There is little, if any difference, between Bill O'Reilly (and almost all Fox News + conservative radio talk show hosts) and Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado professor. The two men are made for each other because they are mirror images of each others. O'Reilly is a right wing conservative blowhard. Churchill too is a wingnut conservative/communist blowhard. One is the mumps, the other the measles. And I don't like the mumps or the measles.
There is nothing liberal about Ward Churchill. There is nothing liberal about Bill O'Reilly. There is nothing progressive about Ward Churchill. There is nothing progressive about Bill O'Reilly. The views of Ward Churchill are so foreign to the views of Daily Kos or the Democratic Party. They'd be lucky to even get 2% of the vote in a Democratic primary.

Churchill is the jerk who compared the victims of 9/11 to perpetrators of the Holocaust. O'Reilly is the jerk who openly wished that Al Qaeda would kill several thousand residents in San Francisco. Churchill is the jerk who called the victims of 9/11 "Little Eichmanns." O'Reilly is the jerk who wants to throw tens of millions of liberals in jail and murder billions of people of other religious viewpoints. I see little to no difference between these two detestable men.
Word of Churchill's firing did not upset me in the least presuming the allegations of plagiarism are veracious. Even though Ward Churchill is Colorado's Bill O'Reilly, I do not think he should be fired for speech I find deplorable and I'm hoping that the allegations of plagiarism are legitimate and not some pretextual excuse for the university to rid itself of its Bill O'Reilly. The Colorado Board of Regent voted, 8-1, to rid itself of Churchill, basing its decision on the allegations of plagiarism and not Churchill's 9/11 comments. So hopefully this is the case.
So bye bye Ward O'Reilly (Or is that Bill Churchill?) You get no sympathy from me.
