Randy Pullen, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, has announced via Twitter that he will not seek reelection at the next state party meeting on January 22. This follows the news that Pullen had not been elected a state committeeman from Legislative District 11. Normally, someone would have to be a state…
Galindo asks Joe why he always goes after the employees, instead of the employersI’ll concede that radio host Carlos Galindo is a controversial figure. The Latino activist community shuns him. And he’s been blasted for being anti-Semitic, due to a blog posting he made in the past, where he reportedly…
Gilman attacks the Nazis, the Phoenix PD, and J.T. Ready in this video of the warfare on November 13Phoenix’s Michael Moore, videographer Dennis Gilman, braved rocks and industrial-strength pepper spray to bring us his latest video depicting yet another day in state Senate President-elect Russell Pearce’s Arizona.At what point do…
Schultz rips Pearce for his crazy talk on Brahm Resnik’s Sunday Square-OffJust another reminder of what the local Republinuts — led by neo-Nazi-huggin’ state Senate President-elect Russell Pearce — have in mind for you one million-plus folks down on your luck, or those about to be in this economy: No…
Phoenix-area anarchists earned the right to wear their Zapatista-like bandannas Saturday in a full-on street battle at 8th Avenue and Jefferson, with anarchists and assorted counter-demonstrators on one side, and the Phoenix Police Department and a contingent of neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement members on the other.Although I cannot condone the…
When I first began reporting on immigration and Sand Land politics several years ago, I was under the mistaken impression — because I’d never lived in an area so heavily influenced by the LDS before — that most Mormons were like neo-Nazi-hugging state Senator Russell Pearce. Very quickly, I learned…
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn’t up for re-election for two, long years, but that isn’t stopping him from trying to drum up cash to pay his legal bills for his campaign right now — and he’s turning to out-of-state donors to do it.This morning, we received a letter sent…
I agree with Espresso Pundit’s Greg Patterson about as often as I agree with state Senate President-elect Russell Pearce, which is, almost never. But he exposed an ugly little problem with the Arizona Democrats recently that I’ve seen get zero play on liberal blogs, so I think it’s worth mentioning here,…
Don’t laugh, but neo-Nazi-huggin’ state Senate President-elect Russell Pearce is denouncing the neo-Nazis.Talk about man bites dog.Seems Pearce told KPHO that the National Socialist Movement members coming to Phoenix for an anti-illegal immigrant bash at the Sandra Day O’Connor U.S. Courthouse this Saturday should take a hike.”These hate-based groups are…
The United Nations has posted the draft report on a review of the United States’ human rights record, which recently took place in Geneva, Switzerland. Both SB 1070 and the U.S. Border Patrol’s Operation Streamline are slammed in the draft, produced by a working group of the United Nations Human Rights’…
A lot of folks have been e-mailing me of late to wonder if I knew that the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement will be back in town on Saturday, November 13, to reprise their performance of last year at this time, when they got owned by local anarchists who came out…
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard wants your take on why he fumbled so badly against Governor Jan Brewer in the recent gubernatorial race. Well, actually, according to a note on his FaceBook site Terry Goddard for Governor, Terry’s “taking a break” from FB-ing. So it’s really Goddard’s volunteers who are…
What are we to make of neo-Nazi-huggin’ state Senator Russell Pearce’s declaration that under his rule as majority leader, Arizona’s upper house will be “the Tea Party Senate”?Look no further than the August report on “Tea Party Nationalism,” produced by the anti-racist Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights,…
I’ve written on numerous occasions about state Senator Russell Pearce’s ongoing battle with the truth, whether it’s denying his past friendship with neo-Nazi J.T. Ready, or spewing false stats about illegal immigrants. But misleading his fellow Senate Republicans? That’s the implication given by the report above from Channel 12’s Brahm Resnik for his “Sunday…
Pearce goes ballistic when he’s confronted by some of those he’s victimized Check out this priceless video, a link to which was sent to me by Carmen Cornejo, executive director of CADENA, an Arizona group of professors and professionals who lobby for the DREAM Act. That’s the proposed legislation that…
I’m anticipating a silly press release from Governor Jan “We Have Did” Brewer’s camp tomorrow condemning the U.S. State Department, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the United Nations, as well as the New World Order and the Bilderbergers, if her scribes can work those last two into the text.See,…
A couple of weeks back, I blogged on the obscenity of Arizona’s business elite feting “Bush’s brain” and “war criminal” Karl Rove on November 9 at the Sheraton as part of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce’s “Phoenix Forum” speaker series.Rove was part of the Bush administration scheme to sell the American public…
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s panties are in a bunch over a t-shirt that’s being distributed by Arizona’s “Weed Party.” The t-shirt is pro-prop-203, shows a picture of a pot leaf, and pictures Arpaio suckin’ on a weed pipe.We have one in our office — it’s very hip.The sheriff took…
If you thought Senate Bill 1070 was bad, there’s far worse on the way. That’s because Senate Republicans have picked a new president: 1070 “author,” state Senator Russell Pearce, Arizona’s Pope of Prejudice. Pearce figures Governor Jan Brewer “owes” him for saving her career, bullying 1070 through the legislature, giving her…
***UPDATE 11/3/10 6:12 AM: The Associated Press has called the state AG race for Horne*** Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard did little to lift the morgue-like atmosphere at the Wyndham Hotel in Downtown Phoenix Tuesday night. By the time Goddard ascended the stage shortly before 10 p.m., Governor Jan Brewer…
Sherwood gets the Dennis Gilman treatment in this YouTube video Andrew Sherwood may not slay the anti-immigrant goliath, neo-Nazi-huggin’ state Senator Russell Pearce, but he’s got the right idea on how to take on the beast. And that is, talk about everything Pearce’s not doing, and all the stuff he’s…
Brewer declares her desire to live in America, 4:24 in. (Psst, so do “illegals,” Jan) When you’re Governor Jan “We have did” Brewer, how do you top yourself on the gaffe-meter following that September 1 brain freeze during the Channel 8 debate? The reality is, with a flub like that, there’s…
