A Bad Day for Arizona’s Republican Racists
http://www.politicsplus.org/blog/?p=2768

Two of Arizona’s most prominent bigots did not fare well yesterday. DOJ sued Joe Arpaio over civil rights abuses and Jan Brewer made a complete fool of herself.

Once, thirty years ago, I spent a weekend in the Maricopa County Jail. I was picked up on a Friday night on a random stop and released on Monday morning when I went to court and proved that I really had paid the speeding ticket they said was delinquent. While I was there I witnesses extreme racism against Latinos. Guards called them every derogatory name I have ever heard and beat one man brutally for throwing up. I hear things are even worse since Crazy Joe took over.

3arpaio The Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County for not cooperating with an investigation into whether his department was systematically violating the rights of Hispanics.

2. Every day's a bad day for Arizona's Republican Racists
That's how they maintain their high level of poutrage. It's a tough life when some of the worst things that ever happened to a person never happened.

4. I've been assaulted by a Texas DPS trooper
while I was handcuffed. He stomped me in a ditch in broad daylight. The badass had big cowboy boots on. No one stopped. A Chambers County deputy sherrif stood there and watched him do it. Later, when we got to the Chambers County courthouse in Anuhuac, TX, the badass DPS trooper threw me down a flight of stairs while I was still handcuffed because I wanted a lawyer before I took the breath test. . I was in the Army at the time on my way back to Fort Polk from Houston on a Saturday afternoon. Granted, I had a few beers in me. I didn't deserve the abuse I got from that DPS asshole. The Texas DPS Trooper Fund called me once for a donation for injured and killed troopers. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I told the guy why I was laughing. He didn't know what to say.

I have no use for Texas DPS troopers. IF they show me respect, I'll show them some. I never ever shed a tear when one of them is killed. As far as Chambers County and Anuhauc, TX, I would not stop there if it was the last place on the way to Hell. Heartless? Hardly. I saw how they treated blacks and latinos in the jail I got stuck in for one night. I was treated nice compared to them. This was in the mid-70's.

Arpaio is a thug with a gun and a badge. DPS troopers are the same way. He's the poster boy for the wingnuts' law and order bu$hit. I've heard he got away with a few things he's done. His day is coming. Karma is a bitch for assholes like him.

6. The defense of her in this link is a must read

The Fed Continues To Pressure Arizona & Governor Jan Brewer

In a recent debate that Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer conducted with opponent Democrat Terry Goddard on live TV, the pressure that the feds have been exerting shows. Appearing awkward and tired from the strain of defending her state from the continued vicious attacks by the federal government over the illegal immigration issue, the debate took an abrupt turn.

--snip--

Showing the strain of the last few months and what the price of courage in her convictions and protecting the interests of her people has taken out of her, Governor Jan Brewer was obviously distraught and weakened. She abruptly ended the news interview amidst the hammering of reporters and her Democratic opponent, Terry Goddard.




Most of the commentary is on to whot an idiot the blogger is, but this response is priceless:

Joe and Jane, you are true American patriots!!! Listen up people , here's the facts. When the next terrorist attack takes place and the entry point is found to be the southern boarder the soicial-commie's will pay the price and their house of cards will fall , and depending on where and how many innocent will die the true American patiots will then make a stand and the Power and control clowns running the federal government will pay with their heads!!!! Does anyone recall what happened to MUESELINIE !!!


Suppose they were referring to Benito Mussolini?
