From the latest Paul Campos piece, Truth Tricky For Churchill, we learn many things:
A) Genealogical research confirms that Churchill isn't Native American, as he claims.
B) Churchill's "academic" work can best be described as fraudulent.
C) Churchill is also a plagiarist (although as I've recounted on here before, academia no longer really frowns on that sort of behavior, unless you sell a lot of books.)
Defending Ward Churchill now puts you beyond rational discourse.
UPDATE:
I wanted to add that I have found Gerald Dworkin's behavior over at Left2Right (i.e. not allowing comments on his Ward Churchill defenses, not mentioning widely reported facts of Churchill's other fraudulent activities, not mentioning Churchill's advocation of violence against political opponents, etc) has displayed an astonishing level of intellectual dishonesty that reflects badly not only on Dworkin himself but on the entire Left2Right community.
