Has Limbaugh met his match
It's funny but maybe this sheriff will take him down. Limbaugh is trying to use his bluster against a law enforcement official who is just a sheriff. A man who is not a media guy who like all policemen actually works every day just trying to catch criminals. A guy who is not political who toils in a job that is true public service. Policemen always seem to know who the murderer is. They always know who is a "person of interest". Every time Limbaugh tries to paint him as a politician it just makes Limbaugh look like a jerk. Here's hoping.

2. Sheriff Dupnick IS America's Sheriff--
i hesitate to say that, because Mike Corona ( Sheriff in Orange Cty, CA) was termed America's Sheriff at one time ---and he fell hard...

but Dupnik IS the best!

3. I'm lovin' it.
Look at Rush and then Dupnik and you'll see that only one has actually worked for his living.

4. No, but his heart, liver and kidneys may have.
But at least he was having protected sex while violating his parole in the Dominican Republic.

5. Limbaugh's match is the festering cyst on his ass that he used to avoid the draft. n/t

6. I liked Keith O's question to Dupnik
The last one tonight during the interview when KO asked if Dupnik felt it was his job to express his observations about the media in the service of his citizenry. That's a paraphrase. He may have asked Dupnik if he felt it was his job to explore the reasons why such terrible things happen.

Dupnik's response was that he did see that as his legal obligation.

Talk about using a judo move and it was the truth, too. Dupnik is taking down the right wing powerhouse media with some straight talk.

12. Dupnik is a threat to Limbaugh.
A law and order guy that sees Rush as the problem, not the solution. Of course, Rush is a well known narcotics junkie with questionable sex trips to the DR, so I'm not really surprised that he'd have a problem with an honorable man who calls Rush on his bullshit.

13. Yes he finally has


In a true "Free Market" Rush would not even be on the air.

Think about it: if the majority in this nation voted for Obama, why would they want to listen to the HateObamaFest 24/7?

They wouldn't. So it's not the Free Market at play on our nation's airwaves, it's Corporate-sponsored propaganda. Rush is artificially propped up and profanely supported by very wealthy people who want to grow even more obscenely wealthy.

But their gig is up.

His ratings are already in the toilet, and half of those are merely due to no other voice in the particular market.

We should be having a discussion on restoring the Fairness Doctrine right now. The Corporations have pushed this hatred and violence and disruptive political mentality - just as they push war and torture and imprisonment - to murderous levels and it's time we took OUR airwaves back from their malevolent influence.

15. You'd think a SHERIFF would know more about what's going on in his community
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 09:23 PM by Canuckistanian
Like who's violent, what the local political situation is, who's causing the most trouble with inflammatory statements, etc.

Some blowhard New York radio guy with NO local experience is going to tell you how things REALLY are?

Don't think so.
