PHOENIX (AP) — The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos, including a pattern of racial profiling and discrimination and carrying out heavy-handed immigration patrols based on racially charged citizen complaints.

Please do not alter titles.

I do not understand. How can I alter a title? After it is posted, I have no ability to change it.

APNewsBreak: Barack Hussein *Osama is an illegal alien.

*Obama is Swahili for Osama.

It's funny Sheriff Joe said that the SRM were reporting every bathroom break he's had over the last 2 years.....yet when his posse looks into Obama’s fraudulent past. Crickets.

GO JOE!!....stick it so far up their ass it winks out them when they brush their teeth.

I'm sorry, you're going to have to bring me up to speed on this. You're saying that sheriff Arapaio has Obama's "life history documented," which is presumably damning, and is going to release it in February?

Why February, exactly?

Arpaio faces a Jan. 4 deadline for saying whether he wants to work out an agreement. If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.

The FedMob issues an ultimatum of intimidation and blackmail.

You are exactly right. I wish it were just the moonbats at Fogblow who made the argument I cited. Yet I have seen it countless times right here on this site. How can the people who put forward such obvious BS *not* be Obots??? The evidence has been there from the beginning. Not even Dems are immune. Stepanopolis [however you spell it] asked one very mild, non-threatening question of Obama the candidate re: Jeremiah Wright. The fascists of Journolist coalesced instantly on a strategy of severe, scathing retaliation [against Steppi]. They carried it out, too—so effectively that no other ‘journalist’ dared mention the name of Wright to Obama ever again.

Yet people have the gall and unmitigated jerkitude to say, ‘Since no official has investigated the ‘birther’ claims, they must be nonsense’.

There are only two options. The people who say that are stupid. Or they are Obots. That is the choice; there is no third option.

They have JACK on this guy.

When Joe responds he'll likely just say "shove it" and "if you have something, prosecute...otherwise stay the hell out of our business".

Eric Holder is setting the stage for violence.

Think Ruby Ridge and Waco, but Holder will use communist street thugs. It wont be overt.

Joe should issue a one-sentence reply.. “I don’t think I’ll take too seriously this letter from our gun-running, racist criminal Justice Dept.”

Maybe Joe should release the report a little sooner. I guess it should be out in 45 days.

Hopefully its got a full skeleton with some meat on the bones.

( *** APNewsBreak: Feds say Arpaio violated civil rights *** )

The problem is ? the law of unintended consequence that by them going after Sharif Joe that they will make Obama's non eligibility more of a news story and more Americans will be come aware that Obama is not eligible to be president...

In other words, the Feds going after Joe is giving Joe and the issue of eligibility more free press time and free publicity.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio should hold a nation wide News conference on why is Obama and Holder going after sheriff Joe on false trumped up charges ? and is it because of Sheriff Joe’s investigation on Obama’s fraud ?

That is exactly how I hope this stuff blows up in their face. The timing of these accusations is too coincidental to be innocent.

Do you think the flash-mob robberies are practice runs for Holder’s street thugs?

“The timing of these accusations is too coincidental to be innocent.”

Given that the Bush DOJ started this process in 2008, what really seems too coincidental is Sheriff Joe’s jumping on the birther bandwagon this year just when the investigation is about to heat up.

It takes 3 years to "heat up" an investigation? Just goes to show you the high degree of concern and importance with which they regarded this matter.

Shouldn't they have "saved" the victims in the intervening three years some misery if they thought the Sheriff's Dept. was abusing them?

Yeah, i'll buy that.
