"oh no! Sheriff Joe investigated?! EVERYBODY hisPANIC!!"

Nadie_AZ: The DOJ began investigating him while Bush was in office. People have been complaining about him for longer than that. But hey, whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Damn you Obama and your time machine!

Obama doesn't need ploys to win Latino votes. The GOP is driving Latinos into his arms all by themselves.

The timing might be politically motivated but that dude has been a turd in the punch bowl for a while.

You ask that question as if Hispanics were going to vote mostly for Republicans had the DOJ not investigated Sheriff Joe.

Of course this has nothing to do with getting votes. Obama is above pandering for his votes.

He is better than every other politician so quit sullying his good name.

I am sorry but can i ask a legitimate question. why do people act like President Obama is not a politician, like he can't or shouldn't do what other politicians have done and continue to do.

FTFA: the Department of Justice's release of details from a three-year investigation

kinda predates obama's presidency there, eh?

hubiestubert: That he's been protected by the powers that be, because he delivers, is something that threatens a lot of folks.

That is how it was in Detroit with Kilpatrick. The pressure is put on and sooner or later something will break. With Kilpatrick it was leak of text messages in a civil suit. Once that happened, the entire tapestry of corruption unraveled. It will happen with Arpaio. Some low level clerk could one day grow a conscience or, more likely, be made the scapegoat. At that point he'll have less to lose by opening up to the Feds than by crossing his boss.

Black_Lazerus: I am sorry but can i ask a legitimate question. why do people act like President Obama is not a politician, like he can't or shouldn't do what other politicians have done and continue to do.

Nobody said he wasn't. Does that mean an investigation that started during the first Administration only to be continued under the current one of a corrupt sheriff mean they're trying to capture the Hispanic vote?

Sock Ruh Tease: You ask that question as if Hispanics were going to vote mostly for Republicans had the DOJ not investigated Sheriff Joe.

And without offering anything for proof beyond speculation from interested parties.

I'm all for a good speculative story about politics, but you've gotta have something other than two otherwise unrelated facts ("Obama DOJ investigates Sherrif Joe"/"Obama is up for reelection in 2012"). Especially if you consider yourself a reputable news source (and would like to retain that image).

This one also doesn't smell right. Hasn't the Obama ICE deported eleventy brazillion more people than Bush's? If Obama was trying to "woo" Latinos, wouldn't the easiest thing to do be to stop (or slow down on) deporting Latinos?

This sounds like a "Bill Clinton killed two teens in Alabama with a train" story. Thankfully, no one died (except those people in Joe's care over the years...)

Black_Lazerus: I am sorry but can i ask a legitimate question. why do people act like President Obama is not a politician, like he can't or shouldn't do what other politicians have done and continue to do.

Obama is a politician and there is no denying it. Your comment implies that everything a politician does has political motivations. It is pretty clear that Arpaio is a crook. Shouldn't the law enforcement community investigate crooks?

Sarah Palin's Sharia Plan: FTFA: the Department of Justice's release of details from a three-year investigation

kinda predates obama's presidency there, eh?

FTFM: investigation started in march of 2009. so i guess obama had amazing foresight. i suppose it could be but the simpler reason would be that arpaio deserved investigation, natch.

bronyaur1: Yes, because every time the US DOJ investigates a corrupt official who ignores the Constitution, it is always and only because of potential political gain.

Especially if the President is a Negro.

/Seriously, the knuckledragging racist GOP has become the clinically paranoid knuckledragging racist GOP.

Not every time, just 3/5 of the time.

DarwiOdrade: Shouldn't that be "Aquí vienen los política"

you sound gordo.

Black_Lazerus: I am sorry but can i ask a legitimate question. why do people act like President Obama is not a politician, like he can't or shouldn't do what other politicians have done and continue to do.

Becuz socialism? Wait...

yes why can't people just assume the worst without supporting evidence?

if it's good enough for Fox News .....

EvilEgg: Or Sheriff Joe could just be a douchebag that needs to be investigated.

This.

Mr. Holder, is that you? RACE CARD! The rallying cry of the ignorant since the 1980s.

Why don't we just hold the elections in Mexico to guarantee his reelection? After all it's racist that only Americans get to vote for the US President.

Joe should just claim malicious prosecution like the illegal alien with 30 kilos of coke who was penising the 11 year old girl did.

GhostFish: Obama doesn't need ploys to win Latino votes. The GOP is driving Latinos into his arms all by themselves.

LOLWUT?

"Obama's support among Latinos dropped 20 points since his election, with only 47 percent of Latinos approving of his job performance, according to the poll. " (Link) (new window)

I have always loved the "this attack is politically motivated" line

EvilEgg: Or Sheriff Joe could just be a douchebag that needs to be investigated.

Done in Uno

Nadie_AZ: And we knew this was coming. They replaced Candy Andy with Bill the Shill for County Attorney. He isn't going to help with any of this, either.

The stupid, here. It burns.

(((((Internet Hugs)))))

As someone who lives in your neighboring state, might I just say good luck over there... were all counting on you!

///serously, good luck getting rid of that murdering asshole.
///Hope you guys can get your state out of crazyville sometime soon :/

MyRandomName: RACE CARD! The rallying cry of the ignorant since the 1980s.

True, but not in the way, perhaps, you believe.

SJA is a piece of human garbage who should have his ass slowly and deliberately kicked, by ass kicking artisans, back to the 17th century where he belongs. If you have true doubt of this, you probably are a piece of work like him too.

For serious, I and most of the grown ups in the room couldn't give less of a tittle WHY this dirt log is being investigated. Who the fark cares. . . just FLUSH him.

Nadie_AZ: Tingle007: Why don't we just hold the elections in Mexico to guarantee his reelection? After all it's racist that only Americans get to vote for the US President.

Oh this is so very true. It is so true, in fact, that I'm going to invite the Canadians to the next election to help us vote for Universal Health Care. And the Australians. And the English. And the French. And the Kenyans. And the Cubans. And the Russians. And the Chinese. But not the Dutch. F*k the Dutch.

What about the Finnish?

///We should TOTALLY be working for the Finn vote!!!

That link is from before the GOP freakshow got fully underway, curious what his support numbers are like now.

The Dutch are scum.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: I'm thinking the Hispanic vote, especially in AZ, is already a lost cause for the Republicans next November. The same goes for the "reasonable person" vote.

2010 showed how badly the Hispanics can hurt the GOP.

They're coming for you next, subby. Better run and hide, and never submit another Fark headline so they won't be able to track you!

There aren't enough immature words for genitalia to describe Sheriff Joe. But this administration has broken up more immigrant families than any other in history.

Hmm...
