When progressives cant beat Republicans square and fair at the ballot box they resort to dishonest Alinskyite tactics such as character assassination and abusing the left-wing dominated legal system. Theyve been after Americas popular Sheriff Joe Arpaio for years and are finally circling around him like sharks. A local progressive writer for The Arizona Republic gleefully titled his column about the sheriffs downfall earlier this month Would Sheriff Arpaio Look Pretty in Pink (Underwear)?"
Long known for his no-frills jails (pink underwear so gang members wouldnt steal them) chain gangs and inexpensive meals (green bologna and water) Arpaio finally really infuriated the left when he started cracking down on illegal immigration in 2005. Arizonas illegal immigration levels had reached epidemic levels straining tax dollars. Working with conservative Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas the pair made a significant dent in the states illegal immigration. They lobbied to get four ballot initiatives against illegal immigration made into law in 2006. When left-leaning judges refused to enforce the new laws the two fought back.
A flurry of investigations and legal actions began shortly afterwards. This is where the tide started turning against Arpaio because the left controls much of the judiciary. It started with chipping away at the low-hanging fruit around Arpaio lower-level employees who had no money power or connections to defend themselves. The judges made findings against Arpaio and the complicit state bar disbarred Thomas and another prosecutor (disclaimer: I was also targeted by the state bar as a low-level attorney for Arpaio at the time).
