i'm guessing that this was probably not the exposure that the university of hawaii has been looking for:

"the university of hawaii should be ashamed." by bill o'reilly (fox news) the ward churchill controversy is not about free speech. it's about hate speech. the radical professor simply hates america and is being rewarded for that point of view by some major colleges. the university of hawaii gave churchill an all expense paid trip to oahu to reiterate what he has said before, that americans working in the capitalistic system at the world trade center on 9/11 were justifiable military targets. ward churchill: you remember on that day a whole new word entered the language. it was innocent american. it's not two words, it's one. innocent americans. we're innocent by virtue of being americans. those who embrace a policy that has a history and a present reality like that cannot conceivably at the same time purport the innocence. just vile. churchill went on to say that many killed in the world trade center and at the pentagon were little nazis, something he has said before. but who is the real nazi here? hitler and his crew killed millions of civilians and justified it. churchill believes american civilians are legitimate military targets. there's no question churchill is echoing the nazi philosophy. ward churchill is not a danger to america. he's insignificant. but he is bringing pain to people who lost loved ones on 9/11. that's cruel. what is not insignificant is that the university of hawaii embraced churchill, provided him a vacation, and the audience gave him three standing ovations. while outside, just a few demonstrators spoke out against this misguided individual. what is wrong at u.h.? this is disgraceful. that institution will never command my respect again. in addition to being a propagandist, churchill is unrepentant about anything he has said. churchill: contrary to bill o'reilly for whom we may also thank for this evening, i did not justify, i did not advocate the events of 9/11. i considered the events of 9/11 natural and inevitable. natural? murdering civilians is natural? and the university of hawaii is paying this guy? and people are applauding and yucking it up? once again, this controversy is not about churchill, who is desperate for attention. it's about major colleges in the usa legitimizing the man. shame on the university of hawaii. shame on you.

don't forget:

"speaking truth to power" professor ward churchill (university of colorado) university of hawaii - manoa, art auditorium tuesday, feb. 22, 2005, 7 p.m.

"to say that this goofy child president is looking more and more like richard nixon in the summer of 1974 would be a flagrant insult to nixon. "we have become a nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world—a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. we are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. we are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. "well, shit on that dumbness. george w. bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my friends or the people i respect in this world. we didn't vote for these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for america today—and we will not vote for them again in 2002. or 2004. or ever. "these flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like george bush... are the same ones who wanted to have muhammad ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks."
