Cold War and Long Sunset (Winston Churchill and the Great Republic, Library of Congress) Churchill favored the new organization, which he said indicated "a very considerable advance in opinion as far as the United States are concerned." This Soviet poster shows stalwart marchers for peace--"Against those who would ignite a new war"--as an alarmed Churchill and moneybag-clutching Uncle Sam look on. Churchill's visit was seen by one cartoonist as merely one of a host of different problems facing Harry Truman, including economic troubles, difficulties within NATO, the dangers of the atomic age, the perennial entanglements in the Middle East, and racial integration in the United States. Churchill referred to the proposed multilateral force of the European Defense Community as a "sludgy amalgam," which he thought would be less effective than a coalition of national armies. www.loc.gov /exhibits/churchill/wc-coldwar.html   (2332 words)

Hamilton College - Ward Churchill - Comments Churchill is truly sick in his mind to justify such actions in New York. Churchill's speech (assuming Churchill is not cancelled) you will noticeably feel the pain of my withdrawal of all future financial contributions to your fine school from my organization and myself. Churchill regarding the deaths of the victims of terrorism on 9/11 are appalling to say the least. www.hamilton.edu /news/wardchurchill/comments.html?startrow=161   (3572 words)

The Fuss About Ward Churchill - History Until late January 2005, Ward Churchill was a relatively unknown professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. After Churchill was invited to participate in a panel discussion at Hamilton College, his essay “Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens” came to light. Churchill’s essay, “Some People Push Back” is a problem for two reasons: his slanting of history and his flippant style. www.bellaonline.com /articles/art19096.asp   (852 words)

Jobs, News and Views for All of Higher Education - Inside Higher Ed :: Showdown in Colorado   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Churchill’s essay called those who died at the World Trade Center on 9/11 “little Eichmanns.” He wrote the essay shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks, but it received little notice until this month, when it was circulated at Hamilton College, where Churchill had been invited to give a talk today. Churchill has many fans in the field, but some are skeptical of him as a scholar. Churchill has at least one scheduled appearance coming up: He will be talking about “Racism Against the American Indian” on March 1 at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater. www.insidehighered.com /news/2005/02/03/churchill   (1053 words)

Ward Churchill and Academic Freedom Churchill is author of Agents of Repression: The FBI’s Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement, and A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas: 1492 to Present – among many other works important for those who oppose racism. In his nationally televised attack on Churchill, Bill O’Reilly of Fox News declared, "We’re a tolerant society here, but some things cannot be tolerated." O’Reilly, two Republican governors, and the Colorado Assembly are trying to have Churchill fired from the UC faculty. The media-driven frenzy to purge Churchill possesses all the hallmarks of a new McCarthyism, and represents a dangerous trend of intellectual intolerance across the nation and in the academy. academic.udayton.edu /race/miscell/WardChurchill.htm   (1038 words)

9-11 Outrage: Hamilton College, Ward Churchill, and Jerry Springer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Representatives of Hamilton College have argued that the College should proceed to afford Churchill a platform for his view because the College believes in "free speech." However, this argument is a canard. I think Vige meant that the college didn't mean to bring a speaker that would upset so many people, but since he has been invited it would set a precedent of the college backing down to outraged people who don't know how to have a respectful academic discussion concerning issues they don't agree with. On behalf of the entire college, I urge you to recognize that this is an institution of higher learning, and that the school is growing in strength rather than declining. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1331591/posts   (3069 words)

Ward Churchill and your wallet - Christian Business Churchill was scheduled to make a presentation at Hamilton College on Thursday, February 3rd.  It is an upstate college in New York (near Syracuse).  Even that is not a good enough excuse for inviting someone to speak to college students using comments designed to incite — or, hurt -- people.                     As an American citizen, Ward Churchill has the right to free speech.  It is equally true that Ward Churchill, private citizen, was not invited to Hamilton College.  Ward Churchill, Chair of the Department of Ethnic Sciences at the University of Colorado, was invited to speak. When a CU professor is invited to speak at another college or university, he is speaking as a professor representing our state university, not as a private citizen.  Thus, what he says reflects on the university and the people of the State of Colorado. www.businessreform.com /article.php?articleID=10983   (951 words)

Cashing in on Churchill. Now, with the latest row over the Churchill papers, we can all see the the lengths to which the Churchill family has gone to ensure that only Churchill family approved versions should be produced. It is, to be frank, pretty wimpish of Hardwick of not to have gone to Churchill College herself, where the keeper of the archives, Piers Brendon, would, in his usual courteous and helpful way, have informed her of her rights; historians have to be made of sterner stuff. She revealed her mother's infatuation with the dashing young Terence Philip in the 1930s, and the picture which she painted of the Churchill marriage was far from being one of Darby and Joan waiting for the Dunmow Flitch. www.churchill-society-london.org.uk /Charmley.html   (2843 words)

Master appointed to Churchill College   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Churchill College was founded in 1960 as the national and Commonwealth memorial to Sir Winston Spencer Churchill (1874-1965). According to Churchill's vision, the College was created with a bias towards science, and the College admits a higher proportion of scientists and technologists than most other colleges, but the arts subjects also flourish. He or she has an important role in the life and progress of the College, and of all its members. www.admin.cam.ac.uk /news/dp/2005080202   (268 words)

Hamilton College's Other Leftist Problem What is less well known is that the professor who sponsored Ward Churchill's talk has a long history of radicalizing her college, shares ideological and family ties to domestic terrorists -- and is still being well-compensated for her efforts to spread anti-American hatred among that college's student body. Churchill has made clear that he believes in no halfway measures: he wants the United States wiped off the face of the earth. Churchill has not shrunk from violence himself, having participated in an attack that left a one Carol Standing Elk with a broken wrist, spitting on the elderly Indian woman. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/Printable.asp?ID=16883   (1619 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: Churchill Affair: A Matter of Hypocrisy by Candace de Russy Churchill, as widely reported, compared the World Trade Center victims on 9/11 to Nazis and praised their murderers as "gallant combat teams." In the ensuing national uproar, Hamilton College in New York, which had invited Churchill to speak, decided to cancel the event, stating it had received threats of violence against Churchill and college officers. Thus one of the more sobering lessons of the Churchill disgrace: colleges and universities, whose special mission it is to foster unfettered intellectual expression and exchange, loudly profess the First Amendment but do not in fact truly protect it. As Lipscomb also observes, college administrators until recently excused the campus thought police by referring to conditions laid down by the Office of Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16958   (552 words)
