WARD CHURCHILL

You have to feel sorry for the guy. He thought he was a noted scholar, he thought he had a line on Native American history, he thought he was part Indian himself. He has found out that all of that was wrong. He even lost his ancestors.

But really: If he had come out and admitted that he really made up stories and did what he could to show the bad side, stole and plagiarized apparently most of what he did, there might have been a way to save him. The ultra liberal would-be intellectuals that still support him say that they never would have found his problems if they had not investigated his stupid 911 statement. True. Does that mean he should be able to plagiarize so long as no one notices? He was never dissed for that statement. He was dissed for being a cheat and a thief.
