WHOOOO HOOO!!!! (from a FIRE coalition email I just received)

A MUST SEE video.

"After all of the abuse the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office takes from La Raza, MALDEF, ACLU, and their Mayor Gordon of Phoenix for enforcing the law, the Sheriff Deputies finally fight back in a press conference of their own!"

On Friday, the ongoing feud between Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and Sheriff Joe Arpaio escalated. After addressing participants at the Reform Not Raids National Summit, Gordon compared Arpaio to the racist sheriffs in the Deep South during the civil rights movement.

But at least one member of the city council disagreed with Gordon’s comments about Arpaio.

“The mayor is speaking for himself. He is not speaking for the whole council and he is definitely not speaking for me,” said Councilwoman Thelda Williams.

She told KTAR’s Ankarlo Mornings that what Gordon is doing is more likely to start violence in the community instead of resolving problems.

Arpaio fired back at Gordon’s comments. “He has no knowledge of what’s going on and I think the people of Maricopa County and the United States of America understand his garbage,” he said.

Arpaio added Gordon’s comments are an insult to him and his deputies.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, speaking at an immigration-reform conference Friday, said that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s workplace raids and immigration sweeps have given people the impression the state is becoming a hotbed for racial discrimination.

Gordon said that while he was in Washington, D.C., this week “several people told me that, due to profiling and other civil-rights abuses by the Maricopa County sheriff, Arizona is getting the same reputation as Alabama had in the 1950s.”

Later, Gordon told reporters that Arpaio is “not using dogs or hoses, but he’s targeting people of color.”

“This guy is in fantasy land,” Arpaio said. “He’s insulting not only this sheriff but all the deputy sheriffs, federal ICE agents and 160 of my officers who are risking their lives every night to enforce the immigration laws.”

Gordon has been ramping up his rhetoric, the sheriff said, perhaps in a bid to receive a federal appointment. The mayor faces term limits in January 2012.

Gordon’s comments came nearly a year he first publicly denounced Arpaio’s actions at a Cesar Chavez luncheon.

On Friday, the mayor told about 100 people at the Reform Not Raids National Summit in Phoenix that he believes the chorus of opposition against Arpaio has helped intensify a federal probe into possible civil-rights violations by the sheriff.

Excellent! It's about time people everywhere stand up and tell the victim-hood hustlers to stick it. They are offensive and they put us all in danger when they lay their bogus agenda on the very people who are there to protect us.

He looks like someone should hit him in the forehead with a frying pan, or already has. He looks like he is a few cards short of a deck.

His eyes remind me of several people I know who were on Crystal Meth.

I read about a month ago that Phoenix was the kidnapping capitol of the US and a cess pool of illegals seeking sanctuary. This mayor should resign in disgrace.

I’ve never seen a video like this.
It’s amateurish which adds to the impact, so very well done
I like the first sheriff who keeps on telling Mayor Gordon to just “SHUT UP!”. I think he said it three times

LOL it was funny each time he said it. Though he was pissed and dead serious

For every lawsuit there are many illegals that leave. Works for me. Or do you not want the Peace officers to enforce the law?

Thanks for the Mayor’s e-mail address. I hope everyone floods his email with letters of protest!

They pay their own way to Washington and have no 6 figure lobbyist salary to ease back on. They do what they do for love of country and it is evident in their sincerity and passion.”

Just doing the lobbying illegal aliens don't want done.
