Max, since you're a big fan of hypocrites, how about this clown.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/arizona-sheriff-blasts-rush-limbaugh-spewing-irresponsible-vitriol/story?id=12583285

"'The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information,' Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said today. '[Limbaugh] attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences.'"

Uhhh Sheriff, at this point there has been no information that Jared Loughner ever listened to Rush Limbaugh, ever saw the Salin Palin website or ever heard any other inflammatory political rhetoric directed at Gabrielle Giffords.  Actually, all we know to this point is that he liked reading Mein Kampf, the Communist Manifesto and Peter Pan. 

Isn't the good Sheriff you using the exact same sort of "partial information" or "wrong information" that he accuses Limbaugh of using?  Isn't he attacking Limbaugh?  Angering people against Limbaugh?  If Limbaugh is physically attacked, do we get to hold the sheriff responsible?

On a completely different direction, shouldn't a law enforcement representative be a little less politically motivated and a little more impartial?  There was a federal judge killed in this attack.  Could you imagine if a member of the federal judiciary was making these comments?



The Arizona Republic nails it

"Dupnik needs to recall that he is elected to be a lawman. With each additional comment, the Democratic sheriff of Pima County is revealing his agenda as partisan, and, as such, every bit as recklessly antagonistic as the talk-show hosts and politicians he chooses to decry."
