If you want proof that liberals hate America, just look at the babblilngs and American hating speak of Ward Churchill. Furthermore what is worse is the throngs of adoring fans that cheer his hatespeak.
A University of Colorado professor who ignited a firestorm by likening the World Trade Center victims to Nazis received a standing ovation Tuesday from a crowd of more than a thousand who packed a ballroom to hear him speak.University officials had announced plans to cancel the speech because of security concerns then backed off after Ward Churchill filed a lawsuit earlier Tuesday asking a judge to force the school to let him speak.
More than two dozen campus police officers inside the ballroom used handheld metal detectors to scan attendees for weapons. It was not immediately clear if police found any.
Outside the ballroom, about 250 people who were turned away, listened to Churchill's speech on speakers set up by university officials.
The crowd was loud and orderly as an Churchill, whose writings and speeches face a 30-day university review that could lead to his dismissal, spoke: "I do not work for the taxpayers of the state of Colorado. I do not work for (Gov.) Bill Owens. I work for you," he said to thunderous applause.
I defend his right to be an asshole. I don't necessarily think he should be fired. Part of free speech is defending any kind of speech, including hatespeak.
The more he speaks like this, the more reasonable thinking people will see how looney the left is.
