Arizona Sheriff Blasts Rush Limbaugh for Spewing 'Irresponsible' Vitriol

Actually Limbaugh was on TV for four years - 1992 - 1996. That also means his last show was 15 years ago, not 20. And if I recall, he was on four or five days a week. So he had hundreds and hundreds of episodes - not the 11 that you claim.

But why let the facts get in the way of attacking an enemy of yours.

Indeed, its as if he's taking lessons on attacking the enemy from people like yourself and the sheriff who didn't bother letting facts get in their way of manipulating a tragedy.

you know, just to bring this whole thing back on topic, namely the "irresponsible vitriol" of Rush Limbaugh that supposedly was somehow related in some way shape or form, even with regards to the "atmosphere", of the Arizona shooting.

WOW!!!!!

Talk about posting something which has nothing at all to do with the material you quoted.

You MEAN GIRLS really do stick up for each other even if you are proven wrong. I guess right wing loyalty is pretty thick.

Where was I defending reverend? You're right, his hyperbole regarding the amount of episodes was far off, and 4 years is hardly a time period on TV to sneeze at.

I was pointing out the irony of someone who for a week didn't bother letting the facts get in the way of
their attacking of their "enemies" lecturing someone about doing that very thing. You cherry picked and ignored facts the entire time and still now with regards to the Arizona shooting so you could attack Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, The Tea Party, Republicans, Conservatives, and every other enemy you had so it was absolutely hillarious to watch you lecturing someone about your own tactic.

You opted to conveniently blame me for the Revs errors and not blame him. Is that defending him? Perhaps not totally. But it is trying to shift the blame from him to me.

And I am not going to accept it.
 
Of course you're not going to accept the made up slight you've created in your own mind as a means of not dealing with the fact that what you called him out on was the same thing you've done since the start of the Arizona issue...you know, the thing referenced in the topic of this thread.

If you did accept it, then you'd actually have to address your own hypocrisy, not to mention how monumentally wrong you continually were shown to be with regards to Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, The Tea Party, and republicans, and about everything else you tried to link to the Arizona shooting in some way, shape, or form.

The sheriff's statements were ridiculous, irresponsible, and absolutely ignorant and such was shown to be as unquestionably true now as it was the moment he said it. Those in the media and in the public that used his statements while ignoring the facts as a whole, cherry picking bits and pieces only when convienent, in an attempt to attack their political enemies and score political points were right up there with him in terms of their irresponsibility and ignorant statements regarding the case. They were the clear definition and example, like yourself, of ignoring facts in favor of attacking an enemy.

Not at all. You are comparing apples to cinderblocks. You are attacking more for taking a political position that you disagree with. Rev simply made fundamental and factual errors in his numbers and evaluation for the Limbaugh tenure on TV in mocking someone he did not agree with. Where are my fundamental factual errors?

Perhaps, there is some connection in your mind that makes this makes sense to you. Sorry - but I just don't see it. You are comparing apples to cinderblocks.
 
The good sheriff may be using smoke and mirrors to get eyes off his department. Jared Loughner had at least three run ins with the law so he was not a stranger to the sheriff's department. If anyone could have stopped this maybe it was him.

I'm sorry but there is absolutely no evidence to support this speculation at all. Come on now.

Anyway, Rush Limbaugh is irresponsible much like Beck and others. But there is no evidence that these jerk offs are the direct cause or even a significant factor regarding acts of violence from the fringe. The Sheriff was in err in his statement in to that end in my opinion.

today:

MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.

Schultz’s suspension is the latest in a string of reprimands by the cable network in the last year. Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough were both suspended after making political donations without first alerting their bosses, a violation of NBC News policy.

Olbermann’s suspension went a long way toward weakening his relationship with MSNBC management, to the point that they parted ways earlier this year, leaving it without its highest-rated show host and architect of its current left-leaning slant.

“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name - Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”

Ingraham reponded via her Facebook page on Wednesday.

“Re. the crude comments made about me by Ed Schultz on his radio program: First, I was surprised to learn that Ed Schultz actually hosted a radio show. Is it only available online?” she wrote.

“Second, I have to get back to recording the audio edition of my new book “Of Thee I Zing.” Now I’m tempted to insert one additional zing—about men who preach civility but practice misogyny.”

prominent african american tea party leader herman cain, the monkey in the window

The strange, racist attack on Herman Cain

hate, anyone?

where's krugman, where's the nyt ed staff?

That's so typical of the Left everyone takes this vitriol for granted. They'll remain silent and accept these outbursts is business as usual.

The lesson is that ALL Blacks must remain within the Democratic Party or they'll suffer the same kind of abuse.
 
today:

House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress, on Wednesday blamed most of President Barack Obama's political problems on racism.

"You know, I'm 70 years old," he said. "And I can tell you; people don't like to deal with it, but the fact of the matter is, the president's problems are in large measure because of his skin color."

Racism to blame for Obama's problems, key Democrat says | McClatchy

clyburn is the assistant minority leader nee whip in the house and the uncontested boss of the south carolina democrat party

is he suggesting that the american electorate which overwhelmingly sent republicans to washington and almost every state capital in the nation last november are "in large measure" racist?
