In light of Ward Churchill’s termination–albeit for academic dishonesty rather than just general vileness–here are some of his greatest gems:
If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I’d really be interested in hearing about it.
[The terrorists], at a minimum, have to blow up about 300,000 more buildings and kill something on the order of 7.5 million people [to break even].
[Islamic radicals] value life…far more highly than their U.S. counterparts.
[T]hose restored to control over their own destinies by the gallant sacrifices of the combat teams the WTC and Pentagon [might] eventually (re)admit Americans to the global circle of civilized societies.
When you push people around, some people push back. As they should. As they must. There is justice in such symmetry.
[W]e, like the “Good Germans” of the 1930s and ’40s, are complicit in its actions and have no legitimate basis for complaint when we suffer the consequences.
[T]he Trade Center [was] a “legitimate” target. Those who did not work for the CIA but were nonetheless killed in the attack amounted to no more than collateral damage.
