Ward Churchill's Dubious "Scholarship"

AoSHQ contributor Dianna has penned an essay about Churchill's dishonest studies in non-history over at PirateBallerina. I'm particularly happy to hear he's a serial plagiarist:

.... LaVelle demonstrates for the reader the number of scholars whose work is distorted in Churchill’s work – Patricia Nelson Limerick, Russell Thornton, Janet A. McDonnell and George M. Frederickson, to name only a few – and lays out for side by side comparison a passage written by Churchill and one by Rebecca L. Robbins..... This is clear evidence of plagiarism, particularly since the passage in Churchill is not in quotes, and there is, furthermore, no citation of Robbins.

Go get 'im, Dianna!

Top Ten Quotations from Ward Churchill's "Original Writings"

10. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots." -- Ward Churchill p. 13 of From a Native Son

9. "Are we not men? We are Devo." -- Ward Churchill, p. 44 of Since Predator Came

8. "" It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose!" -- Ward Churchill, p. 31, Indians Are Us?

7. "That bitch set me up!" -- Ward Churchill, footnote 23 of Sketches of My Plainsmen Ancestors

6. "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for these meddling kids." -- Ward Churchill, citing Columbus' "secret diary," p. 122, Deconstructing the Columbus Myth

5. "And then we're going to Idaho! And then we're going to Wisconsin! And then we're going to Washington! Yeeeaaaaaiiiigghhh! -- Ward Churchill, p. 44, Struggle for the Land

4. "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy it hurts..." -- Ward Churchill, p. 94, The Arapahoe and Chocktaw Tribes: A Comparative Ethnography

3. "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, and I'm wanted (want-ed...!) dead or alive..." -- Ward Churchill, p. 88, The European Exterminators

2. "Jules, y'know, honey... this isn't real. You know what it is? It's St. Elmo's Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them... there was no fire. There wasn't even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you're making up all of this. We're all going through this. It's our time at the edge." -- Ward Churchill, p. 72 of A Little Matter of Genocide

...and the Number One Quotation From Ward Chuchill's "Original Writings"...

1. "And when I move, I slice like a fuckin' hammer. That's just. The Fuckin'. Way. It is." -- Ward Churchill, introduction to Noam Chomsky's Corporate Media Deceptions: Don't Make a Fuckin' Maniac Out of Me

ACE - I just sent Ward Churchill as Scholar to each member of the Board of Regents of the Univ of Colorado, who are presently consdering firing him. This might be the last straw!

Let's all send them our views and help them make up their minds!

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 1, 2005 09:40 AM

ACE - Thanks so much for this great article! It reveals just what a low-down scumbag this guy really is. It seems like there are ample reasons to fire him, but this just may be the tipping point.

Apparently, Brave Running B*llsh*t wouldn't know an academic study or real research if it hit him in the head like a tomahawk from one of his "peaceful" brother native americans. Obviously, he didn't learn it from any academic classes he may or may not have taken as a "student".

With his lack of intellectual insight, I wonder how he ever got through his first year of school.

Oh, yeah. He didn't. He just says he did. Maybe.

Posted by: Carlos on March 1, 2005 12:15 PM

I like Ward the Beaver's use of "I will fight no more forever," since it is appropriate to have WC the fake Indian plagiarizing a real Indian (Chief Joseph)--he has plagiarized real Indian scholars and been caught doing it. But it might be funny to have him plagiarize the already fraudulent a d widely disseminated Chief Seattle speech that laments the loss of the buffalo (when the Seattle tribe subsisted on salmon) since WC is both a fraud and a plagiarist.

Posted by: gail on March 1, 2005 12:29 PM

"for we do not understand when the buffalo are slaughtered, the wild horses tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires. Where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the Eagle? Gone. The end of living and the beginning of survival. " Chief Seattle (not)

Posted by: gail on March 1, 2005 12:35 PM

gail,

I must remind you of what I wrote in "Sole on Ice: Preserving Your Catch When the Freezer Breaks"

We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old.

By the way, have you heard of the great new free spyware detector?

Even his picture is plagiarism. He is copying the radicals of the 60's. And his essay on Chickens Coming Home to Roost is a copy of the famous statements of Malcolm X about the Kennedy asassination. In his pik posing with the AK-47 he's holding it wrong (it could drop backwards out of his hand and spray him) and his beret and camo jacket look brand new, like he just bought them to pose for this picture. What a Fraud!

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 1, 2005 04:42 PM

He not only apparently plagarizes the written word, but now his "original" art is found to be copied from other artists. Or should I say from real artists.

Posted by: rabidfox on March 1, 2005 11:32 PM

Well, it does seem like the, "Chickens are coming home to roost" for Prof. Churchill, although in the world of academia these days anything can happen. But his transparent scholarship, character defects, and "sins" of the past seem to have caught everyone's attention. Churchill is one disturbed individual. I haven't read a similar "stream of consciousness" writing since T. McVey.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
