This schmuck was on Olbermann the other day; Check out the other two fuckups of a similar bent. Reminds me of the time that some people got blown up in London and the "first thing" that occurred to Brit Hume was that it was a good time to buy stocks.

Yeah, that John Derbyshire piece was actually the first dose of this particular brand of crazy that I came across. Can't wait until Ann Coulter chimes in. Tucker Carlson is too busy blaming the kid's college professors. Which makes sense, considering that they're mental health professionals...ohhhh, noooo, scratch that, they're EDUCATORS, AND NOT INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CAMPUS SAFETY.

em oh lei

Free gifts??? (PANT PANT PANT, LICK, PANT) where do i sign???

Also occurring that day - the day of the London attacks - was FOX's John Gibson wishing said attacks on France. Now, back to VaTech: You know, if any of these hard-assed, gung-ho, I'll-kill-those-mofos right-wingers - strangely, conspicuously absent from the nation's enlistment offices - wishes to "do his/her thing" with the campus shooter, I'll gladly step in my time machine and swap them with one of the dead.

My guess: They'd either shit and/or piss themselves before this kid even drew his guns. Why? Two reasons: Unfamiliarity with being on a college campus and general fear of minorities.

LOL @ em oh lei! oh christ people I miss that girl. I MISS THAT GIRL!

Joseph, my favorite part was about how a .22 can't do that much damage. Yeah. I mean obviously, or else he would have killed, like 60 people at least.

thelizabeff

oh--and LOL at nothing closely related to the shootings, just LOL at em oh lei, just so we're all clear.

Joseph

Yeah, tell that to the folks with multiple bullets in them. Here's the thing: Let's assume these classes featured the ideological divisions displayed by greater society. Then, it's safe to assume there were some rabid right-wingers in the seats that day, perhaps people even as cake-brained as people like John Derbyshire. Those people didn't do anything, so this entire shit-for-brains hypothesis is laughable on its face. But wait, THOSE ALIVE NOW TO COMPLAIN would have done something. Christ, if you want to save people that badly from mass casualty situations, volunteer to sniff out IEDs in Iraq. Is there something about hiding behind a keyboard that makes these gutless tools think they're Rambo?

the delete button?

I would have guessed the tilde key.

Joseph

On a completely non-related note, but something I thought I'd share with someone in academia, my good friend Haley has been named a University Professor at my alma mater!!!

thelizabeth

Wow, that's exciting! Must feel a little strange, too...

In other news, I got bit! bitten! bited! whatever!

Joseph

That's awesome. Congrats on being bittened. And you're right, it's a tad bit bizarre. When I worked at OU, I used to write those releases. Now, I'm hitting the town with the winners and their spouses. I'm OLD.
