Sheriff Joe responds: I'm no 'whipping boy' for Justice Department

Phoenix - Sheriff Joe Arpaio said a scathing U.S. Justice Department report about his office's law enforcement tactics against Latinos marks "a sad day for America as a whole." Billed as America's toughest sheriff, Arpaio struck a defiant tone at a Thursday afternoon news conference in response to the report, which he called a politically motivated attack by the Obama administration that will make Arizona unsafe. (Snip) Homeland Security also will restrict the sheriff's office use of the Secure Communities program, which uses fingerprints collected in local jails to identify illegal immigrants.

It’s crap like this that gives credence to the thought of secession.

"They're only attacking him because he endorsed Perry."

Not at all. The fascist regime in DC couldn't care less who the Sheriff endorses.

Joe became a marked man and target for destruction the minute he announced the opening of his investigation (along with his carefully-selected "posse" of 300 law enforcement and legal experts) of Obama's legal claim to the throne.

Obama's Brown Shirts in the Justice Department, along with Reichgaulieter Eric Von Holder, are sending a message to other investigative busy-bodies in our country, i.e......."Investigate Der Fuehrer at your extreme peril".

The tandem, working relationship between Obama Holder has us all in peril....and most people don't even realize this at all.

“Holder and the “Messiah” are not and should be removed from office. Send Sheriff Joe to do the job.”

Actually, you’ve hit the target, Dapper. States and sheriffs have the power to investigate, arrest, try and imprison criminals wherever they are in their jursidiction, including criminals in the federal government who infest our states. It’s up to every citizen to encourage the people on our side to do so.

Amen...and if hadn’t found anything they would have left him alone...Apario must have something good coming in Feb!!!

"Somehow I don’t get the feeling that prospect bothers Sheriff Joe very much.

"That’s a man who clearly loves a good fight."

Yep. You're probably right but don't underestimate this evil regime's determination to "put him in his place." An abbreviated martial law in Sheriff Joe's area is a real possibility.

[surfer]

btw I do believe there is a slim chance, albeit very slim that Obama will not actually be on the ballot in November...I do see several Nixon type opportunities arising.

SO true! The pressure is on BO and the gang!

“Perez has spent his entire career in public service. “

No kidding!

“In 2009, Obama tapped Perez to lead the Civil Rights Division, a position that has historically generated intense controversy. Some Los Angeles Latino groups were initially angry that Obama didn’t nominate Thomas Saenz, an adviser to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D), to the post.West, Paul, “Civil rights post nominee may need to brace himself,” Los Angeles Times, April 5, 2009(1)”

So going after Sherrif Joe is double win - discourage the investigations AND make the upset SW Latino community happy again after getting a snub.

Makes (political) sense!

further reveals our “enemy within”

And.... our leading so-called conservative personalities have stated that Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution is a technicality, trivial, doesn't matter, wont go anywhere, foolish, etc. Some have been polite enough to at least be silent, but Ann Coulter called the Constitution defenders “CRANKS” and used the KKK to further make her point. ( I wonder how much Ann was paid to say that?)

Sheriff Joe will be the last man standing, he just has to bide his time. Sheriff Joe will still be office after we give Jug Ears the boot Nov2012

[visually_augmented]

I think it has more to do with this...

They will probably indict Joe in the next few weeks. They want him looking like a nut seeking vengeance when the report comes out. They also hope to ice the sheriff through surrogates, such as drug cartels, before any report or indictment can come out. Make no mistake. Our president is an Indonesian communist thug.
