Ward Churchill Mocks 9/11 Victims -- Again

Found by way of Michelle Malkin, and still more at Pirate Ballerina.

PR Web article, couldn't find a byline.

(PRWEB) July 14, 2006 -- On the July 4th weekend at Baltimore's Mid-Atlantic Radical Book Fair, University of Colorado-Boulder's Professor of Ethnic Studies, Ward Churchill, spoke to a semi-filled theater of left-wing activists from around the country. Walking Eagle Productions, a documentary film company focusing on free speech, academic freedom, and American Indian issues, filmed the speech in its entirety. It was Churchill's first public speech given just several days after CU's Interim Chancellor, Phil DiStefano, announced plans to fire Ward Churchill based on multiple grounds of serious research misconduct (as reported on CU's own Web site). Churchill's speech for the event was thus titled, "Rules for Thee, but Not for Me: The Politics of 'Academic Misconduct' in a Time of Intellectual Repression."

....

After some polite applause and soft laughter, Churchill blurted out a joke regarding what he perceived as the hilarity over how passengers on the 9/11 flights were "easily" hijacked by terrorists and flown into the World Trade Center.

"You do remember, the incident which the terrorists overpowered the stewardess on the aircraft and tweezed her eyebrows with his tweezers, until she screamingly submitted to fly the plane into a building remember that one?" Joked Churchill. "Tweezers... tweezed into submission."

[Emphasis mine.]

Hilarity. Yeah, that would be my characterization.

Do you have to be a barking moonbat lunatic to be a college professor? Is Glenn Reynolds one of a remarkably few exceptions?
