Arizona Sheriff Blasts Rush Limbaugh for Spewing 'Irresponsible' Vitriol (Keep It Up Sheriff!)

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," Pima 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."

[bikerman]

Another idiot who has never listened to Rush but ready to criticize him. Keep pointing fingers clown, the one to blame is the cold blooded killer no one else.

[Libloather]

The idiot went on Olberdork last night and had no facts because he had been tied up with the media all day. Doesn't sound like he's been on the job very much

Someone on Fox News just suggested a gag order on the goof because he maybe tainting the jury pool.

[The Raven]

George Will:

“.. This McCarthyism of the left—devoid of intellectual content, unsupported by data—is a mental tic, not an idea but a tactic for avoiding engagement with ideas. It expresses limitless contempt for the American people, who have reciprocated by reducing liberalism to its current characteristics of electoral weakness and bad sociology”

[Vaquero]

I suppose he knows his local electorate....what is he running for next?

[tobyhill]

“Dupnik said he had been advised not to discuss Loughner’s mental condition or his home life, but said, “I can tell you this is a somewhat dysfunctional family.”

Was this before or after he already discussed Loughner’s mental condition?

[Past Your Eyes]

Dupnik must be some Eastern European language’s word for “blithering idiot”.

[DeaconRed]

I had my super dooper radio on and my tin foil hat. I heard Rush tell the idiot to shoot the congresman. He also told him where to buy a 20 round clip.
I called the FBI and gave them a copy of the tape.

Anybody that believes this I have a good deal on a bridge in Brooklyn.

|The LEFT can't stand it that he was more Left than Right.
The truth NEVER stopped them before and won't stop them now.

[Rummyfan]

An idiot and an embarassment to the State of Arizona and the United States of America. Sheriff, why don’t you do your damn job?

[irgbar-man]

Tainting? He’s pooping in the jury pool! It’s the OJ trial all over again. Enjoy your 15 minutes, Sheriff.

[Doogle]

..."all this clown sheriff has to do to get me to go postal is start hammering a Tamborine"

[Islander7]

"The vitriol affects the [unstable] personality that we are talking about," he said, speaking of himself

This guy is in deep doo doo and he knows it! Deflect, deflect, lie, lie, misdirect, he is a classic lefty hack. He already admitted on the air that the shooter had made threats. He did nothing to address it. The blood is on his hands and his knows it.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Even super-duper-liberal Ellen Ratner had it right on FOX News this morning. Her words to those who try to link the shooting with politics? “Get a life.”

[AmericanMermaid]

Because in his mind, he’d rather make those interviews about HIMSELF rather than focus on the facts and the victims rather than do what he’s paid to do by the taxpayers. What kind of justice deals with opinion rather than facts?

[TNCMAXQ]

He went on the Olberman show? Seriously?? There is no greater sign of wanting to politicize this tragedy than that. His opponents really should use that against him when he comes up for reelection.

So Rush’s talk is incendiary but 0bama’s is not? Nor is anything coming from the left? What a moron. When I read the comments about a federal “commission on civility” I almost had a stroke. With this crowd in power now who knows what they would allow us to say or not say. Unreal.

[raybbr]

How does a man eviscerated as badly as Limbaugh eviscerated Dupnik have the gall to get up and defend himself? Dupnik’s clearly working way “above his pay grade”.

[Libloather]

[Savage Beast]

It’s stunning how Leftists see everything through the same two-dimensional, black-and-white filter—and how they are determined to force everyone else to view everything in the same, simplistic, limited, and untruthful way.

[Madame Dufarge]

How about a commission to deal with colossally stupid public officials?

Dupnik said he'd like to see the federal government establish some kind of commission to deal with civility in the United States and make recommendations about how to get it back.

[Twinkie]

The current President of the United States is a champ when it comes to angry rhetoric against ANYONE that crosses him. “They bring a knife to a fight; WE bring a gun!” and other statements referring to some U.S. citizens as “enemies” that need to be “punished”. . and on and on . .

[Michael Barnes]

Should put that out on urban dictionary.

[syriacus]

The sheriff should get off his soapbox and back to the job that the people of Arizona are paying him to do .... protecting them.

[tobyhill]

The higher he keeps putting himself up on the pedestal the farther it is he's going to fall when we get confirmation he knew all about this suspect.

[Past Your Eyes]

Sort of like Stivik = Meathead?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Arizona Sheriff is guest on "news" show that specializes in spewing 'irresponsible' vitriol to spew 'irresponsible' vitriol by accusing Rush Limbaugh of spewing 'irresponsible' vitriol!

In other news, General Motors blames Arizona shooting on Toyota and Ford!

[autumnraine]

Tainting the jury pool!! He’s giving this nutbag a defense that most lawyers dream of!

[exDemMom]

Dupnik said he'd like to see the federal government establish some kind of commission to deal with civility in the United States and make recommendations about how to get it back.

He could start with the mirror. Once he establishes civility there, then he can start in on the politicians he supports.

I wonder how the leftist belief that criminals don't act because of personal decisions, but because of vague societal factors can survive even the first year of a law enforcement career. Yet that sheriff seems to be clinging to that belief (he must be bitter).

[yldstrk]

Sheriff is quite full of himself

[CaspersGh0sts]

That little number by Will is a zinger if I’d ever heard of one. And a “mental tic”—that so profoundly encapsulates so much of what you see from the left so simply. Very well done.

[caver]

How does some idiot like this get to be a Sheriff? Oh yea, I remember, the voters put him there. Says a lot about Tucson.

[tobyhill]

That’s very interesting. Maybe the sheriff close enough to the family that he’s purposely giving the suspect a mental illness defense?

[snuffy smiff]

This clown belongs in the very jail he isn’t competent enough to run...

[snuffy smiff]

P.S. saw a ‘net rumor a few minutes ago claiming the shooter is his grandson...

what a tangled web if true....

[Mouton]

The higher the circus monkey climbs the pole, the more you see his ass.

[eCSMaster]

“Dupnik must be some Eastern European language’s word for “blithering idiot”.”

“Dupnik” - a descendant or a member of the family of “Dupa.”

[TPOOH]

"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. "

And here we have the sheriff spewing ignorant and "irresponsible" vitriol. Priceless.

[LibLieSlayer]

Rush will cut his balls off today... you can bet this commie fag sheriff will get a letter from F. Lee Levin... get ready commie... the world is going to crush your tiny balls.

LLS

[catfish1957]

More is coming out about how much this so called Sheriff knew about the troubling history of this kid. He may be more culpable that he realizes, and spewed off the mouth to try to cover his tracks.

[snuffy smiff]

I seriuosly doubt this guy ever had any balls. It’s why he’s a liberal...

[niteowl77]

[Democrat_media]

This sheriff idiot is a typical democrat. It actually literally blamed Palin for this. Typical democrat/marxist tactics.

[1_Rain_Drop]

"Dupnik must be some Eastern European language’s word for “blithering idiot”."

more like an a$$, but not related to a donkey.

I was talking about the sheriff with a friend and she kept on asking me what was his name. She wouldn't believe it was dupnik. She thought I was goofing with his name. Told her if I was, I'd be calling him dupa.

[publana]

If it comes out that the boy never received treatment (hospitalization to stabilize him), this sheriff and anyone else covering for the family are just as culpable as if they had pulled the trigger themselves, imo.

[RonDog]

Rush will cut his balls off today...

:o)

Today would be a GREAT day to take a call from Governor Palin...

...to dominate the news cycle, prior to Bambi's coming to town...

...and stay "inside his OODA loop."

[bushpilot1]

can you look this one pls.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Sheriff, remember the First Law of Holes. You’re in over your head, and it’s entirely your own doing.

[PreciousLiberty]

"[Limbaugh] attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences."

Right, because we should all just love our wonderful government that's doing such a great job for us, while relentlessly defending our national values.

I'm sure this moron voiced this kind of opinion all the time when the Left was relentlessly attacking Bush and as much as advocating his assassination.

Michelle Malkin just did a great article on the Left advocating violence.

[Dick Vomer]

reminds me of this guy after Katrina....same thing. An incompetent, low IQ, bureaucrat that has risen to his level of incompetence the old fashion way..... he's a democrat, knee pad wearing douchetard.
