Al Sharpton PWNED by Joe Arpaio

[ulmont]

I thought it was PWNAGE in that you usually don't see Sharpton get told off because of the obvious reaction you'll get from his organization (i.e. "such and such is racist and their product/cause/etc. will be boycotted").

Pretty tough to boycott an LEO...

The guy is in law enforcement - he's supposed to be above the political fray.

This guy is elected, hence the letter.

I'm aware that he is elected, but that doesn't change the basic nature of the job.

Fixed that for you.

Oh man, you really don't know much about this guy, do you?

He is all politics - as he must be, since he sure as hell isn't surviving on his laudible law enforcment record.

He is pretty much the poster child for repulsive populist hate mongering.

What's he done that's attracted your ire?

Go read his wiki article. it gives a general overview of his "qualities".

What really bugs me about the guy is that he keeps getting re-elected by wide margins. It damages my faith in humanity.

Ah, ok, now I know what's going on, who the characters are. At first I didn't recognize who the sheriff was.

As far as I know, he's know for putting felons in tents when the prisons are out of space, or just to do so. Enforces immigration laws, to the nth degree. As for getting into problems, as Berkut says, I think there's been a enough of that too by the sheriff.

[Stonewall]

Its certainly going to be a circus.  Both Sharpton and Arpaio are clowns.

[Slargos]

Any western duly elected official who gets flak from Amnesty HAS to be a great guy, reading up on his Wiki page only confirms my expectations. 

[Sheilbh]

Jesus, this guy's ridiculous.  He's cost the county $43 million in court settlements.

All the more reason to get rid of liberal trial lawyers.

I really didn't think the letter was pwnage.  It actually seemed fairly petty, and quite obviously intended for media consumption.  The guy is in law enforcement - he's supposed to be above the political fray.

You've just described Arpaio to a T.
