First Check The Facts before reporting the Worst ...

The Jawa Report: Down the Memory Hole...:
"the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, while tragic, was not 'the worst mass murder in U.S. history.' It wasn't the 'second worst mass murder in U.S. history,' or even the third, or the fourth.

The 9/11 attacks (2,998 deaths), the Oklahoma City bombing (168 deaths), the HappyLand arson (87 deaths) and the Bath, Michigan bombing (45 deaths) all claimed more victims than the Virginia Tech shootings (32 deaths).

But, as Vinnie noted yesterday, those events don't fit neatly into the anti-gun political agenda, so they need to go down the memory hole,"
