Gun control, on the other hand, is positively wonderful (even though the right to bear arms, unlike the right to drive, is protected by the U.S. Constitution):

And nationalizing one-seventh of the economy in the name of helping sick kids is also just dandy.

We at Twitchy haven’t taken a position on whether the blood alcohol limit should be lowered. We only ask that people who claim to oppose the Nanny State do so consistently, not just when it is politically expedient.

Bill Maher Tears Into Liberals For Not Standing Up On Guns: Too Afraid To Say ‘Second Amendment Is Bullsh*t’

@dmbatten support for universal background checks is a war on 2nd Amendment? Oh no the horror, gun profiteers can't sell to criminals & nuts—
Chief Art Acevedo (@ArtAcevedo) May 19, 2013

@dmbatten @JohnGaltTx police chiefs have supported UBC long before this POTUS & will continue doing so long after he leaves office.—
Chief Art Acevedo (@ArtAcevedo) May 19, 2013

What about the claim that Acevedo opposes enforcement of federal immigration laws?

Acevedo is on record supporting legislation that would prevent police from inquiring about the immigration status of crime victims and witnesses.

And he supports a bill that would allow illegal aliens “to get special permits to drive and obtain auto insurance if they pass criminal background checks and pay a $150 fee.”

Perhaps there is something in @JohnGaltTx’s tweet that inaccurate. If so, Acevedo could have responded by pointing out the error. Instead, he engaged in ad hominem attacks.

@dmbatten Shameful @ArtAcevedo. You are a public servant. You should apologize.—
  (@WO4TG) May 19, 2013

When another Twitter user called out Acevedo for mocking his critics, the police chief doubled down:

@dmbatten excuse who was mocking whom? I guess the First Amendment only applies to those your ilk? I think thou does protest too much.—
Chief Art Acevedo (@ArtAcevedo) May 19, 2013

No one is arguing that Acevedo doesn’t enjoy the same First Amendment rights as other citizens. That is a straw man.

The point is that it is unseemly for a high-ranking public official to address critics in such a childish, vitriolic manner. Acevedo is the police chief for a major city, after all, not (as far as we know) an anonymous commenter at Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.

Hat tip: @WO4TG

Update, 8:47 pm ET:

Shortly after this post was published, Acevdeo deleted the following tweets:

Greenman’s question was prompted by Murdoch’s logic-challenged tweet yesterday linking the IRS scandal to the need for a flat tax and elimination of all deductions.

We suspect that the number of major charitable organizations supporting Murdoch’s proposal will range somewhere between zero and, well, zero.

Charitable organizations like the charitable deduction just the way it is.

Update:

In response to a comment left below, we are reproducing Murdoch’s tweet from yesterday advocating elimination of all deductions:

Dan Pfeiffer: "Law Is Irrelevant" On IRS Scandal youtu.be/uqo6bbetcek—

More from ABC:

“I can’t speak to the law here. The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed so we ensure it never happens again,” Pfeiffer said.

Stephanopoulos asked Pfeiffer if he really thought the law is “irrelevant.”

“What I mean is, whether it’s legal or illegal is not important to the fact that the conduct doesn’t matter…

Evidently, the Department of Justice must investigate irrelevancy to find out if targeting conservative groups is legal. It is apparently above everyone else’s pay grade, including the acting IRS director.

Hey, according to David Plouffe, they had it coming anyway because they were “flourishing.”

But it’s OK, you guys. He totally thinks it’s outrageous anyway.

The lack of self-awareness is staggering. Legal shmegal: It’s all irrelevant.
