Sheriff Joe Arpaio Says He Faces Discrimination

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio turns 81 next week, and he's taking the time to
recognize a victim of discrimination -- himself.

Never mind the recent federal court ruling that said the Phoenix-area sheriff was unfairly
targeting Latinos in his notorious "crime suppression" sweeps.

Arpaio says he'll increasingly focus on age discrimination as he continues his fifth term as sheriff,
and as he plans for a sixth.

He counts himself among the people looked down upon because of their age.
Watch Arizona's Fox 10 ask the tough questions here.

[alsame]

[Wait Wut]

4. Good grief he's an ass.

A narcissistic, moronic, bigoted, racist ass.

Fuck you, Joe.

[annabanana]

31. you must be bigoted against

narcissistic, moronic, bigoted, racist asses. . .

shame on you

[demwing]

5. Time I am...

Destroyer of worlds..

Joe the Dumber hasn't much time left on the planet. He'll soon be forgotten fondly

[antigone382]

21. I don't know that he should be forgotten.

I think if he were mentioned in the same sentence as Bull Connor, etc. in the history books, that might be OK.

[MoreGOPoop]

6. Project much, Arpie?

Mean people suck.

[TexasTowelie]

7. There are plenty of reasons to look down Upon Joe besides his age.

Too bad he isn't intelligent enough to realize that.

[azbillyboy]

8. On Behalf Of....

...The few number of sane people living in The Land That Time Forgot aka The Mississippi of the Desert aka Aridzona, I would like to apologize to the Nation for the bumper crop of racists, morons. homophobes, misogynists, etc that burst forth from this state like pus from an infected sore.

I moved here 35 years ago for the appreciation of the unique land that makes Arizona. Unfortunately it is since been overrun with troglodytes and much of the native uniqueness has since been destroyed.

If Sheriff Joke runs, I bet he will win again. There is no organized Democratic Party in this state. I am still sputtering and stammering at the fact that Jan "Have Did" Brewer won and is proceeding to destroy Arizona in the Scott Walker mode.

20. Thanks for the brief moment of sanity from the Grand Canyon State...

We will now return to our regularly scheduled program...

[annabanana]

32. Welcome to DU billyboy!

There are some true-blue spots in that redder than red desert out there... and we love them.

[LittleGirl]

36. LOL

I moved here (again) 6 months, no 7, sorry...the heat got my brain today...you're so right. I was around the first time he got elected (so long ago I can't remember who I voted for)...and feel your pain.

Love the state...the people sometimes, not so much.
Thanks for the chuckle. I had to read your post outloud to my husband so he could laugh too.
Welcome to DU.

carry on.

[Bjorn Against]

9. Well to be fair neanderthals do get a bad rap.

[Comrade Grumpy]

10. That's rich.

We don't look down at you because of your age, Sheriff Joe, but because you're an authoritarian, racist pig. Just do the world a favor and die already.

[Sunlei]

12. Father Time- big revenge.

don't let the door to hell hit you on the way down.

[marble falls]

13. He trivializes what it means to be discriminated against. Or is he calling for more fools like ....

himself to be called out?

[avebury]

14. He is so delusional. Age has nothing to do with

why he is viewed as a vile, despicable human being. He achieved that all on his own.

[Zoeisright]

15. What is it with this stupid racists?

They think that calling them on their hatred and bigotry is intolerance. They think that telling them they are racists is racist. Their ignorance is astounding. The lima bean on my kitchen counter has more brain cells that that pig Arpaio.

And BTW, that jackass living to age 81 is proof that only the good die young.

[curlyred]

16. only the good die young

[Initech]

17. Pot calling kettle black?

[muntrv]

18. Cry me a river!

[Downtown Hound]

19. Gee, for "America's toughest Sheriff" he sure does whine a lot. n/t

[frylock]

22. i look down upon him because he's a piece of shit..

age has nothing to do with it.

[kristopher]

23. I sure hope so

It is completely rational and legal to discriminate against asshats.

[MillennialDem]

24. He reminds me of a particular rapist (David Parker Ray) who said he "Felt like he was raped"

during his trial.

Joe feels discriminated against? I'm sure his victims (and many of the people he has arrested as his victims) feel the same way.

[carla]

25. Retirement

is for bigots too.

[47of74]

26. Up yours, Joe Arpaio

[SoapBox]

27. Just this...fuck OFF Sheriff Craphole.

Just fucking shut up and go away...POS.

[Archae]

28. The worst part is even after Arpaio dies, his corruption lives on.

All the vicious corrupt cronies he has in that sheriff's department.

[yellowcanine]

29. I look down on Arpaio because of he is a racist pig, not because he is an old racist pig.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

30. The most dangerous place in Maricopa County

Is between Sherriff Joke and a t.v. camera.

[ctsnowman]

34. lol NT

[ctsnowman]

33. K & R

Good grief.

[UTUSN]

[Arkana]

40. Is it wrong to hope someone dies of a stroke while shitting?

Because that's totally what I'm thinking right now.

[Lil Missy]

41. jackass n/t

[siligut]

42. He is just stumping for the retiree vote

Empathy and all that. Plus, no doubt there are younger assholes vying for his job.

[dmr]

43. Arpaio is an old ass.

Love your emoticon, Skinner should add it to the smiles. We'd need an old lady one too.
