Posted on January 8, 2011 at 9:10pmIt is indeed a sad day that a disturbed individual can do what this person has done.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 12:10amThat is the most disgusting part of this incident. The socialist will use it as a reason to take away our rights. The communists will kill and blame everyone else and use it as an excuse to destroy the people who disagree with them. See communism, look at the Gulf of Mexico, look at California’s once fertile valley. Look at Obamacare and the destruction of health care in this country. Look at the financial system and how they brought it down. It is all there. All they need now is a reason to create martial law. Is this the reason?

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 9:09pmI predicted this when it happened this morning. Someone high up got in the sheriffs ear. Watch out for this sheriff to be offered a federal position in the future. This is what they mean when they say “never let a crisis go to waste.” I find this sheriff’s comments to be an abomination. I doubt he has a shred of evidence that this shooter listened to glenn or rush.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 3:27pmNah. Watch these pages long enough and you could pull a few hate-filled comments out. Of course, there are always going be some hate-filled people in any large enough group; hate is not an exclusively left-, or right-wing phenomenon.
That said, I find that “hate”, like “fascist”, is a word that the left has deprived of any real meaning, and used to signify anything they don’t approve of. So they say that Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc. “spew hate”, in the same way they called Bush a “fascist”, without offering any specific examples merely because they disagree with them. This of course is the standard, baseless ad hominem — in other words, the typical leftist “argument”.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 11:59amNon_Probate_Asset,
The Sheriff is certainly entitled to his opinion concerning the motivation behind this tragedy (no matter how intellectually dishonest this opinion may be). A press conference in front of the national media is not the proper venue for him to express such views though. He is an elected official, who quite obviously harbors anti-right, anti-free speech views, but he is also a sworn Sheriff whose conduct should never undermine public confidence in his agency’s professional objectivity. I am a senior state law enforcement officer in a state where the law prohibits people in my position from engaging in partisan political activity (above and beyond casting votes and privately expressing political opinions). Why? Because doing so might undermine the public’s trust in our fairness and objectivity. The Sheriff should consider the fact that he is sworn to serve people of all ideological persuasions, and who expect him to rise above the political fray when discharging his official duties. Moreover, and contrary to the Sheriff’s insinuations, most conservative commentators I have ever listened to (Glenn Beck included) have explicitly spoken out against violence. The same cannot be said of many left-wing commentators.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 10:41pmJared the Tucson gunman is without a moral conscience.
As other liberal gunman before him they posses a superiority complex and usually force their agenda upon other liberal institutes or persons.
We can teach our children moral conscience, seem as if public schools are having a difficult time doing that.
The conscience manifests itself in the feeling of obligation we experience, which precedes, attends and follows our actions.
Conscience is first occupied in ascertaining our duty, before we proceed to action; then in judging of our actions when performed.
We can learn these objectives by reading the Bible, or attending bible studies, or having discussion with someone who does. A christian who regularly fellowships with other christians is less likely to sin. If you posses a moral conscience, your children are more likely to do the same. Similar to the flight attendent instructions, place the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting your child. If you need oxygen, look around and see who’s breathing, they’ll share.
Some people are very well adjusted without Christ in their lives. The unbelieving culture today has a problem because there’s no basis for truth out there outside the word of god. The boundry of good and evil runs through every human heart.
How do we overcome the world system? Jesus Christ is the victor. Believe that jesus christ is the son of God our creator. Believe what he has taught. Then you’ll believe that he will be victorious in the final analysis. If that faith isn’t present, you’ll be swept along with the world system.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 10:28pm@Cobra Blue…”I know this is a sad day with the events on AZ. But to go along with what the sheriff is referring to, it is the likes of people like Van Jones, Piven and other Marxists associated with the administration that have been calling for violence in the streets. Not conservatives, not the Tea Party, not talk radio and not the Republicans. And they don’t care what the violence looks like so long as it occurs.” You are so right!
This sheriff is NOT well respected here in Arizona…Sheriff Joe would not act the way this man does…he’s a big fat self-serving blow hard…He KNOWS we have FREE SPEECH in this country…so what on earth does he hope to gain with his statements?…He mentioned “those on TV” a couple times during his interview…do you suppose he was referring to anyone WE KNOW? You bet he was!
I personally don‘t understand why our Representatives don’t at least have one specialist on their payroll who is trained to spot trouble before it occurs…you know, the bouncer type/body guards…personally, as much money as our government ****** away, wonder why we couldn’t justify providing this kind of support for them? AND, as you can see, the public is also at risk when our Reps are targeted at public appearances…Just a thought.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 12:12amThis Sherriff NEVER pointed out which side the hate and vitriol was coming from. Just to be fair here, and it doesn’t MATTER which “side” this guy thinks he’s on, he is on the WRONG side. There is NO fault here but his own, no matter if he shot from his left hand or his right. He is a sick man, and if he could do this once, then in my opinion, he should be executed so he can never do this again. And i am anti-death penalty. (yeah, shocking coming from an uber-conservative) but if there is overwhelming evidence (he was taken into custody on the spot with MANY witnesses) then he should get the gas.
Folks, you need to see the situation and the individual, and NOT knee-jerk one way or the other. Whether he was left wing or right wing, it doesn’t matter. He was one man, with an effed up brain, and that is all. No matter what “infuenced” him, he is the ONLY one at fault here!

3. Blame Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck for hate mongering, where are the facts? When have they ever engaged in hate speech or advocated for attacking people with violence?

If a couple of those people would have been exercising their duties as a citizen of the State of Arizona and as a citizen of the United States to carry a firearm the outcome may have been different. Arizona has open carry laws and a federal judge should always be armed because of the likelihood of revenge by somebody he sent to jail or one of the criminals gang, relative or friend actually doing something to take revenge for the criminals incarceration etc. Every Honest and Decent person in the State of Arizona should go armed, would make for a much politer society for one, and the bad actors would be weeded out in short order.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 10:45amAs a 20-year law enforcement official who has frequently had occasion to address the media concerning major cases, I found the Sheriff’s comments to be quite irresponsible and shocking. The first responsibility of the law enforcement officials investigating this brutal crime should be the methodical pursuit of truth. Truth is neither subjective, nor something that should be shaded or speculated upon in furtherance of scoring cheap political points. Seemingly, the Sheriff, and many others, could not resist the temptation to do so though. The Sheriff needs to stick to the facts and maintain the integrity and objectivity of the investigative process. To do otherwise insults the victims and families devastated by this tragedy. In my opinion, it is the height of professional irresponsibility for a law enforcement executive to stand in front of the national media and engage in reckless off-the-cuff speculation about the motivation of a murderer, just a few hours after the crime was committed, and in the infancy of the investigation.
