Dupnik refused to enforce the Arizona immigration law, calling it racist. So, it’s not surprising he’s using this press conference as a forum to blame the Tea Party.

Are we sure Boy Blue is this guy...

No! I have not seen enough evidence for this. Other items (while possibly be true) I have not seen corroborated by enough reliable sources: 1) His alleged Facebook page 2) His alleged military background 3) His alleged accomplices What writings from him that seem reliably "his" indicate that, at least recently, he was not capable of clear thought. It is ludicrous to ascribe blame to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, recent elections, Gifford's record, etc., etc., (though many will try). What family members, recent friends, co-workers missed the clues of his psychotic descent?

Why the difference in spelling??

Also, the sheriff refused to release his name.

"This sheriff is a jerk. Blaming the “level of anger and vitriol” present in Arizona for causing a “deranged person” to take such an action."

Agree. He is setting this perfectly for the Democrats to demand that the Tea Party and any other strong opposition to sit down and be quiet.

Representative Giffords read the First Amendment at the reading of the Constitution in the House.

C-Span video: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/HouseSession3985

On the drop-down list of speakers, select Giffords, then hit enter in the empty search box. Select her line in the transcript, and it will jump to a few seconds before in the video, when she is announced.

He repeated his views at least three times. If he would cooperate in pushing the feds to enforce the law to start with (like Pinal and Maricopa County sheriffs), the level of anger at the number of illegals and drugs crossing the border would not be as high.

Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if he was an “Afgan war veteran” as reported by State Senator Linda Lopez? Seems odd if he had criminal records?

It was just reported that he was REJECTED by the army. Report strongly implied that he was not mentally qualified (Section 8 bait).

IOW, SS Linda Lopez deliberately lied in an effort to slime our veterans.

Surprised?

Just got in and haven't even checked the days posting here.

I've been out and about all day running errands. I live in Orange County, CA and have been listening to the various local radio stations all day.

I would like to tell everyone here my observations. Based on the ignorant rants of commentators, up to and including the Arizona Officials running the hourly news briefings, I can say here without reservation that this episode will result in Censorship of all those “extremist” Radio and Television Shows who promote “vitriol and hatred” that results in such carnage as well as a coordinated attack on our Second Amendment Rights by the Political Class.

I even heard the Arizona DNC head insinuate that the extreme vitriol of Talk Radio must be toned down, like that had anything to do with this.

They are already attacking Sarah Palin for her use of “gun sights” on her SARAHPAC Web site during the election cycle. Of course, no mention of a Late Night TV Host having a picture of President Bush in the cross hairs or the eight years of hatred and threats made against him. Can't forget the Bush Assassination Movie either. Remember the outrage on that? Me neither.

While I find it interesting that the discovery of 14 headless bodies in a Mexican Tourist Destination hasn't created a blip on the radar, the over reaching reaction and blame being hoisted upon Gun Owners, the Tea Party and Republicans because of the action of some Nutcase is absolutely astounding to me.

I swear they are setting up the biggest increase in the Fascist agenda we have ever faced. I have never thought there would be the makings of another Civil War in this country, but the events of the day have changed my mind.

NPR news just reported that he is alleged to have had help, and that they have a photograph of an unidentified white male in his 50s who is alleged to be the accomplice. The photograph may be released soon.

We forget sometimes how fortunate, and how different, this country has been run from the vast majority of governments in human history. I should pray more. I will pray now.
