LaRouche Blames Microsoft For NIU Tragedy

"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 "COLLEGE KILLER CRAZY FOR VIOLENT VID GAME", 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.

"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."

How lame. When would these people research, before blaming video for violence in the world. There is a f**king war going on out there, and you think that have not impact on people.

Tough day for Microsoft... First RRoD at GDC, now they're worse than Hitler!! Sometimes you can't catch a break!! :)

I don't believe for a second that Counter Strike players are training on this game to murder people... Most of the players I've encountered couldn't hit the side of a barn!!

well if a male is that impressionable that a game can "influence" him to kill people because of video games then he should be at home playing video games. he should be in a mental hospital right?

LOL... this is a joke.

For one like they state they have zero to do with Counter Strike.

Id expect a large law suit to be filed pretty dam soon and rightly so.

these people need to be quarantined. Why not blame a ((grown man)) who did or didn't take his Prozac and decided to commit *murder*? Is that worth blame?

Unfknbelievable.

What never ceases to amaze me is that Movies and TV aren't looked upon in the same light as video games. I see plenty of violence in movies and on tv so shouldn't that have the same effect as video games?(which most evidence has supported is none)

The LaRouche movement need not be taken seriously. I would consider them creative, not critical, thinkers, whose ideas rarely stand up to reality.

Oh, I agree with you. I was saying that voting for a pig doesn't surprise me since they already voted for a lot of them in the past and will STILL vote in the future.

19 - Only thing M$ is to blame is....
RRoDs.

But seriously, when will these Jack Thompsons stop their frigg1ng BS? It seems gaming is the cause of everything nowadays, but its just because its a really big industry that is growing constantly.

I don't see how gaming and movies/tvs are different in the sense of "making kids violent". Second though, sometimes I want to sneak in some places a la Solid Snake and twist some necks, specially M$ testing office and the office of Jack Thompson. Read this comment while you can, I am editing it really soon, so I don't go to jail for saying such a thing LOL, next N4G news "N4Ger gamer goes to jail for posting comment about twisting JT neck, JT blames MGS saga and Sony for it- 1080"

blahahahahhahahahhahaha such crap. I've been playing violent videogames since I was 5 and it hasn't made me violent at all ! I think people that kill after seeing something in GTA are called CRAZY nothing else. I was 10 i think when I played GTA 3 when it was released... So please Mr.Larouche *stfu* :) . I know loads of my friends who play violent video games and their the nicest people ! If some of my friends can play counter-strike everyday for 4-6 hours and during the weekends even more (yes their crazy into video games) and not kill anyone I won't believe in any research lol.

Oh and ever heard of VALVE ?? lol
