				"International Fascism: Microsoft Will Kill More Youth than Hitler." That is the title of a news posting over at the LaRouche Political Action Committee website, home of the supporters of American political nutcase Lyndon LaRouche. Taking their lead from the New York Post's sensationalist article <a href="http://kotaku.com/357301/nypost-college-killer-crazy-for-violent-vid-games">"COLLEGE KILLER CRAZY FOR VIOLENT VID GAME"</a>, the LaRouche Camp is apparently blaming "Microsoft's Counterstrike killer video-game" for the shooting. Never mind that Microsoft doesn't make Counter-Strike - that's probably all part of the conspiracy as well. <blockquote>The intended effect, to foster an environment of mass suicide terrorism in the U.S.A., is a by-product of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' policy, organized by Felix Rohatyn and George P. Shultz; the same individuals, who not only helped to install the fascist Pinochet into the Chilean government, but are the prime backers of a fascist Bloomberg Presidency.</blockquote>We really need to get LaRouche and Thompson into a room together. Then we can lock it and forget where we put the key. Perhaps sweet love will bloom.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/358052/larouche-blames-microsoft-for-niu-tragedy" title="Click here to read more about LaRouche Blames Microsoft For NIU Tragedy">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				The New York Post, not exactly a bastion for accurate and fair reporting, decided that "sick shooter" Steven Kazmierczak's interest in Counter-Strike three to four years ago made a better headline than the fact that he was off his medication when he decided to go on a rampage in an Illinois classroom.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/357301/nypost-college-killer-crazy-for-violent-vid-games" title="Click here to read more about NYPost: College Killer Crazy for Violent Vid Games">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Hal Halpin, head of the Entertainment Consumers Association, has issued a statement following the tragic events at Northern Illinois University, events which our dear old friend was so quick to <a href="http://kotaku.com/356999/jack-thompson-blames-niu-shooting-on-video-games">seize upon and blame on videogames</a>. The statement reads: <blockquote>We'd like to extend our condolences to the families, friends and classmates of those who were affected in the school shooting at Northern Illinois University. Separately, we are disgusted, but no longer shocked, to find that anti-game activists are again rushing to conclusions about what drove Stephen Kazmierczak, the clearly disturbed 27 year old who police say was responsible for this tragedy, to commit such an act. </blockquote>				<a href="http://kotaku.com/357262/eca-boss-responds-to-jt-niu-shooting" title="Click here to read more about ECA Boss Responds To JT, NIU Shooting">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				<a href="http://kotaku.com/gaming/virginia-tech/breaking-idiot-thompson-blames-va-shooting-on-games-252702.php">It's Virginia Tech all over again!</a> Florida attorney Jack Thompson has appeared on Fox News this morning as a "School Shooting Expert", blaming 27-year-old sociology grad Steven Kazmierczak's rampage yesterday at Northern Illinois University on - you guessed it - video games like Counter-Strike. Kazmierczak, identified only this morning, walked onto a lecture hall stage dressed in black and opened fire on a crowded science class, killing six students before taking his own life. As always, no evidence has been found linking Kazmierczak to video games, Counter-Strike or otherwise, but Thompson never let a lack of evidence keep him from shooting off his mouth. I imagine his ears perk up like a dog hearing its master's voice the moment a terrible tragedy like this occurs. We're currently looking into Kazmierczak to see if there is any sort of video game connection. We'll keep you posted.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/356999/jack-thompson-blames-niu-shooting-on-video-games" title="Click here to read more about Jack Thompson Blames NIU Shooting On Video Games">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
