The Washington Post: If Propaganda is to be believed, it should be repeated.

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
In this episode of Legends of Law Enforcement, we celebrate the legendary and storied career of Pima County Sheriff Clarence L. Dupnik. Dupnik was the first to identify the infamous Serial Killer ‘Jack the Ripper’ as an ancestor of William F. Buckley. “America’s Sheriff” states that Jimmy Hoffa, possibly buried at the Meadowlands, was “whacked” by Barry Goldwater. Dupnik also believes that Charles Manson was wrongfully imprisoned for the “Redrum...
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
Loughner In 2007: Die Bitch, Die Cops

‘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...
Did Sheriff Dupnik drop the ball with Jared Loughner?
Pima County Sheriff Dupnik has been in the news a lot lately. He is one of the most outspoken liberals in Pima County and has seized this tragedy to attack Rush Limbaugh and anyone to the right of his liberal views. Is this a smokescreen to cover his butt? It has been previously reported that death threats by Jared Loughner had been repeatably reported to Sheriff Dupnik's office. Now we learn the Sheriff's department had been dispatched several times to the home where Jared L. Loughner lived wit...
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 ...
More Bad News For MSM & Dupnik Police Were Sent to Loughners Home Several Times
It’s Rush Limbaugh’s fault. The further we get away from the tragedy the more we are putting together a picture of a very disturbed young man. After four days of blaming Conservatives for the Violent Crime of the young leftwing pothead, the media is finally getting around to reporting the facts to the case. This had nothing to do with Sarah Palin, or Rush Limbaugh, or the Tea Party, or conservatives. The police were sent to the home where Jared L. Loughner lived with his family on mo...

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 Tells OReilly: Sheriff Dupnik Is Creating A More Dangerous Country
One of The View co-hosts, Elizabeth Hasselbeck , stopped by The Factor and told Bill O’Reilly she wasn’t happy about Sheriff Dupnik continuing to blame right-wing Rhetoric for the Arizona shooting. She also revealed despite being the only conservative voice on The View, she doesn’t feel like she’s ganged up on.
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 ...
The Right Word: Fox and inflammatory rhetoric | Sadhbh Walshe
Rightwing talkshow hosts were horrified by the Arizona massacre - and by the allegations that their fiery Rhetoric may have somehow influenced the shooter. O'Reilly is convinced that the attack was simply the work of an out-of-control "nut job" and was furious with others in the media for suggesting that anyone on the right was in any way responsible for fostering a hostile political environment (View clip here). "The killer Jared Loughner is a psychopath. Civilisation has always had them ...
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 ...

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. While he cuddles up to MSNBC’s entire Tea Party-bashing line-up, more facts about Tucson massacre suspect Jared Loughner’s encounters with Law Enforcement are coming out. We now learn: “The police were sent to the home where Jared L. Loughner lived with his family on more than one occasion be...
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.

Despite Denials, Blackwater Still Working for U.S.
Source: WIRED News
Reports that Blackwater is out of the governments private-security game have been greatly exaggerated. A consigliere to the companys new owners tells Danger Room that not only does the Controversial firm still hold security contracts with the State Department, it has every intention of seeking more.
In October, Danger Room reported that U.S. Training Center, a division of the renamed Xe Services, had won part of States $10-billion Worldwide Protective Service
Wednesday round-up
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. In a tax case decided yesterday, Mayo Foundation v. United States, the Court (in an opinion by the Chief Justice, with Justice Kagan recused) unanimously upheld a Treasury Department rule that treats medical residents as full-time employees rather than Students, thereby subjecting them to Payroll Tax...
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...

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.

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.

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 Biden arrives in Pakistan for talks (Reuters)
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.
Biden arrived in Islamabad after two days in Kabul, where he said on Tuesday that Pakistan needed to do more to help the United States in its battle against Taliban and other Militants in Afghanistan as it prepares to withdraw its Troops from there.
