    Looks like one of those internet predators you see, or some preacher who just got busted bending his altar boys over.

    Blaming victims is the sign of a sick mind.


  3. Zooey says:

    DERBY: Waaaaaahhh!! I’m being abused!!



  4. Raven says:

    Abuse? This sounds like a job for Captain Gonzoid!


  5. Tom3 says:

    These Reich Wingnuts are all dangerously psychotic.

    They live in a Bizarro World where they can win in Iraq.

    They support an idiot Chimp and his thug regime.

    Who is Derbyshire btw?

  8. michael says:

    Maybe Derbyshire meant to argue the fact that 1 or 2 students having concealed carry permits / guns could have stopped this massacre?


  9. Zep says:

    I don’t think their will be a winner or loser, as these things are mediated, the UN brought the resolutions and they should bring the mediation.

    You know michael if gun laws were as strict as RX medications he wouldn’t have been able to purchase a gun?

    This guy was another nut just like the guy who killed those Amish children. Why is that michael?

    He’s an assh*le who works for National Review Online, who likes to trash dead students before their bodies are cold. Click on the link, and you’ll see his picture.

  14. michael says:

    rx medications are not protected under the 2nd Amendment. This guy was a “nut” because we live in a fallen world of sin. It won’t be set perfect until Jesus returns.


  15. Zep says:

    maybe not, zep.

    Because they are both fundamentalist Christians. Isn’t that right, michael?

    People these fundamentalist christians are so obsessed with the rapture that they are trying to bring it on. And of course because of their evil natures they get joy from the belief that nonbelievers will only suffer the consequences.

    Funny that Cho thought he was Christ. And he Sinned. Why is that?

    The point is michael he was on anti-depressants. Felons can’t have guns either.


  19. michael says:

    I doubt the VT killer was a Christian.


  20. Zep says:

    If I told you I was Jesus michael would you believe it?


  21. Zep says:

    I doubt the VT killer was a Christian.

    Comment by michael

    Why? Because he was asian? Many Koreans from South Korea are.


  22. michael says:

    No, zep, I wouldn’t believe that. Not many Christians murder 33 students and teachers.


  23. Zep says:

    I doubt the VT killer was a Christian.

    Comment by michael

    He obviously thought differently. I doubt your a christian michael.

    Can you prove or disprove either?


  24. Shane says:

    I guess you’d know better than his family.

    Gee how about the fundie President. He doesn’t have any trouble authorizing murders.


  26. Zep says:

    How many innocents did this freedom operation take?

    And yet you believe such a man?

    Isn’t it amazing that the most hateful and selfish people like michael/jake consider themselves christians.


  28. Zooey says:

    Jake is showing his true colors on this thread. Sick f*ck.


  29. jeff says:

    Amato is a whore for going on FOX.


  30. michael says:

    Only God knows for sure, but I will note that “murder” involved the UNjustified killing of human beings, you know, like ABORTION.


  31. Sharon says:

    Wasen’t jim jones some kind of a cult christian.? How about the waco nut, old what’s his name wasen’t he a christian and timothy mcveigh, other’s.? I’m having a gonzo moment, I don’t recall….LOL…Blessings


  32. david says:

    I say we believe the 2nd Amendment literally and only allow citizens to own the kind of weapons available in 1789 if they volunteer in a well-regulated militia. “Present muskets. And keep your powder dry.”


  33. Some Guy says:

    Let me get this right–he blames the victims of execution style murder of not “defending themselves” and when some calls him a “coward,” he calls that abuse? What am I missing?


  34. Sharon says:

    michael / jake, the cowardly little black hearted little troll’s hiding behind a phony screen name and spewing sickness..Your as bad as the lunatick that commited all those murder’s, bush to support his greed and delusions…sick sob…..


  35. michael says:

    Blessed be, Sharon.


  36. Happy420 says:

    Well Cho compared himself to Jesus, so I would say he was brought up Christian, and at the very least brought up in this loving Christian America teaching him things like blessed are the corporations, we only trust in god, when it’s printed on our money. Just another empty slogan from the morally, and intellectually inept.

    Honestly I don’t see much difference between Cho, Jake, Jason, Valiunt, RogerX2, Bush, Cheney, and so on. They live in their own reality of fear, hatred based on fear, and ignorance, as well as greed. Some Americans call it Christianity.


  37. ben says:

    Derb won’t even stand up for his own writing when faced with questions by Colmes. What do you think his response would be faced with a 9mm.

    He certainly is a coward the way he tried disown the implications of his writing.


  38. JPark says:

    We should allow all our paranoid schizos to carry firearms!!! Right gun nuts? While we are at it why should felons not be able to carry? They have a right to self-defense, right? Says so in the second amendment.


  39. ForTruth says:

    I kind of prefer the idea of the government knowing people have weapons.


  40. JPark says:

    #38 Sorry, the second amendment is a coverall. Everybody has a right to arms. It doesn’t say anything about regulation or anything.


  41. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell says:

    Derbyshire wrote an article shortly after Bush got in entitled:

    “Be Very Afraid”, essentially advocating for the EXTERMINATION of

    Chelsea Clinton.

    After being confronted, this coward gave the standard right-wing-hate-spewer response used by Rush, Coulter, O’Reilly, Malkin, etc

    “I was making a ‘joke’”.

    Actually a “jake”.

    Such human GARBAGE, and that includes Cheney, Bush, Gonzo, Rum.

    See you in hell America (cause I’LL be THERE),


    Mr. Bush
    MURDEROUS WAR CRIMINAL
    COXUCKER PUNK TRAITOR TO THE USA (TM)


  42. JPark says:

    #40 Of course it was a joke. A righty can’t make a joke if it doesn’t involve death in some way.


  43. Kate Henry says:

    “In his twisted mind he thought his logic was sound and repeated that he wasn’t criticizing the students, but merely raising a point of conversation.” I loved this. It sounds a lot like O’Reilly trying to justify his attack on the young kidnap victim where he said that he “liked being there more than being at home”.

    These people are scum. I would be willing to bet that if any of them came face to face with someone who had an automatic weapon aimed at them, they would freeze, piss their pants and probably pass out.


  44. Kate Henry says:

    “Maybe Derbyshire meant to argue the fact that 1 or 2 students having concealed carry permits / guns could have stopped this massacre?”

    I have been thinking a lot about the call to have the students be armed. How about this for a scenario. You come into a classroom and there are two people in the classroom with guns drawn. How do you know which one to shoot? How about the police have a sniper who is looking on the scene from a distance. Then they see a student pull a gun. BAM…that student is dead. How did the police sniper know that the student with the gun as a good guy and not a bad guy?

    More guns is not the solution to this problem. Keeping guns out of the hands of people should not have them is the problem.


  45. bakho says:

    Most classrooms, students are crammed in. It is not easy to get up let alone get up and rush an attacker. What a moron!
