Arizona Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Blames Rush Limbaugh for Tucson Shooting Massacre
Unhinged and Far Left Democrat – what a shocker.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.”
Investigators have yet to determine what motivated 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, described by some as appearing to be mentally unstable, to allegedly open fire on the crowd outside the Tucson Safeway.
However, so far there is no evidence that he has any ties to any political group.
I agree with Rush that Sheriff Dupnik is a fool and so do others – even from the LEFT.

The Limbaugh Rule to Supplant the Buckley Rule?
Graphic from Rush LimbaughI guess we will see with the coming general election in Delaware if the Rush Limbaugh Rule works.And, the total votes for the control of the United States Senate.
There are caveats and frankly I don’t see how the Republican Party wins here – in any case.I find Rush’s argument in favor of the Limbaugh Rule lacking on its own terms as well as in terms of the prudence one should ordinarily apply to matters of practical politics. Among other things, the Limbaugh Rule does not take account of the advantages of majority status in the Senate. Rush’s formulation of the Limbaugh Rule nevertheless clarifies the issues of judgment that have divided conservatives in Delaware and elsewhere this primary season.
But, in a couple of months the votes will be counted.

Day By Day by Chris Muir October 15, 2009 – Taking Heat
Chris, talk about taking heat – how about Rush Limbaugh and his attempt to be a NFL Owner/Investor.John Hinderaker over at Powerline has a powerful sum up of the FLAP, including a CNN graphic which is a blatant lie.
It’s official: Rush Limbaugh has withdrawn as a minority participant in a group that is trying to buy the St. Louis Rams. This follows opposition to Rush’s participation from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and, shamefully, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Such opposition, in turn, was fueled by false claims that Limbaugh has made various racist statements in the past.
The most ridiculous of the statements falsely attributed to Rush was this one:
Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.
Anyone who has ever listened to Limbaugh would immediately recognize this as a hoax; in fact, it was made up out of whole cloth by a little-known left-wing blogger. But it was reported as fact by news outlets that didn’t bother to verify their facts. CNN was especially blameworthy in this regard; it vouched for the blogger-fabrication:
Here is the graphic:
Suddenly, Flap has LESS desire to watch the “politically correct” NFL and especially NBC’s Sunday night football with LEFTY Keith Olbermann as a commentator. This demonization and outright slander/libel of Rush Limbaugh is the last straw.
College football is political enough.
So long NFL.
