George Soros pledges $10 million to defeat Sheriff Joe for reelection

Conservative Patriot
April 15, 2012

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is under siege by the Obama administration.

Obama has joined forces with George Soros and “La Raza” – not to mention the entire Leftwing liberal political establishment – in a multi-million dollar smear campaign to destroy and discredit Sheriff Joe, “America’s Toughest Sheriff” solely for doing his job and doing it well.

And to top it all off, they are spending millions of your tax dollars to do it.

Already, federal bureaucrats handpicked by this administration are working as “monitors” in Sheriff Joe’s Maricopa County office to stop him from enforcing immigration law.

More than anything else, the Spender-in-Chief wants to stop Sheriff Joe from continuing the Cold Case Posse investigation of his Constitutional eligibility to be President – an investigation which has already unearthed ‘probable cause’ and evidence of a systemic effort to cover-up and conceal information surrounding Barack Hussein Obama’s alleged citizenship.

Radical amnesty fanatics just held a protest demanding that the federal government step in and strip Sheriff Joe of his badge – Obama’s buddy George Soros even pledged $10 million to defeat Sheriff Joe for reelection.

We know Obama’s utter failure to reign-in his out-of-control spending has left you broke as gas prices continue to soar right along with the cost of groceries. And let’s not forget, many of us will be forking over our hard-earned dollars to Uncle Sam this coming Tuesday to pay for Obama’s nanny-state and welfare for the 12 million illegal immigrants whose fraudulent votes he’s depending on for reelection.

Yes, I'm sure that it is it. How many immigration laws must one enforce to erase the years of abuse of power? How many immigration laws must be enforced to compensate for the hundreds of rape victims? SB1070 surely has to repay the millions of unaccounted funds in the MCSO, right? I salute George Soros for his contribution. I would rather have my taxes go to getting that tyrannical p.o.s. out of power than to pay his salary.

Will enjoy seeing Soro's waste $10 million. For those of you who think the sheriff is a fascist. I take pleasure in a sheriff that upholds all laws and does not pick and choose. It is the laws we are trying to change, ie war on drugs. I respect him for standing up to the federal government as I see county sheriffs as the top law enforcement officer for local communities. I am from Orange County California and I wish our sheriff and the sheriffs north and south of me would push back against the federal government abusing my fellow county citizens. The federal war on drugs runs rampant in LA, Orange, and San Diego counties through intimidation and threats.

On this specific cause I can support Soros. I think I've seen about everything. Pink, dog food costing more than inmate meals, being proud of the fact dog food costs more than meals, slave labor, uninvestigated child abuse cases, millions of missing funds, child pornography charges for judges who oppose, child pornography charges being dropped after ruining the names of said "suspects," suppression of freedom of speech (as in going to a sweat box in 125 degree weather for saying on television you don't think his tent city concept was a good idea), TENT CITY. I could go on and on. I'm sure you support those though, right? Heat stroke just doesn't happen fast enough for that p.o.s. And anyone who agrees with his sadistic measures.

And which law is that? I am opposed to bullies. I am opposed to sadism. I am opposed to abuse of power. Arizona actually has rather good laws (compared to Ohio). Don't assume I am opposed to laws. And if you are hinting at SB1070 I really don't support or oppose it. One of those controversial issues I'll leave to the state.

An interesting comment from AJ's coverage of this story:


Dunagan says: April 14, 2012 at 8:23 pm (http://www.infowars.com/george-soros-pledges-10-million-to-defeat-sheriff-joe-for-reelection/comment-page-1/#comment-3135713)
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is coming up against a gang of elite criminals who are forming a racket for the purpose of Obstruction Of Justice. The timing of their actions are critical, to block disqualification of the unproven one. These crooks and criminals will stop at nothing to protect their criminal network of traitors and spies. They need their election frauds to continue their criminal network.

How long would a bookie last if he started posting fake numbers, as the criminal political network has. These political crooks are more corrupt than the Mafia, when it comes to numbers fraud. Now they want to run their unqualified Obama horse, by knocking out the gate master.

The government is funding traitorous activities against the constitution — granting amnesty to illegals with-out needed skills or jobs. They are helping to fuel illegal sweat shop activities or taking over activities of bike gangs. It’s a lot to do with the illegal trafficking of banker drugs.

How do these illegals come to the attention of the Sheriff anyways if they are staying out of trouble. Obama just want’s to run his own criminal empire and needs the support of thugs — who are much like him. It’s a total racketeering operation, to be intimidating those who follow the Constitution as The Law. Obama has never shown how it is at flaw. He merely breaks the laws arbitrarily at his own whim, nor does he make any challenge to it, cause he knows he would lose.

The man in the white house is a big time crook along with his gang of political mafia criminal network. He stands in the way of Law and liberty for America citizens and rolls in harsher sets of rules to deal with imported terrorist potentials — creating new problems to create worse solutions.

They sell military weapons to thugs and shirk responsibly when boarder guards get shot by those weapons — this is their real attitude towards boarder policy and foreign spies. They reward the lawless and punish the citizen, to keep the money laundering operation rolling along. One way to avoid what might become perceived as ‘ethnic cleansing’ by La Raza would be to keep the illegal unskilled out in the first place. Or is Obama going to give them jobs in the Acorn gang of political thugs. We know what Obama the CIA operative is all about, gangsters and political Mafia, it is his heritage. 11 million illegals to justify the police state. The culture of dominators think that crime pays, and is an industry they pretend to thwart but secretly support. They want all the illegals cause they are big-business for the police-state.
A pretty picture develops about supporting G. Soros ... YES ?

It is nice of Soros to give the media companies, campaign workers, hotels, restaurants, pizza companies, coffee companies, Costcos and so on of Maricopa County $10,000,000. I don't care one way or another about Arpaio. I understand most people in the liberty movement are negative about him. I've never had any interactions with him myself and don't care to.

Obama Lawyer Admits Birth Certificate Is A Forgery (http://www.therightperspective.org/2012/04/15/obama-lawyer-admits-birth-certificate-is-a-forgery/)

Obama defense attorney Alexandra M. Hill


A lawyer representing U.S. President Barack Obama has admitted the long-form birth certificate presented by the White House last year (http://www.therightperspective.org/2011/04/27/obama-releases-the-birth-certificate/) is a forgery – but that does not disqualify him from appearing on the ballot this November.

Defense attorney Alexandra M. Hill made the comments during a recent New Jersey ballot challenge hearing, brought about by Tea Party members who question his eligibility to appear on the state’s presidential primary ballot. Attorney for the plaintiffs, Mario Apuzzo, argued (http://www.teapartytribune.com/2012/04/11/nj-ballot-access-challenge-hearing-update/) that President Obama has furnished proof of his “natural born” citizenship status to the state of New Jersey.

Apuzzo went on to say that Obama’s father was not an American citizen, meaning President Obama is not a “natural born” citizen and ineligible for the office he holds.

I forgot about that. Didn't they shoot the homeowner's dog while simultaneously wasting thousands of tax payer money? We should probably have a thread dedicated just for the abuses of Arpaio.

Edit: Knew I was forgetting something.

hxxp://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/steven_seagal_joe_arpaio_deputies_sued_for_reality .php

The Sheriff’s Office, which used “a tank, a bomb robot and 40 deputies,” according to the Arizona Republic, accidentally killed over 100 of Llovera’s roosters and his 11-month old dog during the course of the raid.
....
Llovera’s suit claims that the raid was conducted for the purposes of the show, and is part of a pattern of Arpaio “arresting and prosecuting individuals without probable cause solely for the selfish and improper purposes of achieving personal and political gain through publicity,” the Republic reports.

No evidence that the guy ever was fighting chickens. As far as I know,, no conviction. He was arrested once (prior) for attending a fight.
The guy does have a law suit for destruction of property.

That's why, while I consider it stupid, I support the Federal governments ability to sue a State, in the same fashion and with much less stupidity, I support an individuals right to sue any level of government it wishes.

The problem, and reason I call one act stupid, is because it serves only a political purpose ...

Arpaio's DA Disbarred: He and Joe were going after political opponents with fake charges (like the woman I described earlier):
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/04/10/1082195/-Sheriff-Joe-Arpaio-s-Right-Hand-DA-Disbarred-for-Abusing-Powers-to-Persecute-Political-Opponents


A three-member panel of the State Bar of Arizona ruled that ex-Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas abused his powers as a prosecutor to target his political enemies. Because of that, they ruled he would be disbarred.
One of Thomas’ top aides, Lisa Aubuchon, was also disbarred for her role in the misconduct. A second aide, Rachel Alexander, had her law license suspended for six months. [...]



Investigators with the State Bar of Arizona said somewhere along the way he became obsessed with his political enemies. He turned disagreements over policy into a full-fledged attempt to see his opponents jailed and disgraced.

With Arpaio’s help, investigators said, Thomas used the powers of his office to target his opponents with criminal investigations. He had some arrested and some charged with crimes. The evidence he and Arpaio used in the process was often questionable. The charges rarely stuck.


Thomas first came to prominence in Arizona in 2002, winning the Republican nomination for attorney general. He lost the general election to Terry Goddard, a Democrat, but cemented his role as a conservative up and comer.
Two years later, he won the race for Maricopa County attorney, putting him in charge of felony prosecutions and other legal matters of a community of more than 3.5 million people. It set him on equal footing with Arpaio and a team was born. [...]

Just weeks after both [Arpaio and Thoma] were reelected in 2008, the two men began using their offices to target many of the same officials they had battled with in the years prior.

During the next year or so, Thomas and Arpaio announced criminal investigations against at least 14 officials, including all five members of the Board of Supervisors, four judges, the county’s top two appointed officials, a high-ranking attorney for the county and two private lawyers. [...]

Thomas and Arpaio filed a major lawsuit against the group, accusing them of corruption and racketeering. Thomas also charged three of them with crimes, warning charges may be coming for the rest. “No one is above the law,” he said at the time.

Soon, however, the cases began to crumble. In some instances, the evidence that was promised by Thomas and Arpaio never materialized. In other instances, independent judges ruled that Thomas’ office filed charges on allegations that were well past the statute of limitations.

Ethics investigators have since said Thomas and Aubuchon knew those charges were bogus but filed them anyway to ruin the reputations of the accused. The investigators described this as perjury. Thomas insisted that the cases were good and the people he was targeting were corrupt. But in early 2010, he hit the eject button.

They play into the hands of others, and do the bidding of evil people who use division to advantage ... Witness the 2 Party System ;)
It is more about the laws he violates rather than the ones he enforces. I don't think I can make it any clearer. Do you think my average disdain for law enforcement is anywhere near the level I have for this man? It's not. This man wipes his ass with the Fourth Amendment. He is no friend of liberty; he is a cancer. As I am sure you are aware, the only reason he keeps getting elected is Sun City West, Grande etc. Snowbirds who would welcome a standing army to "protect and serve" their community.

Arpaio's DA Disbarred: He and Joe were going after political opponents with fake charges (like the woman I described earlier):

+rep

EDIT: During the next year or so, Thomas and Arpaio announced criminal investigations against at least 14 officials, including all five members of the Board of Supervisors, four judges, the county’s top two appointed officials, a high-ranking attorney for the county and two private lawyers.

If I recall correctly most were child pornography charges.

He is a man with no principle or conscience, a droid that cannot override an immoral law if his life depended upon it. That is what I have a problem with, yea the law is bad but if the politicians know they have an enforcer who wouldnt raise a stink when told to enfore anti liberty laws, they will end up passing such lawsSo you're a personal friend of this man ?

I really don't know why I respond since you are obviously a troll. The charges were determined to be baseless and unfounded. He harrassed those who opposed. And I'm sure you would welcome a standing army. This is why I'm perplexed as to why you are on a Liberty forum. Probably to thwart actual discussion and cause disruption, YES?

You seem reasonable ... Does guilty because of title make sense ?

No.Didn't think so.

Is it a problem to call out those who hold this belief ?

I am in no authority to dictate what you do on the internet in your time. That being said I have never posted that all cops are guilty. Sheriff Joe, however, is. My suspicions and distrust of the police are not unwarranted nor unfounded.

Arpaio, it seems to me, is a right-wing version of Jesse Jackson.

A blow-hard demagogue who keeps tripping over himself trying to fight for camera time.

I would never vote for Jesse Jackson.

I would never vote for "Sheriff Joe" either.

Both represent the worst in US politics.

What do you think he has the money for in the first place..?
It is his role as shit stirrer.

And he is connected to a whole line of shit stirrers.
Witness the old battle of Communism v Fascism played out again and both funded by the same folks.

Where have I seen this before?

Stop feeding him then. We wouldn't have a troll problem if they didn't have anything to feed on. Remove their ability to subsist here and they will be forced to go elsewhere.
