You knew it was coming, didn't you? The lefties are coming out in droves now, probably we'll have anti-gun nuts all over now.Jan. 10, 2011
The Arizona sheriff investigating the Tucson shooting
that left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically
wounded had harsh words today for those engaging
in political rhetoric, calling conservative radio host
Rush Limbaugh "irresponsible" for continuing the
vitriol.
"The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush
Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses
partial information, sometimes wrong information," P
ima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said today.
"[Limbaugh] attacks people, angers them against
government, angers them against elected officials and
that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without
consequences."
Limbaugh today railed against the media and Dupnik
for trying to draw a link between the heated political
climate and the shooting rampage, calling the sheriff
a "fool." But Dupnik stood by his assertions.
"The vitriol affects the [unstable] personality that we
are talking about," he said. "You can say, 'Oh no, it
doesn't,' but my opinion is that it does."

It's best that his friends won't defend him.

Well, at least he's leaving it at blaming the Rush's of the right, not the entire right, as was discussed in another thread.
Kudos for the Sheriff. Most people wouldn't have the balls to take on Rush Lardass for his partisan vitriol. It's about time someone did. I don't care how many people say "he's just an entertainer." Many people take what he says seriously which can be scary.
I really think the article should mention the sheriff's political association. He is a democrat. Whether that matters should be up to the individual reading the article. Instead, the reporter made that decision for all, and left the impression that there may not have been a political motivation to him blasting republicans. BTW, the shooter has now been identifed to be an indpendent - he was not a republican.
The seven-term sheriff and Bisbee native is well known in Arizona for speaking his mind and has established himself as one of the leading liberal voices in a state that boasts only a handful.
Dupnik, 73, supported Giffords during her campaigns for congress and attracted headlines last spring as one of the most prominent opponents of the state’s controversial immigration law, S.B. 1070, which was signed by GOP Gov. Jan Brewer. Though the policy has been blocked from implementation by a federal court order, Dupnik vowed that he wouldn’t enforce the “racist” law.
You've got to be kidding me! After this jerk of a sheriff comes immediately out blaming the tea party with not one fact he has the nerve to say this!

some uber left blogs and some politicians are seeing what will stick.
You're kidding right? Al Sharpton is trying to get him off the air as we speak. He didn't like Rush's funny joke about Driving Miss Nancy.
Someone is always "taking him on." Just because they always lose doesn't mean they don't try.

It's like the high tide report... happens every day.
Poor Rush. Again, he has become a victim to the media or the democrats, or to sane people who question the methods used by pundits on both sides who question the crap he preaches. Oberman and Rush need to be hung by the gonads for using this event to incite wing-nuts to their dimwitted causes.
Don't worry, Rush will get the support and sympathy from wingnuts that he hoped to get this morning when he got on the air.
Where di he blame the Tea Party? I skimmed the article, but I did not see that.
