Truth comes out about professor's background (Repuke with fake medals)

This story was first posted in the Indiana Forum by izzibeans. I was so incensed about it that I will file a complaint with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission. I discuss that in izzibeans's thread:

whenever you run into types who are
a)loud-mouthed
b)attack us "leftists" relentlessly
c) brag about themselves
d) are bloated, aggressive & arrogant

You can bet they're liars, or at least repubs.

The columnist, in her rush to "support the troops," failed to do the most basic of verification on her story. She should lose her job.

Bradford went on O'Reilly to complain and spread his lies. You would think a serious news organization like FOX would do a simple background check before allowing this prevaricator on the air.

like Hannity got caught doing awhile ago.

how conservatives are being unfairly attacked by liberals on college campuses. What hooey!

Bill Bradford: a REAL Scholar & a REAL Native American

While Ward Churchill is an intellectual sheister who claims American Indian ancestry, Indiana University law professor Bill Bradford is the real deal - and has the academic and cultural pedigree to prove it!

Last month on The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly was speaking with Indiana University law professor William C. Bradford. This past spring, Prof. Bradford, an untenured associate law professor at IU-Indianapolis, received a poor vote from his colleagues for eventual tenure as well as to retain him as an associate professor for the next three years (he's currently a visiting professor at the College of William and Mary). Despite his stellar academic and scholarly track record, Bradford told O'Reilly that he believes he's being punished for his refusal last winter to sign a petition supporting Colorado University professor Ward Churchill - you know, the pseudo-intellectual who compared the victims of 9/11 to Nazis (calling them "little Eichmanns" who deserved to die).

The contrast between Professor Bradford and Churchill is striking, which makes his treatment by IU all the more disgusting:

• Churchill is an academic and intellectual sheister who claims Native American ancestry (but can't prove it), while Prof. Bradford is indeed a half-blooded Chiricahua Apache Indian;
  
• Churchill has treasonously bashed his country time and again, while Prof. Bradford served his country honorably in the U.S. Army from 1990-2001, was an adviser to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and served at the War Gaming and Simulation Center;
  
• Churchill doesn't even have a PH.D, and if one were to compare academic credentials, he couldn't hold a candle to Bill Bradford (as one can see from his website).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So O'Reilly brought on this right-wing idiot to trash Ward Churchill. Ah, ha ha ha.

Ha, ha, ha, etc.

There must be a big hole in their sense of self.

SOBs who further erode the integrity of this nation. No more noble than the leaders of Caesar's Rome.

feeling like he needed to enhance with some medals.

Bawk, Bawk!

Lives in Carmel... Gee what is the demographics for that city?

Has only been registered to vote since 2002 but did not vote in 2002 election.

Reading his own personal website gives a different impression of Bradford. Don't know what to make of this person.

It would appear that Bradford is more liberal than conservative based on his website. Need to hear from those that have known Bradford for a longer period of time.

It doesn't help him to go to O'Reilly and others of his ilk. That defines him as on the wrong side.

This item doesn't sound too well-balanced, from his profile, near the bottom of the page, in "Recent Activities:"

His recent article, "The Duty to Defend Them: A Natural Legal Justification of the Bush Doctrine of Preventative War," will appear in the Notre Dame Law Review.

in his perspective.

Based on his voter registration and his education credentials he is probably not native to Indiana.

I wonder what else he has lied about? I wonder if he plagiarized his work, or cheated in some other manner?

The page you linked to, http://www.indylaw.indiana.edu/people/profile.cfm?EmpNum=126 , now says "Sorry, this page is temporarily unavailable." but I've found an older archived version of it where some of the dates are different.

Note that the archived version says 1990 to 2001 where your version says 1994 to 2001.

The semester is nearly over and Bradford's resignation is effective on January 1st.

The "advisor" to Chairman JCS really gets me. What did he do, write a memo? Heck, by that standard I can refer to myself as advisor to Donald Rumsfeld!

do a background check? EVER??? these people amaze me! :rofl:

I suspect from reading the article and this man's web site, that he has probably told quite a few lies. He was only caught in the lies about his record. I feel sorry for the students who took his classes and may have even looked up to him.

His resume sparkles even without the window dressing. No need to lie to make himself even grander.

:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:

For an officer to receive ZERO awards in a 6 year time span is incredible. He must've been a complete fuckup, no kidding.

Yeah right. . .

probably every war has more liars than real Vets who saw action.

I've encountered lots of Vietnam Vets -- who never were in country -- but claim to be combat veterans.

Mostly the real Vets don't brag -- they will quietly make remarks about seeing action but only if they have to.

Now is this guy really Native American . . . lots of people make up stories about being Native American. Whereas just a generation or two ago people lied about their "dark" relatives (dark Irish, or they tan really well).

n/t

Yep. Some right wing outfit will hire him. Dishonesty is a prequisite for a lot of what they do- and I'm sure they'll find just the right position for a guy like him.

He is in violation of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, and Indiana's Rules of Professional Conduct (if he is licensed to practice in Indiana).

ABA Model Rules (DR 1-102):

A lawyer shall not... engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.

It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to... engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.
