tucson: This guy is a democrat. He just blamed the Republican party for recent heated debate(funny how nothing mentioned about the liberals behavior during the Bush admin). I think he honestly believes the Tea Party caused this(in which there is not 1 piece of evidence that shows this guy is political - it looks like he is a lone wack-job). Doesn't this seem wrong? Are we giving this wacko too much credit?|||a liberal Arizona sheriff ha good one. I did not hear him say anything about republicans, just inflammatory rhetoric, whats the matter starting to realize that words have consequences? your type should feel guilty.|||Is it tasteful? No. It was speculation at a point when no facts were available. And the facts turned out to be a mentally disturbed person acted alone and it had nothing to do with anything any party did. He is hired to carry out law enforcement in his County and speculating about motive absent of facts is not doing his job.|||The Sheriff was a witness to the Tea Party's targeting of Gabrielle Giffords. He is probably just as sick of the hate rhetoric as most other Americans are regardless of their party affiliation..|||Its as natural as breathing that a Dem or Lib or Progressive to lay blame on anything which is not them .|||no, it was pure partisanship if he had been speaking as a law enforcement officer instead of as a politician, at that point in the investigation, his only response would have been "no comment"|||It's ok. This guys defense attourney is going to take his comments and make them all very sorry they even opened their mouth. I'd be surprised if the District DA hasn't already called to ream him.|||The only one bring attention and giving credit is you.|||you are the wacko, and also an uneducated moron. the tea party is the ku klux klan clothed in 2011 style|||Who else are you going to believe? The Sheriff of the county who has lived where the attack occurred for 75 years? Or Faux News?|||IT IS THE REPUBLICANS FAULT, AND GOOD FOR HIM TO CALL IT LIKE IT IS FINALLY SANITY PREVAILS...YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH|||The truth is never painful to those who respect it.|||No. I am glad someone is speaking out...Arizona has become a hot seat of hate speech, and racist crap.|||NO SINCE A GOP TEA BAGGERS DID THE HORRIFIC CRIMES|||Yes. He is speaking the Truth.
