"School shooting expert" Jack Thompson appeared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews today to ramble incoherently further about the gossamer-thin connection between Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-Hui's actions and the Half-Life mod Counter-Strike. According to Jack—and no one else—Seung-Hui might have played Counter-Strike in high school at some point making him a calm and efficient killer. While Jack defends that connection in the most what-the-fuck way possible, Matthews takes him to task for his massive leaps in "logic."

Normally, I'm not a fan of helping this tired [expletive deleted] spew his garbage propaganda via the site, but the clip is worth watching for a refreshing change. Instead of letting JT simply regurgitate the same spiel for the thousandth time unfettered, Matthews actually calls into question Jack's warping of the facts.

Wonder if they found Crecente's feature, forwarded them prior to the taping pointing out Jack's lies, helpful? We can only hope!

Thanks for the vid, darkslide. Shame about that off-sync sound though. I do apologize for that. Michael McWhertor
