No, politics is and always has been a tough business. Don't forget at the turn of the century papers published all sorts of nasty, lying filth about politicians. Every generation thinks theirs is the most, fill in the bank. And they are usually wrong.

I think the Democrats have definitely created a climate of hate with their vitrol directed at those who are different from them (i.e. the rich, the religious, the conservative, or the hardworking)

He is right. I live in AZ and I can say he is right. I am not at all surprised this happened. What surprises me is why more of it hasn't happened.

This place is crazy. I want out but that's another story.

This woman's office was vandalized for voting YES on healthcare reform and she'd received threats. Guns abound here. I could get a gun with very little trouble if I wanted to - not so where I lived before.

Anyway, he was tapping into something larger but, for some reason, AZ seems to be getting a lot of attention for being some microcosm of the craziness that has ensued in the US. I think AZ deserves it.

Oh, and this state is very right wing so of course you are going to get the Sarah Palin, Glenn Bleck supporting kind of hate crap.

I think both sides of the political fence have spread the hate around ! Remember Palin's "in our scope" (Giffords was one of those "targeted")?

The sheriff says Arizona has become "the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

We all know who he's talking about...

The Pima County Sheriff is simply trying to divert from the clear fact that a U.S. Congressman was shot in his jurisdiction. Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik is simply a political hack with a badge.

Luckily it wasn't an illegal who did the shooting since Dupnik earlier made news saying he would not enforce Arizona's controversial immigration law.

Since when were Sheriffs politicians? Since when were sheriffs mental health professionals?

This guy needs to stop running his mouth and do his job. He needs to stay out of politics, stop speculating on the motives of criminal and DO HS JOB. Keep the public safe and start putting together a strong case against this cold blooded murderer.
