"Joe Arpaio, who calls himself "America's toughest sheriff," has gone rogue. Consumed by ego, accused of racial profiling, and running roughshod over the federal government, this incurable media hound is flirting with another title: "outlaw."

Things ARE bass-akerds in S. Cali.
Appears to have played off this article:

“Fair and Balanced” yeah, he’s heard of the phrase ....
Joe Arpaio is a national hero, not listening to the federal government and actually following the law.
Naverette is an open borders shill. A disgusting POS.
Described me perfectly.......
Navarrette is a racist.
Palin/Arpaio 2012
LOL!
If Naverette is a conservative I’d hate to see a liberal at his paper, he’s a looney toon.
Sounds like the sheriff is doing the right thing.
The odds of this happening are at least a million to one.
One the streets of Phoenix, a billion to one.
If all the sheriffs in the southwest enforced the laws like this guy, we wouldn’t have 90% of our illegal immigrant problem.
He’s taking a stand. (just like ol’ Buford Pusser from “Walking Tall”)
1. The Austin unAmerican Statesman is a typical media appendage of the CPUSA.
2. Arpaio *is* the law.
First badass cowboy to frightened dude:
“Why, around here stranger, we hang a man for that.”
Second badass cowboy:
“A whole lot less than that.”
(From some old ‘50’s low budget cowboy movie.)
He gets a lot of play in the *sanctuary* city of Austin's paper.
Anybody doing the great things Joe Arpeo is doing is going to have enemies.
All the sheriffs (and the Federal Government) should do what Joe is doing.
Rush Limbaugh is being badmouthed by NFL coaches for things they thought they heard somebody say he said.
During the Inquisition (and don’t kid yourself that it was limited to Spain) the victim didn’t necessarily know who his accuser was. Fact is, the accuser didn’t even have to be telling the truth. That evil syndrome is creeping into this country.
“Palin/Arpaio 2012”
I’ll second that motion!
The county sheriff is THE AUTHORITY in his county.
HE DOES NOT ANSWER TO THE FEDS
Check out oathkeepers videos on you tube and see what sheriff mack says about sheriffs powers.
In the article not once was he accused of breaking the law. It made suggestions that he had but did not say he did. Typical left wing smear job.
“The Austin unAmerican Statesman is a typical media appendage of the CPUSA.”
Not as much as some but, your statement is basically true.
Sheriff Joe is following constitutional law not the flimsy, *made as you go* law used by the Feds.
Newsflash, Ruben: being Hispanic doesn't exempt you from the law.
It takes the nerve of a burglar for a mouthpiece of millions of foreign resident lawbreakers to call the southwest’s best lawman—an outlaw.
We’re in Wonderland now.
When did Austin become the capital of Arizona?
“Typical left wing smear job.”
That describes it perfectly.
QUE?
We have a good Sheriff here in Yuma County Az. His name is Ralph Ogden. You wouldn’t know it from his actions and words, but he is a registered Dem. Yuma County is pretty conservative and we keep electing Ogden. I vote for him because he is the quintisential western lawman. From what I have seen he doesn’t play politics. He runs a tough jail, inmates write to the paper constantly complaining they only get 3 showers a week, only get 1 hour TV time, and they can only watch the History channel. He has also endorsed Arpio on many occasions.
Good to know. Thanx. There’s hardly any news out of Yuma. Is that a sign that things are good?
Unemployment is bad here, worse than ever. Defense Contractors laid alot of people off in Sept including yours truely. Other than that it’s just peachy.
Bwawawawawawawawawawawawawawawa! That's s good one.
I wondered about the title until I saw the author’s name - an illegal alien appologiest.
appologiest = apologist
Ah, the Austin American Statist-man. Y’all should know Austin is the most liberal city in Texas, and the home of state government.
Ruben clearly never met an illegal he didn’t like.
He has one good point: “Most illegals are Hispanic, but most Hispanics aren’t illegal.” I don’t think any of us want Americans who happen to be of Hispanic descent hassled. If that’s going on it should be stopped immediately.
That’s true. And important. But the ones who hang out at the park across from my house, who don’t speak a lick of English, ARE illegal. The ones that infest a nearby store parking lot ARE illegal. The ones that hang out on sidewalks three miles down the street ARE illegal. The ones that get in wrecks and run away ARE illegal.
If Sheriff Joe concentrates on folks like them, good riddance ! Deport them all, and their anchor babies too !
When I get pulled over for having an expired tag or a broken light, I don't feel like the cop was after me because he thought I was Hispanic. He pulled me over because I was violating the law and that's his job.
I'm not at all a fan of DWI or seat belt road searches but, if my city was infested with criminals/illegals, that might be called for.
Hell, I wish Sheriff Joe would come to the Austin area and round a few up.
