If you support Ward Churchill you are supporting someone who said that the three thousand people murdered on Sep 11 weren't innocent. If you support Bill Ayers you are supporting someone who planted bombs and wrote that his parent's generation needed to be murdered. Proud liberals - what a joke.

We don't really know what "support" Ward Churchill means, but obviously there is only one patriotic conclusion: anyone who says that three thousand murdered people weren't innocent should get the death penalty. * Personally, I've thought Churchill a fake, preening lunatic for a decade now, but I beg the forgiveness of all the True Patriots out there for having let this Churchill fellow live.

In fact, anyone who doesn't immediately volunteer for a mob to lynch Ward Churchill (or anyone else who either has or is alleged to have said terrible or anti-American things) is himself or herself a collaborator, who must face his or her own lynching.

Since there may be other academics out there who endorse Truly Unpatriotic ideas, a guideline must quickly be issued on the proper comments to make regarding September 11th, the fact that it completely wasn't the fault of the ex-cheerleader failed businessman in the White House, and that it was the fault of any assorted numbers of Arabs, Persians, Muslims, Middle-Easterners, or Brown People in General.

I think a fatwa is in order, and no one is more qualified to verbalize the edict than Norman Podhoretz and David Horowitz.

*This only applies to victims of the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. Right wing nut cases are therefore free and morally encouraged to utter remarks of non-innocence toward any other groups of 3,000 non-American, and especially brown people.

Logic

If you don't support some of the things that somebody said, then you must dislike EVERYTHING they ever said?

If you do support something that somebody said, then you must support EVERYTHING they ever said?

Yes.

Because of our failure to follow this simple rule, Ward Churchill's portrait anoints the wall of every one of the millions and millions of liberals throughout this country.

Because we failed to lynch this weird academic who was the first weird academic in the history of the universe to secure an academic job even though some of what he said was really crazy, Ward Churchill's hymns are sung in every liberal church across the nation each Sunday morning. (Satanic churches, admittedly, but still, Satan is one thing; Ward Churchill is evil.)

The liberal infection that calls one to think, to reason, to make decisions based on appeals to logic and careful consideration of consequences, whether or not tradition and authority and the common passions of the people support such thought, can only be cut out like a cancer (as was said in movies from the 1950s, the time when Everything Was Good and Right).

If Ward Churchill hadn't been teaching his whatever courses in Colorado or where ever, the 9/11/2001 attacks could never have happened, because otherwise there might have been a strong, manly conservative at the helm of the nation who never would have allowed such calumny.

Logic

If you criticize your children, it shows you care about them.

If you criticize your president, it shows you hate America.

Therefore, if you love your children more than anything in the world, you will criticize them unceasingly.

Similarly, if you truly love, deeply love America, then each and every one of the utterances which pass your lips will praise the President, praise Him on high.

You are welcome, but I do hope that you have removed all Ward Churchill paraphernalia from your person, your packages, your vehicles, and your homes. We cannot be too careful when dealing with the man who has caused such enormous quantities of deaths throughout the world through his use of rude and cruel comments repeated endlessly by right wing media sources.

Is The Darkness merely a reflected aspect of the multi-dimensional, pan-cosmological existence of Ward Churchill?

Just add this to the list of genocidal and near-genocidal policy activities which right wing (and on occasion "sensible liberal" or "sane moderates") feel free to recommend, which if were ever recommended to be carried out in U.S.-allied societies would be seen for the horrors they are.

No recommendation is off the table. From widespread use of nuclear weapons to the destruction of crops and agriculture to starve a population.

Only on occasion do they truly get their wishes truly fulfilled, such as Paul R. reminded us recently of how enthralled the Reagan administration -- and the same advisers who serve Reagan II, or Bush Jr. -- and their worshipping pundits were with the genocidal tyrants of Guatemala, who slaughtered so many of those nasty, hill-dwelling Mayans.

On the positive side, somewhat, if there is one, I do believe that if ordinary Americans did not retain some degree of resistance to the ever-lurking genocidalism and ethnocidalism of parts of our foreign policy establishment and its nuttiest propagandists, then they wouldn't seek to so constantly cloak ugly talk and ugly actions with pretty ideas and media misdirections and outright propaganda.

If they didn't think Americans would resist their murderous impulses, they wouldn't spend so many billions and billions of dollars lying about them, in subsidizing right wing TV networks, in radio networks, in money-losing right wing publications, in "think tanks", etc.

If they really thought ordinary people agreed with their venomous and murderous impulses, they would give up the language of the democracy and the human rights, etc., and just speak plainly that they wanted to carry out some action so that they could harm, punish, make suffer, and kill people they just really don't like.
