Video: Ward Churhill Pushes Reporter in Anger Over Plagiarized Art

Can you lose your tenure for just being an f'n' douchebag?

And... Video of Maurice "Moonbat" Hinchey on Hannity and Colmes.

Get a load of this guy.

Update-- Churchill Will Go Quietly... For $10 Million: Otherwise he'll sue you and everyone you know and work with, Jerky-Boyz style.

Thanks to JimW.

OT: There's a little contest going on at King of the Blogs and last I looked, Dr. Sanity's blog was only a few votes away from tying it up.

Please help out by going there and voting if you would. I hope Ace won't mind me posting this here. Thanks!

You're so funny Ace. All the mockery about the left and 'gannongate' and yet you spend a huge amount of time bloviating about... Ward Churchill? As if he anyone knew who he was, cared who he was, or that he even mattered...

good stuff.

Oh, and to Mr. "Good Stuff":

The ridiculousness about Gannongate is that lefties are trying desperately to make it a huge scandal b/c this guy got to ask a question at a press briefing.

Ward Churchill is in the news because he represents a somewhat more extreme example of morally repugnant (as well as sloppy and fraudulant, in many cases) degenerate state into which so much of academia has descended.

But then, I'm not surprised you can't tell the difference.

Moron.

L'affair Churchill is much more important than GANNONGATE. Gannon affected how many people on a daily basis? Maybe the half dozen or so on the planet who ever heard of Talon...

The Cur Chilling (to borrow a DeathLands term) in progress will ultimately liberate hundreds/thousands of his unwitting student victims.

Its a target rich environment though - lets just (figuratively, of course, I wouldn't want some moonbat to accuse me of soliciting murder) CHILL this one and move on to the next nest of stickies.

I agree. You get the sense from that video that Prof. Churchill's been under some stress lately. For the sake of the Ethnic Studies Department, I hope he takes it easy for a few days.

Drudge has a link to a Denver Post article saying that U of C is apparently flailing around trying to find a way to get rid of the guy without years of lawsuits.

My own take is to point the law authorities at his forged art sales, point the U of C folks at his bogus publications and false references and false Masters degree, and point the Feds at his "fomenting violent overthrow and terrorism" activities.

But I am indulging myself. :)

U of C's efforts - while not emotionally gratifying (this guy pisses me off) , will solve the problem more or less.

Am I the only one who finds it extremely frightening that an obviously unhinged mofo like this Hinchey guy can get elected to Congress?

Ward should sue you for punitive damages that your giving him.

What does that mean?

Posted by: rdbrewer on February 26, 2005 09:13 PM

It means I fell down the stairs and my shoes fell off and I feel very hurt about this.

Posted by: Saul Rosenberg on February 26, 2005 09:16 PM

All right then. I'll bring my shoes and my glasses.

Posted by: ace on February 26, 2005 09:17 PM

Hey, sizzle chest - you bring the shoes and the glasses. I'll bring my tools.

I worked on race cars for 18 years. I'm the best. I'll work circles around you ... AND I do bench work. I'm benchin' 350 ...

UC should fire the loser and fight back with everything they have when he sues them. Sometimes the the good guys win the lawsuit and then they should sue him back for costs as should anyone who bought one of his works of "Art."

Perhaps I'm being naive but, I think this could be one of those times where the planets are lined up correctly and there could be enough public outcry for positive change to happen. ...not only over Why Churchill got there in the first place, but over the the potential "legal terrorism" that has the University afraid to do the obvious right thing.

Do the Jerky Boyz also put everything in boldface?

FYI - Hinchey not only was ELECTED, he's been getting RE-ELECTED for quite a while. He was a rep at least as far back as 1995 when he made the news getting caught trying to smuggle a handgun onto an airliner at the D.C airport. Google "hinchey handgun airport" and you'll turn up some accounts of the incident. This guy is "all moonbat, all the time".

Posted by: TonyI on February 27, 2005 01:51 AM

As for CurChill - now that its been established that he's just a common whore, all that's left is to negotiate the price. :-|

Okay, I closed that dumb open bold tag.

Sorry. Everything looked fine on my own browser.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
