Empty article meant to "imply" more than inform. Beside Joe is one of most harassed and investigated officials in America. Scumbags like Holder are more worried about harassing a sheriff than doing their job protecting America

You mean the democrats backing civil rights after they fought them? After they were ready to split the country up and fight a war to keep black people as slaves? Those democrats?
I'm ready and willing to learn. Please link to a republican policy based on race. I have a couple dozen democrat ones ready to post.

BTW I can search around on google, Bing, yahoo or any other search method and find links stating the moon landing never happened or that the nazis never killed any Jews or large amounts of radiation is good for your body. Just because someone took time to post it on the internet does not mean its correct.

You realize that Hitler banned the socialist party and routinely jailed and killed socialists, right? The Nazis were 'socialists' in the same way that Democratic People's Republic of Korea is 'Democratic".

Did you know that the original concentration camps were in fact used to jail socialists and communists? Socialist, my ass.
Hitler also banned Unions.

All very Democratic libruuul things, in conservative delusional reality.

Of course, words confuse conservatives, which is why they're such good subjects of the propaganda Master Limbaugh vomits on a daily basis.

You mean like the democrats did in the South for how many years?

Keep reaching buddy. You'll get there.
Yes, when Southern Democrats were the conservative party, they did the same thing in the South.

Then, between FDR and finally LBJ, all of the southern conservatives who were Democrats started to shift to the Republican party, as the Republican party became the conservative bigot party.

Ol' Strom Thurmond exemplifies this almost perfectly, but any number of the thousands of Democratic state and national politicians who switched over to the Republican party in the civil rights era will do.

Keep on keepin' on!

Yeh, but they saw the light of Jesus back around 1968, so they're all Republicans now.

Can you post a republican policy that was aimed at race?

I'm seriously hoping someone can post one. We've got all the democrat ones from forever ago against blacks and new ones for minorities. I honestly can't think of a republican one and I'm looking for help. If there are some, great! If not, that's fine. I am just looking for something official and not some hillbilly goat fucker's ramblings.

I know I am wasting my time here but...

Over a hundred and fifty years earlier, yes, those Democrats who were racists and proud to be slave owners were just that. Then some history passes, Nixon and Atwater wave their magic Southern Strategy wand and blam!, racist Democrats start to become Republicans! Then Saint Ronaldus of Raygun comes along with his welfare queen speech on the Mount and the last few racist Democrats fled to the welcoming arms of the Republican party. Today the south is largely Republican, just like it was largely Democratic before the civil rights era. The racist Democrats were pissed that good Democrats beat their asses so they retaliated by pretty much taking over the Republican party. Times change so lets stick with current history while remembering where we all came from in the past.

You nutjobs who love to live in the past are dragging down our future.

Ok, post 12 of them.
Well, the thing is, the "Democrat ones" are from when Southern Democrats were conservative. Context doesn't matter for most conservatives, since they operate with a philosophy that can fit on a bumper sticker.

Here in 'Murrica, modern conservatives wave away actual history and instead focus on particular conjuring words. So, even though Southern Democrats were the segregation party until roughly 1964 when bigoted Southern Democrat conservatives switched to the Republican party and have been welcomed with open arms since...it's the Democrat™ party that are the real racists.

Pay no attention to d̶i̶n̶o̶s̶a̶u̶r̶ ̶f̶o̶s̶s̶i̶l̶s̶ the mass migration of Southern Democrats to the Republican party post civil rights legislation. That's just a trick by t̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶v̶i̶l̶ Saul Alinksy, Ben Ghazi, and the libruuul media to fool everyone into voting against 'Murrica.

Once you realize that the delusional reality that conservatives live in is faith-based, it becomes easy to disregard most of their inane ramblings.

Don't bother you'll get crap from 50 plus years ago. I'll modify it, post five links that deal with an event for someone who is still in office because those are the important one. We need to get the word out so they can be voted out of office.

Just help me out here please? Was there ever a Republican policy, bill or law that was about race? My Google skills failed me and all I got were extremists from both sides. I'm not saying there never was one, I'm asking for someone to help me find something because apparently I suck.

Maybe if he wasn't a douche bag who pissed on the bill of rights he wouldn't be so "harrassed".

You're arguing with Master Limbaugh by proxy. You lose, simply because you exist here in observable reality.

And now, the coy innocence routine. Repub strategists are so good that they can even convince racists that they're not racist-

http://www.thenation.com/article/17...ers-infamous-1981-interview-southern-strategy

All of which has little to do with Sheriff Joe. Arpaio has pulled a lot of shit over the years, become a right wing authoritarian idol in the process, a la Rick (it takes balls to execute an innocent man) Perry, but he crossed the line a long time ago.

Using County resources to harass & intimidate political opponents is unacceptable.

Defying the DoJ & a Federal Judge is unacceptable, regardless of the issue.

Targeting the Judge's wife in any way is *completely* unacceptable. It doesn't matter what she may or may not have said, because she enjoys freedom of speech just like the rest of us. She does not speak for her husband but rather for herself.

It's an arrogant & stupid foul that only right wing authoritarians can excuse.

Fucked? You betcha, and rightfully so.

Is that really where the whole republicans are racist thing comes from? That's dumb. But I get why it's repeated so often. Thanks!


Back on track: Sheriff Joe shouldn't have messed with a judge, let alone his wife. Something tells me he wanted a nasty court case to happen. There is no way he didn't think this would come out.

Me thinks Joe will be retiring soon.

There's no way that any political operator deliberately steps in the shit like that. It seems likely that Arpaio was trying to dig up some shit on the wife to blackmail the Judge. What other purpose could be served?

Blinded by self importance, ambition & ideological zeal, he figured it would never come out. Two of his lawyers have bailed out & his lieutenants are turning on him. If he were half as smart as he thinks he is, he'd have sought a deal long ago, one where he pleads guilty to civil contempt & retires from public life. Probably not, huh?

To be honest, yea.

The guy obviously has some screws loose but I always kind of liked that about him. He did things that weren't normal but were effective. But using the assets the public has entrusted to you to dig up dirt on rivals and their families? I'm not ok with that.

But by this point his ego is for sure out of control. It sucks because I really did like him but he's too far gone to learn.

Thanks again for that link. I'm going to buy the book "The GOP-Haters Handbook". Sounds like a good read!

Hitler was a socialist, Stalin a communist. Those are 2 people the left would love.


Hitler was a fascist and he came to power by burning down the Reichstag then blamed it on the commies. Once the commies were out of the way the Nazi's consolidated power and...

Don't confuse the name, National Socialist Party, as anything like socialism.

So much attention for one county sheriff in Arizona. Meanwhile the Clinton Foundation is taking in a millions and making sure a Russian company gets a cut of American uranium mines.

If you think Arpaio is a whackjob loonie incessantly finding ways to prove that he can be even better at it, I refer all of you to the folks who voted him into office........SIX times.

They must either have a sense of humor better than anyone flying out of the Cuckoo's Nest could ever hope to fledge into, OR are crazier than Arpaio himself.

Either way, by now, if Arpaio ever gets elected again, it'll be for the sole reason that his supporters had voted him back in purely out of spite for all those interfering nosy outsiders.

I like Sheriff Joe for the simple fact that his existence pisses off the left so much. I'd vote for him.


Twice!

your'e a strange bird, rudeguy.

Hitler was a socialist, Stalin a communist. Those are 2 people the left would love.

Hitler was a fascist, dingbat. :D

Anyway, let's all be sure to remember your strange love for this psychopath the next time you rail about unchecked police power in these forums. methinks you have no real convictions in life regarding an issue; you merely side with the perspective that best angers your perceived "enemies.


For whatever reason, I like you rudeguy; but you truly come off as a loudmouth one-issue type that really has no skin in the game--just ready and willing to rage at the things that your club tells you to rage at.
