Oregon Sheriff Investigating Umpqua Shooting Under Fire For Conspiracy Video Posted on FaceBook Page

I don't know. All seems kinda silly.

A prominent gun-control advocate is calling for the resignation of the Oregon sheriff leading the investigation into the recent shooting, who he labeled a pro-gun "conspiracy theorist."

Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin ruffled feathers after it came to light that he sent Vice President Joe Biden a letter in January 2013, threatening to not enforce stronger gun laws.

According to reports, Hanlin also posted a conspiracy video on his Facebook page suggesting the government was behind the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as well as the 9/11 terrorist attacks in a coordinated effort to "disarm the public." He later distanced himself from the video and denied claims he is a conspiracy theorist.
This has enraged gun-control activists.

He's denying he believes that.

Before Douglas County, Oregon, Sheriff John Hanlin found himself answering questions about a school shooting in his backyard, he posted a link to a video raising questions about another -- the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that left 20 children and six adults dead.

"This makes me wonder who we can trust anymore ..." Hanlin wrote on his Facebook page on January 13, 2013, above the conspiracy video link. "Watch, listen and keep an open mind."

That post has since been taken down, albeit not before many saw it.

When asked about the video Friday, Hanlin told CNN that "I know what you're referring to, but that's not a conspiracy theory that I have."

I'm not a fan of silly conspiracy theories. I'm also not a fan of this age's method of political argumentation, which consists merely of blackening the reputation of a person offering a political claim, as if smearing that person also discredited the political claim itself.

But that's all we do anymore. It's a normal and routine technique in actual political elections to talk about character issues and personal scandals because we're actually not just electing a series of (vague) policy proposals, we're electing an actual person, and we should know about that actual person.

This has always been grist for the easiest, laziest sort of political writing -- and as someone who practices this and loves a scandal story because of how damn easy it is to write up, I say this with complete expert authority.

But this sort of character attack is completely irrelevant in all areas except the situation where we're choosing one person or another for an office.

It has absolutely nothing to do with questions of actual policy. The fact that Hanlin may have posted this tells us precisely nothing at all about the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment and the proper level of freedom (or restriction) of gun ownership.

But this is all we do anymore -- this lazy, #HotTake Gawker-style method of dealing with policy issues. It's nothing more than Hashtag Scandal anymore.

We're increasingly running full political campaigns -- dredging up negative information, discrediting people on character grounds, etc. -- who are not in fact running for any office at all.

Sometimes, we're running political campaigns against complete nobodies who are jus trying to make a joke about an upcoming trip on Twitter.

We are reducing all difficult arguments requiring thoughtfulness, evidence, and logic into mere smear campaigns run against whoever happens to speak out on an issue.

And this isn't just evil. It is evil. It is surely evil. But it's also deeply stupid. It's Idiocracy.

Stupid, thoughtless people always try to reduce things down to their own stupid, thoughtless level, so they can participate.

And the media, of course, is a prime enabler of this New Age of Stupidity, because they're among the laziest and dumbest public speakers in the world. Getting things down to a very dumb, lazy level plays to their strengths.

So once again another awful, vicious campaign of personal destruction because all too many Americans in the media are completely ill-equipped to have anything resembling a policy argument.

Contempt as an "Argument." I noted in the sidebar the fact that the Washington Post's The Fix wrote up a Seth Meyers attack on the GOP, and stalwart defense of Planned Parenthood, as a real news piece, headlining it (Vox-style) The Planned Parenthood Controversy, Explained By Seth Meyers [Video]."

It was of course not an explanation at all: It was simply a staged show of emotional contempt.

It occurs to me that the left, particularly, only makes this sort emotional-solidarity sort of "argument" anymore, the public expression of theatricalized contempt.

They bond through their hatred; they politically agitate through their expressions of hate.

And I'm not sure if they have any other game, really.

The fact that the Washington Post, a supposedly "real newspaper," could mistake this showing of theatrical contempt for an "explanation" of a political issue tells you a lot about our media, our country, and the deeply stupid age we live in.

It keeps reminding me of this observation of David French's:

So, a "senior Obama administration official" called the prime minister of Israel -- our closest ally in the Middle East and one of the few nations in the region that is not (a) imploding or (b) actively funding or supporting terrorists --"“a chickenshit." While that word has rocketed around the globe, other descriptions of Benjamin Netanyahu include,"“recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and 'Aspergery.'" And let’s not forget the worst word of all, "coward."

Behold, the beautiful and delicate rhetorical stylings of our cultural and political elite. They’re the improvisational jazz musicians of American diplomacy, always ready with just the right word to solidify alliances, avoid unnecessary confrontation, and reassure Americans they know exactly what they’re doing in the face of bloody violence. This is what happens when the academic Left runs American foreign policy.

[This is an example of] the sophomoric, malicious style of campus rhetoric, where stigma is the preferred method of argument. It’s hard to overstate the propensity towards name-calling even of "elite" academics, and the culture of the academy is one where groupthink is enforced and reinforced through vicious rhetoric. Their opponents can’t be merely wrong. Instead they are racist, bigoted, homophobic, or -- despite professed love of the disabled -- "Aspergery."The arrogance is overwhelming, and the fake tough-guy posture of name-calling elitists is laughable to everyone but themselves.

French has also pondered the how this sort of increasing fantatacism evolves in a closed group which refuses all possible outside information.

If the recent history of our universities is any guide, the products of a leftist bureacratic monoculture will be characterized by the following:

Ignorance: Groups of like-minded people are notoriously incurious about the ideas and perspectives of dissenters.

Condescension: They don't let ignorance stand in the way of a bulletproof sense of moral and intellectual superiority. Hatred: Since all the good people they know agree with them, they ascribe the worst of motives to the other side, believing them to be motivated by little more than greed and bigotry. And, finally . . .

Fanaticism: Cass Sunstein described the "law of group polarization" like this: "In a striking empirical regularity, deliberation tends to move groups, and the individuals who compose them, toward a more extreme point in the direction indicated by their own predeliberation judgments." In other words, when like-minded individuals deliberate, their common views grow more extreme over time.

He's quite right. The only "argument" made by the left is the political technique of the assignment of stigma to a view -- and the entire left now does this, not just the branches of it (such as Media Matters, etc.) which you could forgive for doing it, as it's their actual job.

But all members of the left, the media, the bien-pensant intellectual class, every single of one them now knows only the primitive, stupid, animal-level technique of ginning up campaigns of social ostracism against individual people, in hopes of (or do they even care about this part any longer...?) stupid people confusing an argument about a person with an argument about a policy.

I don't care what some drooling control freak wants. Everything they want is dumb and illogical.

I've known plenty of otherwise practical people who got roped in by goofy conspiracy theories. Some basic flaw in human nature. Also, I mean, they are *marketing* these things, they don't usually put their dumbest arguments forward first, nor do they put the contrary facts in front of their viewers - see the vastly detailed debunking of "loose brains" or whatever it was. Talk about your "edited photos and videos."

Besides, they're going after him because he opposes control freaks, not because of a video on facecrook.

So that's my answer to everything now.

Oh? Well 9 Christians were murdered in America for following Christ. Fuck you.

"Wahhh wahhhh someone called me a man and I identify as a tree frog."

Oh? Well 9 Christians were murdered in America for following Christ. Fuck you.

69 Some draw back to a particular crux, when sane politics ended; I would have to say Robert Bork. On that day began the end of the US because it began the beginning of the era of least common multiple politics. It isn't surprising that the architects of this DOOM were the Democrats, who would rather permently wound the US and her Political process rather than suffer a Supreme Court Justice that would uphold the Constitution.

On that day, politics became a screaming match, and the only thing that's changed since then is the amount of vulgarity and the volume.

Who's this "we", white boy?

Just joking, ace, sort of. You are as usual spot-on as to the empty stupidity and churlishness that now substitutes for argumentation, the purely illogical ad hominem nonsense.

But I don't think "we" is justified. Lots of people, esp. including those who can think and analyze to begin with, don't really do this. Just because these people are almost exclusively on the non-fascist, non-statist, non-racist side of things in America doesn't make it acceptable to tar them with that brush re ad hominem fallacies and character assassination.

And, ironically enough, a thoughtful approach is actually needed to distinguish between empty ad hominem and well-founded criticism or dismissal - even if the latter includes some histrionics and insults.

For example pointing out the vapid, incorrect, lazy, inappropriate, divisive, and pernicious nature of Obama's policies, statements, and even personal behavior, and tossing in some deserved venom or saracasm, does not substitute vitriol for substance. It adds vitriol, in appropriate measure, BASED on substance.

74 We're increasingly running full political campaigns -- dredging up negative information, discrediting people on character grounds, etc. -- who are not in fact running for any office at all.


That's the theory behind those harridans who are trying to start the Peeple service. That everyone should be rated and know everything about everyone else because heaven forfend that you have to get to know your neighbors as people all on your own. Even worse, you may find out your neighbors are completely different from you politically and quelle horreur!

It's the logical conclusion that we are not full human beings with all the messiness and contradictions that entails. No, we are merely a Personal Brand with Skills and Core Competencies.

I kind of hate everything about how the world is working right now.

On the other hand, I have a promising new career as a recess consultant so I've got that going for me.

What we have going on isn't your Grandpa's stupid. It seems like we have a new strain, a more powerful and virulent stupid that transcends anything we've come up against before.

In the good old days, there was always a baseline of the obvious and fire-is-hot common sense. This has left us now that New Age Stupid has come into vogue.

Today, anything is possible. No lie is too ridiculous to believe and no explanation too incredulous to be reported with a straight face.

Nothing to do but embrace it.

If you don't believe in incorporation and that blue States like NY and OR can have extreme laws that virtually outlaw guns then we need to dis-incorporate ALL the ones that the liberals have used to batter conservatives and the South with since the end of the late unpleasantness.

95 I like a good conspiracy theory. Sometimes where there is smoke there is fire, etc.

I will excuse the lack of information if it should lead to a cell. And we find out later. However, on that note, the public should be aware and looking, right? Right? And we find out that this was one bad dude and they capture those connected (as some do as how he could afford these guns if he had no job. With his disability check? Mama? It all points to dear old Mom who is being hidden from view.

What we do know is that the Paris train hero was from this town, went to college there. What we do know is this barbarian coward is biracial (oops, MSM does not mention this). What we do know is that this guy and his dear, hidden mother had violent fights in an apartment in CA (well, one paper printed this...and that she is black and son has a "dark" complexion and went to a school for emotionally disturbed people. Graduated. Joined Army and was kicked out five weeks into basic training for failing to meet basic standards). Then he bopped around on bike. Went to one junior college. Went to this one in spring, was considered weird but kind. Was in the production of a play at this community college (information scrubbed) as a production assistant building props...yet he was a "loner."

What we did see prior to total scrubbing, was a "friend" on a real or fake myspace account with lots and lots of really sweet isis type photos.

What we see is someone saying something about a manifesto (6 pages, maybe a thumb drive, maybe a waffle) of him being a sad-sack hated himself loon, picked on from birth, joining satan (and I do not doubt satan is involved).

What the press does not cover is his mom, it all goes back to her, with her guns. One account on Daily Mail of a person who claimed the mom, a LPN, looked after teenage son. There was a meeting of nurses and ole mom refused to have photo for a badge. Go figure, huh? She yapped to the husband about guns, how she was trying to find a "private" gun range that was not overseen by a master. One comment online of her love of guns...yet had some type of dysfunctional and angry son she took to gun ranges. This familiar?

Meanwhile, Daddy espouses he did not know. He wants guns gone. yada. Super star of what they want to hear.

At one count, 400 guns confiscated by students as they were searched going onto bus from campus. No word since.

The media also does not trumpet that he was registered as Independent on voter list. Instead their first yada was that he was a "conservative Republican." Whether "republican" meaning IRA is another head-scratcher as the "dating" online profile was edited several times after his death.

That's all I have from memory...but I do want to see the mama and I do question why it took so freaking long to mention his name. And I do question why cell phones confiscated and gag orders galore. And I especially question why they are hiding mama and her guns.

All in all a very weird story.

Of course even *this* may no longer be an issue where common sense translates into policy, but if there's a candidate for Last Stand of Common Sense, it's the overwhelming national consensus against pointless or dangerous "gun control".

Politically and electorally, the electrified fence has held, as recently as the CT event and the (particularly pathetic) half-assed kabuki in Congress that fizzled to little acclaim.

Sure it's October of the year before, and there are plenty of other problems for her, but does the Very Special Lady *really* want to establish a radical gun-grabber's profile for a presidential run? CO, NV, NM, OH, VA, FL, just off the cuff, seem like places where this would be borrowed trouble for a Dem candidate. And that is not a list any winner can just write off.

Though they are politically diverse, my guess is that gun-grabbing would be a major hurdle for a Dem prez candidate in all of those states (it at least runs the risk of hyping opposition passion/turnout without much marginal gain on their own side).

The Detroit "government" said they had spent money buying back guns to get them off the street. And then he said that buy back programs are stupid, because criminals don't turn their guns in, so buy back programs just hurt the good citizens. Luckily he is black, so he may be able to whether the storm!

It's the logical conclusion of the personal is per se political.

The, oh, I'm feeling generous, so let's call it a theory goes that there is no such thing as a belief that is independent of the person. A being's political expressions are of necessity tied to and indicative of that being's morality and worth as a human. Hilariously, the ever so post modern moral relativists have decided that certain positions are the only positions that can be taken. Thus, if another person takes a contrary position, that person is, again, of necessity, not incorrect or prioritizing a differing set of ideals. No, that person's very moral nature is corrupt.

It's a shadow puppet of actual thought.

It's moralism for those who want to be morally relativistic whilst still indulging in casting out the sinners.

It's reductive and eliminatory towards the very concept of plurality of thought, to say nothing of annihilating the concept of the human as a complex being.

Worst of all? It's boring. Seriously. It's incredibly boring.

Here's why I can sock a Leftist so well. Because the "thought" process is shallow as hell and it's all merely mouth noises about certain catch phrases and tropes. There's no true thought there.

117 The Sheriff is elected by the people in his county/district/municipality. If they don't like the job he's doing they can recall him or wait until the next election and vote him out. Mr. "Gun Control Advocate" can eff off. Seriously the ARROGANCE to go into someone else's "home" and tell them who should/should not be their sherriff.

Kiss my ass, if I wanted to live in Commie central I'd move to California.

Also please note the media is blatantly lying/manipulating about the shooter (half black, half white raised by his black mother and I'D as black yet they say he is white and only interview his white dad with little to no mention that he targeted Christians) and they are now treating the SHERIFF as the bigger villain than the shooter.

It put a spotlight on the media's possible role in propagating these mass murderers (which turns a complete loser into "somebody " ) , and meanwhile it did not check CNN's false reporting that it was a 26 year old from the Midwest, that met someone in Seattle that did not have any connection to the college.

166 What does the movement offer the faithful?
Nothing less than a new life. His rebirth is sometimes symbolized in a new name, exotic and foreign, to make the change of identity tangible. Now there is certainty. He knows exactly what is expected of him. Within a circumscribed set of rules, all is permitted: rage without guilt, relief from responsibility, the assertion of superiority over others.
He knows what action is required of him in the present and can look forward to a millennial future as well. There is no more ambiguity. The conflicts, tensions, self-criticisms, and doubts that assail the rest of us are washed away, and he enjoys a state of equilibrium. He is no longer a passive participant. Righteously, he looks down at those whom he formerly felt to be superior. The same society which scorned him now is forced to recognize that his beliefs are important. The mass man becomes a power in the world.

179 Another question: how did barbarian coward get to school? Did he ride his bike? Did he drive? As that has never been mentioned...if a car was impounded or how he just arrived via moonbeam for classes that week.

A LPN does not make a lotta money working as a home nurse.

If the satan's helper got SSI, did he buy his guns with that $$?

All of the guns were bought legally, though the numbers change. But some have commented that they were expensive. One of the guns was "given" to this loner by a "friend" in Portland. Wait! I thought he had no friends?!?

He wanted some type of gun training and was kicked out of that as well as the Army because he was weird and nervous. Is this why the Mama wanted a gun range without oversight? Because the gun master (or whatever they are called) at some shooting ranges were, "Hail, no, he is not welcome."

No you don't.

Russia is denying access to both air and sea assets first in the Black Sea and Kalingrad and now possibly the Eastern Mediterranean.

Obama stopped the missile defense system in Poland which is land based giving it supposedly a longer range and greater accuracy.

Instead Obama went with missile defense systems that are naval based--the Aegis while at the same time drastically reducing are Navy.

With a nuclear Iran and Russia reducing the air space etc.--options for countering certain measures are getting reduced for both Israel and the United States.

Basically the next election could simply be about which candidate understands the greatly increasing importance of missile defence.

As someone is socking upthread the liberals always fought Reagan on SDI.

They said that irrational actors would not become heads of state. They said nuclear weapons technology could be contained and controlled--and they were wrong.

235 The idea is to dehumanize the opponent so that the rank-and-file doesn't recoil once the suggestions from government to start killing citizens begin in earnest.

If the English can build the carrier before the planes are ready then they can certainly build an underwater ready base on land.

239 So the Sheriff sends a letter to Biden that he thinks that no law would stop mass shootings and that he would not enforce any new deterioration of gun laws, and not long later there is a mass shooting in his jurisdiction, and he is the center of the gun control debate.

And the response here and in MSM is that this is all a coincidence? Wow!

240 The sheriff is right wing. As a result the left wants him destroyed. They are convinced this is sufficient ammo to do just that. Nothing more.

241 why are they interfering in the investigation?

242 Sending a letter to Joe Biden is a roundabout way of dishonoring the president.

Yep, bashing for being insufficiently whatever, that'll help.



The real enemy is too far away, easier to attack allies.

Allies can be traitors.
"A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly, but the traitor moves against those within the gate freely. The traitor speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their arguments. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero

Or it's a way for the administration to setup the debate. You don't this sheriff from Adam...how do you know that he is not in on a setup to have a Gun Control Debate during the election season, and merely not "cooperating with FBI"? Especially with the agreements that have been made with the UN-Agenda 21 etc. They have come out an said the implementation of the UN gun control will happen on the local level thru the police departments.

And "yes" this means that some of these mass shootings would have to be staged. They can't be proven to be real anymore than they can be proven to be Staged. The gatekeeper of information is the MSM....not very reliable. See what happen to Australia prior to their gun ban [Port Arthur Massacre]

As you've pointed out before: remember, their complaints aren't real.

251 What this post is discussed by Ayn Rand like a logical fallacy in the essay the " Argument from Intimidation". I would suggest any political person read it. It is about using social pressure rather than an argument to debate against a position.
