Rush Limbaugh: Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik continued his attacks on Conservatives by suggesting that he has “no doubt” that “Talk Radio had to do” with the Tucson shooting.
PHOTOS: Rush Limbaugh in pictures
Dupnik couldn’t be more wrong, and I suspect his comments are motivated more by a desire to silence political opponents than anything else, but even so Rush Limbaugh isn’t helping his own cause much with comments like these: “What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major...

Partisan Finger-Pointing Is Hypocrisy
The drumbeat continues blaming Conservatives exclusively (or at least disproportionately) for overheated, violent Rhetoric. But it is not that simple. In fact, some of the exact same people now posturing about a need for “civility” have themselves been guilty of the exact same overheated, violent rhetoric that they now (with no evidence) think is responsible for the Tucson attacks.
The fact is that we have a general problem with abusive, dehumanizing political Rhetoric. It didn
Sheriff Dupnik faces reelection bid August 28, 2012

Sheriff Dupnik aides Loughner defense
Pima County Sheriff Dupnik, responsible for opening the investigation of Jared Loughner, has gone on record presenting legally viable evidence that Loughner was incited to commit mass Murder by hateful, violent Right-wing images and Rhetoric. He bases this claim on the fact that an altar to Satan was found in the defendant’s backyard and everyone knows that the Right-wingers are all Satanists. We know because the Left would never demonize anyone on the Right just for disagreeing with...
Happy 60th Birthday Rush Limbaugh!
One of my favorite, most surreal phone calls ever was from my friend Abbey in Cleveland back in October 2008. I answered the phone and heard Abbey, in shock, try to explain to me how she thought she’d driven her car through some tear in the fabric of reality, careening into a BizarroWorld where up was down, cats chased dogs, and rain was never wet. “Rush Limbaugh is on the radio right now. He’s talking about you. He’s reading things you’ve written. ...
Was the 18th century a 'climate of hate'?
In the aftermath of the Tucson tragedy that killed six and wounded 14 others, the Left has attacked Talk Radio, Fox News, Sarah Palin and anyone else it can smear. Never mind there is not a shred of evidence that the accused gunman, the mentally disturbed Jared Lee Loughner, ever watched Glenn Beck or listened to Rush Limbaugh (Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a Democrat, irresponsibly suggested Limbaugh incited Loughner). Even if Loughner had watched and listened to conservative media, wha...
Gregory Kane: Sheriff Dupnik shoots before aiming
It wasn't long after the Tucson, Ariz., shootings before Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik went into full blowhard mode about who was responsible for the massacre. A hint: it's not suspect Jared Lee Loughner. According to a story on the Web site www.CNN.com, Dupnik "used a nationally televised Press Conference to condemn the tone of political discourse in his state." Oh, this gets better. Here's a direct quote from Dupnik, taken from the www.CNN.com story: "We need to do some soul-searching. ...
Loughner Friend: 'He Did Not Watch TV' or 'Listen to Political Radio'
It's become clear since Saturday that some in the media are determined to blame outspoken Conservatives for the Tucson massacre. So there's really no reason to believe that yet another fact contradicting that attack will put it to rest. But in the spirit of journalism - that thing the left's media attack dogs profess their reverence for - it should be noted: a friend of the killer, Jared Lee Loughner, told "Good Morning America" that Loughner "did not watch TV. He disl...
THE LEFT IS TRYING TO MAKE LOUGHNER THE VICTIM: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS RUSH LIMBAUGH AND WEASEL ZIPPERS BY A DAY
TODAY, WEASEL ZIPPERS POSTED SOME WISE WORDS FROM RUSH
LIMBAUGH:
What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He’s sitting there in jail. He knows what’s going on, he knows that . . . the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he’s just a Victim. He’s the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America . WE MADE THIS OBSERVATION

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 Police: Loughner once drunk at school
Tucson, Ariz. – Shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner was arrested for arriving drunk to school in 2006, according to records released Wednesday by the Pima County Sheriff.
The sheriff’s office released case reports related to all of the contacts the department had with Loughner before Saturday, when he is accused of opening fire in a North Tucson Safeway, killing six and wounding 13, among them Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Wednesday's intriguing people
Mary Reed's 17-year-old daughter, Emma, was a congressional page last summer for Gabrielle Giffords but never got a picture with her. So Reed and her daughter went to the constituent event at a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday, hoping for a photo opportunity. Suddenly, gunfire broke out, and Reed was struck in the left arm. She pinned Emma to a wall to protect her and then took two more bullets in her right arm and back. "He was literally going to have to go through me, and that...
Enough AlreadyIt Is Time for Sheriff Dupnik to Go
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, deceptive, and completely biased in his handling of the case.
Sheriff Clarence Dupnik must resign.
Never have we witnessed a prominent public figure so inaccurately and viciously politicize a national tragedy like Sheriff Dupnik did this week. And in all of his statements he has either been wrong or misdirected. This bitter part...
AZ sheriff knew in advance about Loughner
Even as Arizona Sheriff Clarence Dupnik launched into yet another rampage against Rush Limbaugh yesterday, new information has emerged showing that the sheriff knew in advance about Jared Lee Loughner and the danger he posed. According to a special report, Pima County Sheriff's Office records indicate that deputies had been called numerous times to the Loughner residence to address complaints by neighbors and others who were clearly frightened by Jared Loughner's growing anti-social, psych...
The Left Attacks Sarah Palins Use of Blood Libel; Liberal Alan Dershowitz Says Nothing Improper About It Video 1/12/11
The Left is now attacking Sarah Palin for her use of the term “blood Libel” to describe their unfounded attacks against her, suggesting that she and other Conservatives bear some responsibility for the Tucson Mass Shooting. In this video, liberal “Journalist” Jonathan Capeheart says “she should have been more careful” in her use of words, saying the use of the term “blood Libel” is an anti-semitic term, even though he said Palin is not anti-semit...
Palin in trouble over 'blood libel' claim
Sarah Palin ... won't be muzzled. "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them," she said of the shooting rampage that left six dead and Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life. On a national day of mourning for the Victims, Palin fanned speculation she will run for the White House in 2012 and cast herself as the arch-conservative movement's champion with a slickly made, nearly eight-minute video. "Especially...
President Palin Addresses Her Nation
Today's big political sensation seems to be a video released by Sarah Palin providing her presumably definitive commentary on the shootings in Tucson, the Controversy over her PAC's targeting of Gabby Giffords with what looked like a bullseye on her district, and the broader argument about the possible connection of violent anti-government Rhetoric with acts of violence against government officials.
Most of the commentary on the video has focused on her use of the term "blood Libel" to charac...
ABC: Why must Sarah Palin insert herself into this story by defending herself against charges of inspiring murder?
I think it might be time to stop writing about the coverage, not because I’m bored with it or because there’s nothing left to say, but because I simply can’t achieve the Loughnerian dream state required to cope with “the facts.”
Should she have ended her video right after her expression of sympathy? After all, isn’t today about the Victims, not the debate? Then again, if she didn’t address the debate swirling around her target map she might just as quickly...
From Blood Libel to Lynching
Palin-haters are attempting to turn Gov. Sarah Palin’s reasonable and empathic response today to the Tucson atrocity into an antisemitic outburst.
Palin, like Glenn Reynolds (and, independently, Andrew Breitbart) used the term “blood Libel” to describe the way in which opportunistic politicians and Journalists seized on the Shooting Spree to demonize the Tea Party and Conservatives in general.
The original “blood Libel” is the false accusation (originating in medi...
The kind of insights only Gohmert can provide
THE KIND OF INSIGHTS ONLY GOHMERT CAN PROVIDE.... Earlier today, in apparent reference to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said, "I hope the sheriff tones his Rhetoric down."
Yes, Gohmert wants someone else to tone down the rhetoric. This from the guy who, among other things, screamed at Anderson Cooper for several minutes about "terror babies," and argued on the House floor that Democrats are trying to get Senior Citizens to "die off more quickly" by passing h...
I Blame Jared Lee Loughner
The man who should burn for the crimes of Jared Lee Loughner is Jared Lee Loughner. Not Rush Limbaugh, who said yesterday that Democrats are supporting the man who shot a Democratic congresswoman in the head: "What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that... the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame . He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a v...

Rush Limbaugh: Jared Lee Loughner has the "Full Support" of Democrats

Controversial, conservative Talk Radio host Rush Limbaugh is stepping up his assault against the Democratic Party in the wake of the Mass Shooting in Tucson, Ariz., claiming the Democrats fully "support" the alleged shooter.
On his Radio Show Tuesday, Limbaugh said, "What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that... the Democrat party is attemptin...
Obama arrives in Tucson for memorial
US President Barack Obama was Wednesday visiting injured congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Hospital shortly after arriving in Arizona to address a poignant memorial service. "The president wanted to begin this solemn trip by stopping first at the Hospital where congresswoman Giffords and others continue to recover," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. The president would also meet with the families of the Victims of Saturday's shooting rampage in Tucson, Arizona, before leading the memori...
Rush Limbaugh: Jared Loughner Has 'Full Support' Of Democratic Party
Rush Limbaugh reacted to the instantly infamous mugshot of Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in the Arizona shooting, by saying that the reason Loughner is smiling in the picture is because he knows he is backed by the Democratic Party.
Speaking on his Radio Show Tuesday, Limbaugh said that Loughner was getting the exact attention that he wanted:
" What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows wha...
Limbaugh: Jared Loughner Has The Full Support Of The Democrat Party
The mugshot of alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner really angered Rush Limbaugh today. Not only because Loughner is getting all the attention he wanted, but also because “he’s snickering at every one of us in that mugshot.” While everyone can agree the photo is disturbing, it’s likely few would agree with Rush’s actual explanation as to why Loughner is smiling.
Limbaugh theorized:
“What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political...
