More Ward Churchill Crap
Dean
So good old Professor Ward Churchill's in the news lately, this time for supposedly advocating fragging officers.
There are problems here, however. First off, it's appearing on on Bill O'Reilly's show, hardly the most credible source, and it's pretty clear if you listen to the tape that it's been edited. Second, even listening to the edited tape, it's clear that he is asking a question--and since we don't know the context, don't see what else he said, we have no idea what to make of this. I might ask a group of anti-war peoplefascist sympathizers the same question just to see what they'd say. It proves nothing.
Mind you, we know from Churchill's previous antics that he's a serial liar an a fascist-loving pig. That's not the point. This looks more like Bill O'Reilly looking for something to get people rile about than anything else. You might as well be trusting Matt Drudge for your information.
Scott: Yes, I linked the exact same excerpted transcript that he did. We still don't know the full context of the remarks.
Ken: He's clearly a fascist sympathizer and fascist apologist. Does that make him a fascist himself? I'd guess if he advocates open warfare against American troops, that would put him over the line wouldn't you think?
I've never seen it and I DVR all his shows. I've seen him disagree what a particular person he's quoted meant with another person but that's it. But, I'll grant you that you may have seen something I have not.
The meaning of the word 'fascist' has become so dulled through repetition that it hardly seems to begin to describe this halfwit's 'philosophy'. The word has lost its impact, unfortunately.
Perhaps mere advocacy of fascist opinions is not enough--the word should be reserved for those that act upon those opinions, such as the concentration camp guard, the secret police torturer, the commissar thug. Then the word 'fascist' would again have its terrible impact.
I refuse to smear the greatest statesman of the 20th century by taking his name in vain. I say Ward Eichmann is the worst kind of CommuNazi traitor, advocating mutiny in our military during a War for our survival, and smearing the 3,000 murdered in the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. He absolutely should not be allowed to teach in any school or university. I certainly would never hire him. I hate his guts. He makes Lord Pork Pork look like a paragon of patriotism by comparison.
I agree with Arnold Harris that this scum deserves the Amalek treatment. The election is over. Bush won and is still the president. Republicans control both houses of the Congress, and will appoint the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (Thomas, I pray!). Pope Benedict XVI is conserving the historic dogmas of the Catholic church, the fundamental Protestant churches are growing, and Jews are returning to their ancient faith, as are Asatruars. So, why are we still wasting our time swatting flies?
1. often Fascism
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
This is exactly and precisely what Saddam was. This is exactly what most of the "insurgents" wish to restore.
There is nothing imprecise about it. Churchill is a fascist sympathizer and a fascist apologist, and he is indeed rooting for the fascists.
The only reason this feels in the least bit odd is because we've been brainwashed into believing the left can't be fascist. This is just a silly mistake. There is absolutely no way in which Churchill can NOT be considered a fascist sympathizer; it's PRECISELY what he is.
The most frightening part of the audio to me is this:
If that doesn't demonstrate his intent, I don't know what would.
I feel that you're a perfect example of it, scum.
No, I'm serious. I mean: yes, he's a flyspeck on the windsheild of life, and a complete waste as a human being, but he has a lot of company.
Disgusting, dishonest little wretches as he gain sustenance from the attention paid them. It gives them credibility.
Why do him the favor?
At this point, It's like O'Reilly and Churchill are in some sick codependent relation, where each is using the other to get attention for himself.
