right-wing idiots blame the victims of the va tech shootings

so basically, it's the students' fault they died cause they didn't rush the shooter or weren't packing themselves? wow...forget simon cowell rolling his eyes, these are the folks really disrepecting the victims.

syndicated radio host neal boortz: "I would love to get some psychological or somebody in the business that can answer this question: How the hell do 25 students allow themselves to be lined up against the wall in a classroom and picked off one by one? How does that happen, when they could have rushed the gunman, the shooter, and most of them would have survived?"

columnist and foxspert michelle malkin: "Instead of encouraging autonomy, our higher institutions of learning stoke passivity and conflict-avoidance. And as the erosion of intellectual self-defense goes, so goes the erosion of physical self-defense."

nathaniel blake of the publication human events: "The students at Virginia Tech should be heartily ashamed of themselves. College classrooms have scads of young men who are at their physical peak, he writes, and none of them seems to have done anything beyond ducking, running, and holding doors shut. Something is clearly wrong with the men in our culture."

but, the worst of the worst has to be the national review's john derbyshire, who not only insults the victims of the massacre, but her even drops a 9/11 reference in there for no reason...maybe he can get a gig writing speeches for the president: "Where was the spirit of self-defense here? Setting aside the ludicrous campus ban on licensed conceals, why didn't anyone rush the guy? It's not like this was Rambo, hosing the place down with automatic weapons. He had two handguns for goodness' sake -- one of them reportedly a .22. At the very least, count the shots and jump him reloading or changing hands. Better yet, just jump him. Handguns aren't very accurate, even at close range. I shoot mine all the time at the range, and I still can't hit squat. I doubt this guy was any better than I am. And even if hit, a .22 needs to find something important to do real damage—your chances aren't bad. Yes, yes, I know it's easy to say these things: but didn't the heroes of Flight 93 teach us anything? As the cliche goes—and like most cliches. It's true—none of us knows what he'd do in a dire situation like that. I hope, however, that if I thought I was going to die anyway, I'd at least take a run at the guy."

what supreme doucebaggery....

kudos to mediamatters.com and "countdown" for compiling these.
