It's always funny to me when people call Ward Churchill a "leftist" or a "marxist". What that tells me is that they have either 1)not read anything the man has actually written and are only parroting what they've heard from others, or 2) they have read some of his writings, but don't have very good reading comprehension and completely misunderstood what he was saying. Here's a news flash for the slow witted; some people do not fit into either category (left wing and right wing).
