Pima County, AZ Sheriff Dupnick

Message JON LARSEN

Recently the hue and cry has been raised to recall Sheriff Dupnick of Pima County for suggesting that violence can be started by words.

If corporate advertisers spend $41,000,000,000 (forty-one billion dollars) to air television commercials each year to successfully convince us to buy beer, snacks, cars and all manner of worthless junk , why then wouldn't   $32,000,000 (thirty-two million dollars) to Drama Queen Glenn Beck, $28,000,000 to Rush Limbaugh, $20,000,000 to Sean Hannity and $10,000,000 to Bill O'Reilly have some effect on viewer's behavior? Why wouldn't the message of hate of government influence a disturbed man to "buy" that message being sold--- that targeting the enemy and "shooting them in the head" is OK?

After all, Glenn Beck thought it was a good idea.

It was on his FOX NEWS SHOW of June 10 that year [2010] Glenn Beck said "You're going to have to shoot them in the head," in reference to Democrats such as then U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who[m] he described as a Marxist "revolutionary" and "communist."--Ben Betz of People for the American Way.

The Tucson shooting wasn't the first time.

"Bryon Williams, who allegedly shot it out with police on his way to attack a little known liberal foundation [Tides Foundation] appears to have selected his target after hearing FOX NEWS host , Glenn Beck "s rants against it." [29 rants between Jan.12, 2009 and Jul. 18, 2010]--(INTELLIGENCE   REPORT, Winter 2010/#140). Williams cited Glenn Beck as his inspiration.

It is very difficult not to believe Bryon Williams.
