The Washington Post: If Propaganda is to be believed, it should be repeated.
PHOTOS: The Washington Post in pictures
Yesterday, in both an interview on "Fox & Friends" and an article on the Fox News website, Fox News featured critical commentary about Pima County Sheriff's remarks about the vitriol in our society - vitriol that, as he stated, is promulgated by the media.

Obviously needing to deflect and divert from the appropriate substance of Dupnik's comments, Fox is maintaining its seeming scapegoating of the sheriff. Today's headline (first under the ...
Legends of Law Enforcement: Sheriff Clarence L. Dupnik

Dupnik was the first to identify the infamous Serial Killer 'Jack the Ripper' as an ancestor of William F. Buckley.

Dupnik also believes that Charles Manson was wrongfully imprisoned for the "Redrum" murders of Sharon Tate and others. The sheriff as...

The Media Has Declared... WAR!
Newsrooms and Hospitals have one major thing in common: the "hush" is the loudest thing anyone ever hears. The "hush" is the moment when normal activity stops cold for an announcement of major events that will entirely reshape any usual activity. While both newsrooms and Hospitals stop on that kind of news -- and then, following it, race into a whirlwind of overdrive -- the similarities end there.
Hospitals gird for the incoming and the flood of bad news to follow; most news...
Arizona Newspaper To Sheriff Dupnik: "Get a grip! we have to say at last . . . enough. Enough attacks, sheriff. Enough vitriol "
Pima County Sheriff should remember duty
The Arizona Republic
On Saturday afternoon, with his friend Gabby Giffords in surgery fighting for her life, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik railed against the tense partisan politics - “the anger, the hatred, the Bigotry” - that prompted the mass Murders outside Tucson, in his view.
And, jarring as such claims may be, we understood. Or tried to understand, despite the spectacle of a lawman - an official whose very job it is to d

‘We don’t understand why this happened,’ parents say
By Dana Hedgpeth and David A. Fahrenthold
Wednesday, January 12, 2011; A01
TUCSON - Three days after their son allegedly killed six people and left a congresswoman critically wounded, Jared Lee Loughner’s parents issued their first public comments Tuesday night, saying that they, too, cannot comprehend what had motivated the shootings.
"There are no words that c...
ENOUGH OF THE APPALLING JACKASSERY Sheriff Dupnik Must Resign
Since he first opened his mouth on Saturday night to address the nation about the terrible shootings at a Tucson Safeway, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has been inaccurate, wrong, or completely biased in his handling of the case. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik must resign. Never have we witnessed a prominent public figure inaccurately and viciously politicize a national tragedy like Sheriff Dupnik. And in all of his statements he has either been wrong or misdirected. This bitter partisan must go. It’s ...

Beck Claims Politicians Are "Pushing" To Ban Guns Following AZ Shooting
Beck: Lawmakers Are Pushing "A Ban On Guns." On his Fox News show, Beck claimed that lawmakers are pushing "a ban on guns" in response to the Arizona shooting. Beck stated:
BECK: It didn't take long for Washington to come out with their solution to the problem of the alleged violent Rhetoric. The solution, however, comes despite not having a shred of evidence that this crazed gunman was motivated by anything other than his...
Cynicism, Willful Ignorance and Malice
Charles Krauthammer, a board certified psychologist, talked to Bill O’Reilly about Jared Loughner who Krauthammer believes is a paranoid schizophrenic. Krauthammer said Loughner has all the signs, and basically lives in his own mind - a dream world. He also said there is no evidence that Sarah Palin or anyone on the right had anything to do with Loughner’s Mental Illness or the Tuscon shooting. He believes the debate we should be having is what to do with the mentally ill. Li...

Hasselbeck agreed with the Arizona sheriff that words do matter, but just disagreed as to which words are the problem. She believed Dupnik’s continued talk ...
Loughner Parents: Sorry About Those Murders (ignore that skull in the back yard??)
These parents have a LOT of explaining to do. “Sorry” isn’t going to be enough. The family of Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner handed out a written statement to reporters standing in front of their home late Tuesday afternoon. This is a very difficult time for us. We ask the media to respect our Privacy. There are no words that can possibly express how we feel. We wish that there were, so we could make you feel better. We don’t understand why this ...
A Fool With a Badge is Still a Fool
Michael Reagan, FloydReports.com
When a would-be assassin shot my Dad, President Ronald Reagan, nobody questioned the fact that the shooter was certifiably nuts.
Authorities recognized that fact and put him in a mental institution as his obvious disturbed mental state demanded.
Now we have another attempted killing of a public official, Arizona’s widely admired Rep. Gabby Giffords, and just about everybody recognizes the fact that the shooter, one Jared Loughner, is crazy as a loon.

The worst sheriff in America
In the ignominious tradition of camera-hogging Police Chief Charles Moose (remember him?), Pima County (AZ) Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has become America’s new worst celebrity lawman.

We now learn: “The police were sent to the home where Jared L. Loughner lived with his family on more than one occasion be...
Despite Denials, Blackwater Still Working for U.S.

Reports that Blackwater is out of the governments private-security game have been greatly exaggerated.

Yesterday the Court issued two decisions, including Justice Kagan’s first decision as a Justice, and heard oral argument in two cases. The former attracted much more attention than the latter.

WILL PARTISAN BICKERING SEND A CRAZY MAN TO THE CHAIR?
Lefties have been looking for ties between Jared Loughner's state of mind and recent expressions of right-wing rage; the right, in response to this, has lashed out, aggressively attacking commentators and others -- including Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik -- who've criticized the right.
And now along comes Limbaugh. The soundbite from Rush Limbaugh's Tuesday Radio Show that's Friend: Shooting suspect embraced chaos
TUCSON, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- The suspect in the weekend rampage at a political event in Tucson, Ariz., was a skilled marksman and "loves causing chaos," a friend said. Jared Lee Loughner, 22, of Tucson faces federal charges in Saturday's shooting, in which Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was critically injured and U.S. District Judge John Roll, his law clerk Matthew Bowman and Giffords' Staffer Gabriel Zimmerman were among the dead. Six people died and 14 were injured. "He was a nihilist and loves causing c...
Kurt Klukowski: Put blame where it belongs in Tucson tragedy
Now in the wake of the tragedy that left the Arizona Democrat gravely wounded and six others dead - including a Federal Judge, a congressional Staffer, a nine year-old girl, and an elderly gentleman who shielded his wife with his body, sacrificing his own life - the Far Left can’t restrain itself from intruding upon Tucson’s grief. Banning guns and silencing dissent is not the solution, and Conservatives are not to blame. It started with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a D...

Islamabad (Reuters) – Vice President Joe Biden will pressure Pakistan to intensify its crackdown on Militants in talks on Wednesday with Pakistan's leadership, but will tread carefully to avoid further straining ties.

Democrats denounced the rhetoric, Republicans denounced the violence
My weekly column in the Charleston Daily Mail:
Saturday’s snow in Poca was a reminder of why I like December snow but hate snow in January and February. The novelty has worn off.
That afternoon, I drove into the cold to fill the tank of my wife’s car.
Coming back, I could not make it up the hill, so I parked the car and walked home.
“You know all those dumb things I have done over the years?” I asked my wife when I made it home. “Well, you can add this to the list...
How Obama can talk about tolerance without trivializing tragedy (Exclusive to Yahoo! News)
By John Dickerson
Slate.com
For the second time in his tenure, President Obama will eulogize the Victims of a shooting. In November 2009—it now seems another era—he gave a small masterpiece of a Speech in honor of the 13 people killed when Army Maj. Nidal Hasan allegedly opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas. When Obama speaks Wednesday night in Tucson, he will of course memorialize those killed and wounded when Jared Lee Loughner allegedly opened fire. He is at his best telling stories.
But O...

Jared Loughner's Father Pursued Son Before Shooting
TUCSON, Ariz. — Mysterious black bag in hand, Jared Loughner ran into the desert, his angry father stopping pursuit in his truck.
Hours after Randy Loughner's futile confrontation with his 22-year-old son Saturday morning, six people were shot dead and more than a dozen others wounded – and Jared Loughner was in custody.
