Some of the coverage from National Review and The Washington Times really has to be read to be believed. A guy whose career highlights include chaining a pregnant woman to a bed and filing trumped-up charges against a judge is suddenly the victim of “persecution.”

So you are saying that because of what he has done in the past that he can’t be persecuted? What kind of logic is that?Report
I think what Will is saying is that your past deeds, as well as your current level of power, contribute to the legitimacy of the claims of persecution.
Of course, Arpaio deserves all the shit people can shovel on him, so I couldn’t care less if it amounts to persecution or not. The dude is bad news for civil liberties.Report
Yes, God forbid Arpaio should be tough on criminals. We really don’t want that.Report
“Waiter! I ordered an omelet!”Report
Scott, are judges, their aides and their personal attorneys criminals?Report
They can be. Just because you are a judge doesn’t mean you are honest.Report
How about Sheriffs?Report
Sheriffs can be criminals as well.Report
Quit persecuting Arpaio, Scott.Report
Can’t you do any better? I don’t see the need for the DOJ to get involved. I’m sure that DOJ’s involvement is not political at all. I’m sure they will manufacture something if they can’t find anything.Report
*I’m sure they will manufacture something if they can’t find anything.*
Just like Sheriff Joe.Report
