This is pretty hilarious to me, I have no problem jumping into the fray on Yeagley’s behalf; as some people know, I have no problem voicing my opinion or countering stupidity, and it would seem that the Churchill crowd isn’t short on THAT!

Churchill not only claimed that he was indian, when the only indian in his background is a STEPMOTHER, he also claimed he had combat experience in the military, which was also proven false.

So here comes Bald Beagle, attacking Yeagley.

Yeagley is not Indian either, and he does not even measure up to Churchill intellectually. So I think he could not get Churchill’s job, even if he were an Indian for real. The only places you can find his claims of being Comanche are on his own sites using his own references. Isn’t it interesting that no other Comanches claim him, considering that in order to be enrolled one must be recognized by the Comanche community? Very strange. He’s a phony Indian.

And you’re an anonymous stalker, Baldy! And you’re probably not indian either, considering Churchill’s background. What does Yeagley’s intellectual accumen have to do with his being indian or not? Are you a racist that would claim that indians don’t have the capacity to accomplish what Yeagley has done? Or have you not read his significant resume? I doubt that Churchill has 1/2 the accomplishments that Yeagley has.

In addition, I think it’s laughable that you would expect that Yeagley be ‘claimed’ by the comanche nation. Is he a piece of property?

In fact, Jacob Laskin wrote about his ever changing positions and lies on issues like his supposed military career in addition to his other ridiculous claims at Frontpage Magazine in 2005. Contrast this resume with Yeagley’s:

Besides furnishing convenient cover for his attacks on the United States, Churchill’s counterfeit ancestry has served him well in his academic career. Examined closely, Churchill’s academic credentials do not recommend him as an authority on Native American history: Not a Phd., Churchill has a BA and MA in Communications from Sangamon State, an “experimental” school for student radicals that has since become the University of Illinois-Springfield. These conspicuous lacunas in his curriculum vitae have been overlooked by the University of Colorado, of whose faculty Churchill has called himself a member since 1981. Besides being a tenured professor in the field of American Indian studies at CU, a position for which he has no evident qualifications, Churchill has, until the recent controversy, served as the head of the university’s Department of Ethnic Studies, a position that came with a $115,000 annual salary.

Compare that with Yeagley’s:

[Dr. Yeagley] holds a Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin Conservatory of Music; a Master of Divinity from Yale University; a Master of Arts from Emory University; an Artist Diploma from Hartt School of Music; and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Arizona. He was a special student (doctoral level) at Harvard, in American Studies.

When comparing the two, you just have to bust out laughing! In addition to Churchill’s short stint as an artist who plagiarized other indians’ work, you don’t have to wonder the mentality, level of intelligence or truthfullness of his followers and supporters.

Check out these two pieces of art.

Second image is a bona fide “Ward Churchill”.

When I was frequenting shows with Nick Cywink, he talked about indian wannabes. Nick is Ojibway from Whitefish Falls, Ontario, Canada. There was one guy who used to come around and talk about his native heritage. But it Turned out the guy was a total fake and they called him “the coyote”. Looks to me like Ward Churchill is another “coyote”.

And there’s more over at Michelle Malkin’s place.

Worldnetdaily has a story here:

“It is an original art work by me, after Thomas Mails,” Churchill said. “The fact that the purchaser was ignorant of the reality of what was perfectly publicly stated at the time the edition was printed is not my responsibility.”

However, no credit was given to Mails on the artwork, and Churchill refused to provide documentation to back his claims.

Intellectual property attorney Jim Hubbell told the Denver station such documentation, if it exists, still would not protect Churchill from copyright infringement unless he had consent from Mails.

The son of the late Thomas Mails told KCNC the family retains the copyright.

“My father invested a great deal of himself in his work, and from that he developed a great fierceness in defending his work,” Ryan Mails said. “I cannot imagine he would ever grant permission to anyone to copy one of his pieces.”

The Worldnet Daily article pointed out he was ‘under investigation’.

Churchill resigned his position as head of the Colorado University ethnic studies program but kept his $96,000 per year teaching post. He steadfastly has refused to apologize for his comments.

He’s also come under fire for claiming an American Indian heritage, training terrorists, and meeting with Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi in the 1980s when the U.S. had banned travel there.

In addition, he’s accused of writing essays with passages “almost identical” to those of other authors.

The University of Colorado Regents is probing whether Churchill has violated tenure and expects to announce a decision in March.

The result of all of this was he was canned by CU.

Ann Coulter wrote of him:

In light of the fact that Churchill’s entire persona, political activism, curriculum vitae, writings and university positions are based on his claim that he’s an Indian, it’s rather churlish of him to complain when people ask if he really is one. But whenever he is questioned about his heritage, Churchill rails that inquiries into his ancestry are “absolutely indefensible.”

Churchill has gone from claiming he is one-eighth Indian “on a good day” to claiming he is “three-sixteenths Cherokee,” to claiming he is one-sixty-fourth Cherokee through a Revolutionary War era ancestor named Joshua Tyner. (At least he’s not posing as a phony Indian math professor.) A recent investigation by The Denver Post revealed that Tyner’s father was indeed married to a Cherokee. But that was only after Joshua’s mother–and Churchill’s relative–was scalped by Indians.

By now, all that’s left of Churchill’s claim to Indian ancestry is his assertion: “It is just something that was common knowledge in my family.” (That, and his souvenir foam-rubber “tomahawk” he bought at Turner Field in Atlanta.)

But let’s get back to Yeagley’s laundry list of accomplishments and contrast and compare resumes, shall we?

Yeagley is a classically trained pianist, composer, and lyricist. He has created a new system of harmonic organization, and presented it in a formal lecture in Israel, 1998. There his duet for oboe and bassoon, exemplifying the new tonality, was premiered. Yeagley has written a grand opera based on the story of Jack Eisner, a Holocaust survivor. He has written for solo guitar, Indian flute, chamber groups, voice, and orchestra.

Does Churchill play any musical instruments? He may have travelled the world calling the victims of 9/11 ‘Little Eichmann’s’ but that hardly qualifies him as a greater intellectual than Yeagley. Puhleez. Just because you’re a leftist means that you’re automatically superior to everyone else? That is a joke, although that’s what we get from people who can only parrot simple ’slogans’.

Dr. Yeagley has studied religion, literature, and history. He has written many scholarly research papers, book-length manuscripts, and also epic poetry and fiction. He has written works on Christology, biblical studies, literary criticism (specializing in Poe and Hawthorne), and musicology.

I suppose what is obejctionable here is that he’s a religious man and believes in God? And that makes him ignorant? Because you have to be a Christian hating bigot to fit into the leftist cocktail circuit these days. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with being “indian”.

Yeagley has a special interest in Persian culture. He wrote the only epic poetry in English in the 20th century. Jahan-dideh (1984) is a collection of seven epics, dedicated to Her Imperial Majesty, The Shahbanou of Iran Farah Diba Pahlavai. Yeagley writes regularly for Persian Heritage Magazine, and serves on the editorial board. Dr. Yeagley spent a two week lecture tour in Iran, 1999. He lectured at the University of Tehran, and at Ferdowsi University, Masshad. He visited Razavi University as well. He presented a paper on “Zoroaster and the Jews” to the Iranian Studies Conference in Washington in 2000, and is scheduled to present another, “David and Darius” 2002.

Yeagley is a portrait artist as well. In 1989, he created a genealogy in portraiture, “Bad Eagle and His Descendents,” which showed at Yale Peabody Museum, Philips Academy Peabody Museum, and in Boston’s President’s Church (Quincy). This collection of portraits includes the male line of a single Comanche family, beginning with Bad Eagle, and ending with Yeagley himself.

Dr. Yeagley has written Indian poetry, and plays Comanche flute. He also gourd dances, and designed his own gourd.

Since January, 2001, Yeagley has written regular columns for Front Page Magazine, the internet news journal of David Horowitz. Yeagley has since appeared on national television and radio, and his articles have appeared in several newspapers in the country. Yeagley is also on the Young America’s Foundation speakers list, and speaks at colleges and universities.

Dr. Yeagley is an American Indian Patriot, and has advocated the mandatory teaching of patriotism in public schools. His proposal to the Oklahoma State legislature was endorsed by Governor Frank Keating, and is currently being considered and refined for presentation in the near future.

Dr. Yeagley taught at Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City, University of Central Oklahoma in the past. He has taught Humanities and Psychology since 1996. Yeagley has six years of social work experience in Connecticut, working with the elderly, and emotionally disturbed children and youth.

He was fired because of his political views, in spite of the fact that he’s a real indian. Yeagley has pointed out that the sentiment on American college campuses today seems to be ‘the only good indian is a liberal indian’. Or in the case of Churchill, a fake wannabe indian is fine as long as the politics are leftist!

For the record, lol… Indianz.com posted an article saying that Yeagley wasn’t banished from the Comanche Nation.

I’m the only conservative Indian in the media, but apparently that’s one too many. So they have taken to saying I’m an adopted child, not the son of my Comanche mother, therefore not Comanche. But that lie failed, so now they’re saying the Comanches have banished me from the tribe. Bald Beagle, one of the more sardonic anti-Yeagley blogs, announced that the Comanche Nation had officially banished me, July 28, 2006.

So it’s hilarious to me that Bald Beagle, one of the more sardonic anti-Yeagley blogs, was the one that announced that false notion that the Comanche Nation had officially banished Yeagley on July 28, 2006 because the ‘adopted child’ ploy didn’t work.

This is a typical leftist trick; don’t argue with what Yeagley is saying because you don’t have a leg to stand on in the argument, rather, the better thing to do is to destroy a person’s reputation, go after his family, etc.

Any Comanche knew immediately that what Bald Eagle had put into print was false, because there wasn’t a “tribal council meeting” in July. There was a “special session” on August 5 and the authoritative body is called the “General Council”. In fact, that “General Council” includes all Comanche Nation members, not just a select group of elected officials.

Contrary to the Bald Eagle article, Mike Burgess is not the tribal chairman. He wasn’t then, and after a run-off election August 19, he still isn’t. The chairman is Wallace Coffey. (And, contrary to Bald Beagle, Wilma Mankiller, Tex Hall, Winona LaDuke and Ben Nighthorse Campbell have never visited the Comanche Nation headquarters as a body, and certainly not recently, and not about Yeagley or his alleged banishment.)

“Bald Beagle” is a take-off on the name of Yeagley’s official website, Bad Eagle. That’s the first sign of leftist idiocy. Bald Eagle is an anonymous coward; we don’t know who he is. (There are a lot of leftist blogs like that; “Thinking Meat”, “Stuporpatriots”, immediately come to mind.) The author has purposefully masked his identity with the sarcastic pseudonym Dr. Bald Beagle.

Which, by the way, is a tribute to David Yeagley, as it would seem this blog is dedicated to cyberstalking and attacking his reputation, in whatever goofy method can be cooked up. In a strange sense, it seems to me that Bald Eagle is a celebrity stalker. It’s a peculiar set of circumstances or perhaps an interesting psychological mindset that would have a person disagree so vehemently with someone’s views that they go to great lengths to shut them up, or to alter perceptions on an individual with lies, but this appears to be the case with Bald Eagle.

Yet in spite of all this the Bald Beagle piece was enthusiastically picked up by two other anti-Yeagley bloggers: Voice of a Native Son, and The Try-Works. Yeagley was contacted by friends of Bad Eagle asking David about his banishment. Word certainly gets around quickly in Indian country, even without the Internet.

Yeagley hasn’t been “banished”, the Comanche Nation hasn’t banished anyone, at least in modern times.

Try-Works was created by John Moredock, a Churchill disciple. Also, Voice of a Native Son is obviously a take-off from the title of Churchill’s book, From a Native Son. (”native son” [in leftist indian code talk] is a code word for “not Indian,” or “fake,” like Churchill.) Churchill endorses both Try-Works and Native Son. Yeagley has spoken in critical opposition to Churchill, so, none of this should really come as much of a surprise. Churchill’s minions are out there doing his dirty work under anonymous pseudonyms; a real badge of courage.

Thanks for commenting, Mr. Anonymous leftist wannabe, your troll turds make me laugh.

Go to Frontpage Magazine and read “A Tale of Two Indians”.

From his biography:

David A. Yeagley was born in Oklahoma City. He is a direct descendent of Bad Eagle (quin-ne kish-su-it), headman of a Antelope (kwerharenu) Comanche band (1839-1909). Yeagley is an enrolled member of the Comanche Tribe, Lawton, Oklahoma.
