The Enemy Within - Update
We met Professor Ward Churchill the other day. Perhaps its time for America to meet the real Ward Churchill:
Churchill's claim that he is an Indian isn't an incidental boast, like John Kerry pretending to be Irish. It is central to his career, his writing, his political activism. Churchill has been the co-director of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, the vice chairperson of the American Indian "Anti-Defamation" Council, and an associate professor and coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado.
By Churchill's own account, a crucial factor in his political development was "being an American Indian referred to as 'chief' in a combat unit" in Vietnam, which made him sad. This is known to con men everywhere as a "two-fer."
In addition to an absence of evidence about his Indian heritage, there is an absence of evidence that he was in combat in Vietnam. After the POW Network revealed that Churchill had never seen combat, he countered with this powerful argument: "They can say whatever the hell they want. That's confidential information, and I've never ordered its release from the Department of Defense. End of story." Maybe we should ask John Kerry to help Churchill fill out a form 180.
Ann Coulter exposes Churchill for the liar that he is and she does it as only Ann Coulter can. oh... and thanks Chrissie, for the tip!
It seems the good Professor has resigned from Chi-U but somehow, I don't think he is going to go away.

Why is it, that lefties who claim to have done great things.. or hell even seen combat, refuse to sign the release forms that would clear the issue and prove them right? (Oh yeah, they are lying)

This guy is a putz. He pretends to be a combat Vietnam Vet. He is not! He pretends he worked for Soldier of Fortune magazine. He did not! He says he was at wounded knee (supplied guns). He did not! He claims to be an American Indian. He is NOT! Aside from being an unpatriotic idiot he is a certified LIAR. The American Indian Movement disowns him. He has no Indian heritage and no advanced degree what is he doing teaching at a university? Check out http://www.aimovement.org/csi/ to read what the AIM says about this jerk.
