Hi everyone. Long-long-time lurker and procrastinator here. I would like to dip my toe into this birfer dog pile if I may.
Although Arpaio never showed up in Georgia, it appears he has thrown everyone some red meat in advance of his Cold Posse findings.
AP suspiciously released another 5pm Friday deadline story regarding the arrest of a Knoxville man who allegedly threatened Sheriff Arpaio.
http://tucsoncitizen.com/arizona-news/2 ... on-arpaio/The timing of the arrest, press release, and eligibility "findings", IMO, can't be coincidental. AP ran this story as if it were his press agent:
"
According to local sheriff’s officials, Cox’s postings indicate he is an avid supporter of President Barack Obama and that the threat may have been sparked by Arpaio’s ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of Obama’s birth certificate.
“I will not be intimidated against pursuing this investigation into Obama’s eligibility to serve as the President of the United States,” Arpaio said in a Friday news release."
Granted this is a very serious situation, but Arpaio only wants revenge now the Justice Dept cited him for abuses. IMO, he's carefully crafting himself a Willie Horton voodoo doll to hang around the president's neck hoping this will impact voters in the coming months.
What I would like to know why is AP suddenly granted exclusive tidbits and why are they posting these stories at the end of the business week?? WEll it's obvious they want these stories to filter into the blogsphere for the weekend. WP posted the article, again unedited, last night.
AP is up to its editors' asses in mischievous and unethical behavior. Was this the same reporter who wrote the "Judge Orders Obama to Court" story?
I don't condone violence. If this man did this, then he should be prosecuted. But methinks Arpaio concocted at least 50% of the story much like Brewer did. I'm sure he receives numerous death threats monthly. [b]This one he wants to spotlight.
He knows he has nothing coming from his investigation in the president's eligibility so he found something better. He can now say with a clear conscience he found nothing from his investigation. Now he can feed Cox's alleged threat to old white people's and birthers' hysterical perception of the president as a dangerous subversive like his distant association with Alinsky and Ayers.
