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.

UMass president Jack Wilson said Gonzalez's comments "are a disgusting, arrogant and intellectually immature attack on a human being who died in service to his country."

Aw c'mon, Jack! Why don't you tell us what you REALLY think?

LOL!! I'm sure glad the University Pres. didn't have any trouble telling it like it SHOULD be, and not trying to be 'diplomatic' about it!

How much do you want to bet that this Rene votes for his self proclaimed "war hero" John Kerry.

"What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators..."

--President George W. Bush, First Inaguaration 1/20/01

Thank you for taking the time to be a Citizen, not a spectator. RobFromGa

Personally, I think the sorry assed little scum bag should be kicked out of school and immediately be taken to someplace like Ft. Bragg and used in any way the drill instructors see fit. Then we'll talk about the concept of "getting what he deserved."

If you want drill sergeants to get a go at him, then Ft. Benning, GA, is where you want him to end up. They'd make short work of him there...mwa ha ha ha ha...

However, were that punishment the case, I'd recommend Ft. Lewis, WA--the home station of the Ranger Battalion that Tillman was part of. Let them have some fun with him...

"...How do you make a Conservative angry? Tell him a Lie. And a Liberal???? Tell him the TRUTH..."

Not to worry about the gnats, Kay... you're on the right track - Literally and figuratively.

Disagree, respectfully. Gonzalez is not my "hermano", nor does he gain a mulligan for coming from the island my ancestors come from.

He is a leftist, at best is ashamed of or at worst, Hates America - despite living off the fat of the land, getting an education at a good school in the belly of the very land he slights.

His punctuated references to his Puerto-Ricanness aside which liberally intersperse his writings are nothing more than the mantra of group (rights, politics, identity... insert as needed) and thus 180 degrees opposite of one of our most sacred Mottos; "E Pluribus Unum".

OK He's allowed to his opinion: so am I. It just pisses me royally that he would bad mouth a soldier who was representing the UMass and all of the US. AS AN AVENGER!!!

I think the thing that pisses me off more, is that there are people who think the Army is wrong to fight to DEFEND the country. I'm thinking a Draft may be in order again--lets start at UMass.
