DenverPost.com - Controversial CU prof resigns as department chair

Remember Ward Churchill? The one who wrote that idiotic and offensive essay right after September 11, 2001, comparing the World Trade Center victims to Adolf Eichman?

Funny--he titled his essay "Some People Push Back." And evidently some people have pushed back--at him, which he did not expect. I could have told him--what goes around, comes around. The latest word is that he's out as Chairman of the Ethnic Studies Department at Colorado U.--but will continue on as a teacher.

And he gave the lamest excuse for his writing that I've ever seen a man give--essentially making a distinction without a difference. He still speaks of "techno-crats of the great business empire" as if it were some dark conspiracy that somebody had to overthrow, and it didn't matter who. Even Representative Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, was unimpressed, if his spokesman's statement is any indicator.

By the way--he will still speak at Hamilton University, but this time in a room that can seat 2000 people, not 300. And apparently a bunch of people are planning to confront him and dare him to repeat his sentiments to their faces. These include many among the 9/11 families.

Can we expect to see any MSM people covering these confrontations? Nah--it wouldn't fit their worldview. They're still crowing over the spectacle of other 9/11 family members telling the 9/11 Commission what a fool the President was.
