Why did Dick ARMEY think he was asked to appear on t.v.?!

There he was with AMANPOUR and STEPANOPOULIS pontificating about how this case's answers would eventually be settled from psychiatry "not from sociology or politics."

Since the topic ever since the shooting has been about the "temperature of the political climate," it's amazing that ARMEY could keep a straight face in not acknowledging that he has played a dominant role in ratcheting the temperature.



(I'm looking for the Pima County sheriff's words about the vitriol for posting here.) On Edit: Here::

Pima County Sheriff Blames Vitriol From “Certain Mouths About Tearing Down The Government”


“When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.

“It’s not unusual for all public officials to get threats constantly, myself included. And that’s the sad thing of what’s going on in America. Pretty soon, we’re not going to be able to find reasonable, decent people who are willing to subject themselves to serve in public office.”

DUPNIK: Let me just say one thing, because people tend to poo-poo this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that. That may be free speech. But it’s not without consequences.


REPORTER: How do you know that that’s what caused it.

DUPNIK: You don’t?
