RUSH: Rich Lowry, The Corner, National Review Online: ‘Even the Sheriff Knows that Loughner is Crazy.\u2019 There\u2019s a long New York Times piece on the killer. ‘There\u2019s no doubt in my mind…\u2019 This is Dupnik. ”There\u2019s no doubt in my mind the whole trial will be about: Did he know right from wrong?\u2019 the sheriff said. ‘We\u2019ll have 15 psychiatrists saying yes; we\u2019ll have 15 psychiatrists saying no. What do I say? I think he\u2019s mentally disturbed.” Did you see what James Taranto wrote at Wall Street Journal, Best of the Web online? Quoting the sheriff, naming me as a responsible party, he says, ‘Anybody seen Limbaugh? He\u2019s about six feet tall, stocky build, has booming baritone voice, and is still at large.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Still at large! (laughing) Sheriff Dupnik. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That very long New York Times story on the killer, Jared Loughner. I remember when — in the first half hour of the program, mere moments ago — I mentioned that Jared Loughner was a Bush-hater. All three pairs of eyeballs on the other side of the glass look at me in total surprise. They had not seen it reported anywhere. Here\u2019s this detail from the New York Times piece on Jared Loughner: ‘He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were perpetrated by the government…\u2019 Now, all of that is lies made up by the left. And there was a Rasmussen survey — ah, I forget, within the past year or so — that half the Democrats in the country believed that. <\/p>\n

Where was that? Let me find it here real quick. In 2007, three years ago, Rasmussen Reports: ‘Democrats in America are evenly divided\u2019 evenly divided! ‘on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9\/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent of Democrats believe that Bush knew. Thirty-nine percent said he didn\u2019t know. Twenty-six percent aren\u2019t sure.\u2019 Of the 35% who think Bush knew, they also have to think he didn\u2019t do anything to stop it, which means 35% of Democrats think that Bush wanted it to happen — and guess who this guy identifies with? The Democrats! ‘He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were perpetrated by the government,\u2019 all lies made up by the left. <\/p>\n

He also believed ‘that the country\u2019s central banking system was enslaving its citizens. His anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government.\u2019 So here you have a ‘government\u2019 hater, a Bush-hater, which qualifies him to be in common with over 80% of the Democrat Party. They all hated Bush. See, that hatred was justified. Hatred of Bush? Well, that was understandable. Hatred of Bush? Justifiable! So this guy\u2019s ‘anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So he\u2019s an anti-government, conspiracy theorist, truther Bush-hater. The New York Times uncovers all this. Back to Sheriff Dupnik. ‘Disturbed enough to be found guilty but insane? ‘I majored in psychology at the university,\u2019 Sheriff Dupnik answered. ‘Based on what I\u2019ve seen, he is psychotic, he has serious problems with reality, and I think he\u2019s delusional. Does he meet the legal test of guilty but insane? I don\u2019t know.” Sheriff Dupnik, naming me, now claiming this guy is ‘delusional.\u2019 The sheriff was majoring in psychology at the university. Well… I never once thought the guy was a genuine sheriff in the first place, then. <\/p>\n

(playing of ‘I\u2019m Not a Sheriff\u2019 parody song) <\/p>\n

RUSH: And that is white comedian Paul Shanklin on Martin Luther King Day, and ‘I\u2019m Not a Sheriff,\u2019 a vocal portrayal there that\u2019s Eric ‘Clapner.\u2019 (interruption) Well, I know it\u2019s Clapton, and I know it\u2019s reggae tune. Bob Marley did it first and it was covered by Eric ‘Clapner,\u2019 as pronounced by Joycelyn Elders, who believed we should teach masturbation in the schools as a form of birth control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
