Ward Churchill Defends Himself: In an interview published by Counterpunch, a leftwing website, Ward Churchill defends his record, denies he was a plagiarist, and claims that the liberal-left collaborated with right-wingers like O'Reilly to try to destroy him. He says that Michael Bellesiles was "destroyed on the basis of what amount at most to trivial mistakes."
Apparently everybody is out to get Churchill. Plus, he chooses a horrible analogy. Michael Bellesiles was caught plagiarizing in Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, a book that began as an article in the Journal of American History and won the "Best Article of the Year" by the Organization of American Historians. He was even awarded the Bancroft Prize in 2001, the most prestigious prize you can get for American history literature. Yet, after the scandal broke out, he was forced to resign from Emory University and his awards were revoked.
Michelle Malkin was mentioned by Churchill in the interview, and she speaks out about it.
And why isn't the SD MSM covering Ward Churchill, given his connection to South Dakota?
