May 1, 2004 -- A college student called NFL star and war hero Pat Tillman an "idiot" who "got what he deserved," and now he's getting payback.

Rene Gonzalez wrote the vicious piece in the University of Massachusetts paper, The Daily Collegian, just after Tillman was killed in action in Afghanistan.

Gonzalez e-mailed a Boston TV station to apologize for being "insensitive." Post Wire Services

I'd like to see his "apology" but from this article, "insensitive" is not going to cut it.

You have to be a real skidmark to denounced by the University of Massachusetts while a student writer there.

Agreed. A Nationwide apology to the family would be a start. But what about the editor? He or she bears some responsibility as well..

attacking a dead soldier, he thought, was going to be
easy. these "violently anti-war liberals" are well and
truly p*ssies.

I hope this thing follows him around for years to come with
potential employers. he couldn't even get away with this
in academia, the private sector would definitely frown on
this sort of thing.

It is good when a liberal comes all the way out of the closet and shows his true colors.

I think this Rene (he Rene or she Rene) has done the men and women of the armed forces a service by making people think hard about how they see our military. How many people want to line up next to this kind of craven, stinking lunatic?

Typical leftist scumbag apology. Not an apology for the act itself, but for some vague "insensitivity".

Hey, Rene, here's an idea: Apologize for being an a$$hole. Say it straight.
