County Sheriff: Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has become something of a liberal hero in the last few days, speaking out against the "vitriol" of today's political climate and dubbing Arizona "the Mecca for prejudice and Bigotry."

As the left accuses the right of inflaming the political debate, Dupnik has been a prominent voice blaming heated Rhetoric for Jared Lee Loughner's attack, which left six dead.

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...

Michelle Malkin: Arizona sheriff may be worst in U.S.
There are many heroes who showed indomitable courage and grace under fire during this weekend's horrific Tucson massacre. Blowhard Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was not one of them. If the White House has any sense, President Obama will stay far away from the demagogic Dupnik and his media entourage when he visits Arizona on Wednesday to memorialize the Victims. Indeed, if the White House is truly committed to unifying the country, it will explicitly disavow Dupnik's vulture-like exploita...

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...
Officials: Frenetic morning for rampage suspect
(01-12) 14:26 PST Tucson, Ariz. (AP) --
For Jared Loughner, the morning of the deadly shooting rampage was a blur of activity. He hustled to Walmart twice. He ran a red light, with the officer letting him off with a warning. Back home, he grabbed a black bag from the trunk of a family car and fled into the desert on foot, his suspicious father giving chase.
Later, Loughner took a cab to a Safeway Supermarket and began squeezing off round after round into the crowd.
The new details of the Walma...

Liberal Seek Ban on Metaphors In Wake of Arizona Shooting
After the monstrous shooting in Arizona last week, surely we can all agree that we've got to pass Obama's agenda immediately and stop using metaphors.
At least I think that's what the Mainstream Media are trying to tell me.
Liberals instantly leapt on the sickening massacre at a Tucson political event over the weekend to accuse tea partiers, Sarah Palin and all Conservatives who talk out loud of being complicit in Murder by inspiring the shooter, Jared Loughner.
Of course, to make their case...
Another Horrible Jared Lougher What If? to Consider
It was revealed late yesterday that on Saturday, before Jared Loughner carried out his deadly attack at a Tucson Safeway, he had a dramatic run-in with his father:
Loughner's father witnessed his son with a black bag Saturday morning, the day of the shooting, and inquired about what he was doing.

911 tapes log harrowing chronicle of Tucson shootings
By Tim Gaynor
Tucson, Ariz | Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:37pm EST
Tucson, Ariz (Reuters) - A calm male voice surrounded by haunting cries of pain tells a 911 dispatcher of multiple Shooting Victims outside a Tucson Supermarket and of wounds to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
"There was a shooting at Safeway at Ina and Oracle where Gabrielle Giffords was, I do believe Gaby Giffords was hit," the male voice says, with almost animal cries and groans of pain in the background.
"At the Safeway sir? ... W...
Sheriff Dupnik: Why No, I Won't Be Releasing My Records About Loughner And My Ineptitude In Dealing With Him. Why Do You Ask?
The Arizona Republic requested the documents. They state that such records are released as a matter of routine in criminal cases.
Dupnik's office says, Nah. Why you want to bother yourself? I told you who's to blame, didn't I?
On Monday, The Republic requested copies of any reports from the Pima County Sheriff's Department involving contacts with Loughner or calls to his house. Pima County Deputy Rene Carlson said her office would not release the reports without a specific date, though this is...
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...
A Thank You Call to America’s Worst Sheriff
The worst sheriff in America, Pima County's irresponsible Clarence Dupnik, has accomplished notable achievements in the past. For example, he assisted in the non-prosecution of fellow moonbats who threw pies at Ann Coulter when she tried to speak at the University of Arizona. When SB1070 passed with the overwhelming support of Arizona citizens alarmed by the inundation of the state by Illegal Aliens, this sheriff of a border county refused to enforce it. But only after ignoring numerous warnings...

This is why Palin '12 just won't work
It has been widely assumed that Sarah Palin's response to Gabrielle Giffords' shooting would be a pivotal moment for her viability as a 2012 Presidential Candidate. Now Palin has finally broken her silence, with a seven-minute videotaped message released this morning -- one that, more than anything, will probably give Republicans yet another reason to look elsewhere for a '12 Candidate.
As is the case just about every time Palin sounds off on a major topic, the result has been instant and bitter...
Rep. Gohmert Sees FBI Conspiracy To Hide Shooter's Political Beliefs
In the aftermath of the Tucson shootings, many members of Congress have indicated via statements or appearances if they're planning on taking the high road — or if, like Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), they'll attempt to use the tragedy as a springboard for unwarranted attacks on liberals. Bloomberg reports today that Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has chosen the latter. His predictably bizarre take on an FBI-led security briefing for members of Congress was that FBI officials were holding out on de...

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 Gun-rights advocate: High-capacity magazine restrictions 'makes sense'
A leading gun-rights advocate says there is no constitutional barrier to restricting the sale of high capacity gun magazines such as the one used by accused Tucson shooter Jared Loughner and that such proposals are justified to prevent "looney tunes" from committing more gun massacres. Robert A. Levy, who served as co-counsel in the landmark Supreme Court case that established a Second Amendment right to Bear Arms, said there was no reason the court's decision in that case should apply to the pu...
