cause it sure sounds like it.

says what I have been hearing for the past two years–that those of us who disagree with him or this administration (those who don’t want better for the country according to him) are traitors and likely to incite delusional people to commit crimes.

What a shameless hack.

the bully pulpit as the incumbent…I think this will give his challenger ample material to put him down the next time around, as long as the potential challenger is a viable (i.e. not corrupt and an upstanding citizen) candidate. There was a load of dirt thrown on both sides that muddied the issues; won’t be a problem next election, I suspect.

Is Sheriff Dupnck one of Barney Fife’s relatives? Come on, you can tell me. I can handle it, really!

The sheriff said it would be irresponsible …not to try to put a stop to it…..(what he deems inflammatory rhetoric) , and that free speech is free speech but it is ….not without consequences. Apparently he took Obama’s admonition for people to “not do too much talking” as a law that needed to be enforced.

Instead, he blamed Limbaugh and the Chinese.

She is so good at tearing people up. Wish she would do it more. And do these libs have any shame.

he has no evidence (yet) that “fiery rhetoric” motivated Loughner, yet he sticks to the meme anyway. Yeah, this guy needs to be voted out, for the good of Pima County. It makes me afraid he will do his best to “make sure” such evidence exists.

I will love to see the guy lose, but if Giffords is healthy enough to run for reelection she will generate a lot of sympathy vote with can benefit the sheriff.

NBC news tonight (January 9th) at 6:30 E.S.T. carried his comment on “radical” political views being a cause of the lunatic’s shooting spree.

A lunatic needs nothing but the voices in his head to set him off.

NBC continued to intersplice Dupnik’s comment with a scene from a “tea partier” shouting at a politician at a town-hall meeting. Note how that becomes equivalent to a lunatic spraying a crowd with bullets.

Then it described the lunatic as influenced by “far-right-wing” philosophy, probably a reference to “Mein Kampf” being listed by the lunatic: no mention of course that MARX was on his list as well!!!

Lunatics are not consistent, because they are lunatics: only moron media people make them seem logical and would describe them with a rational set of dominoes falling according to sensible laws.

But then, the truth is irrelevant when you are trying to sell a political lie.

…I’ve seen Megyn Kelly put a noose around someone’s neck without them even realiizng they are being hanged. She was quite skillful in making the sheriff look like an idiot. Of course, he was a pretty easy target.

That he just had opinions. It was beautiful!

strikes again. The extent to which elements of the left will go to blame everyone but the person actually holding the gun is astounding.

he sad that “one party is blocking another party that is trying to make this a better country”. This guy is a nut and should not be a Sheriff. Does he even send his cops when Republicans call 911?

Regardless of his political views, I’m shocked that a law enforcement officer would discuss details of the investigation (like the contents of the letter) given that this IS an ongoing investigation.

looked to my son and said “good God he is blaming the Chinese money conspiracy crap again”.

How absolutely INSANE are these Democrats to think for one moment the Chinese Government would want strong NeoCon Conservatives running the Government of the United States of America? I mean seriously, they love how weak on National Defense we are under the Democrats/.

and he is going after Palin and Angle! Someone should link his comments with all of the elected officials (Clyburn and others come to mind) that have gone on the record supporting this nut. Someone can make a mint scripting 2012 political ads!

The Star, Tucson’s only mainstream newspaper, is strongly Democratic. It wouldn’t surprise me if it gives Dupnik kid glove treatment here.

Sure, he’s as crazy as a bed bug, but Tucson is an enclave of liberals in AZ. I have already heard from people I know that agree with his stance on the the “rhetoric” being the inciting event.

Like Arpaio in Maricopa County, Dupnik is safe in Pima County.

….”symbols” to be the subject of legislation proposed by a PA Democrat, according to Politico, That is “perceived” threatening language and ‘symbols’. This in addition to the customary “gun control” legislation to be offered by Carolyn McCarthy, et al.

“When people, allegedly credible people who get up in front of cameras and microphones and say things that are not true and try to inflame the public…”

Oh. You mean like a County Sheriff at a press conference, speculating about things he doesn’t know are true, but presenting opinions as though they were fact, casting aspersions anyway?

songs, not the vitriol on the radio and tv, made him go out and gun down those people. Oh wait, that’s already been tried to excuse personal accountability. Just another example of behavior that has to be justified, heaven forbid this nut should be accountable for his own actions.

A point my wife brought up after watching sheriff/commentator/political pundit, “He’s making the defense lawyers’ job much easier”.

Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this horrific act.

Corporations with bases in other countries however can make political donations now to US political campaigns.

As a resident of Tucson, I will continue to vote for Sheriff Dupnik as long as he continues to want the position.

when the left was calling Bush Hitler and chanting “Bush Lied People Died”?

Ok let me get this straight you political hack…we the law abiding people have to silence our free speech because it may upset some demon processed leftist ….
I will keep silent when we throw all you leftist out of office….oh by the way nice talking points from the demoncraps, did you get them directly from the bamster…how much did you get paid to say all their talking points…don’t you feel proud of your self you hack

The America he grew up in “politicians forgot about their idealogies and worked together to do what is right for the country”

Now “there is one party that tries to block the attempts of the other party to make this a better country”

Just wondering how dumb this guy is…..

who has to prosecute this case must be ready to take Sheriff Dupnik to the woodshed. As our colleague, pragmatic pointed out above, the defense is getting a great deal of help from this law enforcement officer’s obvious philosophical bias.

It is NOT the duty of a Sheriff to speculate as to motive. The investigation should be focused on gathering facts and let the D.A. work on demonstrating motive.

The trial of Jared Loughner is now in jeopardy, thanks to this foolish Sheriff.

Megyn has remained a broadcast journalist. With her looks and subtle thespian talents, she could have been an Oscar-winning actress. The stuttering, obsequious introduction, the “dumb blond” enticement and deference . . . then “Ka-BOOM” – the trap is sprung. That was masterful.

He really smeared the whole state of AZ, and it’s incredibly unprofessional for someone in law enforcement to run to a podium in a tragedy like this to make political points.

My real fear is the MSM will get a huge boost to their narrative because of people like Dupnik.

Let’s not forget that many people still think a John Bircher right-winger killed JFK (even though it was actually a Communist)

Not one of these journalists even asked the Sheriff, if any of his officers were at the event to PROTECT and SERVE the public. Every town hall that I’ve been to locally, there has been more than one officer present, even if the representative didn’t request the help. Where were the Sheriff’s deputies? At the donut shop? Obviously, this Sheriff felt that a sitting member of Congress and a Federal Judge were safe and didn’t need him to PROTECT and SERVE.
