POPSChairman Zero Doesn’t Need a Teleprompter, When Bashing America Of course, he may have just been jazzed about the news of his good buddy Ward “Little Eichmans” Churchill winning his lawsuit. Breaking: Ward Churchill verdict reached… mixed In Denver, the verdict in the Ward Churchill trial was just read. The jury found that University of Colorado terminated him based on his speech, but awarded him $0 for past economic harm and $1 for current damages. Caplis and Silverman, lawyers who have followed the case closely and host a top talk show on 630KHOW, say it should be seen as victory for CU. Interpretation: Jury found him to be an academic fraud undeserving of restitution. http://michellemalkin.com/2009/04/02/breaking-ward-churchill-verdict-reachedmixed/

POPS Ayers & Churchill ~ Joint Blatherfest At Student Protest Meanwhile, AP again chooses to overlook those parts of Ayers’ past that he also has chosen to overlook. Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground, a radical anti-war group that claimed responsibility for a series of bombings, including explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol that didn’t kill anyone. That would be the parts in which people got killed. http://www.julescrittenden.com/2008/12/06/dishonest-narrative-decried/ * I generally prefer to avoid introducing terms such as “a-hole” into current events discussions, as it tends to lower the level of discourse. In this case it raises it.

POPS Barack Obama, Bill Ayers and Social Justice 
In other words, Bill Ayers et. al., along with Barack Obama, have, working side by side, cultivated the ground and sowed the seeds for the fruit now ripe for the picking. Three years ago, prompted by human stinkbomb Ward Churchill , I wrote five pieces about rebarbarization in the academy. The last one, with links to the first four, was called "So This Is Where They Come From: The Zombie Dispositions." In that piece I described how graduate education students are required to prove that they have absorbed social justice dispositions before they will be accepted as teachers. This is how I defined those dispositions, in another post about "community engagement" at Arizona State University's Herberger College of the Arts: It was century-old Progressivism, everyone should serve the common good, including those in educational institutions; they must do what they can to right the injustices and inequities of racism, sexism, poverty, health care, education, homophobia, the environme

POPSWhy We Shouldn't Celebrate Thanksgiving Also recommended: THE EARTH SHALL WEEP: A History of Native America James Wilson Grove Press History ISBN: 080213680X . It tells the history from the point of view of the natives. It gives the feeling of what it is like to be exterminated, all from fully documented sources. Almost too painful to read, but at least by reading it, one can honour all the monumental suffering - genocide and ecocide -- which is at the heart of the European conquest of both North and South America.

POPSTNR's Scott Thomas Beauchamp Like Ward Churchill's 'conscientious objectors'...who Churchill said should frag their officers. This guy claimed a lot of ridiculous things, which have been pretty much debunked already; like chasing dogs in a Bradley. A Bradley isn't stealth enough to chase a dog. It's too loud, it doesn't turn on a dime, and visibility is limited because the hatch is on the left...not very bright. But propaganda works...like Lenin said, A lie told often enough becomes truth.

POPSColorado Professor fired after 9-11 remarks What he said may have offended people, but the way the university dealt with the situation, was more devious than the writing. We deserve the right to make up their own minds, and to destroy our own credibility. When does research become plagiarism ? Surely something can only be researched, by drawing on what has been theorized or discovered by someone else. If something is to be verified, the more sources the better. If you don't like a statement because it is untrue, replace it with the truth. The truth has a longer shelf life.

POPSLeft opts for Iran over our troops It reminds me of one of the signs I saw at a Ward Churchill protest: 'support the troops when they shoot their officers.' It's just another reason Democrats can never be trusted to REALLY support our troops.
