Despite the constant media smears this week – only 15% of Americans believe heated rhetoric caused the Tucson shootings.

Far left Sheriff Dupnik was wrong.

Only 15% of Americans believe that heated rhetoric had anything to do with the shootings Saturday by a leftwing pothead that killed 6 people in Tucson.

Maybe the state-run media will remember this next time before they start smearing conservatives after a mass murder.
Quinnipiac reported:

Saturday’s shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, in which six people were killed, could not have been prevented, 40 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. Another 23 percent blame the mental health system, while 15 percent say it was due to heated political rhetoric and 9 percent attribute the tragedy to lax gun control.

American voters say 52 – 41 percent that “heated political rhetoric drives unstable people to commit violence,” the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Liberals rather than conservatives are more responsible for such rhetoric, voters say 36 – 32 percent.

Voters surveyed just before the Martin Luther King Day holiday say 31 – 21 percent that the United States is a safer place for political figures today than during Dr. King’s era, with 45 percent saying things are about the same.

Sheriff Dupnik needs to resign.

  1. Paul Shanklin’s latest: I’m Not a Sheriff

    Hilarious as usual.

  2. This would not have happened if Dupnik had done his job. this is what happens when you have an incompetent liberal hack, acting as a law enforcement officer. Sort of like Bill Delahunt when he was the DA in Norfolk County, Massachusetts in connection with Amy Bishop. With liberals everyone is eq

  3. Sheriff Dumpnik. Is an evil vile person?
    This man had one agenda and one agenda only. To make The Right and the Tea Party pay for the mistake of a mentally deranged man.

    Had the Sheriff taken his responsibilities seriously he would have calmed down the county and tried to make his people feel safe.

    This man is by no means a leader and should have never been elected to a public office.
    I feel sorry for the Conservative Folks of Pima County and the leader of the Pima County Tea Party who was told by the Sheriff station to stay inside and not go around anyone if he was in fear for his life.

    That alone should have gotten the Sheriff kicked out of office.
    I hope The Tea Party presses charges against the Sheriff for failure to do his job. PROTECT AND SERVE EVERYONE.. Not just liberals and illegal’s.

  4. New Urban Dictionary entry: dupnik.

    (v.) to attempt to cover up one’s own duplicity or guilt by publicly and loudly deflecting blame onto others that had no demonstrable involvement.

    (n.) a buffoon, simpleton, uninformed individual that runs his/her mouth without rhyme or reason and has no idea of what they are talking about. Usually a self professed expert, short on knowledge, but is full of crap.

    Let’s see Dupnik sue somebody with the word “Urban” in their title.

  5. #1:

    I hope the Dupnik tries suing Rush for that.

  6. 20% of people are uberliberals. Not even all of them are buying this.

  7. Fifteen percent… and half of those bumped their head in the shower this morning lol

  8. I suspect that the verbalized dementia of rabid libtards has contributed to the mindset of many hate-filled nuts prone to violence, including the Tuscon murderer. It is their idea that those who disagree do so due to evil motivation. They are the ones who claim to be the good guys, for whose cause any means are justified. Their spirit of self-justification is but a short distance from the more insane, separated world of the schizoids.

  9. Libs: Damn! This tactic didn’t work either!

  10. There is one think Sheriff Dupnik said with which I agree. He said that 40 years ago we could take people like Jared off the street and put them in a hospital where they could be helped or at least prevented from being a danger to themselves or others. I suspect that’s also true of half the homeless.

  11. Sheriff Dimwit … the new face of the Democratic Party

  12. Yet the hatefest persists as does the blame game.

    Politico Arizona shooting victim: I hope Palin and Glenn Beck are happy

    I wonder of Brady still blames Jodi Foster? Can we now blame Islam for Maj. Hassan?

  13. As a elected officer of the law, he has no business injecting his personal views into the conduct of this case. In any other environment it would be called racial profiling, something Libs consider the holy grail advancing their agenda. Get use to it this is war, war with a mentality that seeks control of your life. To act or think otherwise is foolhardy.

  14. Looks like it’s time for Christof to write some of these losers like Krugman, Mathews, Greedspan’s Old Lady out of his show and find some new talent to herd the masses bahahahaha

  15. I’ll make a deal with the left.

    Stop trying to shove socialism down our throats and we’ll stop complaining about you shoving socialism down our throats.

    Deal?

  16. This is making me very hopeful for 2012

  17. And now we learn (Fox) Michelle Obama now says to use last Saturday as a teaching moment, cheez these Commies just can’t control their hate for us.

  18. I’d like to see a massive class action lawsuit against Dupnik and every single leftist media hack who attempted to vilify not just Pale, Limbaugh & Beck but ALL conservatives & TEA party people in America. We should sue them. We’ve all been victimized by those jackasses.

  19. Stupid typo: Pale should read Palin. Sorry.

  20. People get the kind of govt. they deserve and dumpster full of garbage aided and abetted this tradgedy by not enforcing the law because of his politics. The shooter was a pot head on illegally imported from mexico pot. He had no job so was likely selling pot to earn his stash.Dumbnik helped illegal alien drug smugglers by neglecting his duty and his campaign was no doubt indirectly funded by by laundered drug money. The money goes round and round and comes out here.

  21. [As if to prove that they have no sense of irony — or proportion, or even basic decency — the liberal Center for American Progress sent reporters this morning a lengthy e-mail that began by invoking the tragic shootings in Tucson, Ariz., then proceeded to claim that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and state Republicans were issuing a “death sentence” to poor Arizonans.] and that would be john podesta’s group who recently added steve kest [executive director of acorn] to his group that includes van jones..if you’re looking for civility with this crew

  22. Well, this poll just means it’s time for them to TRIPLE-DOWN, and ratchet it up a few notches!

    Watch for a Hollywood film or two pushing it. Watch for a 60-Minutes special on RIghtWing Hate, and a Dateline NBC on the same. Watch for every pop-star in the idiot-pop-star spectrum to make insane public statements.

    They just haven’t got the message out, is all this (and every single poll for the last 2 years) means. They just need to “step up their game!”

    The lies and insanities have just begun.

  23. #19 Zilla

    I was gonna say, “Who you callin’ Pale?!”

    LOL! :P

  24. i think more and more people in america are reaching conclusions by looking at what american tass says and then believing the opposite.

  25. Sheriff dimwit dipsh*t didn’t do his job. He’s flapped his jaws about his conviction that the heated rhetoric caused violence…..so with his prior knowledge…..why didn’t he arrest this guy and/or properly provide security at this event?

  26. Remember the good old days, just a few short years ago, when Dissent was the highest form of patriotism? Now, it makes you an accessory to murder.

  27. the dup gets a “good job” call from the president for this. he won’t be giving him a call for doing a good job fighting crime. the dup’s county has the highest crime rates in arizona.

  28. Fifteen percent still represents a large number of lib-liars and their dumb-sheep followers.
