The sheriff did not name right wing radio. It was a blanket statement.
So why are their panties in such a wad? The only answer is that they know the sheriff is right. Without their ability to degrade the democrats and the white house over everything they deem as wrong they would cease to exist. With them, it is always about hatred, anger, and name calling. Limbaugh just said after playing a statement from the sheriff that he was talking about me (Limbaugh). By the way, Boortz said the same thing. It was him that they were talking about. Limbaugh makes about 1.2 million a month for three hours a day. To put a muzzle on him and tone him down would be the end of his show and he knows it.
All the taking right wing heads have to be able to spew the hatred because that is what their listeners want to hear. How long would people listen to any of them if they just stuck to the issues without name calling.

Obviously, there are a million more pressing issues today, but here's an e-mail comment from
KQTH FM 104.1 talk-show host Jon Justice in response to Dupnik's press conference editorializing
about the polarizing role of talk radio.

Recognizing this is probably Dupnik's toughest day, and emotions understandable, Dupnik
has focused on this belief in the past as well, and has singled out Justice, although he probably
includes the likes of Glenn Beck in the mix as well. He editorialized at least twice, maybe
three times, on the topic.

Here's the Justice e-mail response:

I feel incredibly bad for our brave Pima County Sheriff’s Officers who have
to serve under Clarence Dupnik. Within hours of the horrific shooting that took
place at the congresswoman’s event Dupnik was telling local media that talk
radio and the media was partly to blame, only to repeat his statements again
during the press conference that was receiving national attention. We have no
idea at this point the motivation of this murderer’s act. Yet Dupnik took his
moment in the spotlight to drive a political wedge into the event. They were
reckless and dangerous statements made by someone who should have known
better. He should have been using his time to help bring the community together.
Instead his statements made Tucson appear to be a city full hate, bigotry and vitriol.
To say, as Dupnik did, that comments made on the airwaves essentially motivated
this person to commit this crime is exactly what he blamed talk radio of doing,
inciting through pure rhetoric. It was complete misuse of his power and he owes
the media in town, TV and radio, an apology for his horrible comments in the middle
of such a tragic day. He should step down immediately from his position as Pima County Sheriff.

Here are two parts on an interview with local RW talker, Jon Justice, 104.1 FM
There will give you an idea how long Dupnik has been fighting the heat from radio:

5. I listened to half of the interview with the Sheriff
the conservanazi talking head is an idiot. All he tries to do is insult and try to confuse the Sheriff during his answers.

The tactics of a conservanazi hate talker.

7. All their rhetoric has been recorded,,, their lying will not work
and it will strengthen Americans disdain of the right and the GOP itself.
