Al Sharpton, a renown race-baiter and one-time Democrat presidential candidate, has now teamed with the far-left and unsavory ACORN which has been linked to voter fraud, in calling for the ouster of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. They accuse Arpaio of “racial profiling,” and demand that he be removed from office — either through resignation or forced expulsion.
“Get me to resign?” Arpaio chuckled. “The people have reelected me five times.”
Watch the video here.
Al Sharpton should know a thing or two about racial profiling. He gained national prominence based on the 1987 Twana Brawley case, in which he acted as the advisor to the 15-year-old Brawley, who alleged she had been abducted, covered with feces and raped by six white men, some of whom were police officers and one an assistant Dutchess County New York District Attorney.
Although the allegations caused a sensation, whipping up racially divisive national media attention, eventually a lack of factual evidence and discrepancies in her claims resulted in the charges being revealed as a fabrication. Sharpton and some of his co-conspirators were successfully sued civilly for defamation.
And this is the guy to denounce our sheriff?

You guys must be mind readers! I just heard about this lunacy on the radio and thought I’d see if anything was on the blogs. First stop was Seeing Red AZ and I’m not disappointed! Right out of the chute I thought about this case and couldn’t remember the girl’s name for the life of me. This is the post I would have written if…
1. I had a blog.
2. I had the time.
3. I could write well enough.
4. I had a better memory!
Thanks! You nailed Sharpton.

Joe Arpaio suggested Sharpton stage his march before summer arrives. The sheriff does his job but still keeps his good sense of humor despite all of the negativity aimed at him from the left. Those of us who keep re-electing him, also appreciate him.
Keep up the good work, Sheriff!

The truth is no one knows more about “racial profiling” than the Rev. Sharpton. That’s his stock in trade. BTW, he’s called Reverend, but I’ve never heard the name of his church or if he preaches regular sermons. Somehow I doubt that this hypocrite is a bonafide minister. With his long curly locks and zoot suits, he looks more like a “procurer of women.”

As for me and my neighbors, we proudly stand with Sheriff Arpaio!
False charges of racism always seem to turn around and defeat the accuser. It will be no different with Rev. Slick.

Time to plan the march to counter the racist Sharpton and his buddies at ACORN as well as Wilcox. We the citizens of this country have had it with illegals and their backers. We need to be heard, especially now that B.O. is moving forward with “comprehensive immigration reform”.
