Obama: Imus Equates to the Virginia Tech Massacre???

Barack Obama today took the honor of being the first demagogue to cynically and opportunistically politicize the Virginia Tech massacre when he none-too-subtly suggested that Imus using derogatory language is somehow in the same solar system as a deranged gunman slaughtering 30+ innocent students. Giving him the benefit of the doubt that the rigors of a presidential campaign are starting to catch up his lack of presidential qualifications and he truly believes that insults can be responsible for mass murder, I would like to respectfully suggest that perhaps he should familiarize himself with the Pareto Principle and focus his energies on language that actually advocates violence. Instead of focusing on cantankerous old men who make millions by saying stupid things to a professional and adult audience and spend the money helping needy children with autism and cancer, a good start may be people who make millions from impressionable teenagers by not just advocating, but also living a life of violence, criminality, misogyny.
