Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., responded to George Lopez's profanity-filled tirade against him by telling the comedian to come meet with him.

"Get some guts, come down here and meet me face to face. Let's see how you act then," Arpaio, known as "America's Toughest Sheriff," told ABC affiliate KNXV.

Lopez has no comment regarding Arpaio's invitation, according to his publicist.

Lopez's attack on Arapio was part of the comedian's "It's not me, it's you" standup comedy show on HBO Saturday night. The rant came after Lopez joked that Mitt Romney is Latino but won't admit it. Lopez's comments regarding Arpaio last for about two minutes and included profanities in English and Spanish to a cheering crowd. ..............(more)

He launches "investigations" into his political enemies with much fanfare and they go nowhere.
If he was just Joseph A-hole Arpaio, landscaper, he would not have the balls to invite people to his hometown...his courage is a tin star and a bullet-proof vest.

at least he didn't beat around the bush about his racism. He actually admitted that he takes pride in being compared to a klan member. I'd love to see how George reacts to his invitation to meet up with him.
