Well, at least I know where to find these guys....from Chicago Indymedia.
The Activist Student Union (ASU) of DePaul University is calling for all people concerned with defending Ward Churchill's views and with defending academic freedom, to rally at DePaul.
Churchill was invited by DePaul's Cultural Center and the ASU to speak because of his political views and his history of standing up and fighting for human rights and dignity.
Were it not for right-wing attacks that have included threatening letters to the staff at the Cultural Center and a letter from the Governor of Colorado urging DePaul to cancel this event, this speaking engagement would be open to all.
We must take a stand against those who wish to silence progressive voices, and fight so that Churchill's message is heard.
Where: At the corner of Belden and Kenmore. From the Fullerton el- one block south and one block west. This is outside the Student Center where Churchill will speak.
Email: asu_depaul@yahoo.com
My note: Here is that letter from Colorado Governor Bill Owens.

*****Ward Churchill to Speak at DePaul University******
Attention all Little Eichmanns! I am working on getting in to an event where Ward Churchill is speaking. I called Deborah Rowe about this...told her about the fact that the USA Bashing Professor is going to be a speaker at DePaul on October 20th. Called the media relations office...they seem quite nervous that the media is calling them about this! Anyway, Deborah is helping me try to get credentials and make sure you tune in on Monday for the details! Have a good weekend. See you then! Tune in...9am sharp!

Two new blogs, both anti-Ward Churchill, added to blogroll
Here they are: The Mental Ward (Churchill) and Freedom Folks.
Both are out to scalp DePaul University. From DePaul's perspective, these new blogs must seem to be like attacking Indians in a John Ford film--they just keep popping out of nowhere.
Visit both.

John J. Miller on that Rhode Island RINO Lincoln Chafee
Lincoln Chafee for good reason is generally referred to as a RINO, a Republican in Name Only. The Rhode Island Senator has flirted with bolting to the Democrats and seems to oppose President Bush more than he supports him.
John J. Miller, who in the latest print edition of the National Review wrote so eloquently about the Thomas Klocek/DePaul case, analyzes in NRO the 2006 primary race in the Ocean State been Chafee and his more conservative challenger Steve Laffey, the mayor of the small city of Cranston.
Hat tip to Pat Curley of Brainster, who adds his own analysis.

Ward Churchill: Bomb making instructor
Following up an a post from late last week involving Ward Churchill's probable Weather Underground terror ties, I found this nugget in a February Rocky Mountain News article:
Wednesday, AK Press had nine books and four CDs in stock by Churchill, who claims authorship of 24 books. The professor has a long history of controversial remarks, including telling a local newspaper in 1987 that he taught the Weather Underground how to make bombs, the Daily Camera said earlier this month.
And to think, despite his past, Ward Churchill was granted tenure by the University of Colorado.
Or maybe he received tenure because of this past.

New trial denied for the East St. Louis $10 per-vote Democrats
Thanks Cal Skinner!
Free registration to the Kansas City Star may be required. This is the latest news on this vastly underreported story.
A federal judge has upheld guilty verdicts for the former chairman of the East St. Louis Democratic Central Committee and four others convicted of a vote-buying scheme.
U.S. District Judge G. Patrick Murphy on Monday denied motions for acquittals and new trials for former party head Charles Powell Jr.; precinct committee members Jesse Lewis, Sheila Thomas and Kelvin Ellis; and City Hall worker Yvette Johnson. All were convicted June 29.
Their attorneys had argued that statements made by two prosecution witnesses were either perjured or so critically defective that they deserved to be stricken.
During the trial, prosecutors relied on secretly recorded audiotapes in which they said those accused could be heard talking about paying $5 per vote in the Nov. 2 election.
Shrewd and admirable negotiating skills by the East St. Louis Democrats brought the price per vote up to $10.
Somehow, Karl Rove will be blamed for this, I'm sure.

PETA paying protestors to picket Ringling Brothers
I can assure you none of the protestors at the upcoming anti-Ward Churchill demonstration (see below) will be paid to picket the F-Troop Indian's speaking engagement.
PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, must be getting desperate, they're offering to pay people $10 in Amazon gift certificates to protest the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus when it comes to the Chicago suburb of Rosemont next month.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Animal rights activists are offering 10 bucks per person to protest the opening of the Ringling Bros. circus in Rosemont -- an offer the circus says shows the movement is desperate and ineffectual.
"Feeling a little low on cash? PETA's here to help!" Stephanie Wood, activist liaison for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, writes in an e-mail.
The payment comes in $10 gift certificates to Amazon.com. The organization is offering the cards to the first hundred people who help protest at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont on Nov. 2.
PETA has been busy in the Chicago area. Chicago Alderman Mary Ann Smith, is sponsoring an ordinance that will effectively ban elephants within Chicago's city limits. PETA has endorsed Smith's proposed legislation.

Coming to DePaul University Thursday: An anti-Ward Churchill protest
As regular visitors to Marathon Pundit know, Ward Churchill will be speaking at DePaul on Thursday, October 20. I will be there with my camera, taking pictures similar to this one.
That picture comes from a March anti-Ward protest in Whitewater, WI.

Work of an unhappy Chicago Cubs fan?
I took this picture this afternoon inside the Jewel/Osco supermarket on Golf Road in Niles, just north of Chicago. Lots of Cub fans in that area. Cantaloupes are cheap in Niles, at least.
Anyway, it's Sox, plural AND singular.
The "GoGo" is okay, as it's an homage to the 1959 AL Champion "Go-Go" White Sox.
