'That may be free speech, but it's not without consequences.'

[onehandle]

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik talking about the Paid Right Wing Media!

He said that as he was leaving the podium in Tucson.

He made several references to last year and 'vitriol.' "Arizona has become a Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

He was clearly no fan of teabaggers.

about the "vitriol on TV", and how it isn't without consequence... wow. that was great to hear.

2. It is directed at the right wing blathers only.

3. Go Sheriff! Call out the hate talkers

Those who make a living inflaming passions ..... that may be free speech but it is not without consequences.

4. He's my hero.

He may even be a Republican, but he's level headed and put the blame where it belongs on the talk vitriol out there.

5. He was truly amazing

I can't believe he was so honest about the media. Kudos to Sheriff Dupnik.

6. Kick and Rec! That was really terrific. Those same words need to be said more often!

7. It's so great to see someone finally, FINALLY, tell it like it is.

And he's doing it on live TV, so they can't bury it. Damn, that was extraordinary.

11. Let's see

How much the mainstream networks replay those comments over the weekend. Or, if they'll act like they didn't hear those comments.

12. This guy should be our next president.

16. Who wants to be President or anything else after today?

I wouldn't run for my local School Board after this.

[Initech]

18. That's exactly what they want.

19. That's one of the things the Sheriff said he's worried about. nt

[MichiganVote]

13. You said it Sheriff---Well said! End the careers of the hate talkers.

[Jim__]

14. It was good to hear someone speak the truth.

He did not mince words. We need to hear more of that from public officials.

[malaise]

15. I love him

What an honest man

[Bozita]

17. Translation: You fuckers in the corporate MSM need to start doing your fucking jobs

That's what he said.

[Barack_America]

20. The scary thing? They already are.

It is the corporate media, after all.

Their loyalty is not to us or fact or democracy, it's to profit.
