"Ward Churchill's Little Eichmanns"

Just what do we know about

Ward Churchill?

That radical agitator,

That Colorado college professor

Most famous for calling

Twin Tower 9/11 dead technocrats

Little Eichmanns.

 

Noteworthy is the fact that

The United States Supreme Court

Denied certiorari,

Passed on hearing his claim of

Unlawful discharge.

Unlawful discharge?

Sounds felonious and vile:

Like pus laced with *****

A criminal secretion, like mucus

Smuggled past Customs:

Vaginal contraband.

 

Sorry, Ward.

We just don’t give a ****

Your fake Indian pedigree,

Your bogus Vietnam fairytales,

Your phony combat record,

Your forward ops recon

Way out in ******* Cambodia,

Fall flat like Buffalo turds.

You’ve been slick, Ward.

Hired originally to fill

Some gratuitous affirmative action quota,

Denied tenure in two legitimate departments,

You create some ******** academic discipline

For campus freaks & geeks.

Self-appointed Department Chairman,

A fraudulent college professor from the start,

Once tenured, a courageous warrior for free speech.

Describing Native American history as genocide.

Summing up American history as Holocaust denial.

Professor Churchill was all of these things,

And less.

But using the Holocaust metaphor

To anchor one’s fakakta politics?

That was the proverbial last straw,

The camel buster, if you will.

Especially since most of the

Stockbrokers & market analysts

Crushed in the rubble were Jewish.

Hava Nagila, Babaloo!
