UMass grad student: Tillman's not a hero (NOT the same article that has been posted already)

ESPN online ^ | 4/29

[L.N. Smithee]

The column drew harsh criticism from many on campus. University president Jack Wilson says the op-ed piece was "disgusting, arrogant and intellectually immature."

And yet, he's a grad student in your institution, President Wilson. Imagine that.

[L.N. Smithee]

Please. He'll have offers waiting for him from the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Nation, Mother Jones, etc. etc.

Michael Moore will probably quote the schmuck on his website. Mark my words.

If Air America lasts long enough, he's probably got a gig waiting for him.

Story indicated he was from Puerto Rico, but definitely not the type of citizen I want around.

I think this is the "pretty boy". click here.

Please. He'll have offers waiting for him from the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Nation, Mother Jones, etc. etc.

The Kerry campaign will be calling him soon. But they'll have to move fast or the Kennedy campaign will grab him up first.

[tongue-tied]

like say...some bikers?

LOL

[cyborg]

Wonder if he thinks the same sickening nastiness about the Puerto Rican war dead (there are more than a few). What a nasty,nasty human being.

You can always visit Rene's webpage: Why doesn't everyone say hello?

From his website, under reconstruction:

It's actually pretty sad, but the old page was just not comprehensive enough. It had started as my first web venture and it had a mixture of really simple stuff to Java animations. I felt that the year 2000 should inaugurate (did I spell that right?) a new page: RENE'S REALM!

---

Yep, still under construction after three years plus. What a genius (did I spell that right? It's not like there's a dictionary in a university or on the internet).

That would indeed be an interesting question to ask him. I'm at work, no time do research for any names to ask him about.

[skeeter]

I can see why jocks would upset him.

UMass president rips student column on Tillman

[Bikers4Bush]

Stupid and ugly, what a way to go through life.

[Bikers4Bush]

God willing, it would certainly not surprise me.

[SGCOS]

There's a reason they're call massholes.

[Aquinasfan]

Typical UMass agitprop. Parents who send their children to UMass are guilty of child abuse, or young adult abuse anyway.

Lots of moveon.org riffraff websites to wade through when I type in iraq war,etc. so I gave up and picked one website *LOL* This POS should know Puerto Ricans have a LONG history of serving the US military.

As a former student of U/Mass., I am especially offended by this article. A couple of years ago my son who was a member of the Minuteman Battalion at U/Mass (though not a student there) told me about a flag burning incident at one of the other nearby colleges. I forget which one, but it was Smith or Amherst, simply cannot recall.

These so called students certainly have a lot to learn. The irony of someone posting such offensive material with impunity is something that will unfortunately never be really considered, until time will likely make it a moot point.

I almost would like to feel sympathy for this pathetic character who would claim to espouse such vitriolic sentiments. Almost but not quite. A pox upon you you scum and your supporters who pretend to be in possesion of an intellect and a worthwhile opinion.

You write your garbage with impunity only because of the likes of brave heros such as Pat Tillman, and the greatness of our society.

Imagine yourself and your pen in one of the sheiteholes of the world that you claim to support in their terrorist (and/or support of terrorists) war against us all, yourself included. Perhaps your name (reborn) would (God willing) have you reborn in such a place, and then you might perceive just how ignorant and irrelevant you truly have demonstrated yourself to be. I can only wish.

I despise you Rene Gonzalez for iring me as you have done while under the cloak of freedom that I, my father before me, and my son now, have sworn to protect. You are a puke.

Well as a Maryland fan I can only feel fortunate that Gary Williams nor Fridge schedule Umass.

I don't I could resist the temptation to roadtrip on Mr. Gonzalez.
