Nice try, you cut out the part where he blamed the victim, and I quote:

Donohue criticized the publication's history of offending the world's religiously devout, including non-Muslims. The murdered Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier "didn’t understand the role he played in his [own] tragic death," the statement reads. "Had [Charbonnier] not been so narcissistic, he may still be alive," Donohue says, in what must be one of the more offensive and insensitive comments made on this tragic day.

Beyond "insensitive" or "offensive", Donohue BLAMED THE VICTIM for bringing his murder upon himself.

It's absolutely clear that Donohue blamed the victim for his own death, there's no mistaking it. There's no misinterpretation at all. He blamed the victim. You are pissing in the wind trying to defend him.

And yet, when you're given the source material, you won't believe that either...

He reminds me of a professor who spoke at my son's graduation. He went on an ad-lib rant about the republicans and the hubris of Bush and Cheney. Very disjointed and sometimes undecipherable. He looked so proud of himself that I had to track him down to tell him, "Hubris - the act of making a graduation into a personal dais for poorly planned and poorly stated political beefs." He and one of his colleagues scowled while they tried to think up a clever retort - the other colleague grinned and winked.
