WFC's..... Ward Friggin Churchill
Dennis The Peasant has a terrific series of updates on Ward Churchill... I'm beginning to think we may need to invade UC to search for WFC's.... Sheesh, folks, this really is a free speech issue. as I noted in a comment section on another blog...
"I'm one of those wretched right wingers (say that three times quickly) and I UTTERLY reject any calls for Churchill to be fired over what is essentially a free speech Issue.Having said that, go read Dennis's posts.. it is GREAT fun Posted by GM Roper at February 9, 2005 08:30 PM | TrackBackSpecifically: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
What part of "make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..." doesn't anybody understand? If I don't give this idiot (churchill) the same rights I have, how long will it be before I lose those same rights. Or, to make it a bit more personal, how long before YOU lose that right?
If UC want's to fire him for falsifying application, or other fraud, fine, but they damn sure better have their ducks all in a row or I'll be one of the first to jump on that crap."

Gamekeeper says.....I am also one of those wretched right wingers and couldn't agree with you more GM.
From everything I have read, it seems that there are other issues, that could surely get him bounced from the univeristy ie: not really an Indian, lying on his resume, etc. But NOT for expressing his opinion.
