Oh, the irony...

[ChumpDumper]

I don't care if you are, I don't even pretend to believe you should. There are hundreds of other posters in the forum that have demonstrated their disinterest by not posting in the thread. Might I suggest you do the same if you are unable to figure out whether or not you're interested?

I told you my interest, which is wondering why your interest doesn't extend beyond drive by gloating over this man's murder.

[Yonivore]

I'm saying I don't know what he wrote because this article didn't quote him... instead quoting other writers they claim had the same views. Why wouldn't they just quote the subject of the story? There's a very big gap between identifying white privilege as a root cause of black violence vs. outright justifying it. If he actually said that violence is justified, I'm sure that quote is available somewhere.

It's as though they believe their audience will just accept (and in some instances share) whatever is spoon fed to them without having the intellectual curiosity to validate what they're reading.

Well, you're welcome to defend his record and clarify for us all, if it bothers you so much.

I'm happy to believe the American Thinker, unlike The Rolling Stone and that ugly nudist from some HBO show, knows the laws concerning libel and that, if they're off the mark, someone more interested than you will step forward and defend Dr. Ruenzel's honor.

Your faux outrage on his behalf is cute, though.

I believe it demonstrated a point about the far left and their stupidity. Dr. Ruenzel was an idiot if he believed white privilege was the cause of black violence and he does the world no favor by spewing that stupidity from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

There. That's my interest. Does that change anything for you?

Don't be mistaken, I have no interest or outrage over this particular story. I have a general interest in letting people know when articles they share make them look stupid.

Yeah, well, don't worry about me. I'll be just fine.

What is the evidence he said this?

You forgot the make them look stupid part.

Okay, before I go digging and find these articles, are you going to admit the way he died is ironic if, in fact, I find articles authored by Steve Reunzel that speak about white privilege being the cause of black violence?

Because, if you're just going to move the goal post again, why should I go to the effort?

Frankly, I'm satisfied that it's true and, if not, I'd support a lawsuit againt American Thinker for libel or slander.

I've checked. He was an author for at least one of the Southern Poverty Law Center's publications but, searching his name there doesn't produce any results. All you get is the outrage over the American Thinker article.

I also note his association with the Southern Poverty Law Center isn't mentioned in his obituary. One could speculate on why that is but, why would one?

All I'm saying is if you and "American Thinker" want to e the football on this guy's grave, at least have a quote of his you can gloat over.

ty article, ty reason for posting the article.

Your opinion is noted.

[ChumpDumper]

The absolute lack of any quote from the murder victim is noted.

The glee with which you and others have celebrated his death when you knew absolutely nothing about him before the rss feed spat the story out is noted.

Oh, he was a Common Core advocate too. Double stupid.

Dude wrote three blog posts for a SPLC-affiliated site between 1996 and 1998. No wonder it wasn't mentioned in his obituary. Read them here: http://www.tolerance.org/author/david-ruenzel

Meanwhile this article claiming he was some kind of prominent SPLC writer who justified black violence because of white privilege has been gleefully passed around all of the standard white supremacy sites like Stormfront.org. That's proud company, Yonivore! Nice work.

[Spurminator]

The American Thinker audience seems like a nice bunch of guys. Highly intellectual. My favorite part is when someone compares Reunzel to Goebbels, and a bunch of people start coming to Goebbels' defense!

Probably his last words to his thug murderers were: "Please don't kill me. I hate white people just as much as you do."

Perplexed baldridge999• 13 days ago
Little did he know that he enabled the black thug mentality that killed him.

Nicholas I HSkol• 10 days ago
Good riddance. Back to your atheist gay Lutheran mosque. You can boast there about your crappy class of '91, and seek pity for your hasbara failures and get retrained.

If there is a God and I believe there is, Ruenzel KNOWS. And therein lies justice.

E. +Goldstein baldridge999• 13 days ago
Just like Goebbels, Ruenzel died believing in his own propaganda. They both made their living lying and knowing they were lying, until they finally came to believe their own propaganda. They were worthless lying creeps the world is better off without.

Raydonn E. +Goldstein• 12 days ago
What 'propaganda' did Herr Goebbels believe?

Hank Seiter baldridge999• 13 days ago
Good point. Poetic justice, I'd say. Good riddance.

I believe it was Jane Gooddall whose life mission was to prove that lions, gorillas and apes were of high intelligence, and if approached in a spirit of love and understanding could co-exist with humans. She fully do ented her theory---until they killed and ate her.

[ChumpDumper]

Jane will be so surprised to read she's been killed by a cabal of lions, gorillas and apes.

Sounds like a bunch of people in here...starting with boutons.

Please note, I haven't agreed with any of those commenters (although, I come closest to agreeing with "Perplexed baldridge999) and, I rarely judge content based on attached commentary; some of the weirdest people inhabit the internet commentariat.

[FromWayDowntown]

So you think Ruenzel deserved what happened to him and that his death is justice?

"If only he had distrusted blacks, he'd still be alive . . . . "

Where's that Gronkowski e clip when you need it?

[Yonivore]

So you think Ruenzel deserved what happened to him and that his death is justice?

No. I think it's a tragedy.

"If only he had distrusted blacks, he'd still be alive . . . . "

I don't know that he did or did not trust blacks.

I merely pointed out the irony. I made no judgment on whether or not his death was due to the white privilege-driven black violence he allegedly described.

FYI - The words "White privilege" do not appear in any of the three (3) blog posts that comprise the entirety of your "irony."

why is that relevant?
