NPR, of course! Actually, I'm talking about the network whose president recently decided he was going to tell his employees to tone things down. When he did so, he expressed the hope that "the other side" would do the same. Wait, did he say "other side"? I thought that his news organization was "fair and balanced".

Did I listen to his every word? No. Did I hear and see him say "Az has become the Tombstone of the US." Yes. I thought we already had a Tombstone and it was already in Az. I stand by my remarks above.

So you focus on one offhand comment and ignore his further elaborations in regards to that comment? And you're the one calling for greater understanding and dialogue? I mean shit, 18 people were just shot. Perhaps a Commando reference would have been more appropriate.

With that logic... why care what any elected official says?

What are you talking about? That's not at all implied by my logic (though at this point, I think that most elected officials are full of shit). The sheriff has nothing to do with this. At this point he's a cog in the criminal justice process (assuming he's competent). Do you think he's going to cook the evidence to implicate Rush Limbaugh? Do you really think his opinion on the state of punditry or the relative aptness of Tombstone comparisons is relevant to anything?
