A picture is worth a thousand words. Nice.

I know you're trying to prove a point, Rusty, but this is in very bad taste, even for you.

Thanks, Russ. This could get you tenure at the University of Colorado, you know.

Agree with Laura. Churchill's bad enough without turning this into a goddam circus. I still can't look at that picture without shivering, much less laughing.

Let me see if I get it. Mike C, this is about irony, not humor. If you laugh at this, you ain't right.
Doctor, how'd I do?

Patrick gets the "A". The only thing worse than this photoshop is the traitorous asshat who actually wrote those words.
If I ever meet Ward Churchill.........
Allah, thanks man. The blogosphere needs you back!!!

Of course I understand it's irony! But, it smarts to look at it, nonetheless. Some of us lost people in that building...for all I know, I could've known one of those jumpers.
You can bring the point across without trying to bring home the message so blatantly is all I'm saying.

Sorry to offend your sensibilities Laura, but I think this is a case where our sensibilities OUGHT to be offended.
Churchill's words were not just hurful, they were traitorous.

Oh believe me, I know! The bastard should be drawn and quartered...no, wait, revoke his American citizenship and send his ass to Mosul or somewhere.

If it's meant to be non-humorous irony, I guess I slept through the class where that distinction was explained. But whatever... Churchill's the asshole here, not you, so I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh.

Spot on. I'm glad somebody put 2 + 2 together - Churchill is even more offensive when put in visual terms.

I have a # of relatives that are tenured full professors at some big name Us in the West but I am sure they would all agree this phoney gives all profs and teachers a very bad name. Of course none of these relatives let the people interviewing them know their pro-America feelings when they were interviewed; or they would not have been hired. Here in the West is is considered (and has been for 50 years) sophisticated and cosmopolitan to hate America and all it has stood for fo 230 years.

THIS IS SICKENING, RUSTY, IN POOR TASTE, AND SOMETHING YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE PUT UP ON YOUR SITE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT NONE OF THE SURVIVORS OR THEIR FAMILES EVER SEES THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE. MADE ME GAG.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BETTER SENSE THAN THIS.

Personally, I think just the picture without the speech bubbles would have been just as powerful a statement. Keeping the title, of course.
As to taste, the damage was done by Churchill and his ilk.

Ward Churchill deserves to have his teeth knocked down to his as**ole. Matter of fact, I wonder if those are real teeth or dentures. From what I have gathered on him and his ethnic studies he's been running his mouth in ways that would get average joe blacklisted for being a bigot.

What is sick is that the media here was able to get away with NOT showing this on the nightly news - EVER! They'll happily show us crying Iraqis from an allied bombing, but Americans dying at the hands of the Jihadists is too much for us to take. (stolen in paraphrased fashion from Bill Whittle, who's book is wonderful and spot-on.)

To quote my very first post I ever did
"If you think this is offensive, just wait until I get warmed up."

Cindy, I understand your rage, as I was upset too, but then again, on the other hand, just think if the hostages' families were to come on the net and see the beheading videos! I'll admit there was no ironic humor in those videos, whereas, Rusty's was blatantly so.
You know he's going to get his point across using shock value. Hey, Rust, we've already got Howard Stern for that shit!!

Ironically, this post is about as dumb as Churchill's comments. And it might actually be in worse taste. What this demonstrates is that the deaths of thousands on 9/11 has become nothing more to you than a cheap tool to make (poor) political points. This is right on par with the repeated links to beheading videos. And still not a word about the Lancet report. Nice humanity dude. Wake up.

Churchill is NOT an American indian, all of the Native American tribes have refused to claim the wannabe asshole! He's just another piece of self propelled garbage we refer to lovingly as "White Trash"!
Churchill is a Muckraker, much like Jesse Jackson and others who make a living hollering "Racism", and he'll always have the Berkleyites and assholes like that to feel sorry for him.
Fortunately though, even the MSM will soon tune him out, the State of Colorado will do away with his program at CU . . and he'll be just another dipshit preaching his sorry mantra on some street corner.
Calm down . . .
BUT, Rusty . . the 'Toon was a little bit of Bad Taste . . You've done better . .
