Can you quote any of his irrational statements?

The comment that the "technocrats" at the WTC on 9/11 were the equivalent
to
"little Eichmans" seems a little irrational. I live in Boulder, the
epicenter of the Churchill controversy. It's been very interesting reading
the papers here. Regardless of his positions, which, as you stated are
inflammatory and clearly designed to spark debate, the frightening result
is
that the University, at the governor's request, is reviewing his tenure
status.

I thought the idea of a university was to spark debate and discussion in
the
spirit of academic freedom and the ultimate extension of the first
amendment.

No more so than yelling "Fire" in a crded theatre.

I find it humorous that Owens, the Republican governor, who
theoretically supports a conservative interpretation of the constitution,
is
calling for the resignation and/or termination of a tenured professor
because he exercised those rights.

His right to free speech does not include the soapbox to speak from.
