EXCERPT: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BRIAN ROHRBOUGH, FATHER: I am saddened and shaken by the shooting at an Amish school today and last week's school murders. When my son Dan was murdered on the sidewalk at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999, I hoped that would be the last school shooting.

Since that day, I tried to answer the question why did this happen? This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing Him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak without moral consequences. And life has no inherent value.

We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you, the murder of innocent children is always wrong, including by abortion.

Abortion has diminished the value of children. Suicide has become an acceptable action and has further emboldened these criminals. And we are seeing an epidemic increase in murder/suicide attacks on our children. (END EXCERPT)

VIDEO available at source link with full Talking Points memo including Mr. Rohrbough's "FreeSpeech" segment, which leads to Katie Couric receiving the usual barking moonbat outrage, causing her to write this about it on her CBS Blog:

We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant. (Some of you made that point loud and clear!)

PING.

"We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant."

Katie, looking at your own slipping ratings, it appears many more people actually find YOU repugnant!

[Pete]

The truth is "repugnant" to those who deny it and try to suppress it.

[Red Badger]

"Free Speech" but only if you agree with us.............

[BenLurkin]

So Catie finds pro-life opinion to be "repugnant" ????

She really is a "Death to America Democrat"

[Tijeras_Slim]

I was sure they'd get Tom Mauser on, the "Cindy Sheehan" of Columbine.

[roses of sharon]

Katie finds most American repugnant?

To bad those Americans will never see what she wrote about them.

But I will do my best to get this passed around on the net and email.

In a roundabout way this story from The Onion is related:

Thanks to stern new security measures, a militarized school environment and a massive public-relations effort designed to obscure all memory of the murderous event, members of Columbine's popular crowd are once again safe to reassert their social dominance and resume their proud, longstanding tradition of excluding those who do not fit in.

Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping!

"This country is in a moral free fall."

You got that right.

Katie Couric probably thinks the man who spoke was some sort of troglodyte. She has no concept of how real human beings live.

[Darkwolf377]

Couric is trying so very hard to be accepted into the MSM Insiders Club. She was valued as a morning fluff hostess who maintained the liberal standard in the AM, but now that she's on at night she seems to want to be seen as more, as a hard news reporter, but also as one of the elite idols. She's desperate to earn her "Rathergate" stripes.

Washington Post article on this:

On CBS, Columbine Dad Blames Violence on Secularism

[Froufrou]

This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing Him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak without moral consequences. And life has no inherent value.

Says it all.

[MediaMole]

At least CBS let him speak his piece. That alone is a major breakthrough. In the past, conservative views simply didn't exist.

[EagleUSA]

Little Katie Koran --- does it again. Leftist, anti-American [female dog].

[jwalburg]

LOL

[Brilliant]

There is no question that the PA killings were influenced by the media. It was a copycat of the CO killings a few days earlier. If the media had not given the CO killer his 15 minutes of fame, the PA killer would not have had anything to copy.

The Columbine killings were also media inspired. Aside from the fact that the killers were inspired by a video game, there is also the fact that they were obviously looking to gather attention, as evidenced by the videotape they made talking about how they were about to become famous.

The media should either stop reporting these incidents altogther, or it should rethink how it does this so that it does not give these guys their 15 minutes, and does not encourage copycats.

If they don't do it voluntarily, then the FCC should force them to. If the FCC can regulate smut, it can regulate this. If the government can regulate guns in the face of the Second Amendment, then it can regulate the media on this issue in the face of the First Amendment.
