Before Ward Churchill came to Berkeley for the Academic Freedom Forum hosted by the UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies Department, he appeared at the Anarchist Book Fair in San Francisco on March 26, 2005. As usual, he always had much to say about America and its citizens.

1. Ward Churchill Quote #1: “Americans are Nazis”. (Video)

“And I’ve got an answer for you and that answer is Eichmann! Eichmann! That is the mentality of Eichmann. Big Eichmann and little Eichmann. The good Germans that made that process possible are synonymous with the good Americans who voted for George Bush or thought that John Kerry was an alternative. [Audience applause.] And that explains the blind eye turned to a half-million Iraqi children. That’s an entire coming generation because for every dead there’s three more who are never gonna grow up other than in a twisted and physically deformed manner as a result of what’s been done to them in order to impose the United States’ will, and that’s genocide. When you talk about it being imposed on a country of barely 20 million people, a half-million children is the future. The future was denied in the interest of American domination of the rest of the planet in order to support a material way of life and a mentality which is absolutely on its face indefensible to anyone with a scintilla of moral integrity. ”

As Ward Churchill put it, 98.9% of Americans who voted in the last election were Nazis. If the anti-Bush voters who had voted for John Kerry thought they were safe from Ward Churchill, it’s about high time they think twice. Judging from this canard, Ward Churchill has shown his true colors: an anti-American academic that has little patience for this country and its citizens, and whose hatred for this county has no known bounds.

2. Ward Churchill Quote #2: You are all accomplices. (Audio only)

“I took this from Hannah Arendt, who was a noted scholar of the experience of the Holocaust, and who asked for the assignment, as a journalist, to go from New York to Tel Aviv to witness the trial. She wanted to confront the real Eichmann. In her mind he epitomized the evil to her, expected to confront a monstrosity, and what she found instead was a mouse. An absolutely nondescript little everyman. And the true magnitude of the horror began to penetrate. And what it was that penetrated was not the malevolence of Eichmann as the Nazi, as the overseer of the Holocaust, but his absolute banality, his everyman dimension. Not that he was a Nazi, but that in his everyman capacity he obviously and clearly signaled the fact that everyone bound up in mass status society was potentially him. Him. His very absence of unique and monstrous characteristics was that which was most horrifying about him. Going with the program renders you Eichmann. Going with the program voids your humanity. Going with the program makes you not just complicit but a participant in the process of genocide.”

According to Ward Churchill, we are all accomplices, willing Eichmanns who do The Leader’s bidding. And yet he is still claims that he is not anti-American. But once you call him that, he might start crying to our Ethnic Studies Department, so they could host another Ward Churchill Love Fest and save his ass from the anyone who even criticizes him.
