Race to the bottom. Malkin: Sheriff could have prevented shooting if he wasn't so liberal
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 01:33 PM by ck4829
Michelle Malkin today called Dupnik “The Worst Sheriff in America” and condemned his “vulture-like exploitation of the shooting rampage.” Dupnik, who has spoken out against the role of violence and hate mongering in politics, has found himself in the crosshairs of conservative pundits and politicians. Now, Malkin seeks to blame the Sheriff for the shooting and accuses him of seeking publicity for himself and attempting to “criminalize conservatism”:

"Dupnik's mouth has done more to stoke self-inflicted ire against elected government clowns than anything the right could muster against him. Had the hyper-partisan Democrat been more in tune with his job than the media airwaves, the murderous, maniacal gunman might have been stopped.

The worst sheriff in America is walking in the footsteps of another infamous law enforcement official who put fame, ambition and ideology above public safety: disgraced Montgomery County (Md.) Police Chief Charles Moose, the publicity-hungry Keystone Cop who grossly bungled the Beltway sniper attacks in 2002.

Dupnik is now following the same ill-gotten path. But decent Americans understand that he and his civilian counterparts have traveled a smear too far. Despite desperate attempts by the progressive left to pin the massacre on the "harsh tone" of its political opponents, a vast majority of Americans reject the cynical campaign to criminalize conservatism, suppress political free speech and capitalize on violent crime for electoral gain."

There's projection and then there's, well, I don't even know what to call this.

1. WE all need to back this guy up and help him defend himself
The right wing media machine will attack him beyond belief and this is just round one.

He dared to speak the truth against and they don't like it one bit.

2. Nothing more vicious than an animal that knows it is cornered...
The Sheriff got it 100% right, and as usual, this self-loathing anchor-baby got it 100% wrong.

4. Why is karma so slow in coming to people like her?
This horrid creature has earned every bit of her negative karma, whenever it finally arrives.

6. Karma is always slow
When it comes to evil people. Look at Cheney as a prime example!

5. Wow...I don't think any righty talker can speak about anything without anger.
I've never heard one of them just discuss an issue with their audience. It's always how much they hate someone or something..or they humiliate and degrade others who don't march in lockstep with them. It's getting ridiculous.

9. He says somethin she doesn't like so now he's "the worst sheriff in America"? Really?
Worse than one who might be takings bribes or collecting kickbacks from criminals, say? Wow. Who knew irritating Michelle Malkin was such a grave matter?

11. Malkin is a vitriholic.
Who knew when the calls went out for civility they'd amp it up to this degree?

They may think they're protecting their brand, but this shit is becoming ridiculous.

We need to shout-out to the remaining sane Republicans - there IS an alternative.

and, not surprisingly, they're right wing media whores.

18. pseudo eloquence
"ill-gotten path", "a smear too far"; both phrases sound like someone trying to write good when they really ain't good at it. Ritin' that is.

21. Sharron Angle says she won't "belong" to the media ploy
of blaming political rhetoric for the shootings.

All of these right wing populist women sound like they need ESL coaching. Maybe it's purposeful.

15. They are scared animals right now, and it is going to get worse.
They are amping up the rhetoric minute-by-minute.

I will be very (pleasantly) surprised if there isn't at least one more violent attack in the next few weeks.

19. I wondered why I hadn't heard from Malkin in awhile.
It takes a national tragedy for her to ooze out of the depths, I guess...
