A Knoxville, Tenn. man admitted on Tuesday that he threatened the lives of Maricopa County, Ariz. sheriff Joe Arpaio and his family because he feared the lawman might undermine Barack Obama by questioning the legitimacy of his birth certificate — his eligibility to serve as president.(Snip)On Tuesday in a deal with prosecutors in Knox County, Tenn., Cox pleaded guilty to one count of harassment. According to KNXV-TV15, also in Phoenix, he will serve nearly a year in a “boot camp” program which is similar to probation. A court clerk told the TV station that Cox must also attend anger

He better be thankful he’s not going to Maricopa County’s boot camp. Joe’d be looking for him. LOL
If this charge has been "refuted" as the media keep telling us, and if no serious person has any doubts that Obama is a patriotic Natural Born Citizen of the United States, why would he be afraid of these questions? I personally believe that Obama is a US citizen who was born in Hawaii, but my confidence in that belief is about the same as my confidence in tomorrow's weather forecast. It's more likely than not to be right, but I would not be surprised to find a completely opposite result. As for "Natural Born Citizen", I strongly suspect that Obama is ineligible under the traditional meaning of that term - that he was not both born a citizen and the child of two citizen parents.
He’s a dead man in TN. I know many people there and they are big fans of Sheriff Joe.
Write in vote for Joe!!! Now there is a winner!!
Seems President Obama needs to make another speech about the need to introduce civility into our national discourse. Some of his fans didn’t get the message the first time.
This is why I moved to the country a couple of years ago. When Obama is turned out of office this November the riots are going to be epic. There will be blood, and a lot of it. Social unrest is going to become a fact of life in failed urban rat traps.
[because he feared the lawman might undermine Barack Obama]
Øbama is doing a fine job himself.

When you’re taking flack, you’re over the target...
I live near Boston, and last night my wife and I went into the city to go to a Jazz concert at the new wing of the Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum (The one that had all the art stolen in 1990 valued at $500 million)
Beautiful place. New performing center, four vertical levels with one row of seats all the way around, so you can lean forward and rest your elbows on the rails to look down at the performers)
The concert was a “Tribute to Lena Horne”, and since I love jazz and her music, I thought it would be a great event, they would play all the standards that she did so well, etc.
It was nothing like that. The theme was primarily a racial event about how she suffered and preservered at the hands of white America, breaking down racial and gender barriers, etc.
There was some gasbag dressed in red african brocade with some large linen thing draped over a shoulder (google image african brocade and you can see what it looked like) who started things off, and would come back on-stage at various intervals and read notes from papers in his hand while the piano played in the background. It was much what was expected regarding Lena Horne and her career, white people yelling nasty things at her on stage, being unable to stay in the hotel she performed in, marrying a white man she didn’t love to further her career.
At one point, the gasbag talked about how Lena Horne had a drug and alcohol problem, and comparing her to Whitney Houston, said that it was her family’s fault, her fan’s fault and the country’s fault for putting her on a pedestal that she had trouble staying on. The “she had no choice, society forced her into her addictions” view. My wife and I glanced at each other...yep. No personal responsibility there, no mention of any other performers who managed to NOT become addicts.
But it was partway through one of the gasbag speeches, when I heard the word below shouted: “FIRE!” and an older scraggly looking woman came out onto the stage floor to talk to Mister Gasbag.
I was bordering on alarm, but I figured she was telling the fat gasbag about some issue, we might have to leave, or whatever, so I just watched.
The woman walked up to the guy and began shaking her pointed finger in his face.
I thought, “What the hell is this?” Then she turned around and left. The gasbag said: “We live in a country with a lack of civility, where the most popular man in the world, President Barack Obama, has a sitting congressman calling him a liar, and a governer of a state wagging her finger in his face...”
It wasn’t “FIRE” I had heard, it was “LIAR”, and the whole thing was choreographed in.
I was with my wife, who would not consider it worth making a scene about, but I was steaming. It was all I could do to stay in my seat, and that, for her sake.
Throughout the whole thing there were references to Paul Robeson and Barack Obama, but when the gasbag mentioned Paul Robeson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Barack Obama in the same sentence, that almost did me in.
As I thought about it, I knew I hadn’t vetted the performance. I just assumed it would be music, Lena Horne’s music. But it wasn’t, and I could only blame myself for that.
It won’t happen again, that is for certain. Liberals like to say Obama is “post-racial”, but the truth is, he and his followers are nothing of the sort.
Everything is about race.
I was reminded of a variant of the old saying: To a nail, everything else looks like a hammer.
To people like Obama and his cult of personality followers, everything else looks racist to them. And, because they are so heavily invested in it, there is no way that will change in our lifetime.
Great story. :-)
If Mittens is our choice, it may happen.
LOL...I HAD to tell it to someone. I figured fellow Freepers would understand!
“When Obama is turned out of office this November the riots are going to be epic. There will be blood, and a lot of it. Social unrest is going to become a fact of life in failed urban rat traps.”
I work in an “urban rat trap” baby sitting the rats a good deal of the time. I am not too worried about riots at least in our community. As long as the rats have beer, pot, junk food, video games, and TV they are generally too lazy to get off of their backsides unless they think that they might be able to get something for free. So riots, looting, and a little violence... maybe, but “blood and a lot of it”... I don’t think so.
Most of my “customers” don’t have strong feelings about much of anything other than their right to lounge around all day on the taxpayer’s dime. About the only time they claim that they are being discriminated against is when they get into trouble with the law.
The “blood and a lot of it” is going to come would be when the liberals push the country over the edge by bankrupting our country and the system starts to break down. They think that the “change” will mean whatever wealth is left will go to them, but I think that they will be in for a rude awakening... They have over-reached. When the violence comes it; there is a good chance that it will come from all of the fed up law abiding citizens who have been stock piling guns and ammo more than any other society in the history of the world.
The ones who should be worrying are all of those who have been living off the hard work of others. The criminal predators will become the hunted and the lazy asses who want to blame everyone else for their troubles will starve.
Bfl
That was an excellent, dare I say poignant commentary.
Hopefully a full vetting of "Obama" occurs in 2012, before he and his handlers are allowed to launch Act II of their Marxist drama, bringing the story of a free America to it's bitter, tragic end.
