(Clarence Dupnik) Pima County Arizona sheriff has an opinion about Tucson shootings

From MIchelle Malkin: "There has been zero indication that Loughner directly or explicitly complained about immigration; instead, he ranted about illiteracy in general and inveighed against grammar control. But this, of course, didn’t stop pro-illegal alien amnesty sheriff Clarence Dupnik from shoehorning SB1070 and its aftermath into his press conference about the Tucson massacre."


Re attack on Giffords: "We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to work with, might be a target, the answer is that she’s a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona, precisely because the Republicans nominated a Tea Party activist. ...rhetoric of Beck, Limbaugh, etc. and the violence I fear we’re going to see in the months and years ahead. But violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate."   Paul Krugman

"Senator Dick Durbin appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and told Candy Crowley that Sarah Palin's gun imagery of targeting certain congressional districts was 'beyond the bounds” and “not acceptable rhetoric.'”
