The Ward Churchill Kerfuffle

University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill has been getting beat up and down throughout the blogosphere, with good reason mind you. This guy is not just an idiot, he pushes for violence:

As Ward Churchill receives near-universal rebuke for praising Al Qaeda's choice of tactics, he appears to be endorsing a similar escalation among animal-rights radicals. Which would put him right in line with long-time spokes-doctor for the PETA-affiliated Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Jerry Vlasak, who in 2003 endorsed the murder of medical researchers whose work requires lab animals.
Regardless, the mass media should recognize that Ward Churchill thinks his estimation of World Trade Center victims as "little Eichmanns" should logically extend to meat producers, scientists, and other institutional targets of animal-rights lunatics. And there are other terrorist-sympathizing professors lined up behind him, just waiting to be publicly acknowledged.
Dr. Best, for instance. He and Jerry Vlasak recently announced their collaboration as "press officers" for the ALF -- odd duty for a college professor, but understandable given his philosophical leanings. There's been no word yet on whether Ward Churchill, likely to soon be stripped of his tenured job, will join Best.
