Megyn Kelly took on the dishonorable Arizona Sheriff Clarenece Dupnik after his offensive remarks blaming conservatives for the shooting spree by and anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, antiflag, “quite liberal” lunatic.

“The viewers want to know why you are putting a political spin on this when you should be focusing on the facts.”

The crazy irresponsible sheriff had nothing to back up his inflammatory statements.
Mediaite reported:

On Fox News, Megyn Kelly interviewed the man in charge of the Arizona shooting investigation, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. Kelly introduced the interview saying, “it is always a difficult task to try to assign reason to an irrational act, but that is one of the things that Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is trying to do.”

From there, Kelly was persistent, yet extremely deferential as she expressed the doubts of many who are wondering why the Sheriff is so publicly offering his speculative opinion that “vitriolic rhetoric” helped lead to the tragedy. Although the sheriff had no specific evidence of such rhetoric yet, he claimed there is “no doubt in my mind that when a number of people night and day try to inflame the public, that there’s going to be some consequences from doing that and I think it’s irresponsible to do that.”

When he also warned that “free speech is free speech but it’s not without consequences,” Kelly questioned whether it was appropriate for a sheriff to be injecting their political spin? The sheriff answered that ultimately it’s up to the viewers to decide.

Sheriff Dupnik needs to step down.
What a horrible person.

  1. His Dem roots are coming up out of the ground. If I were in his juristiction, I would be worried about my rights as a citizen of the Republic.

  2. Souds like the sheriff is guilty of pot calling the kettle.

  3. He also takes the liberty of suggesting that one of the party in power is trying to improve the country and therefore the opposing party should be quiet. So many people just don’t even realize they have communist sympathies. I think that 50 years as a police officer is plenty, it’s time to retire sheriff.

  4. “free speech is free speech but it’s not without consequences,”

    SHERRIFF DUPNIK, I hope to GOD you find out first-hand the truth of that statement.

    I’ll pray for that personal enlightenment each day until you are on the street looking for work.

  5. …or, naturally, living high on the hog from your insane, ridiculous pension plan, which you have probably been padding for the last 40 years.

  6. The clip won’t play on my machine nor would another Mediaite clip I tried to watch a few days ago. I’m running Internet Exploder 8 on Windows Vista. Any suggestions, anyone?

  7. He just triple downed on Geraldo. He has had a day to reflect and hear complaints …No regrets what so ever for insulting millions of americans putting the blame on law abiding citizens instead of the assassin who by his own letter names himself as an ASSASSIN. This is not a “crazy split personality” like Travis from the movie taxi driver. He is a politically motivated assassin doing what he feels needed to be done to protect the communist movement in America .

  8. If Sheriff Clarence Dupnik,was doing his job it would have may a diff. All this happen right under his nose.He had to take back a lot of the stuff that he said happen because it didn”t happen. He was to busy trying to stir up trouble.He need to retired or be Fired.

  10. Really, avery. Where were the police. A congresswoman, who previously has received death threats on more than one occasion, holds an outdoor, public townhall meet-and-greet, and there’s not even ONE squad car?

    What gives, Sherriff? Why should you not be SUED?

  11. Dereliction of Duty?

    Slander?

    Libel?

  12. The sheriff is blind and deaf to the irony of his words.

  13. Still, listen to the deafening crickets from the Republican Party itself.

    Damn it’s quiet. You could hear a pin drop.

  14. Sheriff Dupnik’s salary is paid by Arizona’s taxpayers to keep the law and order and NOT to engage in politics.

  15. Accused of Murder, the Republican Party says nada.

    Ball-less, coward, chicken, p*&&y, sitzspinkler, nancyboy, pantywaste, useless soon-to-be-WHIGS.

  16. This clown is guilty of doing exactly what he is accusing the right of. Screw him

    This kid is not a D or and R he is an I … Insane Idiot.

    To make this political and use the deaths and suffering of these people is almost as sick as the muders

  17. Taq, I think they may be:

    1. In shock at Republican Judge Roll’s death, since the media and other outlets are making this an attempt on the congresswoman’s life and not really at all consider him.
    2. Giving them rope to hang themselves, which they are doing quite well.

    Dipstick is the Sheriff of Nottingham personified, and I am talking about the Disney interpretation.

    check this out, don’t recall reading the
    following anywhere else, but whatever
    ..

    “I planned ahead,”

    “My assassination”

    “One day [Loughner] started making comments
    about terrorism and laughing about killing the baby,”

    “A girl had written a poem about an abortion. It was very emotional and she
    was teary eyed and he said something about strapping a bomb to the fetus
    and making a baby bomber,”

    ==

  19. Sounds like this guys calling things the way they are. Ive never seen anyone so feverishly trying to call this guy a liberal dem them you clowns here. Evididence shows hes a right wing nut.

  20. She was shot on this sheriff’s watch. It’s despicable that he would blame the consequences of his incompetence on talk radio. In fact, maybe the incompetence of the sheriff would be a good subject for talk radio.

  21. What evidence, pete?

  22. Yes! County sheriffs telling we the people what to say and what to think. George Washington fought for that!!!

  23. LOL@22

    If I couldn’t laugh, I’d be in a fetal position, quite honestly.

  24. All the county sheriffs in Arizona are sane, hard working, and professional. Well all but one. He’s the only sheriff to be against 1070, and closing the boarder, in other words, he’s a political hack. Political hacks are dangerous, and should be eliminated from office through the ballot box.

  25. Sherrif dipstick needs to blame innocent americans for this assassination because he never did anything about this dangerous psycopath despite numerous public disturbances and complaints. The Sherrif protected this dog because he knew Jarod was a fellow a true believer commie comrad with parents on the state worker payroll. Mother could always call the Sheriff to get her boy out of trouble by reciting the mao mao oath of allegiance.

  26. At the press conference earlier today he went on a rant about Arizona’s gun laws too. He as much as called the AZ legislature irresponsible. I found it very improper.

  27. Yes! County sheriffs are empowered to order we the people what we may say and what we may think. SCOTUS Associate Justices Sotomayor and Kagan will show us where it says it in the Constitution. And, where it says Obama can order you to buy health care.

  28. This guy is an idiot.

    Hey AuntieMadder, download the Firefox browser. (to all you lidtards out there, it has NOTHING to do with Fox News!) geez……

  29. Holy Crap!

    I might not have believed it if I had not just witnessed the video myself. Sheriff Dupnik is really Sheriff Dumbass isn’t he? The more he talks, the more he tries to throw blame the more lunatic he sounds, complete with phony Democratic Party talking points about “foreign money” influencing political speech!

  30. Pete doesn’t need evidence, idiots only need to SAY there’s evidence.

  31. You could catch the shooter with a swastika tatooed on his rump, and waving a Russian flag, and pete would still say the evidence proves he’s a right wing nut. Give your poor brain a rest and get some professional help.

  32. Sherrif Dipstick is thowing out every cliche leftist talking point in the play book because he wants to replace Janet Reno as Homeland Security Chief.

    After banning guns, the leftists will not be happy until all metal silverware is banned and we are reduced to eating with rubberized sporks.

  35. We as conservatives don’t fight hard against these attacks, because we don’t believe that people will believe the accusations. Well a whole lot do, and it’s time to fight, that’s why we elected you. Get down and dirty as the filthy left is. Since the beginning of time all of this type disaster has been caused by the left, but to hear the left, the opposite is true.

  36. pete t (#19): “Sounds like this guys calling things the way they are. Ive never seen anyone so feverishly trying to call this guy a liberal dem them you clowns here. Evididence shows hes a right wing nut.

    How do you come here and post lie after lie and not feel embarrassed about it? Seriously. Don’t you have any character or self-esteem? Why do you want to keep giving saying people like Dupnik and Loughner are conservatives when they aren’t? Per usual, the “Evididence (sic.)” actually shows that you are lying.

    Dupnik’s a registered Democrat, said he wouldn’t enforce Arizona’s new immigration law to prevent undocumented immigrants from roaming the state, and likes to demonize people and laws he disagrees with as prejudiced, bigoted, and/or racist. He sounds like someone on the Left to me. So, your claim that all the “evidence shows he’s a right wing nut” is a lie, just like the Left’s ongoing lie that all “evidence shows (Loughner’s) a right wing nut.”

    Do you ever tire of being a complete tool, pete? Probably not because it apparently just comes naturally to you.

    Please know, all of what was pulled was not all published. Further

    Much of the information came from a source in Finland, and what-with
    so much translation time having been put into it already, much was
    left out until further research can be performed. Because other things
    are underway – unrelated to the incident – have to prioritize
    in-coming developments on other matters. Am I still interested in the

    If you wish to provide anything for my review, it will be
    confidentially researched further, after which you could be provided

    I do not assign myself to any ‘domestic matters’ whatsoever, however
    this case demonstrated unusually quick Russian foreign interests
    shortly after it occurred. Hence, the only reason why U saw it as
    worth being looked-into. An awful lot of unevaluated information still
    requires processing.

    Kind-of sucked into the middle of things, actually, spent some time on

  38. Why isn’t Sheriff Dupnik railing against Rap music, “Death of a President”, or McCaskill calling for pitchforks?

  39. if the posts here are what passes for informed political comment from the right, it is no wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket…you got posters equating naziism with Russia..(read a book! cheesus), and blaming him for not stopping a lone nut(in order to deflect examination/criticism of his motives)…DHS now says he is linked to WHite supremecist groups..that’s REAL liberal!… one thing for sure…the guy was crazy…good and innocent people were killed/harmed….what do we do now?

  40. That Sheriff is nothing more than a political operative. This disease we see in law enforcement throughout the USA is getting to be a bit absurd. Where in his job description does it say anything other than that he should investigate crimes with an open mind and come to conclusions that are based solely on the facts? But no, this guy has a totally preconceived idea about what caused that insane man to act out and he knows all the conclusions before he has examined the entire set of facts. And worse, he is willing to lecture people that aren’t members of his political party and deride them with his sanctimonious sermons about their guilt.

    He is totally in the dark about the boundaries of his position and it seems with respect to his position he is nothing more than a partisan incompetent big mouthed fool. Just wait for the appeals after the trial that challenge the conviction because this stupid sheriff went off half cocked, prejudiced the jury pool and failed to properly conduct the investigation with impartiality.

  41. Dupnik wants to go back to the time in American when politicians worked together, and when MalcolmX, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were all assassinated and the Weatherman Underground and SDS were blowing sh*t up? Is that the time he wants to go back to?

    Dupnik is an elected official. What does that say about the voters of Pima County, Arizona?

  42. Taqiyotomist 10#,I”sorry i left out a few words in the wrong place, I meant this happen right under his nose.He should be Fired.Megyn Kelly caught him in some lies also.

  43. So Democratic Party member Sheriff Dumbass, er Dupnik, has been elected and reelected Sheriff ever since 1980? What gives with the voters of his County?

    Time for a change I’d say. Hopefully a challenger will step up to overthrow that dangerous demagogue in the next election.

  45. The pettle calling the kot black. He did exactly what he said was being done to incite this, he completely demonstrated the kind of people behind this seconds after condemning it!

    Megyn gave him the rope beautifully and he hung himself while showing how the left truly are. Maybe back in the 1950′s, when he middle aged, politics were different and aren’t like today, but he is a man of the times and fits in with his Marxist ilk.

    A man like this in charge of the investigation might find some old trunk or a sack (kinda like Dimocrats who find a sack full of votes that give them the 200 or more lead they needed to win) that contains a bible, some Don’t Tread On Me T-Shirts, Rush’s books, Hannity’s books, Palin’s books, Levin’s books, Beck’s books, maybe some Ann Coulter and some Bush/Cheney stickers. I wouldn’t put it past this old lib because we all know Marx and Hitler were “Right-Wingers”, right?

    Orwell would be very proud of his books for moving from “fiction” to “non-fiction” to “current events” and eventually “history”.

    Man, are you intellectually dishonest. You come on here to lecture others about “informed political comment” and then misrepresent the DHS comment about the link between Loughner and white supremacist groups. Specifically, he is NOT definitively “linked,” but they are investigating possible links, which is a quite a difference from what you said. BTW, one of those purported links to American Rennaissance was found false earlier today. Worst of all, you ignore the vast amount of evidence from news reports today that points to Loughner as someone definitely on the Left side of the political spectrum, not the Right. For example, he is an atheist, dislikes the Constitution, laughs about abortion, smokes dope, is a 9/11 Truther, burns American flags, is called “quite liberal” by acquaintances, etc. So, yeah, he certainly appears to be a more of a liberal than a conservative despite your misleading uninformed political comments above.

    As for “what do we do now,” how about your side stop trying to falsely blame anyone for this tragedy other than the actual shooter. My guess is that he will be tried, hopefully convicted, and either executed or sent to prison for the rest of his life. Either way, I’m sure your side will continue to unethically and immorally use him as part of your anti-conservative, anti-Tea Party, anti-gun rights, anti-dissenting opinions propaganda for many years to come.

  47. Found the video of today’s comments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ru0ZCIpkY

    The gun related comments come at about 55 seconds in.

  48. Nevermind. The search was case-sensitive. I believe jainphx’s point was to state that Conservatives would be blamed despite overwhelming evidence that the violent unstable psychopath was anything but. You put words in his mouth.

    IT BEGINS.

    Indeed. The reason for it all, IMO.

  50. Slappy

    What amazes me are the lies, told bald-faced with no remorse, constantly, by the trolls who appear in each thread. Constant lies, no backup, no links.

    The Devil stalks the earth, proud head held high, surveying what is his. It won’t be for much longer, and he knows it, and he’s gonna take as many people down with him as possible.

    Call me nuts, but every knee will bow before the God of Israel, before Christ, in the end. This I know.

    And the fulfillment prophecies roll on, faster each day. When it comes it will be sudden — as in the days of Noah — but also as in those days, not without AMPLE WARNING.

  51. Well sheriff Do Dudley, now that you have outed yourself as a Politician first and LEO second, what are your plans for vacation? They say Cuba is nice this time of year and you should fit in nicely. How does someone in law enforcement reach your age and still be a complete whack job?

    Oh, your upset with the with the noise from the Right and yet have no comments on your own little commie bud Linda Lopez for some rather outlandish claims. How do you square that in your twisted mind? B/S

  52. Check the new threads.

    Fondly look back on the 1st and 2nd amendments, and the entire constitution.

    These pols are going to do whatever they want to do, moreso than during the past 2 years, and starting right now. They will make the last 2 years look like a halcyon, rosy past, when they get through with this.

  53. She didn’t exactly hit it out of the park on this interview. She was a little too easy on Sheriff Nudnik as far as I’m concerned

  54. Taqiyyotomist and Norm, I’ve got Firefox installed on our old laptop that’s running Windows 2000 and I really like it. It’s way better than Exploder 8 (or any version of Internet Exploder). But because Vista is a big, fat, bloated hog of an OS, there’s no room to install any other software on this one. (The hard drive on this machine is plenty large enough. However, the ol’ ball and chain should have reallocated space on each side of the partition before installing Vista but, like the oversized kid that he is, he got so danged excited over the new software that he installed it right away, instead, saying, “I’ll have to uninstall it and reallocate space and then install it again…after I see how we like Vista.” I knew in that moment, of course, that that would never happen. Kids…even those pushing 50…they’re all the same.)

    Anyway, your mention of plug-ins has inspired me to check and see if there’s a plug-in for Exploder that enable viewing Mediaite video clips. I’ll let you know.

  55. Whenever I see his name in text, I want to call him Sheriff Numbnuts.

  56. Concrete, let me ask you a question. If you could not get state ownership and control of the means of production, would you think that state control and private ownership of the means of production is second best.

    National Socialist is what they called themselves, the German fascists. Hitler instituted universal health care and other programs to provide “social justice” to workers. Well, Aryan workers that is. The state controlled business and industry and found many shovel ready projects for the state to support, but really did them as well: the Autobahn for instance.

    Now Stalin, he took total control of industry in Russia. But there were technocrats who ran the whole deal and in the end the means of production were controlled by an oligarchy similar in many ways to that in Germany. Stalin sought to bring social justice to workers, but not all groups were recipients of the pleasant side of his justice. Kulaks were the out group in Russia and died for the social justice of others as did Jews in Germany. The harsh racial component that Nazism brought to the table was missing in Stalins killings to be sure. He was more diverse in his efforts.

    But perhaps you can see how an unread man of the Right might see similarities between Nazism and Communism. Certainly they had no trouble reaching agreement about the necessity of kicking the crap out of the Poles.

    Actually I have read one book. I especially like the part where she serves fresh moose testicle sashimi to her appreciative family. Awwww…

  58. “It’s what makes the world go round and round??” You’re kidding, really??

    What have we learned?

    Hoplophobe/Communist morons make very stupid and dangerous sheriffs.

    Illegal drugs (Yes, incuding pot) should never be legalized nor treated lightly.

    Pima County! Kick that idiot out of your sheriff’s office!

  59. Now let’s present these facts to Pima Sheriff Dufus Boss Hogg and his astute investigation is that HE WAS TEA PARTY MEMBER…lol

    Let’s look at the facts.

    1) Was angry at the government in 2007 – WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE.

    2) Was a pot smoking drug taker.

    3) Was an Atheist with Satanic Leanings – not a Christian

    4) People who knew him said he was a RADICAL LIBERAL LEFTWINGER in 2007.

    5) Favorited a video of an American flag burning.

    6) Went to a Democratic gathering in 2007.

    7) kept a letter from the Democratic Congresswoman in his safe in 2007.

    8) Was a 9/11 truther.

    9) was crazy back in 2007.

    10) Hated the police.

    So far he is looking like a Palin supporter according the top notch investigation of the Dufus Sheriff of Pima County.

  60. What a despicable POFS. If we had a Sheriff like that in my county he would have been run out of town already.

  61. So Obama can turn the U.S. into a communist country and when the countrymen and women make a stink about it, it is somehow the fault of those men and women for sticking up for their rights as citizens? Democrats are really nuts.

  62. I couldn’t agree with the Sheriff any more. There is a problem with one party is standing in the way of the other from trying to make this a better country. I hope he’s able to tell the Democratic Party that they need to get out of the way and stop blocking the Republican Party from making this country better.

  63. Bobbi #38

    Thanks for the links! I read many of the comments from his blog, and it is clear where he stood politically. Especially telling is his statement that he is a friend of Raul Grivalja… not sure that’s an endorsement the man who supported a boycott of his own state because of immigration issues would want.

    I think that if it is true that he wrote to and corresponded (as well as contributed to) Giffords campaign, then he most certainly wrote to Grivalja as well, and there has to be records there. -No conservative or Republican would ever support Grivalja.

  64. It was refreshing to see how she was able to so respectfully make him look foolish.

  65. Pete, is Soros paying you?

  66. It is truly unbelievable to read the comments here. People simply ignore facts or change them to suit their agenda. The sheriff does NOT have a political agenda. He is saying that because this Loughner was completely crazy vitriolic speech specifically affects him more. There is no question that the references to violence come far far more often from the right (and don’t give the one example of Obama’s comment because it is not even close to numbering what comes from the right). And what? Is he supposed to wait and say okay now that everything has calmed down let’s tone down the rhetoric. We tone it down NOW. That’s what a wakeup call is folks, though most of you seem completely lost in the dark. Scares me what it means for the country.
