This was pseudo-American Indian Ward Churchill's statement after he was forced to resign the chairmanship of Colorado University's Ethnic Studies program.

Sadly, Churchill will also be deprived of the $3,500 speaking fee he negotiated with Hamilton College in upstate New York after they cancelled his engagement. That's unfortunate. He would have had a chance to hear the polite applause of some nice New Yorkers as he told them directly to their faces how they, too, deserved to die at the hands of homicidal terrorists.
