Outspoken Tucson sheriff faces recall bid

How about tap dancing in the sticky blood of innocent men women and children and launching political attacks. Thats just for starters. Then, lets see if the facts bear out the allegations that his office not only has had lots of dealings with that ****head in the past but that he has made threats against others in the past as well.

Did he actually tap dance in sticky blood or is that just your usual over the top hyperbole to muck up the waters?

Again, exactly which statement of the Sheriff do you find so worthy of purging him from his duties in office that he has performed for the last several decades with the support of the people of his county expressed in elections over and over and over again?

careful, the facts are not all in evidence yet, he may yet turn out to be a freaky far right pundit worshiper....
 
and that matters how? are there a different set of laws that allow pissants like Palin, Rush bin Limbaugh, and Beck to say whatever they want as long as they get paid millions to do it?

1) Well, we are speaking of the recall election of a public official, no?

2) yes, they don't have to worry about their constituency
 
well there is the matter of proportion....the left are rank amateurs when it comes to hatred. Obama can say target without implying the use of guns, Palin used scope sights. Beck even used the words "shoot them in the head" as posted on here, some other thread quoting him, the other day.
The far right that I know personally are a sad mixture of educated and uneducated, misguided elitists who usually call themselves christians, then act contrary to commen sense and christian teachings. The left I know are seldom as bad...or vocal. As for the leftist pundits, they suck almost as much as the rightist pundits.

The only reason the left isnt as prevalent is because they dont have an audience. But for every Beck, or Palin, or Limbaugh there is a Rhodes, a Shultz, an Olbermann, a Weiner, and any other number of elected democrats. For Fox News you have MSNBC and damn near every other media outlet. Bias is bias...I dont care how you paint it.

NONE of which changes the reality that they had NOTHING to do with the shooting. We as a nation have spent the last 2 weeks ranting on about rhetoric...and its a fabricated bull**** argument. And do you REALLY think anything is changing, has changed or will change? Fox is still Fox. MSNBC is still MSNBC. Politicians are still politicians. Oh yes...the left did themselves VERY proud this week...calling republicans nazis, accusing them of wanting to kill children and old people during the health care debate.

So...UB...Im fine with changing the tone of national debate. Forget about the 8 years of the Bush presidency and the first 2 years of theObama presidency (or heck....the STILL ongoing attacks on Clinton and Reagan, and Carter). Lets be all hopey and changey about a more civil tone. And actually ACT on it instead of using rhetoric to attack rhetoric.
 
1) Well, we are speaking of the recall election of a public official, no?

2) yes, they don't have to worry about their constituency

1)I predict that the "recall" is already over....it won't go past the noise stage that has already been submitted by the few far right who are offended by the idea that their prophets are being maligned.
2)the "constituency" of the pundits are beyond help, their brains died years ago....soap poisoning, lifebuoy bar soap....(movie reference)
 
careful, the facts are not all in evidence yet, he may yet turn out to be a freaky far right pundit worshiper....

Oh I have NO DOUBT that a reasonably intelligent defense lawyer is right now TELLING HIM thats what he is and was his motivation. Hell...why not use the sheriffs bull**** arguments (and one adopted by so many partisan idiots) as a legal defense? After all...how many times have people said he MUST have been influenced by this uncivil rhetoric...or that he is insane...a lunatic...mentally unstable...etc.

Sure...Im sure that even though they HAVE uncovered leftist rantings and his connection with the congresswoman in the past, that they have ALSO uncvovered this wealth of knowledge about right wing influences and are just saving it for later... :roll:

And isnt that message of restraint on motive just a LITTLE bit self serving?

I would like to see it go to a full blown all out official recall election where the actual issue can be discussed. I suspect the far right that is behind this does not want that to happen at all.

Of COURSE its my over the top hype you silly person. Doesnt change the fact that he IMMEDIATELY went on TV and spouted his lies and then repeated them on multiple occasions, now does it.

Amazing. You are preemptively giving every right winger an out here with this post. So the shooter comes out and admits he was impacted by right wing vitrioland you already have a prepackaged excuse why it is not true.

If the shooter claims that he was NOT impacted by right wing vitriol - you will trumpet that admission to the high heavens and get down on your knees and praise him for telling the truth.
If he says that he was indeed impacted by right wing vitriol, then you dismiss it as a lie because the truth makes you look bad.

Well done Vance. You serve your ideology well.

Act? how? didn't someone just act? words have multiple meanings depending on the bias of the speaker, and the bias of the listener. Some nut case can read what you said in your last few words and go out and actually ACT.....
Funny how you see FOX as the only conservative network, and DAMN NEAR EVERY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET as LIBERAL. Is that a bias?
I really am a moderate. If you want to take a far left stance, I will challenge that as well...

Loughner a "textbook" case paranoid schizophrenic - Jared Loughner - Salon.com

Quite early in the news cycle, the media more or less diagnosed Jared Loughner as paranoid schizophrenic. Do you think that's accurate?
He's a textbook case. Most psychiatrists will tell you they need to examine a patient before diagnosing him, but this guy has all of the symptoms. He has the right age of onset. He has a deteriorating social course, as they say in the [DSM], social and occupational dysfunction. He has delusions, and they're pretty strange. It's common for schizophrenics to think people are trying to control their mind, but thinking the government is trying to control your grammar -- I've never heard that before. The real tip-off is the markedly disorganized speech, which you see in the rambling videos. This is the kind of disorganized speech that you virtually never get in any other condition. It's what we call pathognomonic of schizophrenia. That is, when you hear that symptom, it's "schizophrenia until proven otherwise." He's also got the affective flattening of emotion, which you see in that mug shot.

Well done Vance. You serve your ideology well.

You miss the point (no...you mindlessly ignore the point). He WAS NOT influenced by ANYONE...left or right. THIS PERSON...THIS CASE...there is ZERO indication that he was motivated by right wing vitriol. NONE. All you and people like you have done is give credibility to a lie. You buy into this fabrication that he was influenced by it and now you feign outrage (not very convincingly BTW) that I have pointed out precisely what the sheriff and people like you have done.

Oh...ideology is being served in this discussion...of that there is no doubt. It MIGHT just be the people that still cling to the fabricated lie promoted by the sheriff from the outset...

The simple fact is there is NO CONNECTION that that is what OCCURED.

Hey...Im going to run up debt and blame it on congrerss. 'm going to default on all my debt obligations and then accuse congress...then we can have this whole national discussion on how congress is doing irresponsible things and we can just ignore the fact that I am going to choose to be wreckless and financially irresponsible.

I dont know Bill...would you call CNN right leaning? MSNBC? NBC? ABC? CBS? Help me out here...

See...I have no problem recognizing FOX for what they are. I just dont see all these other conservative news outlets. Right wing talk shows? Sure...I guess there are those out there as well...arent they all typically on one radio channel (just like AmeriLeft on the satellite stations)?

And the CTION...well...lets see some action from the democrats. Obama called for a more civil tone...now...did you observe any of the dabte this week on the house's healthcare vote? Maybe I missed the republicans calling democrats sciumbags and godless heathens...but I know for certain that several democrats equated republicans to Nazis. So...ACTION...no rhetoric. Im still wiating for the presidents condemnation of such hateful speech...

Because there is ZERO evidence of it. There has BEEN no evidence of it. Of course...that hasnt stopped mindless partisan fools from jumping to the claim that he was...has it now? You can attack affirmative actions. You cant attack something that hasnt happened. Scratch that. You can only attack something that hasnt happened if you first tell a bunch of mindless sheep it HAS happened. After all...they wont CARE that it hasnt happened...because...well...sheep...
 
Are there any provisions in the Constitution for kicking a State out of the Union? Maybe they'll consider secession. We'll need a passport to visit the Grand Canyon. Other than that, it seems that a ton of embarrassment would no longer be a part of the US.

It's their State. If they recall their Sheriff, it really won't confront me at all.

let's wait til the trial to decide what his motivations were.....

We have more than one sheriff, we also have Sheriff Joe.....
Arizona isn't near the embarrassment that Washington, D. C. is....

and you should talk, you gave us LBJ the liar, no tax increase Bush, and tax cut while fighting a war Bush.....:2razz:

Whew!... I thought maybe you had been writing back and forth with the individual. So you base your claim that he was not influenced on nothing exactly.

help me out here, are liberals the partisan fools, and conservatives the mindless sheep, or vice versa?:2razz:

Oh sure...NOW the left wants to wait before casting aspersions.... ;)

Isnt that what this whole debate is ABOUT??? If that hadnt already happened we wouldnt be having this and so many other discussions.

I think a defense attorney can play eeny meeny on this...pick from either the "evil republican rhetoric made me do it" or the "its not his fault because he is insane" defense. Both have been thrown about since day one.

:lamo

You really gotta stop...you are too much...

YOU and yur'n have been making the same BASELESS claim since day one...and now you think you have somehow scored points because I have stated we have no evidence of said influence? You (and your good buddy Bill)...apparently YOU TWO have this mythical evidence that he WAS influenced by Palin, Beck at al??? Of COURSE not.

Geez-us...one can literally HEAR the circus music when you read your words...
