Gays and abortion caused Virginia Tech shootings


At least, that's what Donald Wilmon and the American Family Association are saying.

Bleh.

Hopefully the video works; it's my first attempt to embed a YouTube link.

Update: Wilmon has company. Rush Limbaugh said the shooter had to be a liberal, while both the American Thinker and Newt Gingrich say liberalism is to blame.

Well, that's no worse than the Editorial from The Philadelphia Inquirer who blames America. This comment came as they told South Korea to stop apologizing......

"But, really, the suspect came to America as a child. He was raised here. Maybe we should be apologizing to you for not taking better care of him."

Strange, though, considering his family said he had problems before he left South Korea and they thought he was mentally ill.

There are whacko's like this everywhere who seek to blame everyone BUT the killer. There's no accounting for their lack of logic.

Yes it is. By light years. Particularly because that editorial came nowhere close to "blaming America" -- whatever that means in this context.

Oh yes it did:

"....the suspect came to America as a child. He was raised here. Maybe we should be apologizing to you for not taking better care of him."

Clearly blaming America.

I just listened to your entire video clip. Where does it say that "gays and abortion" CAUSED Virginia Tech?

Not at all. It's in the context of telling South Korea that it doesn't have anything to apologize for. It's saying "Even if we accept the idea that a country should apologize for the actions of an individual, it should be us, not you."

But the rest of that paragraph says "Or maybe the ugly twists that the human spirit can take are just unfathomable."

The rest of the editorial talks about fears of backlash and the like.

And here you show that you can be awfully literal when you want to be.

The argument made in the video goes like this: Why didn't God stop the killings? Because God isn't allowed in schools. Why not? Because of atheists, Dr. Spock, abandonment of corporal punishment, abortions, condoms, child porn, Hollywood and (going by the imagery) gay pride parades.

All that, apparently, has produced a generation of children without conscience or values, thus leading inevitably to mass murders by crazy people.
