joe arpaio Arpaio Obama Probe Finds 'national security threat'

[nominak]

The fact that this birth certificate crap won't go away highlights 3 things. How deluded a large segment of the right wing is, how desperate some people are to hate Obama, and how much racism is still part of right wing thinking.

Well. It is Joe Arpaio. Well known racist.

isn't he like the head of Maricopa prison? I think I watched a Lockup episode on Maricopa, and they showed a protest against him...

[Azies]

so obama's parents took advantage of a revision done in 1982, when obama was born in 1961

HOLY CRAP OBAMA IS A TIME TRAVELER

*Edit - guess people will look for anything and ignore obvious things, lol

Who's Joe Arpaio?

He does seem a bit of a pillock.

Joe is a fine upstanding USA citizen ;)

please grow up. Not everybody who asks a question is a racist.... maybe he's just ignorant? So sick of the of the word racist. It's way overused and it's lost it's meaning.

[TrevorLahey]

Before the industrial revolution it was common for communities to band together and help each other out. Now, capitalism seems to be turning people into selfish jackasses. You so much as talk about helping out a poor person in America these days and you get called a socialist and get accused of being evil and anti-american.

This is not true at all...

When a politician talks about using other peoples money to help the poor they are a called socialist (most of the time it's to earn votes). I haven't heard anybody call Bill Gates or numerous Pro Althletes that donate time and $$$ a socialist.

No. Joe Arpio is a racist. No 2 ways about it.

[TrevorLahey]

You know this guy personally?

[nominak]

You know this guy personally?

So you can only know a person is racist if you know them personally?

There isn't anything he could have done to prove this already?

[Anibal P]

What a despicable thing to say.

Don't you just love how loving and not hateful Libs are when they think the opposition isn't around, their true colors show

What people forget is that Washington has been "investigating" Arpaio for years now trying desperately to find anything to pin on him, and haven't, this started in retribution to the, and interestingly found a real issue in the way HI deals with Birth Certificates, that is a serious issue that of course most Libs will ignore because it's not a convenient issue to deal with at the moment, in nowhere other than explaining what prompted the investigation does this become a "birther" issue, it's done and over, even if Obama's birth certificate turns out to be fake, nothing will come of it, other than the Democrats needing to find a candidate at the last second, but like said in the article it is a national security issue that needs fixed yesterday

Well if he's a member of the KKK, then chances are he's a racist... but I haven't seen that report come out. If he's done something other than investing Obama, let me know.

I never said it was because he was investigating Obama.

and on your KKK reference

He still has a job so apparently the justice department hasn't found that he did anything wrong...

KKK reference: are you kidding me? That's your proof?

Where do you crazy people come from. :wacko:

If it was fake, he wouldn't be President, that's a pretty clear requirement. It's only whack-jobs like you that think this doesn't get checked out before the elections.

[HSoft]

....And sorry, whether you like it or not accusing someone of not being a US citizen is a form of racism.

What planet are you on?

If I accused Theyarecomingforyou of being British (not a US Citizen) that would make me racist?

I think your bigotry is shining through with that comment.

Regardless of the technicalities of Obama's birth certificate - though the doubt is entirely manufactured - is there really any compelling reason not to allow somebody born outside of the US to run for President? It's not like people are going to vote in a Chinese national as President. And it's not as if it's to protect the integrity of the system, as there simply isn't any when Presidential candidates are funded by an elite minority of billionaires and influential corporations.

The birther movement - like the smear campaign alleging that he's Muslim - is inherently racist and it's inconceivable that the same sort of attacks would have been used had he been white. The US is still an incredibly racist country.

We do have a Constitutuion that staes it cleary. The Constitution is the law. That is my issue with anyone who runs for POTUS. Unless that part of the document is ratified then it stands.

And a good reason for the existence of that law is that the President needs to have the interest of Americans, and no one else, in mind. Allowing someone who has ties to another nation to be President opens the office up to foreign influence - it has nothing to do with race, it's just a matter of nationality and political interest, and it seems to be a pretty smart clause to me. As Judge St. George Tucker put it, "The admission of foreigners into our councils, consequently, cannot be too much guarded against."

No, but if you accused a black person of being African and asking for their papers. Then yes.

Or if you question the validity of the birth certificate of your now black president. Yes. That would make you a racist.
