The Arizona Sheriff speaks out on the rhetoric in the media
From the Sheriff's press conference today:

"She cares what really happens in this country. She's not about Democrats or Republicans. She's not about politics. All she cares about is the United States of America.

Today, I want to tell you, I hope that all Americans are as saddened and as shocked as we are. An I hope that some of them ...or most of them are as angry as I am and as a lot of us are.

And I think it's time as a country that we need to do a little soul searching, because I think it's the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from, uh, people in the radio business and some people in the TV business and what we see on TV and how our youngsters are being raised... I think it's time we do the soul searching.

...

When you look at unbalanced people ... how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the govenment...the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately Arizona, I think, has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.

...

I think that people who are unbalanced are especially susceptible to vitriol."

1. He was probably a child during WWII and knows what Joesph Goebbels
did with propaganda. I was taught the evils of propaganda during world history class in H.S.
I would say most Tea Baggers never finished H.S.
