Churchill Meets Coulter

Okay, we'll try this again....

I think that Churchill in his defense of his "Chickens" is based on that the American press took the article in question out of his book and completely blew it out of proportion and context. However, I must say that as a man of academia, he should know and expect his work to be cruitinized in the media by people who are looking for just that... a story. I do not doubt that the "Chickens" came across the desk of a major news media mogul and they said, "run with this, it looks like it would increase ratings."

I do not doubt that Mr. Churchill has issues with the government of the United States... come to think of it, I don't know very many people who absolutely love our government and worship Bush Jr. However, I think that Churchill in previous "statements" against the government in the dealings with Native Americans might have set him up for some of this speculation.

I do not think Churchill should be fired for speaking his mind. I think that he has the right to say how he feels, and someone must agree with him because he did get this book published and it is selling tons of copies. I also do not like the way that Ward Churchill is being portrayed by the news media. I saw a headline on Fox News today that called him a traitor and violator of the truth... ouch, that's kinda harsh cosidering the media took his work out of context.

Lastly, I will close with a link to Conservative Ann Coulter's website. She recently made some comments on the whole Churchill situation that were very interesting, and I encourage you to read them. The article can be found at: http://www.anncoulter.com/
