My friend, Andy Shaw, who now works for a good government group out there, used the term &#8216;in the crosshairs\u2019 in talking about the candidates out there. We\u2019re trying, we\u2019re trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend. He\u2019s covered politics for a long time, but we\u2019re trying to get away from using that kind of language.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s serious, folks. CNN issued an apology for a guest using the term &#8216;in the crosshairs.\u2019 Well, hey, Mike, I\u2019m gonna change the sound bite order. I need to find Wolf Blitzer and Sheriff Dipstick because that also happened on CNN, and this is just classic as well. They\u2019re dead serious. Here, play this again. They wonder why they have 54,000 viewers age 25 to 54 at 8 p.m. during Spitzer and the Ditzer, 54,000 viewers. We have that many on the corner of Fourth Avenue and wherever in Oshkosh. Listen to this again. <\/p>\n<p>KING: We were just having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race just a moment ago. My friend, Andy Shaw, who now works for a good government group out there, used the term &#8216;in the crosshairs\u2019 in talking about the candidates out there. We\u2019re trying, we\u2019re trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend. He\u2019s covered politics for a long time, but we\u2019re trying to get away from using that kind of language.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What is somebody watching CNN think when they hear this? You know, if I were watching, I woulda said, &#8216;Why don\u2019t you just reshoot the interview?\u2019 Ha-ha-ha-ha. Just reshoot the interview. (laughing) What is this apologizing for &#8216;in the crosshairs\u2019? (laughing) My gosh, you know, it hearkens back to Ted Turner, you couldn\u2019t use the word &#8216;foreigners\u2019 for a long time on CNN, and then you couldn\u2019t use the word &#8216;terrorist\u2019 for a while, and now you can\u2019t say &#8216;in the crosshairs.\u2019 And I wonder if they would apologize if I were on there and said, &#8216;Well, why don\u2019t you guys just reshoot it?\u2019 I marvel &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; I don\u2019t know what to say. I just love it. Notice the sincerity here, the hand-wringing. (imitating King) &#8216;We\u2019re trying. We\u2019re trying. We\u2019re trying to get away from that language.\u2019 Now, that was last night on CNN\u2019s John King USA. What happened here with Wolf Blitzer and Sheriff Dipstick was before this happened with John King apologizing for his guest Andy Shaw using the term &#8216;in the crosshairs.\u2019 Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer interviewing the Pima County sheriff, Clarence Dipstick, and we have four sound bites, and here\u2019s the first.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: Some of your critics say you\u2019re basically implying that, you know, Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin may have created the environment that led to this massacre.<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: Well, I think all the flamethrowers are responsible.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: Give me some specifics. Who?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: Well, you mentioned two of them, and I think that people who go out and call for people to take the Second Amendment up in order to resolve certain problems, those kinds of statements are so vitriolic, and I can\u2019t tell you how vitriolic the campaign was against the Tea Party candidate that ran against Gabrielle Giffords.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Does he realize what he just said there, how vitriolic the campaign was against the Tea Party candidate that ran against Gabrielle Giffords. So there\u2019s Wolf Blitzed, you know, he slips back into fair journalist mode. Here\u2019s the next segment of the discussion with Sheriff Dipstick.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: In your investigation over these ten days, Sheriff, do you have any information that leads you to believe that this alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, was listening to these, what you call flamethrowers, whether Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or anyone else on the left or the right, do you have any specific information that he was influenced by them?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: No, I do not but I can tell you that he has been preoccupied the last three years with an elected official, government official.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: You talking about this congresswoman?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: I am.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" class=\"alignright\"\/>BLITZER: Gabrielle Giffords. But because we heard that he had Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto among other books in his possession, based on what you know, was he more influenced by the left or the right?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: I have no way of knowing that, Wolf.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, isn\u2019t this just peachy. Sheriff Dipstick doesn\u2019t know anything. All he knows is that Loughner hated one politician, Gabrielle Giffords. Now, do I need get into a logic explanation here? The sheriff has just explained unbeknownst to him what might be the root of this event. He doesn\u2019t have any evidence or information whatsoever that I, Beck, Palin, or anybody is responsible for this, even had any language responsible for it, but he can say that Loughner was preoccupied the last three years with an elected official, a government official. Who? Gabrielle Giffords. Sheriff, many people hearing this might think the way you\u2019ve been talking lately that you\u2019re all of a sudden now blaming her. The guy was preoccupied with her, not with me, not with Palin, preoccupied with her. Let\u2019s keep listening as Wolf Blitzer tries and tries again to get into the deep, dark crevices of the mind of Sheriff Dipstick.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: Because a lot of people are asking, Sheriff, if you don\u2019t know that he was influenced by these individuals, whether Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or anyone else, why make the accusation that they helped create this environment that resulted in six people getting killed?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: Well, it just happens to be my &#8212; my opinion based on 52 years in law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: You\u2019re just speculating?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: I am.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s gonna make law enforcement happy. (laughing) He\u2019s speculating as to who\u2019s responsible for a crime based on his 52 years in law enforcement. And Wolf Blitzer says, &#8216;You\u2019re speculating?\u2019 &#8216;Yeah. Yeah, I was speculating.\u2019 I mean, Sheriff, if Jared Loughner was focused on a government official for three years, where the hell were you? It seems to me to be a rather obvious question. Sheriff Dipstick here admits that Loughner had it in for Gabrielle Giffords, and Gabrielle Giffords is unfortunately in the hospital. Meanwhile, Sheriff Dipstick is blaming me and Sarah Palin. The purpose of the interview is they\u2019re trying to rehab the sheriff here. They\u2019re trying to get the sheriff back on the side of credibility, but no, the sheriff is sticking to his guns, so to speak. I apologize to CNN for the phrase &#8216;sticking to his guns.\u2019 But that\u2019s what the sheriff is doing here. So finally Wolf gets Dipstick to admit that he doesn\u2019t have evidence that Loughner even listened to the radio.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: Because I just want to make sure that you don\u2019t know something &#8212; I know you\u2019re &#8212; you know a lot more about this investigation than I know or viewers know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Stop the tape. Wolf, no, no. He doesn\u2019t. That\u2019s the whole point, Wolf. He just got through telling you that for three years the shooter has had a hate-on for Gabrielle Giffords. Where has the sheriff been in all these three years? So here\u2019s Wolf, they\u2019re trying to rehab the sheriff. They like the sheriff, he\u2019s a good liberal, he\u2019s law enforcement. They want what Dipstick says to have some credibility. By the way, Wolf, let me ask you a question. Given that John King has apologized for the phrase &#8216;in the crosshairs\u2019 and I can\u2019t say CNN should &#8216;reshoot\u2019 the interview, do you think you might want to change your name, Wolf Blitz, Blitzer? I mean nobody thinks of the reindeer when they hear that term. Blitzer sounds like big-time force being used to overcome an opponent. Blitzer is like a little Mein Kampf lingo. Well, anyway that\u2019s just something for them to think about. Here\u2019s the final sound bite.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: Jared Loughner was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: I don\u2019t know what he listened to on the radio.<\/p>\n<p>BLITZER: All right, so you\u2019re not backing away from that controversy. You know you\u2019re gonna get a lot of criticism for making these statements, Sheriff, but you\u2019re not backing away?<\/p>\n<p>DUPNIK: Well, the flamethrowers are pointed at me almost everywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) The only thing I know to do here to be polite is laugh. The sheriff now thinks the flamethrowers are pointed at him everywhere in the country. So I guess it\u2019s okay for the sheriff to come out and defend himself with idle speculation, but if I do it or if Palin does it, why, it\u2019s too defensive and it\u2019s tantamount evidence of guilt. I don\u2019t know, folks. It\u2019s one of those &#8216;get this\u2019 episodes.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I wonder if CNN will issue an apology soon for their 20-year program entitled &#8216;Crossfire.\u2019 I wonder if CNN will tell James Carville and &#8216;The Forehead,\u2019 Paul Begala, they will no longer reference their movie about the \u201992 Clinton campaign called &#8216;The War Room.\u2019 You never know, after John King\u2019s on-air apology last night on CNN. <\/p>\n<p>(replaying of sound bite) <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;We\u2019re trying. We are trying to get away from using language\u2019 like &#8216;in the crosshairs.\u2019 &#8216;We\u2019re trying.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125106.Par.39917.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"272\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Here\u2019s Matt in Jacksonville, Florida. Matt, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. I think your boy Sheriff Dipstick might be held liable in this accident, as Nancy Pelosi put it. I\u2019ve been law enforcement for 15 years, and this guy apparently had made numerous death threats, Loughner did. And anybody like that, they\u2019re supposed to be taken before a judge or a magistrate and if it\u2019s found that they are to be possibly a threat to themselves or others, they\u2019re to be involuntarily committed for a psych eval, and he obviously didn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, I think this is why Dipstick is trying to shift everybody\u2019s focus to other people, get it off of his office.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely. And the other thing is if I was a family member of one of these victims I\u2019d be suing him big time. He shoulda had security out there, and he didn\u2019t, and I know where I work, something like that, an event like that, even if you\u2019re not gonna commit a beat unit, they\u2019ll put out, &#8216;Hey, anybody who is off duty, you want overtime, come check out a marked car and go stand by it,\u2019 and they didn\u2019t do any of that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Especially when Dipstick says on CNN last night that he\u2019s known for three years that the shooter had a hate-on for Gabrielle Giffords. I\u2019ve heard guys like you in law enforcement are looking at this with mouths open with incredulity, can\u2019t believe it. But the guy\u2019s protected, he\u2019s a good liberal, he\u2019s saying things the Democrat Party, the media, wants said, so he\u2019s protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We got a couple of &#8216;get this\u2019 kinda news stories today.
