Virginia Tech: We Are All Responsible, Don’t Ya Know?

Posted on April 19, 2007

In the beginning, there was Ward Churchill; a fake Indian, phony disillusioned Vietnam combat vet, and the only tenured professor in an American university to only hold a Master’s degree (even a joke like Cornel West at least has a PhD, even though I won’t gloss over how he is unremittantly giving all PhD holders across the world a pathetically bad name). We all remember his comments about the “little Eichmanns” who deserved to die on 9/11, as well as his richly deserved fall from unearned academic and public grace.

It seems that Ward C. (I’m sorry, I just can’t bring myself to writing out his full name one more time; it would be an insult to the great British leader who shares it, and a member of my personal “Great Men In History” hall of fame) has found a way to asexually spawn another intellectual microbe of the same low(est) caliber. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sherwood Ross, morally and intellectually bankrupt columnist, and author of the most vile and loathsome collection of words recently committed to public attention. Shame on the extreme left-wing rag Counterpunch for even considering publishing them.

What is getting me so riled up about this shameless carbon based life form named Sherwood Ross? Read for yourself:

Who is responsible for the killings in Iraq except the same now bereaved parents of the murdered students at Virginia Tech? It’s not that some of them voted to elect George Bush. Anyone can be deceived, particularly by a notorious liar. But when the president broke the law and invaded Iraq, violating the UN Charter, how many of them protested? Today they are upset that a young, crazed gunman has ran amok on the campus of a peaceful university, but where were they when President Bush defied the United Nations and ran amok in Iraq? Do they know, as Amnesty International reported on the same day as the Virginia Tech murders, the Middle East “is on the verge of a massive humanitarian crisis” because three-million Iraqis have been “forcibly displaced” by the war the grief-stricken Mr. Bush began? Who do the American people think made this humanitarian crisis in the Middle East if not the American people?

The same parents who weep for their children might consider that they and their neighbors are also spending a half trillion dollars a year so that the Pentagon, just over the horizon from Virginia Tech, can wage a war that is snuffing out the lives of children of other parents just like their own. Thousands of Virginians work for the military-industrial complex. They work for the Pentagon. They work for defense contractors. They work for the Central Intelligence Agency. They are in the business of killing directly or indirectly, yet how many of them are haunted by the consequences of their “jobs” in their dreams at night?

All across America, people who attend church and regard themselves as “good” people, such as the bereaved at Virginia Tech, are working in the plants that make atomic bombs and warplanes and napalm and cluster bombs and are creating new, demonical designs of germ warfare and space-based weapons so vile and horrible they defy description.

(…)

Yesterday, the nation woke up to the pain of the kind of killing it has been inflicting widely around the world since its fleets of bombers roared out to destroy Dresden, since it leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki, since it laid waste to Vietnam, since it overthrew Chile, and now since it has invaded two Middle Eastern nations in its thirst for oil.

I won’t insult your intelligence; draw your own conclusions.

This turd’s email is at the bottom of the article he wrote (see link above). He wants your reactions; please, do oblige him. Pretty please.

The AP seems to agree: Va. Tech shooter was laughed at

“Who do the American people think made this humanitarian crisis in the Middle East if not the American people?”

That would be the terrorists, you know, the guys who recently rounded up about 9 Iraqi police officers and murdered them on video and posted it online.
