1. Which is why the Palins moved there????? n/t

9. The Palins did not move there.

Bristol Palin has.

2. This is going to change things in this country.

He's going after RW hate radio and TV too.

IMO this news conference is ripping the whole tea party mentality to shreds. It's over.

7. It took a tragedy like this but I appreciate him not mincing his words

This kind of plain speaking is what the country needs. No convoluted spinning but plain words laying it on the line.

3. Correction: "AMERICA has become Mecca for prejudice and bigotry"

5. Fuck, no. Not even close. Not by a long shot.

13. I hope you're right. We sit by and allow these things to happen and aren't outraged

We sat by while members of Congress were spat upon and weren't outraged.

I hope you're right.

16. Another point on this: Secret Service just reported that Obama has received

FOUR TIMES the death threats of Bush, and has been the target of violent threads more than any other president.

8. As goes Arizona goes America. It's everywhere and I appreciate that the Sheriff is not afraid to

tell the truth.

[tabatha]

10. I applaud him for saying that.

It is obvious that he is fed up with the likes of Rush, Beck, etc.

11. This guy is made of stern stuff. Good for him. People need to hear the truth.

I'm sure he'll get a ton of blowback, but he's clearly a man of character.

12. It's true. I lived in AZ for 6 years. Most racist place I've ever seen.

People dropped racial epithets like they were going out of style.

And many people I knew there were openly bigoted towards some group of people - they didn't even bother trying to hide it.

14. I loved that guy. I tend to think this is more about the state of mental healthcare

But I admire this man's message because even if one excludes today's events (as I am prone to do) he is absolutely right.

15. Forgot to add. I'd love to send the sheriff flowers.
