Arizona sheriff opines

I'm watching the interview with Clarence Dupnik, Pima County, Arizona sheriff and I am shocked that although he claims to know nothing about the deranged shooter of a Congresswoman and a judge and 18 others, he seems to believe the cause is vitriol, prejudice and bigotry on radio and TV. Hmmm. Since people never see themselves in those accusations, I guess that's code for Rush and Glenn, but not for all the TV shows and movies that depict politicians and police and military as criminals at best, or the personification of evil at worst. Apparently, his calling the Arizona immigration law racist isn't considered vitriol. Think of all the Law and Order type shows where the theme is a corrupt judge or politician, or a religious person, or a respected member of the professional community. Are we to think that this genre that brings in millions of dollars has no effect on unstable people? The sheriff would seem to be in favor of limiting free speech because some unstable person might hear. This sheriff keeps saying in response to questions, "I'm not at liberty to talk about it," and if so, I wish he'd keep his hyper-opinions about "vitriol" to himself until he has some evidence. It could be this shooter-idiot is a fan of Katie Couric and Jon Stewart and hates Sarah Palin! He was rejected for military service--maybe the sheriff should look into that as his reason for hate.
