Video: Churchill advocates killing of Military Officers
Churchill: "Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect"
Ward Churchill has made some more discpicable comments. This time, he is advocating military personnel to "roll a grenade under their line officer."
When will this anti-American slimeball be fired?
You can watch the video HERE.
Note II: Pirate Ballerina has the full 1:15:00 Audio of the speech HERE.
Note: I am curious how the moonbat left will try to spin this. Freedom of speech I'm sure.... that's getting tired, especially when someone is advocating the murder of US military officers.
Note III: I have been emailing our counterparts on the left attempting to get their response to these comments, as yet, not one will go on record. So- feel free to send your own emails! I want to know what they think about this! *Go see "Where does the left stand?"*
Transcript:
Churchill: "For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal. But let me ask you this: Would you render the same level of support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?"
"...Conscientious objection removes a given piece of cannon fodder from the fray. Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect." - Ward Churchill, Portland, Oregon- 6/23/05
Update II: I have looked up "Fragging" and found this definition: "Assassination of an officer by his own troops, usually by means of a grenade."
This comes from the same man who said this:
Can we run this crackpot out of America yet? How about giving him an all expense paid vacation to Gitmo for the next 5 years? I'll chip in.
Update: Be sure to visit TownHall's new web video "Who would you choose?" A great (and funny) video comparison of Howard Dean and Ken Mehlman!
Best Comment: Major John - "Mr. Churchill is hereby invited to join me for a cup of coffee and to explain why, or if, he wants me killed. Or would he simply consider my killing a more "impactful" event?"
Update IV: Via Michelle Malkin - CU Pof Defends Military Remarks
Update III: Decision '08 weighs in: "I call it treason". I agree.
Les Infants Terrible asks: "Would it be OK to frag his ass yet?"
RedStateRant advocates an EMAIL campaign to the Chancellor of the University of Colorado.Go send an email!
Teen Patriot wants you to email Ward directly! Go do it!
If for no other reason, he should be fired for using the "word" "impactful." The man is a university professor, and he can't do better than that? Given the content of his thinking, however, the idiotic way he expresses it is hardly surprising.
To call him a moron is a disservice to morons everywhere.

Here I am with Officer Candidate School in my future. I can only take a few deep breaths and walk away from this... but it is oh so difficult.

Treason!

While Chutch is, quite obviously, a fascist sympathizer and an amoral monster, it's pretty clear here that he's asking a question--and it's also clear that the O'Reilly people have edited the tape. I thus don't think we have enough credible or complete information here to make a full judgement.
Mind you, I hate this fascist-loving creep. But this could easily be a BS setup in this case.

"Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect."
Dean- That is a stand alone sentence. Unedited. Is there any other way to interpret it?

Bush is Hitler and needs to be impeached and all the military guys who support the Chimp need to be fragged, not once but twice

It will be interesting to see what the left -- whose creature Churchill is -- has to say about this. So far, the academy's silence on him has been deafening. It can't be embarrassment, because the left has no shame.

I would like to speak to Mr Churchill and find out from him why he would like me killed too. Fortunately my soldiers are much more intelligent then he is. Most of them have degrees from real universities too.

If somebody stepped on ol' Chutch he'd make a crackling noise like the cockroach that he is. Which gives me an idea. Does anyone know where I can get a really big roach motel?

I guess it's sort of like Jeopardy, you can say anything so long as it's phrased as a question.

Too bad someone doesn't shove a grenade up this commie phony Indian's ass

Or just stop paying attention to him all together, without saying moronic, inflamatory things he'd just be some doofus nobody had heard of at some college. I would, however, advocate killing him for the use of "impactful" which isn't actually a word as far as I can tell.

He's really not even anti-war, since he simply wants to see other people killed.
Churchill: "For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form"
As a matter of principal, he is not anti-war. He is just ashamed that his side is being beaten.

But if a normal professor (if there is such a thing) at a normal college (if there is such a thing) advocated fragging churchill, he'd be arrested.

This officer wishes Churchill all the best. And I do so hope he gets more and more media attention as we roll into the '06 and '08 elections.
Prior to 9-11, I believe most Americans thought of someone like Churchill (if they thought of him at all) as the unavoidable pimple on the ass of free speech. Post 9-11, however, and the folks like Churchill are more than just a nuisance, they are clearly an enemy within. I don't want them to shut up until after the election. I want them to show to the voting public just how depraved and despicable the Left has become, and for the voting public to go into the polls knowing exactly where each and every politician stands, vis-a-vis such statements.
Then Dems have always been thought of as soft on defense. Now, with people like Moore as honored guests at their conventions, people will start to make the connections between Moore's semi-support of the enemies of the US, and Churchill's all out support of the enemies.
If I were a conservative pol gearing up for the next election, I'd have a paid staffer cruising DU every day, pulling quotes from hard-core Dems on how much they hate the US, and how much they'd rather see the terrorist win than see George Bush pull off a ME victory. I'd have posters made up of quotes by Churchill and his ilk, along with ones from Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy. There can't be a better reason to vote "ABCD" (Anyone But a Communist Democrat).

Why do people give Churchill the attention he craves by discussing his idiotic remarks? He's just another moonbat academic who thinks the world revolves around him. Since academia is a place that the otherwise unemployable can find a job, he and his ilk aren't worth the slightest shred of attention.

The entire audio can be downloaded from Pirate Ballerina (http://www.pirateballerina.com/files/WardChurchil-06-23-05.mp3). You can then here what he has to say in context, and after listining to it, you will agree that this guy advocates fragging as a means to ending the war.

It's true that our divisive times have caused the exposure of many who have been in hiding for way too long.The louder they rant the quicker they can be voted out. Or tossed out of their positions of prominence.
So the blue states will shrink, the MSM will shrivel, and our former allies will lose the importance we injected into them during the cold war.
But with the certifiables like Churchill we do not have the luxury of time. The positions that they have ascended into are for the purpose of teaching and inspiring. By allowing them to continue we are giving tacit approval to their message. It's not as bad as I make it for students are pretty savy. But if you pound the same message day after day, year after year, some of it has to rub off. I do not advocate censorship but isn't murder just a little beyond "diversity"?

At least the Democrats have found someone to sit on the other side of Jimmy Carter at the next Democratic convention.
Michael Moore, Jimmy, Ward Churchill.

Freedom of speech doesn't cover this. Just as you cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater, you cannot advocate murder. This man should be prosecuted.
Also, far more effective than emailing this idiot directly, is to email the university he "works" for, demanding action.

Stop! Stop!
Sure, you can call a man EVIL because you disagree with his views; that's easy.
But this so-called "evil" man was a great painter.
Oh, you mean Ward Churchill! Sorry, I thought you meant somebody else.
