More Ward Churchill Artwork discovered

| No Comments
EtherPundit at Ether House has discovered some heretofore unknown works of art by Famous American Indian Ward Churchill:
Regular readers may be surprised, but I think it's time some of us on the right stepped up to defend Ward Churchill. I can't applaud his defense of terrorists and their right � indeed, obligation � to murder "little Eichmanns" (defined as: everyone who died on Sept. 11). I can't condone his instructing his audiences on the most effective ways to carry out terrorism. And, of course, I can't stifle a laugh when I see photos of him in his office, Capitalism Condemnation Central, unironically surrounded by a shiny new iMac and assorted technological trappings. But let's give credit where credit is due, shall we? Ward Churchill turns out to be a truly important visual artist, with a lot to say about the plight of Native Americans. Michelle Malkin, Myopic Zeal, Brainster, Ace, Say Anything, Speed of Thought, Protein Wisdom, and Confederate Yankee have all had their snarky say about this alleged plagiarism.
EtherPundit goes on to establish that yes, there are similarities between Churchill's "Winter Attack" and Thomas E. Mails "The Mystic Warriors of the Plains" but Churchill did not copy the work. EtherPundit then goes on to cite some other examples of Churchill's oeuvre and offers these words:
Churchill is no plagiarist! Perhaps coincidentally, the pieces above looked similar. But when you look at the works I'm showing, these EtherHouse exclusives, you'll realize that his vision is wholly original. I defy you to show me any "source" that can remotely claim to have inspired these pieces. You've never seen anything like them, I guarantee! Now forget politics for a moment, and feel yourself transported to the Great Plains, to a time before the European brought pestilence, theft, and "ethnic cleansing" to the land. Open your mind to Churchill's sensitive explorations of Native American couture. Let the raw emotion of these blazingly original, inventive images affect you.
Here are two samples of the artwork:
