OBAMA PHONES SHERIFF DUPNIK – Thanks Him!
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 4:24 PM
You Just Knew This Was Coming…
Obama called the dishonorable Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik today to thank him.
This was after the sheriff made a fool of himself by blaming Rush Limbaugh, tea partyers and conservatives for the acts of a crazy man.
The Political Punch reported:
President Obama spoke today with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, families of some of the victims, Rep. Giffords’ Rabbi and two of the heroes that helped in the Arizona tragedy on Saturday.
In a phone call this afternoon with Sheriff Dupnik, according to White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro, the President “thanked him for his department’s efforts to respond to this incident and coordinate with the FBI and Director Mueller on the investigation.”
Additionally the president also spoke with Patricia Maisch and Roger Salzgeber, two of the heroes from the shooting.
Of course, the fact that Obama would call and personally thank this sheriff who has been wrong on everything since the tragedy started surprises no one.
Maybe he’ll get Gibbs’ job?

This is pretty substantial breaking information on the murderer:
http://volokh.com/2011/01/10/jared-loughners-anti-war-views/
“Now that Caitie Parker has been confirmed as a friend of Jared Lee Loughner’s, it seems relevant to ask whether Loughner was still a left wing radical, as he was when Caitie last saw him over two years ago. Among the clues are his apparent postings under the name Erad3 at Above Top Secret (ATS). That Erad3 and Loughner are one and the same is indicated by his cross-posting of some of the same material on both YouTube and ATS. In searching through Loughner’s posts as Erad3, several stand out.”
A few quotes follow, and then,
“And then there are his frequent attacks on religion and Christianity, e.g.:
Crap on God!
Crap on God!
Crap on God!
Talk to the toilet seat for a hour.”
Volokh states:
“From reading through page after page of Jared Lee Loughner’s rantings, I see no evidence that he has changed from the left winger that he was in 2007. Indeed, less than six months ago, he was calling the Iraq and Afghan Wars “war crimes” under the Geneva Convention.”
For what it’s worth.

Not surprised about Barry “Acted Stupidly” Obama.
Obama clearly concurs with Dipstick that the time for the Sheriff to investigate this mass shooting is later, and the time to blanket the airwaves to blame all casualties on the “vitriol” of conservatives is immediate.

Great “argument”, if you’d still be in kindergarten.
I know, I know.
Criticism = hate
This reminds me of how fascist Japan used to deal with things like this. The “theory” was like this: Let’s imagine for a second you aren’t taken in by the idea of a “divine emperor.” You are criticising the government. So, the argument now was: you are speaking against the state, thus you want to change the state, thus you are an enemy of the state.
The “logic” is similar. Once you speak out against the Obama government, you want to change the Obama government, thus you are an enemy of the Obama government.

And don’t be sad. When you’re sad, it makes us all cry.

Obama probably called him to ask him if he knew about Loughner’s previous threats and to tell him to shut his mouth. He and the rest of the liberal media are making fools of themselves.

Gee, it’s been three days. What took Obama so long? Doesn’t he just make you all warm and fuzzy inside with his concern? What? Fort What? Oh, yeah, can anyone remember Obama calling the families who lost loved ones to the radical Muslim who shot up Fort Hood and MURDERED 13 of my fellow Texans? What’s that you say? He didn’t? Did he call the husband of the deputy sheriff that took down Nidal Hassan and stopped the carnage? No, you say? Did he call her minister? Her mother? Her father?
The emperor has no clothes, folks. But hey, I understand why he didn’t call those Fort Hood families. After all, the ones who survived will probably wind up in a war zone anyway.
Seems he has had a change of heart, considering he was too damn busy recently to call the mother of a fallen hero who gave his life for this country serving in Afghanistan.

There is nothing wrong with the President commending the department for working with the FBI etc. Why make the leap and assume that the President was commending the Sheriff for his opinions. Sure the President is a partison and not a very good President but he doesn’ deserve to be blamed for something he did not do.
Henry Hawkins commented:
The FBI is heading up the investigation. Thanking Dupnik is pure politics, a reward for saying what many leftist pols would say if they dared.
If Loughner goes to trial in federal court (as opposed to pleading guilty), Sheriff Dupnik can expect to be subpoenaed by the defense and to spend a lot of time in a motel nearby waiting to be called and recalled as a witness. With his words to the media Dupnik has provided Loughner with evidence that Loughner is legally insane, and worse, that Loughner’s motives cannot be determined, ever. The prosecution needn’t prove motive to prove murder, but it is always a good thing to present the jury/judge with motive if one is evident. Now the defense can put Dupnik on the stand to repeat his opinion as the Sheriff of the immediate jurisdiction and integral part of the investigation early on that Loughner was deeply disturbed and that we will never know his true motives.
donh commented:
I believe this is a LIE. Obama called to let Sherrif Dipstick know the importance of Wednesday’s funeral. Obama’s whole administrative re-election is riding on Christina Taylors funeral, and Sherriff Dipstick is messing the up the entire narrative. The “thank you” is just a face saving PR message. Dipstick will now exit stage left.

If the reports are true that the shooter had made threats in the past and this sheriff covered it up or didn’t pursue it because the shooters relative works for the county. The sheriff has been wrong on everything since before the tragedy started . And also explains why he is blaming others for this tragedy.

If those on the Left truly believed Rush Limbaugh, tea partyers and conservatives are to blame for inciting violence, wouldn’t criticizing them for inciting violence cause they themselves to be a target of said violence?

But if you’re going to research it on the internet, hurry up, because we’re going to shut the internet down soon.

[Ayers served as co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one of the two operational arms of the CAC. Klonsky served with Ayers and Ayers' wife, former Weatherman terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn, in the Students for a Democratic Society group, a major leftist student organization in the 1960s that later splintered, with Ayers and Dohrn leading a more activist approach via the Weatherman Underground. Klonsky reportedly gravitated toward less violent but equally revolutionary methods in the struggle to overthrow capitalism. By 1977, Klonsky had become leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party, identified himself as a Maoist, and traveled that year to Beijing, where he met with Chinese leaders. ]

Stan_in_KS commented:
What you meant to report was that Obama called Dupnik and thanked him for analyzing all the well documented threats to the Congresswoman and for performing his primary responsibility to keep her safe by placing one of his best deputies at the event to watch out for crazy assassins that were known to be in the area and making death threats, and by performing his duty so well he prevented 20 people from getting shot! Because that IS his responsibility and job description and it appears he was too busy complaining about tea parties to do his job. Or does Obama think Dupnik’s primary job is to be a Democratic Party Spokesperson focused on bashing his dislike of the rights give to us by our CREATOR including 1) free speech, 2) the right to carry a weapon to protect your self from these crazies, 3) anything said by a Republican or Conservative and 4)peaceful assembly to redress our grievances with laws that violate the Constitution. I thought both Dupnik and Obama were supposed to protect the Constitution and the citizens who have assembled peacefully. Who IS the first line of self defense to protect me and my family from crazy mass murderers anyway? Oh yeah….. gun owners have figured that out. The Police investigate and prosecute the criminals, gun owners stop the criminals from committing the crime. Average police response time to your location will be 15+minutes after you call. How long it took this crazy to shoot 20 people, less than 30 seconds! You might notice that none of the 911 calls released have the sounds of gunshots in the background. Everyone was wounded or dead by the time the 911 operator answered the first call for help. I’m sure the proposed law to keep guns 1,000 feet from a Congressman would not have stopped this act, but it would have disarmed the only people in the area that might have kept it from being 40 or 50 wounded and dead. He broke 30 laws to do this, do you think 31 would make a difference?

[Cross-posted at Ace-o-Spades] Dupnik’s scared sh*tless about the inevitable investigation into his role in the complaints against Loughner. So why call attention to himself by being so vocal? That seems counterproductive. Here’s his strategy: He’s deliberately cozying up the the most powerful guy around—AliBama—by doing his dirty work for him, in exchange for protection. It’s working: AliBama calls to thank him and pledge his support: together, they’ll find a fall guy. Moreover, if the investigation indicts him, he can claim it’s politically motivated by a bunch of right-wing thugs seeking revenge for Dupnik pointing out that they are all a bunch of haters.

A Little Reminder of Democratic Party Piety:
Excerpts: PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON’S REMARKS TO THE PEOPLE OF RWANDA (March 25, 1998)
“…4 years ago in this beautiful, green, lovely land, a clear and conscious decision was made by those then in power that the peoples of this country would not live side by side in peace.
The Government-led effort to exterminate Rwanda’s Tutsi and moderate Hutus … the killers … armed mostly with machetes and clubs …
It is important that the world know that these killings were not spontaneous or accidental … They were most certainly not the result of ancient tribal struggles. Indeed, these people had lived together for centuries…
These events grew from a policy aimed at the systematic destruction of a people. The ground for violence was carefully prepared, the airwaves poisoned with hate, casting the Tutsis as scapegoats for the problems of Rwanda, denying their humanity. All of this was done, clearly, to make it easy for otherwise reluctant people to participate in wholesale slaughter.
We cannot change the past, but we can and must do everything in our power to help you build a future without fear and full of hope.
We owe to those who died and to those who survived … our every effort to increase our vigilance and strengthen our stand against those who would commit such atrocities in the future, here or elsewhere. Indeed, we owe to all the peoples of the world who are at risk because each bloodletting hastens the next as the value of human life is degraded and violence becomes tolerated, the unimaginable becomes more conceivable—we owe to all the people in the world our best efforts to organize ourselves so that we can maximize the chances of preventing these events. And where they cannot be prevented, we can move more quickly to minimize the horror.
So let us challenge ourselves to build a world in which no branch of humanity, because of national, racial, ethnic, or religious origin, is again threatened with destruction because of those characteristics of which people should rightly be proud. Let us work together as a community of civilized nations to strengthen our ability to prevent and, if necessary, to stop genocide.”

“Raising Hell in Arizona: Shaking Hands with the Devil ” – Sonoran Alliance Blog (September 2010)
“Arizonans may search, but they will find no one in the Democratic Party willing or interested in defending the rights of the PEOPLE. If a catastrophe like Rwanda leaves Democrats from school boards, to town councils, to city councils, to mayors, to representatives, to president publically repentant, but privately uncaring and unchanged, how puny and insignificant the squeaks from some U.S. state must seem in comparison.
But the issue at heart is a hostile Federal Government’s mis- use of Federal power levers, rank public pilloring, destructive boycotts, negative propaganda and pure demonization to upend a normal, correct and fair law-making by duly elected state officials. Arizona has done nothing wrong, has nothing to be ashamed of or is guilty of anything. Unknowingly, Arizona evidently seriously disturbed a Democratic Party national political plan. With no legitimate means to stop Arizona, the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party have chosen poorly; isolating the target, personalizing the target and now seek to destroy the target. Radical Saul Alinksy wrote those words and he dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals” to “Lucifer.” Yes, that Lucifer, the Devil.
Arizona’s stand then is not just to protect her lawmakers, her law enforcement officers and her people, but to stand for Rule of Law against anarchy, to stand firm for what’s good and right against those who would carelessly break it all to pieces.

To be clear: I do not like the Sheriff’s comments in the various interviews he has made. And I firmly believe he went beyond the bounds of his role as a Sheriff. He was supposed to remain objective and speak only to those facts that he could articulate w/o impacting the evidence gathering portion of the case.
THAT BEING SAID: I am going to play devils advocate
Did anyone EVERY think that perhaps the actual investigators from the Sheriff’s dept who are on the case are doing a stand up job?? And that their efforts, combined with the needed exchange of information with the FBI, are something to be commended for???!! The Sheriff himself be dammed . . .I’d call to say thank you to the department and all those personnel who are working 24/7 right now to build a SOLID and CREDIBLE case against the shooter.
Therefore – while I myself like NONE of the politics as espoused by this Sheriff and our President . . . I chose to believe that, on behalf of those who are ACTUALLY working the case, a sincere THANKS is warranted.
Think about that.

Obama could have said the police acted stupidly, but the Sheriff was not acting.
Organizations, like fish, rot from the head down. With Doofnik at the helm, it’s not likely that a thorough investigation would be done.. After all, HE is the one who should be the focus of the investigation, and I’m sure he won’t sign off on that.
The Feds are there now, and it looks like Douchenik is just blabbing on talk shows.

what we don’t know can’t hurt US, right??
i ehat the Elites, i truly do..
i believe they are trying to stir revolution between the classes,
etc, so that we don’t come after them with pitchforks.. ergo..
Obama wasn’t totally lying when he said he was standing between US
and the CEO’s.. he just plumb forgot to tell us that the CEO’s work for
the Elites, which is why the bonuses have never ceased, nor will they..

Nina, isn’t it the sheriff’s duty to inform the public of his subordinate’s activities regarding the case. Instead, he uses his time in front of the camera to make politically provocative statements. Your ire is misdirected.

That is the issue with the actions of the sheriff. A Sheriff Department is a very political institution. Anytime your career can be at risk because of your political believes job performance is hampered IE do you have a axe to grind, or are you protecting the boss. Any work by his staff will be questioned from either side. His actions have tainted the investigation.

Liberty at Stake,
I feel I have entered a bizarro world: there’s an evil, authoritarian sheriff, brown shirts galore, and a fuhrer-esque president, and they all are liberals.
Next thing you’re going to tell me is that Republicans champion the environment, Democrats are limiting the rights of gays, and Ann Coulter is sane.

Can Obama scrape any lower?
He references M. Vick (puke).
This dipstick sheriff who should be fired.
Obama and his nutjob allies: Ayers, Wright, Van Jones, Jarret, Jennings, Dohrn, Odinga, Phlaeger, Khalidi, his wife… etc. Terrorists, killers, racists, hate mongers, anti-american, communists, marxists. Ah, Obama. He SUCH a great man, with so much character and so much integrity. /sarc
It’s as if every left is in love with this murdering psycho Loughner. What is wrong with these people?
Obama the thug in chief.
Obama the intimidator and instigator.
Obama the liar in chief.
But, rest assure, we will calmly, and without the violence of the left (Obama’s regime of ACORN, SEIU, and the like) continue to spread the truth, and vote this bum out.
VeryConcerned commented:
Obama shows his character. Always against the good people, always a slave to the evil people and groups. 2 more years and he will no longer be in government housing. Counting the days.
“This is madness! No! This is Barack Obama’s America!”
TheGoodGuy Dave commented:
The Sheriff was right. By the way, he was not blaming it directly on Rush. He was actually point a reference to your girl Palin. But Rush responded knowing that you too is guilty. People need to stop and think instead allowing themselves to be brainwashed by racism, bigotry and ignorance.

It gives me the creeps thinking of that oldie communist guy masturbating -like Chris Matthews- while listening to SOBama’s Teleprompted voice on the phone.

Let me be clear, I am grateful for Partisan Democrats who take the time to capitalize on a crime in their own neighborhood.
Its not often a senior law enforcement official scuttles an on going murder investigation to blame Republican Sara Palin – who is my main political opponent.
Sure, Sheriff Dipstik could have provided some police security for Congresswomen Giffords – but he did not. Oh well, there no sense in crying over spilled blood…er…spilled milk. We must blame Sarah Palin! Thank you Sheriff Dipstik!
My limousine is running and I have a talking points meeting with George Soros and Bill Ayers. I am re-reading Alansky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ and I know it can make it work this time around. Good day.
Radegunda commented:
Echo, I don’t call them liberals. I call them leftists, the inventors of totalitarianism.
Dupnik complained that not only are people publicly criticizing Democrat leftists — they’re even voting against Democrat/leftist policies in Congress!! The nerve!! Dupnik obviously thinks it’s very, very bad to criticize Democrats or vote against them.
In the 1990s, Democrats began to define “hate speech” as mean essentially any public criticism of Democrats or their policies. Democrats use the notion of “hate speech” as a way to delegitimize any dissent. It’s the leftist way.
It isn’t conservatives who try to suppress the speech of people they disagree with. It’s leftists and Democrats who do that.
Nina commented:
@DT #94 and @Rock #97
I agree on both points. Yes, the Sheriff has tainted the investigation by his partisan jabs. However, in an investigation like this . . the Sheriff would’ve served the community and the investigative process as a whole to make one statement and then assign a PIO to make future statements. But, since he’s such a fan of the microphone – that won’t happen.
That being said . . . a sincere thanks is owed to all those who are ACTUALLY working the investigation and trying to do their very best in spite of the stupidity issuing from the Sheriff and whatever political motivation the President has.

Leftists like Obama (“they bring a knife and we bring a gun”) are all for freedom of speech until it conflicts with their views.
DigitalTroglodyte commented:
Fine, why not express your appreciation in a comment, and leave it at that? Most here are pro-law enforcement, and would respond in an affirmative fashion. But to come here and take on a critical tone for not proper recognition of Sheriff Dupnik subordinate’s efforts is ridiculous. I’m sure you have your reasons, but whatevs…rant on.
Radegunda commented:
#110, the reason for our “rant” is that Dupnik (among many others) continues to slander ALL of us who happen to disagree with his politics, whether by words or by votes in Congress.
The president who on some occasions pretends to want to unite Americans, and who after the Fort Hood shooting insisted that we shouldn’t “rush to judgment,” has not uttered one whisper of criticism of Dupnik’s reckless rush to judgment and his despicably divisive and dishonest rhetoric. That is undoubtedly because he shares Dupnik’s totalitarian view and his wish to silence all political opposition.
DigitalTroglodyte commented:
I think you are misinterpreting my response to Nina’s comment. She’s criticizing us for not expressing our appreciation for Sheriff Dupnik’s subordinates. I replied by writing that I thought that was the Sheriff’s job to credit those under him with their fine work. He’s the one in front of the camera with the microphone who can best state the appreciation Nina wants.
I suggested she express her appreciation in a comment. I believe most here would agree in their response to her remarks. If there is anything in my statements that gave you the impression that I agree with ANYTHING that Sheriff Dupnik has said, point it out and I’ll gladly apologize.
