Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine watched Bill Maher’s HBO show tonight, with special guest, nutty professor Ward Churchill. Here’s a sample of the absolute lunacy that Jarvis liveblogged:

Maher asks him whether fighting Hitler was wrong. Churchill says, “I wouldn’t say that opposing Hitler was wrong but some of the ways he was opposed were wrong.”

And this:

Maher brings out a 9/11 family member, Michael Faughnan, who lost his brother at Cantor Fitzgerald. He says the brother disagrees with Churchill but supports him.

We couldn’t find anyone who doesn’t support Churchill, Bill? We had to exploit a family member?

Now Maher wimpily questions Churchill but still attacks America: “I don’t understand how you can compare the passive aggressive… We’re lazy and arrogant and greedy and myopic, and all those things cause some misery around the world. But Eichmann was proactively killing people.”

When did genocide become the subject of MBAspeak: “technical function,” “proactive”…. It’s murder, men!

Churchill says that by displacing profits and “moving labor to sweatshops in [Malaysia] you’re doing things comparable to what Eichmann did.”

Read the whole thing and cringe.
