Flight Pundit

I looked at the Ward Churchill Ward Churchill Solidarity Network and laughed at how stupid people are, They are on the other side of the world and think they understand what is going on based on their own political leis blinders and all.

Dear CU Regents,

I am an American Citizen living in Germany where I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Biophysics.  I have been following the case of Ward Churchill’s alleged academic misconduct.  It appears to me and I would venture to say much of the rest of the Western world, especially here in Germany, that these charges are foundless.  When I discuss this case with other graduate students here they are repeatedly astounded at the treatment Dr. Churchill is recieving.  They are shocked, as they somehow have a notion that America is a bastion of free speech and this case is clearly about censorship.  As open discussion about September 11, 2001, terrorism and America’s war on Iraq are much less  emotionally charged and more rational here in general, such scapegoating of prominent intellectuals is viewed in a quite negative light.  I would hope that you consider that these issues attract international attention and are actually very closely followed here.  They do not sit well with many in Europe and are especially disturbing to those in academia, who consider censorship based on blatantly political motives contrary to the very idea of academia itself.  Please reconsider your position on these charges.  It is obvious that they are spurious.  As a scientist and a rational human being I would have to say that any serious evaluation of the charges as they stand do not have any merit and are not sufficient as a basis for the dismissal of a tenured professor.

Sincerely,

If this ASS-HAT was capable of independent thought he might make a better case, but ASS-HAT it is.

then this kool-aid drinker who has to explain where he lives, like we care

Dear Sirs:

I am living in Portugal, what representatives of your federal administration use to call “Old Europe”.

As perhaps might have come to your attention, Pew, Zogby, and a host of other worldwide opinion polls have shown that the standing of the United States of America in the rest of the world has suffered a great deal during the last years. However, I have been able to use Ward Churchill’s Essay “Some People Push Back” with considerable success in countering antiamericanism here. Most people respond like, “well, not everything is lost over there if they still have people like Ward.”

It is true that the Nov. 2004 reelection of George W. Bush was not exactly helpful in this matter, however I think you should award Mr. Churchill a medal for improving America’s image worldwide, not fire him.

Sincerely yours,

Martin Kratz
Portugal

And the world wide polls matter to the fact that Ward Lied, Cheated, and was lazy and lowered the bar on ethics..

I live just south of Boulder and Ward has disgraced himself and the The University of Colorado.
