Arizona’s horrible old white people have responded in exactly the way you’d imagine to the Tucson Massacre that took the lives of six people — including a federal judge and a little girl — and gravely injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and eight others, all for the sin of taking part in an American political get-together at a Safeway in a strip mall. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is a popular Democrat who has won election eight times, but then he had the nerve to say that all the crazy gun nuts shooting everybody in Arizona is more proof that the wingnut state is “a mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” And a bunch of Tea Party fanatics (who mostly own gun stores) have told important Tucson newspaper The Washington Times that Dupnik has gone too far! He must be recalled!
Here, from the Moonie pamphlet:
Now it’s Sheriff Dupnik who finds himself on the public-opinion hot seat. A group opposed to illegal immigration has begun an effort to recall the sheriff in a special election. Meanwhile, a Pima County tea party group is planning on holding a “Dump Dupnik” rally next week outside his office.
“I haven’t been a fan of Dupnik’s for a long time, but this really was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Tom Rompel, co-owner of Black Weapons Armory in Tucson. “He’s law enforcement. We expect ‘the facts, ma’am,’ not his opinion. He leans far left, always has, and frankly, people have had enough.”
You tell him, Turdlington! [Washington Times]

Dupnik vs. Rednik
Rednik vs. Sputnik.
Wait, wha?
It's important that we listen to the people who place bumper stickers on the paint job.
ALL CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS I'M SERIOUS!!!
I'm afraid of commitment, so only put them on the glass.
That's how I could peel off the Kerry/Edwards stickers so easily.
Frankly, I think the "straw that broke the camel's back" was the bullet in the chest of Christina Green, but then my certification papers as a human being are not stamped "Returned for insufficient funds."
Couldn't have said it better myself. This fuckers are selfish little trolls, huh? It's always about them, and how they've been wronged, and how they've been hurt.
Given that movement conservatism is all about feelings over facts, is that really all that surprising to anyone at this point?
I really shouldn't be surprised, but I think I thought a massacre would at least start them on the path to some kind of self-reflection. No such luck. I'm sure they are now actively lobbying their congressmen to give a formal apology to Glock, just like how Barton apologized to BP for how "bad" the government treated them. :rolleyes:
The booger hook isn't on the thinking switch with Teabaggers*
*in real english and not gunspeak — just fucking dumb.
There's still a little space left on that truck for more racism. Just sayin'.
People who sell guns should have to wipe up the blood.
Just tack it on to the price upfront, like recycling fees on computers.
"A group opposed to illegal immigration has begun an effort to recall the sheriff in a special election. Meanwhile, a Pima County tea party group is planning on holding a “Dump Dupnik” rally next week outside his office."
Go right ahead. Every single nutjob in the county should get out there and protest. Carry lots of crazy posters with bad photoshopped images on them. Carry your weapons openly, too. The great majority of Tucson residents can see exactly who it is who is opposed to Dupnik and congratulate themselves on electing him.
Yeah how dare Dupnik point out the ridiculously obvious, that's an afront to teabaggers! What's funny is Dupnik has never claimed one political group or another is responsible and yet within minutes of his statement the entire nation of Wingnuttia had blood rush to its face. To me that says more than anything else, sort of like when you talk about racism on the radio and immediately Rush, Savage et. al get incredibly angry and whiney. They'll show up dressed like Howdy Doodie or something, this being the west I don't think that stupid colonial dress those of you on the East are forced to deal in flabby, liverspotted scooter-protest occurs here. Of course I don't pay attention to baggers in my state because I'm too busy holding down the job they say I don't have while attending my university of communist indoctrination, I just don't have the extra time like these unemployed, social service abusing Glenn Beck shut-ins who shout get a job at every liberal that passes by their flabby vectors have.
And when they carry their weapons openly, it makes it easier for the ATF to identify who has the illegally modified firearms in the crowd.
Stating the truth = leans far left. Go figure.
Truth has a well-known liberal bias. That's why Fux News has to be fair and balanced.
Reality has well-known liberal bias.
Anything a Teabagger calls somebody is justified because it's true and the dirty leftist punk needed to hear it.
Anything a Teabagger gets called is false, reprehensible and part of the attempt by TEH LEFT to silence him for his patriotism.
It'a a nice gig.
After stealing your post and putting it up over at Breitbart, I received this reply:
"Now you even have debate envy. Earlier you had wealth and success envy. And to thisk the methmarxist hate for Republicans and conservatives all started with pen is envy. "
Plus, you owe me 8 points.
Dear "I don't need sex. The government screws me daily" – your application for the Algonquin Round Table has been accepted and approved.
Hey, but they plagiarised that from Parker–or was it Benchley?
The funny thing is, if it's funny, it's already been said by either Dorothy Parker or Oscar Wilde. Sometimes both.
Listen, if stealing material from people who were funny is wrong then I am certainly not right!
Too snarky for Benchley. He would have made some allegory about newts.
Harpo concurs. Honk! Honk!
Just the facts? How about the fact that Pima County has seen plunging levels of violent crime, while every hater's favorite sheriff, Joe "humiliation gets me off" Arpaio up in Maricopa has seen a crime wave under his corrupt and wasteful watch? How about those facts, eh? How about job performance over ideology?
+10,000 internets for you
Facts??? Everyone knows facts are a far left liberal plot to destroy the beliefs of Real(stupid) "mericans
Accountibilty is just a word. The Teatards really don't expect to have to do anything, because the louder you are the more valid your point is.
Less crime = less chance to shoot criminals. Gun owners get bored easily.
If you've noticed nothing pierces the conservative "ideology over everything" lifestyle. They still think cutting taxes raises revenues, that poor people caused the financial collapse and are pretty sure Saddam's WMD's were found. In other words, they are morons and it's a waste of breath. What's more is they're completely oblivious to how bigoted, intollerant and authoritarian they are; I'd say I feel bad for wingnuts but something about them being meanspirited nasty assholes always prevents empathy.
Well I have seen a disturbing trend from comments in the local Newspaper from these douchebags that are along the lines of:
He's insane! He's not a Left-Winger or a Right-Winger…Maybe this wouldn't have happened if Washington wasn't ripping up the Constitution.
Someone wrote some bullshit like that to the Washington post and the Post being pretty close to trash these days published the letter. Really do they have to publish a letter written by a moran??
I predict many letters that follow "Maybe this wouldn't have happened if…"
abortion wasn't legal
we allowed prayer in schools
college students were allowed/required to carry weapons to class
everyone went to church
we prayed more
we put gays to death on the spot
we hadn't let that pesky citizenry elect Obama
blacks knew their place
women knew their place
etc.
And more "good" guys w/gunz at the Safeway! Shootouts are more fun when everybody's armed.
There actually is a chilling story about a person there who had a gun, was about to use it, and then realized he was looking at the hero who'd disarmed Loughner.
Don't forget all that servicin' theyse give the poors, why it's a waste when perfectly good churches could demand they covert to their doctrine before helping them, it's all about charity to these folks. Also, voluntary free association which goes a little something like this: you can volunteer to convert to said church dogma before being fed and given warmth or you can decide to freeze in the elements and starve to death; it's not like they're MAKING you do it. Isn't conservative compassion heartwarming?
If they were supportive of the Sheriff's work for a long time, but him calling AZ the bastion of violent hate is seen as "the last straw," what kind of response would have kept his citizens happy?
Announcing the fire sale of the attackers gun and bullets? (Which did, by the way, fly off the shelves in the days after. . .)
And the sheriff thought his mailbag was toxic before this happened….
Also calling him Loughton a commonist Obama supportin' Kenya Messican Muslim (like Palin and Rush have) might have gotten some smiles. At this point the only thing Sheriff Dupnik can do to appease the tea party is burn a cross and drop 25+ N-bombs in a single paragraph as both nouns and verbs.
Where do I send a check to fight this recall effort?
I think it would be funny if they just upped the price of bullets to $200.00 per bullet with a 40% tax. Sure, have all the big guns you want to make up for your small weiner but the bullets are gonna cost ya.
Classic Chris Rock piece from I don't know how long ago, "We don't need and won't ever pass gun control. But why not make bullets $5000 each? You're going to have to really, really want to kill a mo-fo, and plan your finances accordingly. You won't be spraying 'em anywhere!"
"Oh that's it. You're so dead, just as soon as I can save some money. I'm going to get a second job, work nights, you better hope I can't get some bullets on layaway."
oh yeah. Chris Rock is where i heard that line. heh heh. i thought i made it up. i was so proud of myself. thought i had acquired wit. sheesh.
I thought they just shot the ones they hated. Must have used all the ammo on 9 year olds.
Re-call? Don't they mean 'Second Amendment Remedies'?
… Or have the 'baggers begged off, seeing someone with more firepower than them?
Pussies.
What is really telling here is that when the Dupnik uttered the truthnik, he didn't say; "republicans, teabaggers, (same as republicans), right wingers, nor did he name names. But they all got in to their usual, defensive, ginned up fauxrage over a "far lefty" disparaging right wing hate talkers. He who smelt it dealt it, jackholes. Truth hurts, eh?
Exactly. How are they going to recall him for disparaging the right, when he didn't mention any party by name?
Reporter: Why are you rallying against Sheriff Dupnik and organizing a recall?
T-Bigots: He called us "angry, vitriolic, and bigoted."
Reporter: I didn't hear him name names. What makes you think he was referring to the Tea Party?
T-Bigots: Uhhhh . . .
"We expect ‘the facts, ma’am,’ "
Um, that's exactly what he gave, moron. Look, just because you continue to deny obvious truths, like the fact violent rhetoric can incite actual violence or the fact that a 30-bullet magazine allows a nut to kill a lot more people than he would have otherwise doesn't make them any less true.
Fucktard suspects the facts. He has never been comfortable around them. They intrude unpleasantly into his fantasies about red g-strings and bigger guns.
There's surveyor marks all over Dupnik's back.
Death by plane table and alidade.
Let's face it. Arizona is full of olds who grew up believing the myth of their Depression-era parents that each person just has to pull himself by his bootstraps and make it on his own, like I did, dammit! All the time complaining that Social Security doesn't pay enough, Medicare Part D costs too much, not recognizing that they live in a part of the country that was essentially unpopulated until rural electrification and the invention of air conditioning except for a few browns who were there first because grew up there, not recognizing that were it not for the help of the hated gummint most of them would probably be dead by now or living in a cardboard box in Buffalo, and were it not for those despised immigrants they wouldn't be able to afford the prunes they need to try and clean out a bit of that shit they're so full of.
The pissant grammarian in me says the last four-fifths of your rant is either a run-on or an incomplete sentence or both, the lover of all things true and funny says You Rule!
Take that grammarian in you and strangle it to death, you will be liberated.
Stop promoting violence!
That's not grammatical transcendence!
Alas, I would need to slay grimmer dragons than that one to liberate myself, but I'll see if it helps.
Well, then look at the bright side, the inhibited, when they do let loose, tend to get crazy wild, so enjoy those moments; over-imbibe and dance naked on the table twice a year, its worth spending the rest of the time trying to get the teacher to approve of you by correcting people's grammar.
stop the word libel
At least I didn't throw in a semicolon; grammar can be so hard.
And semicolon cancer can be so typographically painful.
Let's leave the Bills out of it.
Arizona should try to be more like Florida.
With Gov. Rick Scott wanting a papers please law and privatizing everything he can get his zombie hands on the only thing that differentiates us from Arizona is our rainy season.
Why haven't they recalled Jesus yet for all of his hippie talk?
Silly, they worship the "muscular Jesus" who was all about slaughtering his enemies and believing that the poor should be left to die because their poverty is their own damn fault.
Ah, yes, my favorite. Reader's Digest King James Old Testament Jesus.
Chuck Norris Jesus didn't die for our sins. He made those other sons-of-bitches die for their sins.
"Old Testament Jesus" would be a pretty righteous name for a Christian hair metal band.
Dupnik? Hmm. Sounds Mexican to me.
Or French or brown or socialist but definitely not Christian White.
Sounds like one of those communist czars.
Wingnut strategy= just recall or repeal any fucking thing that you don't agree with. Crazy Shelly wants to "repeal the President and the Senate". I say we repeal your Cadillac, socialist health care and repeal your damn farm subsidies while we're at it.
Meanwhile, the Teamob is holding a meeting to deal with Dupnik. Let's see what is going on…
Teamobber #1: What we gonna do Gator? The sheriff dun gone soshulist on us!
Gator: Well the first thing is we gonna need some more guns and ammo.
Teamobber #2: I just spent all my last Social Security check on a new glock and bullets, I ain't got another check fer a month and tell you the truth I'm gettin kind of hungry.
Gator: Just shoot your self some armadillo, squirrel and cactus,you 'll be fine and ifn you run out bullets I'll loan you some from Gator's GunzRus store for nominal percentage fee.
Gator: OK everybody! If we're gonna vote this Dupnik critterout of office we're goona need some shootin pratice at Gator's GunzNFun shootin range! Don't forget Fridays is half price fer kids under 6.
And then they all called up Jimmy Dean to complain about the fuckin tiny packages of sausage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4RNb3tt0LM
That was fucking great!
Thanks.
I am peeing with laughter over that man and his sausage needs. Fat bastards.
Except they wouldn't say or know what a 'nominal percentage fee' was. (Your education was showing a little there)
Excellent logic at work here again by the teabaggers. Follow up extreme behavior by upping the ante. For sure, if they recall the only sane person down there, that will make the time continuum and all the bullets fly backwards and all will be well.
My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Arizona forever. We
begin bombingcut off the Colorado River in five minutes.Ah, the good old days of Saint Ronnie and his lame attempts at 'humor."
Can we carve out the Grand Canyon? I'm sure some other state (Utah?) would be happy to bring it into their loving embrace.
Maybe we can use Star Wars technology and airlift it to Dinseyland.
Niiiice. You win the morning, despite your typo.
Spelling is not my strong suit. That's why I was thinking of becoming a tea bagger.
Well, if they get really crazy on Dupnik's ass and he gets gunned down, at least he's got a 50-50 chance of pulling through thanks to the power of prayer.
Recall? Surely there are much faster ways to solve their problem.
I'm sure some mouthbreather is going to have to bring his boom box and play some Eric Clapton over and over during the rally.
Only if they find the Conway Twitty version.
So when exactly are we going to start rounding up Teabaggers and putting them in FEMA re-education camps? Michelle Bachmann insisted this was going to happen, and I've been waiting patiently.
Black Weapons Armory? Since when do they allow blacks to have guns in AZ???
The "Black" refers to possible targets, not the ethnicity/race of the owners of the weapons. It could also be called "Brown Weapons Armory."
there is a Brown Pants Outlet mall, useful in case any of these wingtards actually find themselves in a position where they need to use a gun.
There are Blacks in Arizona?
Cardinals and Suns? Hello?!
So if Sheriff Dupnik acted more like Joe Friday, a TV cop, he'd be professional. But if he has an opinion about crime, since he's an expert, it's not. Fuck em.
Tom Rompel, co-owner of Black Weapons Armory in Tucson. “He’s law enforcement. We expect ‘the facts, ma’am,’ not his opinion.
That Black Weapons Armory is a wonderland for chickenhawks who want to pretend they are a for reallz GI Joe or Jane. You can get conversion rails for your AR15 to mount your M203 grenade launcher which you got on eBay. They have suppressors, and no not the simple brakes used on the M16/M4 as a flash suppressor but full blown silencers which can be scammed as legal in a bunch of states. And for you Wonketteer night stalkers there are lasers and led lights, and infra-red scopes for you serious black opsers.
John Lennon weeps.
I didn't understand any of that, except silencers, but I'm assuming it's all bad.
I wish you wouldn't post stuff like this, because it makes me think I need to upgrade, and I really can't afford it. I'm supposed to be retired.
You can have my Sheriff. When you take him from my cold dead hands!
These morans will be waving Joe Arpaio signs while professing their desire for an unbiased sheriff.
Of course because according to a conservative being unbiased means agreeing with their ideology and revisionism like the "strict constructionists" sitting on SCOTUS do; best non-activist totally fair and down the middle judges ever if you're a giant corporation, gun merchant, an oil company, a racist (that goes double for Clarence Thomas) or a bible fucker…
The NRA/GOP has prevented the ATF from having a Director for what, 4 years now? I think I actually heard convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy explain that you should always shoot ATF agents in the head.
Yes, Liddy has said that on his radio show for years now.
I am sure some Breitard will come along on tell us that he meant 'with votes' when he said "Head shots, head shots. Kill the sons of bitches."
Or the crotch. Don't forget the crotch shots.
I have a hard time imagining most Arizona residents being able to recall what they did yesterday, let alone recall a sheriff.
And don't forget that while violent crime in the US, Arizona, and Pima county have all gone down by 10-15%, violent crime in Arpaio's county has gone up 58%. He's a credit to his race, that one.
Wasteful government spending on a recall election, but not one thin dime for organ transplants or mental health care!
“He’s law enforcement. We expect ‘the facts, ma’am,’ not his opinion."
Looks like the Sarah Palin brand of journalism is taking hold.
Every news headline should include a question mark, because readers don’t turn to the news for facts, they turn to it for insinuation. – Wonkette
It may be time for The Judge to pay Tucson another visit to straighten some of these people out about what violence really means
Once again, Franklin and I could not agree more with this post, and the comments by our fellow Wonketteers.
Nothing is more appalling, and more contrary to the concept of TrueLiberal Democracy, than the idea of disgruntled citizens voting a politician out of office because they do not agree with his views.
Unless that politician is a TrueLiberal, of course.
Cordially,
Eleanor
Well, it worked out OK for California, didn't it?
Cripes, "Neilist" was that grumpy, fragmentary uncle that you never really liked but whose funny-for-the-wrong-reasons ramblings you eventually realized you would miss from family gatherings once he died.
Reading "Eleanor's" posts is like watching that same uncle's brain further atrophy to the point where the snark gets lost mid-post.
I'll be the one to help uncle to the toilet: in order for your post to make sense, unc, you would at least need the word "not" in your last sentence: "NOT a TrueLiberal." Therein lies the snark.
Happy to help; please remember to flush!
Next thing you know she'll be asking us to pull her finger.
I am sure all the neo nazis and white supremacists in Arizona will agree with you, Eleanor
They will be there with their confederate/ swastika flags flying!
I just have to wonder if John Q. GunShopOwner will be the one that tries to ambush the Sheriff, after the recall election plan fails miserably.
Or will they convince another mentally challenged young adult to pull the trigger on him, outside of the Safeway?
Sheriffs are not politicians, you cretin. They are officers of the court.
What is your major malfunction? Jesus Christ, you've become a tripe-spewing blowhard.
Wait a minute. This is near the O.K. Corral, isn’t it?
Well then, a sheriff once tried to lean up that town of gunslingers.
Today, these people must think they are extras in a movie.
Days before they sing I shot the sheriff, but …, 3, 2, 1…
Sounds like a job for Ted "Tiny One" Nugent.
Ha.
Ha, indeed!
No need to worry until the Messenger body count eclipses that of the Browns.
This is way too tame and predictable Teabaggers… come on, if you're serious, lynch him like in olden times. Then Cleavon Little can be the new sheriff and Gene Wilder can pal around with him.
Dupnik = Patriot.
Facts and conservatives=oil and water.
Go ahead, teabaggers, waste your time, money, and energy…
Pima County is the oasis of civilization in Arizona, as evidenced by the 2010 vote: the county voted against Jan "I hate immigrants" Brewer, and almost half of them voted against McSame: http://www.pima.gov/elections/res1110.htm
Amazingly, Rompel's gun store was featured in the film Pulp Fiction
OMG, they're going to bring out the gimp vote!
And I would like to recall the Arizona Tea Party but I'm not sure if I can. Are they the ones with the Medicare paid for wheelchairs hauling their unemployed bodies around to anti- government sponsored health reform rallies? Or was that North Carolina?
Let's hope the rest of us can stop them before that happens.
They're just venegful, bigotted people and they know it.
Hey retard! The fact that he's won election to the office of Sheriff eight times, is proof the people have spoken. So go back into your trailer and resume masturbating to the February issue of Soldier of Fortune, OK?
Spellin' ain't what wuz Jesus say wuz gewd.
Fixed.
The sticker How 'bout I put my carbon footprint up your liberal ass? is a gem.
From what I've seen of most local tea parties, most of them would like to recall the sheriffs and police chiefs and all elected officials and pretty much let martial law rule. Whoever has the most ammunition wins, I guess.
They hate the fact that Sheriff Dupnik is right. Cant stand it, actually.
I have deleted a couple of posts 3 times–they keep reappearing every few hours.
now that Giffords has left Arizona, the tone it down thing can stop and get back to business as usual.
So, he's mad because Dupnik got a little too close to home, for them, and called them for what they really are, right?
Inconevient truth is inconvenient (for teabaggers). Fuck off, you modern-day cave-dwellers. Go fling your poo at someone else, you tree-bound chimps.
Dupnik rules! Ha Ha, suck it teabaggers, Tucson is not Phoenix.
"He leans far left, always has, and frankly, people have had enough.”
Which is why he's been re-elected 8 times. Why is it when the right wins an election it's a mandate, but when anyone to the left of them does, it's contrary to the will of The People(tm)?
"over-imbibe and dance naked on the table twice a year"
I'm ON the m.f., daddy-o!
