Kyl: Arizona Sheriff's Remarks Inappropriate
Brian Beutler | January 9, 2011, 11:50AM


In a Sunday morning appearance on Face the Nation, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-AZ) took issue with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who criticized Arizona hours after the Giffords shooting.

"I didn't really think that that had any part in a law enforcement briefing," Kyl said.

In a candid moment at a press conference on Saturday, Dupnik said his state had become ground zero for the sort of political rhetoric that foments violence.

"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous," Dupnik said. "And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

With that remark, ironically, Dupnik has become the target of just the sort of rhetoric he was decrying.

[spanone]

[musette_sf]

3. Yes, to Kyl

[gateley]

[Caretha]

22. Self delete

[gateley]

4. I think Dupnik is right on - everything in his statement is factual. nt

[Lint Head]

5. Shut the fuck u[p Kyl! You have no jurisdiction or power over this

Sheriff or the damn truth!

[Chimichurri]

7. Sen Kyl is exactly what Sheriff Dupnik spoke about. What a typical selfish right winger.

[underpants]

Also- remember that "left leaning" was one quote from one person in the first story and it is being cemented in every story now.

[Suji to Seoul]

9. Jon. . .you are the worst example of a troglodyte anywhere. . .and that is an

insult to troglodytes.

[Rex]

10. That is okay, he can go Fuck Himself into oblivion.

[liberal N proud]

11. Kyl is dong everything he can to steer away from the truth

The truth that this violence could be incited by the right wing rhetoric.

[NNN0LHI]

12. Guess we can see why cable wouldn't show the replay now

They got orders from their Republican masters, "Keep a lid on the sheriffs comments.", and they cooperated fully.

23. We can only hope, then, that a copy is posted on YouTube.

I wouldn't mind seeing it a few dozen more times, or sharing it around.

[demodonkey]

14. Thank you Sheriff Dupnik; you are a truth-teller! nt

[bluethruandthru]

15. I'm wondering how long before Kyl "demands an apology" from Dupnik.

The righties are always demanding everyone else apologize for what they do. ...unless it's other righties! Then NEVER have to apologize.

[Angry Dragon]

16. He(kyl) is totally wrong again

"I didn't really think that that had any part in a law enforcement briefing," Kyl said.
It is up to law enforcement to determine the cause of a crime. That is what the sheriff was doing
in his statement.

[RichGirl]

17. The sheriff was innoppriate!

Did he mention the vitriol remarks made by his fellow republicans being inappropriate???

I'm sick of so many saying those remarks come from both sides of the aisle. If anyone knows of any democrat who ever made gun references directed at republicans or the like...please share!

[eleny]

18. Evidently, Kyl is feeling the heat!

Dupnik isn't letting this go for Kyl's and the rest of the right wing's convenience - so Kyl is bleating.

Good for Dupnik who hammered his point home again in the press conference that ended a few moments ago.

[Takket]

19. oh come on!

The potential motive for a mass murder has no place in a law enforcement briefing? What an effing idiot. I feel like moving to AZ just so I cn vote against this scum sucking bastard

[emulatorloo]

20. Kyl is defending Hate Radio? How interesting. . .n/t

[City Lights]

21. Vile Kyl has been, is, and will always be inappropriate.

He is an asshole of the highest order.
