Here is video of Ward “Little Eichmanns” Churchill’s speech on “Racism Against Native Americans” at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater, in which he defends the murderer Leonard Peltier: March 1, 2005 speech. (Hat tip: Adamski.)
The Wisconsin State Journal has a report on Churchill’s hate speech; note that he goes right to the edge of openly advocating violence. (Hat tip: Mark.)
To lessen hostility toward the United States around the globe, he said, every American needs to engage in “some direct confrontation with power,” and thus compel the government to follow appropriate international law “by whatever means ultimately are required to be effective.”
That didn’t go over so well. Neither did the several times he suggested that every American - including himself - was a murderer because the government has killed innocent people abroad with repressive military and economic policies.
When the response to such remarks was a tiny smattering of uncertain applause, if that, Churchill was quick to note it.
“Oh, I made ‘em nervous,” he said at one point.
