AZ protesters attempt to shut down Sheriff Joe Arpaio

By see-dubya  •  June 21, 2008 06:38 AM

One of the complaints I hear about Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is that he “works the media”.

You’re damn right he does, and it’s a good thing, too. His pro-illegal immigration opponents certainly work the media, and if Arpaio didn’t deploy some countermeasures he would be out of a job. Or if these guys have their way, crippled and unable to do his job effectively:

Critics of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio staged a raucous show Thursday in hopes of pressuring the Board of Supervisors to monitor more closely his enforcement of immigration laws and the amount of public money spent on lawsuits that involve his office,

…yeah, lawsuits that these protesters or their activist friends probably filed themselves…

The protesters, hundreds strong, were unsuccessful in holding the five elected officials to any promises. The Supervisors unanimously approved a $2.4 billion budget, up slightly from this year, with cuts in nearly all departments and programs, and about 428 eliminated vacant positions and layoffs.

More from Sheriff Joe back here, and a grudging MSM admission of his success here.

    douche bag.. stop with the name calling..

    Or..

    Robscottw. I think your point would be better taken without refering to everyone here as ‘Brown shirts’ and make a point about Joe saying, “I like tent city and the pink underwear but the concerns I have regarding Sheriff Joe are 1) mistaken SWAT attack on home, 2) bureaucratic slug, 3) undercover vice officers making the arrest AFTER the act.. ”

    flies, honey, vinegar..

    Democrat millionaires need illegal Mexican laborers to pick infected tomatoes because Republicans ended slavery and Jim Crow in the South. Asians immigrants worked themselves out of poverty so who else was left? No wonder they are “cotton pick’n MAD” at the sheriff for interfering with their sweatshop labor. The Press always says it is Republican Corporations doing the labor abuse, but somehow it is Democrat millionaires interfering with the fence and stopping enforcement of the border security.
    Democrat platform this year: shut down legally operating businesses; increase unemployment benefits; increase taxes on lawful citizens who work hard; declare a moratorium on patriotism - to end in the year 3000; reparation for slavery - actual formal slaves are to be excluded and no ID to be required for the benefit and all whites are to pay- this will be kept hush-hush until after elections; all Gitmo terrorists are to be freed and their lawyers to become millionaires; actual elections for unions to be banned along with as many other elective offices as possible - next election cycle Democrat primary winners to be declared before any elections; hate laws to be passed - hate being defined as “offensive thinking. speech, voting, religion except Islam, anti-affirmative action, quoting Democrats; further actions to make conservatism illegal to continue (Tom Delay still has not had a trial - think crook Elliot Spitzer, crook Nifong, crook Janet Reno, crook Ronnie Earl, etc,etc,etc; Gays to run Military - long standing Navy jokes to become reality (LOL).; decriminalization of pedophilia; Spanish to be recognized as second primary language; Detroit auto companies to declare bankruptcy, Social Security taxes to increase but those who pay the most to be denied any benefit; Medicare to be turned into Medicaid so that only the super wealthy will have decent health care; the list is endless.
