Phoenix mayor uses fatal shooting to accuse Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon used the occasion of a fatal shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC – allegedly by a white supremacist – to accuse Sheriff Joe Arpaio of being sympathetic to Nazis and neo-Nazis. At a news conference called to discuss Phoenix's light rail system, Gordon led off expressing his sympathies to the family of the victim in the DC shooting. He then called white supremacists "despicable" and wondered aloud why community and law enforcement leaders across the Valley have repeatedly denounced white Supremacists, except for Arpaio.

According to Gordon, the sheriff has had numerous occasions to criticize neo-Nazis, but has instead said things like "I'm the sheriff of all the people. I'll defend anyone's rights." Gordon pointed to a Larry King interview with Arpaio where he quoted Arpaio as saying, "You know, they call you KKK. They did me. I think it's an honor, right? It means we must be doing something right."

Gordon called on Arpaio to, "for the first time," denounce neo-Nazis and their methods.

I’m sure this imbecile was right up front condeming the Muslim supremacist murderer of the army recruiter in Arkansaas and those who influenced him. Right.

>with Arpaio as Sheriff, he cares about one thing. Law-breakers get punished. That’s it.

THAT, I think, is why he is so well respected.

Arpaio is standing up to the Obama "Just Us" department attempt to make him knuckle under to vote fraud friendly policy. This smear is part of a larger attack to remove him as an obstacle to stealing elections.

I broke the law there and got punished. It wasn’t the High Sheriffs fault.

This thing between Gordon and Arpaio is getting completely out of control. Listen up, Mayor Pantywaist! Arpaio’s approval ratings are sky high. You’d be wise to quit bashing America’s favorite sheriff.

Having lived in Tucson for a couple of years, and observed this interesting situation in Phoenix...I will offer this analysis.

The city management and the city cops of Phoenix...don’t have a positive view of Sheriff Joe. The city cops could lay out a hundred screw-ups with the Sheriff’s office and how things were mishandled.

Sheriff Joe continually gets re-elected but then it’s based off his tactics of treating criminals. The curious thing...when you examine the yearly crime rate in the city and the county...it’s stabilized (for at least ten years...maybe even longer). So whatever actions Joe takes on the criminals in his jail...doesn’t really matter anymore. The crime rate is not improving as you gaze across all the numbers.

I will also offer this....that if Sheriff Joe had broken any laws...the city cops would have handed evidence over to the state, and he would have been arrested already. This hasn’t happened. So he is staying on the legal side of events.

You mean that light rail that I drive past every morning? The one that is EMPTY every day during rush hour traffic?

Also, multiple Alinskyisms in this attack:

"Keep the pressure up; don't let up." It's supposed to be a press conference on light rail, but instead he devotes it to attacking Joe Arpaio ad hominem.

Such outrageous comments cannot go unnoticed by this poster, and so I copied every member of Gordon's staff--from secretaries to chiefs of staff, to suggest (among other unpleasant things) that they'll all be on unemployment rolls when Gordon loses his next election. The list follows:

toni.maccarone@phoenix.gov ; bill.scheel@phoenix.gov ; marchelle.franklin@phoenix.gov ; george.weisz@phoenix.gov ; gerardo.higginson@phoenix.gov ; joe.villasenor@phoenix.gov ; ryan.burke@phoenix.gov ; scott.phelps@phoenix.gov ; tiffany.torres@phoenix.gov ; natalie.wilson@phoenix.gov ; tracy.colecchio@phoenix.gov ; cindy.salazar@phoenix.gov ; rosalinda.lopez@phoenix.gov
