Comments on: Send a postcard to Dupnick https://thenewneo.com/2011/01/10/send-a-postcard-to-dupnick/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 11 Jan 2011 12:47:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Cindy Simon https://thenewneo.com/2011/01/10/send-a-postcard-to-dupnick/#comment-215175 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 12:47:58 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2011/01/10/send-a-postcard-to-dupnick/#comment-215175 ‘I feel compelled to say that Sheriffs in the USA hold elective office. Unlike chiefs of police. Odd how some do not know that..” — Tom

FYI — MOST sheriffs are elected in US which is why comments in above post.

However, in at least 3 states, they are not, as sheriffs are county-based offices, and some states do not have county-based local govt. or county elected officials..

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek when I asked if they can be fired. (I think they can, and also face impeachment, but again this varies from state to state, and I am not well-versed in AZ local political laws.

When I wrote “Do I hope he just cooked his own goose and just pontificated himself out of his job when he made his incendiary partisan comments on national TV!” it should be noted that my specific intent was to say that by making such remarks on national TV (my question format was intended to be rhetorical as opposed to an inquiry requiring an answer), and in the Sheriff’s ‘fifteen minutes of fame” statement, he was making remarks that were not only incendiary (politically) but also politically partisan within hours of the shooting, when little definitive information was available. Certainly there was NO indication that the shooter’s was a political motivation toward either the right or the left.
We now know, in fact, that shooter had been to one of Rep. Gifford’s Congress on the Corner events, was familiar with the way in which it was held, and thus knowledgeable about access and so forth.

Finally, when I mentioned potential firing — this was partly rhetorical. Anyone who has been paying attention has to be aware that even on one of the political issues he cited — immigration — he opposes the beliefs of most constituents (70% of the electorate is for the new laws and stronger control of immigration) However, his election to office myat reflect regional differences ind the state.

My use of the word “fired” was meant to mean “Think he’ll win his next election?” OR is there mechanism for formal firing or impeachment for use of his office to promote a specific point of view, and denigrate political opponents at time of such tragedy. That is, will Arizonans listen to his words and feel that such a vitriolic politician is appropriate for the job.

All I have to say:

DLC better scrub their site and scrub google cache.

And Nyom better apologize for his hate.

Who was advocating violence?

Not Sarah.

Only someone like Nyom who libeled/slandered Sarah can continue with that reasoning.

Sarah’s son serves for your right to vomit over her.

CNSNEWS.com has a good piece on Dubnik and his pontifications over the decades he’s been sheriff.
I feel compelled to say that Sheriffs in the USA hold elective office. Unlike chiefs of police. Odd how some do not know that.
I know Tucson well. It has more than its share of fruits-and-nuts voters, being home to the U of A, and loaded with artistes. There’s a prosperous private school committed to multiculti & pacifism. His tenure in office reflects the majority’s will.

She was as taken aback ((as I was, and tried (as delicately as a good interviewer could be) to challenge him. He confirmed he was a Democrat and then proceded again to cite the vitriolic atmosphere in politics — which (of course) is directly attributable to the Republicans, Right, the Tea Parties, Palin, etc. He specified the “obstructionist Republicans, the immigration issue (surprise! his viewpoint NOT in sync with the 70% of his fellow Arizons) amongst other sins of the Republicans that are responsible for the state this country is in.
It was impossible to miss the irony as he was engaging in the very behavior he was criticizing!

My first thought was: Huh?!
Next: What a jerk — is he for real?
Then: Do I hope he just cooked his own goose and just pontificated himself out of his job on national TV! Can he be fired? Do they elect their Sheriff in Tucson?

But then again, one can be sure that those Democrats/Progressives/Lefties will try to blame all this on Fox: Fox MUST have edited his remarks to make him look like the jerk he is.
(Never mind that Megan Kelly diplomatically tried to ask him if such remarks were appropriate from a man in his position, and so forth (never mind that this was hours after the incident and very little was known about the shooter, his background, his motivations.
