I just read the complaint filed by the Holder Justice Department against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (See also PJ Tatler on the radical lawyers who wrote the complaint.) The complaint includes a collection of sufficiently insensitive anecdotes by MCSO employees. One of the acts giving rise to the federal lawsuit is this outrage:
MCSO supervisors involved in immigration enforcement have expressed anti-Latino bias, in one instance widely distributing an email that included a photograph of a Chihuahua dog dressed in swimming gear with the caption “A Rare Photo of a Mexican Navy Seal.”
This allegation gives you the opportunity to experience how a Justice Department attorney’s worldview colors evidence in a case. (For similar biases, of course see PJ Media’s DOJ Defends Employee Comment that Mississippi Is ‘Disgusting and Shameful’). Here is the photo that will form an integral part of the United States Department of Justice’s case against Sheriff Joe:
To the DOJ lawyers who brought the case, this photo is evidence of “anti-Latino bias.” Put aside the fact the dog is not wearing “swimming gear” as the DOJ lawyers write (it is SCUBA gear, not swimming gear). For sure, the photo jabs at the comparative weakness of the Mexican navy in view of the prowess and skill of the American Navy Seals. The breed of dog certainly conjures images of Mexico, perhaps because the dog is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Whether this photo has any relevance in proving an “anti-Latino bias,” I will leave to the eye of the beholder. One thing is for sure, it sure doesn’t carry much weight.
Good luck Winsome and Sergio, your crawl to the outer reaches of the limb is going to be fun to watch.
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight,
it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Arpaio is the highest authority in his county.
Holder is not.
Someone have the Canadian Navy pic?
I know that Obama is desperate for something to insure the Hispanic vote this fall but picking a fight with Sheriff Joe is some of THE worst advice he’s been given.
Bullwinkle in scuba?
Very true.
Most folks don’t understand just how much power a county sheriff has.
Arpaio ought to retaliate with pictures of dead and mutilated Americans who were killed by illegals in their state. Billboard it everywhere.
Make sure this is in big letters,
“Sponsored by US Attorney General Eric Holder.”
Is that a pic of Winsome Gayle or a 13 year old Trayvon Martin?
“Ms.” ? I’ll need to see the birth certificate first.
That’s not a chick, that’s a man baby. Yeah!
No gold teeth...
If the Obama/Holder Injustice Dept have their way there could be a lot of truth in that cartoon.
I hear you both, tranny also crossed my mind.
LOL!!!
GOOD JOB! LOL
