Russell Pearce Apologizes, Kinda-Sorta, for Dark Knight Massacre Remarks

Pearce just can't help but shove the Second Amendment in our faces, even while "apologizing"

This past week has not been kind to recalled, disgraced ex-state Senator Russell Pearce.

First, the ACLU drops a bunch of his old racist e-mails from his legislative days, which Pearce mistakenly pooh-poohs, making him look not just like a racist, but a clueless one to boot.

Then, the Mesa muttonhead receives near-universal condemnation for his "blame the victim" remarks about the massacre in Aurora, Colorado.

A fundraiser for Pearce and his bother Lester, who is running for county supervisor, held Saturday night at a Holiday Inn in Fountain Hills draws a very modest crowd, most of them the usual Pearce-worshippers.

And today, uber-conservative U.S. Senator Jon Kyl endorses Bob Worsley, Pearce's rival in the GOP nomination for state Senator from Legislative District 25. Worsley is a "solid conservative," says Kyl, who will "focus on the issues that matter most to Arizonans."

No wonder Pearce issued this kinda-sorta apology above on his FaceBook page, where his self-serving, offensive comments about Friday's Dark Knight Rising killings have since been removed.

I'm a proud Irish-American Jew. You Lemon are a dirty Red KIKE.

If I receive one more email from your rag forwarded to me you are going to have to get a bag to do your business in. My boyfriend is anxious to give you the Mother of all ass beatings if you catch my drift.

I used to be anti-Arpaio, but you and your demented fans have made me pro-Arpaio.

By the way, your face looks like David Irving's hemorrhoids.

no, the most important thing now is to end these spree killings, but keeping guns out of the hands of lunatics. Fuck off Mr. Pearce your apology offended me.

"We need to find out if there are better ways to be able to spot and help someone whose mental state is deteriorating as badly as this young man's did."

I have a suggestion Russell, look in the mirror and seek out help immediately. Guns are the problem not the solution.

@RetiredArmy exactly, esp in the hands of lunatics that people like Pearce allow to carry guns.

@RetiredArmy Exactly. Pearce should be the first person barred from owning guns due to his well known and observed mental issues.

I would have said Arpaio, but he's already barred from using guns. Well, except his tie tack!

Verbose. The man simply doesn't have the ability to simply say, "I was wrong and I am sorry for what I said".

We have no reason to believe this mush from the mush master of Maricopa County.

Rusty Pearce would have been the first person diving to the floor and dragging women and children over him to protect himself. He's the same coward who joined the National Guard to avoid getting in a real shooting war and he's the same two-faced liar who insisted that the public not be allowed to carry guns on HIS turf (the Arizona senate building).

He's a sad sack of shit who should be tarred, feathered and run out of Mesa on a rail, if only that most appropriate of punishments was still legal.

Marcy, he is also the person who authorized members of state congress to arm themselves in senate buildings, in violation of written law. He's also the one who created the "black list" and had Sal Reza and his friend arrested for nothing.

@TommyCollins thanks for reminding me of that. This piece of shit deserves to be one of the people killed in one of those mass murder spree killings. After all we know he would hide and wouldn't shoot at anything...he's too chickenshit .

Why do these phony apologies always have to contain something like "if there were any victims", "if I offended anyone", and "pain I may have caused"? Obviously there were and you did, jerkoff, or you wouldn't be trying to walk it back.

ptcgaz

lol why can't any of them go, I am sorry, I made a mistake and to anyone I offended or pissed off or what have you I will try and make it up to you?

Isn't that what most honest people would do if they messed up?

@ptcgaz

PT, Pearce has shown that he is not honest. He is just a mentally ill old man. Kinda like the greasy haired guy over at MCSO...

ptcgaz

@MaskedMagician1967 lol true. I mean I might respect some of the idiots with R's next to their names if they had the decency to admit they did something wrong..

Wow, reading that "apology" is sad enough, but reading local has been ex radio show screamer Bruce Jacobs is just about as bad. What a pathetic loser he has become...losing all the radio jobs is bad enough, but being Pearce's loyal ass-lick is worse.

Sorry Ass-wipe, not accepted. After you lose next month, how about you move out of the state and take your monkey boy brother with you? Racist old crackers are a thing of the past Russell, do your part and help continue that trend.

BS Rusty. If you recall from the first post that you deleted, the person 'you knew' was about 5 steps away from you. You no more knew them and felt sorry for them as you did for any of the victims of your bigoted legislation.

Watch your words and choose them carefully, the microscope is on your sorry behind.

Pearce's apology falls into the same catagory as Arpaio's half a$$ed "I apologize, if there were anyvictims.." regarding the 432 sex crimes cases Arpaio put on the back burner and didn't investigate for years, until the bad press caught up with him.

Pearce, Arpaio, TOTALLY LAME!!!
