"Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills." –Tom DeLay, on causes of the Columbine High School massacre

Rick Warren is stupid, so he didn't know how stupid this was when he tweeted it.

But he learned it was stupid by reading people's reaction to it, and so he was smart enough to delete it:

On Friday, July 20th 2012 at exactly 2:09 P.M. Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church tweeted:

“When students are taught they are no different from animals, they act like it.”

This was obviously in reference to the recent mass-shooting at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater. This Examiner reported on the story with a screen capture of Pastor Warren’s Tweet. Just two days after the Tweet was made it was deleted presumably by Warren.

But he was not smart enough to delete it from Facebook:

In Warren’s haste, he failed to delete the Tweet from his Facebook page. A screen capture of that status update is above. It clearly shows that Rick Warren did indeed Tweet that message and instead of issuing an apology to scientists, secularists, and atheists, Warren seems to be trying to pretend that it never happened by deleting the Tweet.

2. It is better to be thought a fool than to tweet and remove all doubt

3. Some of us tried to tell the President and this Party that Warren is a disgusting hate monger

drenched in ignorance, and for that we were called every name in the book and Warren was defended all through his libel of gay people and right through his honoring at the Inauguration. Just one little prayer, so many DUers said. And here it is, this is what they defended, trashy hate.
And rumor has it Warren is going to yet again host a 'Presidential Forum' with Obama and Willard this year. And all the excuses will be repeated.
