Hey, TIM.

 EC>> Hey, TIM.

 TR>> So far, the only thing I can gather of this `story' is, this
 TR>> individual asked a question that the other reporters in the press room
 TR>> considered `too soft', and in retribution a bunch of reporters dug
 TR>> into this guy's credentials and are accusing him of everything thats
 TR>> happened of an evil nature since the Renaissance.

 EC>> As if before this guy all reporters were completely objective and only
 EC>> asked pertinent questions - never for show. <g>

 TR> The liberal-biased media are good and pissed about Dan Rather-gate, and
 TR> are going all out to find something, anything, that will make up for
 TR> it.

 TR> But after trumpheting their triumph over some guy who asked `too soft'
 TR> a question, one wonders where their `investigative' powers are with
 TR> `this' little tidbit:

 TR> The sad saga of Left-frothing University of Colorado Ethnic Studies
 TR> Professor Ward Churchill reached a new low this week, as an examination
 TR> of his past writings revealed this among its incendiary tidbits:
 TR> "One of the things I've suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s
 TR> are necessary." Earlier revelations of Churchill's admiration for the
 TR> 9/11 Jihadi attacks suggested that the victims, going about their work,
 TR> were akin to Nazis -- and deserved to be targeted.

Ain't he a lovely!

 TR> This week, Churchill almost suffered the (deserved) indignity of having
 TR> a speech at his home campus cancelled. Too bad the fulminating address
 TR> came off without a hitch. For his part, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens is
 TR> exploring the possibility of terminating Churchill's employment. The
 TR> nutty professor declaimed, "I'm not backing off an inch. I owe no
 TR> one an apology. ... I do not work for the taxpayers of the state of
 TR> Colorado. I do not work for Bill Owens. I work for you. ... The Board
 TR> of Regents should do its job, and let me do mine." Fine. Let
 TR> Churchill's university salary be rescinded -- as it does come from
 TR> taxpayer dollars -- and let him be paid instead by those students who
 TR> genuinely wish to hear him sling his rubbish.

Whoever he works for should be ashamed.

 TR> If you look at this Churchill person closely, you see that he is a liar
 TR> and a fraud, who's `teaching' credentials and credibility, are about on
 TR> a par with a well-known resident of Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Degrees are often a testament to persistance and willingness to play their 
game.  Some who have degrees are good, but some are idiots.  I've been 
around them all my adult life.

 TR> Yet, where's the outrage from the press? They can get obsessive about a
 TR> guy who asks the president `too soft' a question, but a liar and fraud
 TR> teaching in a major university gets a pass? Gee, no bias there.

It is clear which one gets under their skin more.
