   Hitler and Marx among his favorites:

   “The Communist Manifesto” and “Mein Kampf” were among the favorite reading materials of Jared Lee Loughner….

   What is poignant about this is that it’s all over the media that the right wing of politics is behind the vitriol the sheriff kept speaking of. But The DailyKos is a far left blog. Apparently this sheriff who went on and on about vitriol in the media is a leftist Democrat who has spoken out about things like Arizona’s new immigration law as being racist.

   How ironic for him that it turns out a leftist blog had this vitriolic entry.

   …….

   Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a Democrat in his seventh term in office, in a Saturday night press conference called his state a “mecca for racism and bigotry.”

   The founder of the Daily Kos, Markos Moulitsas, is a bit extreme:

   “Fucking American Taliban.”

   His latest book:

   “American Taliban: How War, Sex, Sin, and Power Bind Jihadists and the Radical Right”

   You can see the “dead to me” entry at the DailyKos is dated 1/6/11, two days before the shooting.

   The entry was made by a man that has emotional problems.

   I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt….

   That Sheriff is as confused as most of the rest of the Progressives. If he did not like the people in Arizona he should have left.
   The people I knew in Arizona mostly left and they lived in the Tucson area near where that shooting took place.

     I think poll numbers in Arizona show people there decidedly wanted the immigration law he is calling racist. He may lose in the next election because of what he is saying.

   Now a blogger at the DailyKos is blaming the “rightwing nutosphere” for the “DEAD to me” story blowing up. He can’t see it was the Democrat sheriff who started this blow up by claiming, persistently claiming, that right wing talk radio and tv “vitriol” are to blame for the shooting.

   It’s a shame that our society produces these kinds of deranged time bombs that are ready to explode.

    I don’t get what’s so vitriolic about this post. So she said Gifford is dead to her, that not the same as saying she needs to die. In my opinion Jesse Kelly’s M16 event is 100x worse: http://firedoglake.com/2011/01/08/giffords-opponent-jesse-kelly-held-june-event-to-shoot-a-fully-automatic-m16-to-get-on-target-and-remove-gabrielle-giffords/

    And since when are Nazis left-wing?

      With the center moving left, I can see how some would say that SOCIALISTS are not left. But for most of the rational world, socialists are still left wing.

      Please tell me the difference between the Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Russia.
