Since making his claim Saturday that the Tucson shootings were caused by "vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business," Pima County Arizona Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has become a media darling being regularly quoted by press outlets from coast to coast.
On Sunday, during strong questioning from Fox News's Megyn Kelly, Dupnik admitted that his department has not uncovered one shred of evidence to support his now well-publicized assertion (video follows with partial transcript and commentary, relevant section at 1:55):

Dipstik is a big supporter of La Reconquista. He’s old and don’t have many years left. He’s just trying for his 15 minutes and a few extra bucks. We’ll be seeing a “book” out of this. The commie libs wouldn’t have it any other way.
There is no end to the number of bodies the Left will climb over or stand on in order to further their own, warped, twisted socialist agenda. Even the body of a child means nothing to them.
This Sheriff is subject to a Recall under the AZ Constitution. He will get one.
Oh yeah; 20 years of Rush Limbaugh and we’ve seen bloodbaths every month since he started.
Yeah, radio shows cause endless bloodletting.
The Sheriff obviously can’t be trusted to do his job fairly.
So he's admitting that liberals are driven to hatred by listening to conservatives?
Oooooo....The media have a brand new darling.
I see retirement in the Sheriff’s very near future.
“Dupnik has become the one national figure with the courage to tell it like it is.”
Absurd thinking.
The Left ALWAYS “tells it like it is” - with the MSM to push it along!
Geesh. As if they’ve played nice-nice with conservatives.
Please.
Hope if I am ever busted by a Sheriff he will help get me off the hook too with the old “the devil made him do it” defense.
What a Liberal Democrat tool!
Then, why does he engage in it?
STFU, you poor excuse for a Sheriff.
Keep your mouth shut, your goofy left-wing opinions to yourself, and just DO YOUR JOB.
WaPo calls this senile old RAT a “folk hero”?? I call him a partisan idiot. The people he’s defaming should sue him. And since these murders occoured in his county, isn’t he responsible for preventing them? Shouldn’t he have assigned a couple of deputies when a rep makes a public appearance? Sounds like old Clarence dropped the ball and is shirking his responsibility.
The sheriff, like that jack-— DeConcini are like all other liberals. They haven’t ever listened to Limbaugh, Beck or any of the others they blame for “the hateful rhetoric”. If they had they would know without a doubt they are lying. Look at the rhetoric when Bush was president and look at Obama’s rhetoric now - calling those who disagree with him “enemies”; “Punish your enemies”; “argue with your neighbors, get in their faces” and others. If anyone is to blame for hateful rhetoric, it is “The One” himself. Liberals/socialists in this country, otherwise known as democrats and MSM are scum
He admitted on Horroroldo that is is a leftie. He blames Palin, Beck, Rush, and any conservative for this. Let him keep it up.Soom there will be more postings of things the left has done to conservatives. Unless I am mistaken this kind of vitriolic conversations began with the left and finally the right picked up and tossed it back at them. Didn’t the real bad stuff start about the time of the Byrd ad from TX? and it has got steadily worse over the years. There is enough blame to go around for both sided with these political ads which tend to get off topic and present half truths if not flat out lies.
Remember the good old days when everything was the fault of George W. Bush?
Is he really stupid enough to believe that this 22 year old loner EVER listened to Limbaugh, even knew who Beck was, or ever saw Sarah Palin’s map. He’s not just dumb....he’s lying.
