asshole who would never have lasted ten minutes without the media enabling him. Every expo I've ever seen on Arpaio always seems to paint him in a glowing light and almost fawns over his "innovative" crime fighting approach. The only problem is there's nothing innovative about anything he does. Chain gangs, prison camps, striped uniforms, are all old school. We got rid of them because they were dehumanizing and ultimately did nothing to prevent crime.

Our so-called liberal media almost NEVER mentions the millions of dollars the Maricopa County Sheriff's office has paid out in lawsuits, never mentions the fact that while Phoenix is not one of American's largest cities, it has one of the largest correctional budgets because Arpaio locks up so many people on trivial things, and never mentions that while Arpaio says that his "reforms" prevent recidivism, the MCSO has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country.

Joe Arpaio-a fraud and a terrorist. And a perfect example of everything that is wrong with our media today.
