to speak at the Washington campus Nov. 8.

But shortly after WND interviewed school officials about the doctored photo, Churchill's image was completely removed from the page promoting his appearance.

"I think we're going to take the photograph off," Scott Saunders, director of student programs at Shoreline, told WorldNetDaily when asked about the display of Churchill, newly disarmed in both weapon and right limb.

3. In my opinion Churchill

is a misogynist jerk with no academic or artistic integrity. In that picture he attempts to look macho and it is completely out of synch with his professed progressive attitude.

Yuk. He is everything I dislike about Republicans and he isn't one. Same cloth, different cut.

doesn't it?

8. The college rejected the other publicity photo

because it showed him with a cigarette.
