The KKK-wannabes over at ex-KIA dealer Rusty Childress’ United for a Sovereign America have really outdone themselves this time. Not only have they announced their intention to be at Sal Reza’s children’s march Friday in order to intimidate and likely harass Hispanic children. They have also posted a racist image…
With KFYI 550 AM being the home of conservatard puddin’ head and “birfer” (yeah, I’m spellin’ it right) J.D. Hayworth, whodathunk it that KFYI would also prove to be the voice of reason in the birther debate? At least that was the deal when Phoenix legal beagle Barry Markson was sitting in…
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy If you require any further proof that the so-called birthers, the conservanut conspiracy tards who believe President Barack Obama is an illegal alien, are complete and utter wackos, look no further than California attorney Orly Taitz, her recent implosion…
The July 30 episode of Horizonte featuring George Gascon If you caught the recent story about ex-Mesa Police Chief George Gascon inviting Sheriff Joe Arpaio to an Italian dinner in San Fran now that Gascon’s the top dog there, you might’ve been tempted to think Gascon had gone soft on…
Ever read those tales of the Children’s Crusade when you were in junior high? You know, where legions of kiddies during the Middle Ages supposedly marched toward the Holy Land with the idea that they would somehow convert Muslims to Christianity, but ended up being sold into slavery? Well, everything…
Supporters of Harold Fish, the man I wrote about in this week’s lead Bird item “Right to Kill,” have been calling me with their outrage. Most are gun nuts incensed at my opinion of Fish and firearms wackos like themselves. So far, they’ve been spewing some venom on my phone…
In response to my request for a comment from the Phoenix Police Department concerning Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Mark Spencer’s challenge to the current Operations Order 1.4.3, PPD spokesman James Holmes got back to me yesterday. His comment follows below. But first a little background. As I discussed in this…
The majority of Arizona voters are completely delusional, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.The July 21 poll asked 500 likely voters if “the policies and activities of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio helped or hurt Arizona’s image.” A whopping 57 percent say they’ve helped. Only 27 percent say they’ve…
There are a couple of reasons why I’m hoping KFYI lip-flapper and former Congressman J.D. Hayworth makes a run for governor or senator or somethin’ in 2010. The first is that I have a series of “subliminal” columns that I plan to run soon after he announces. The first one starts…
Why is Holocaust denier, anti-Semite and disgraced historian David Irving so afraid of scrutiny? If you caught my recent blog on Irving’s appearance at Jerry’s Restaurant in Phoenix, an appearance protested by a group of local anarchists, you’ll know that Irving refused me entrance to the neo-Nazi coffee klatch, even after I offered to pay the $20 admission.Irving…
by David Shankbone Bill bowed down to Nappy on Real Time tonight… Ya think Bill was worried about Janet putting him on the no-fly list? I’ve long been a fan of Bill Maher, and, to be honest, I still am. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed with Maher’s…
courtesy of Dennis Gilman Why does this man still have federal power? Ask Janet Napolitano…Is ICE finally yanking on Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s leash? And is it too gentle of a tug to stop the sweeps? Check out the press release below sent out by Arpaio announcing a 4 p.m. press conference…
You don’t have to be a Harvard prof to note the smiling hypocrisy of President Barack Obama’s comments last night on racial profiling. Just hours after Obama defended his Cambridge pal Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in a presidential press conference, and spanked the Cambridge cops for acting “stupidly” in arresting the…
The National Day Laborer Organizing Network has announced a demonstration outside the studios where Bill Maher will be interviewing Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano for Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. I blogged about Napolitano’s appearance yesterday, and hoped that Maher would question Napolitano about creating a national immigration…
Just learned that scathing political humorist Bill Maher will have Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher, which airs this Friday, July 24 at 10 p.m. The confirmation of this is up on HBO’s page for Maher. And Kate Baker, my contact at HBO, tells…
Mesa Police Chief George Gascon’s adios as he packs it in for the City by the Bay is showing up local Mesa politicians for the hayseeds that they are. As reported in the East Valley Tribune by Sonu Munshi, Gascon admitted to her that unnamed Mesa officials wanted to sack him…
What could it be that draws neo-Nazis to western Maricopa County town of Tonopah? Desert vistas pregnant with ennui? The occasional corpse dumped next to the Interstate? Exhaust from the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant? Whatever it is, Tonopah will once more be the place for the booted and braced come…
Fox 10 journo Sarah Acevedo filed a report Sunday night on the more than dozen cars hit with juvenile, neo-Nazi graffiti in Fountain Hills over the weekend. The crude swastikas, male genitalia and w.p.’s for “white power,” reminded me of the ransacked aftermath in Orlando Diaz’s house in north Phoenix, which I wrote about…
Aarti Shahani talks 287(g) on GRITtv This video from Laura Flanders’ GRITtv is a must-watch for anyone concerned about Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano’s recent expansion of ICE’s 287(g) program — the program, which in Flanders’ words, “turns traffic cops into deportation agents.” The 10 minute clip features Aarti Shahani, co-author of the…
Has DHS given the pro-immigration crowd the ol’ pitch and switch? Have lefties been snowed by ICE? It was with great fanfare last week that Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security announced brand, spanking new rules governing the agreements that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has with local law enforcement agencies, such as…
If you’ve read about the latest kerfuffle involving soon-to-be former Mesa Police Chief George Gascon and Sheriff Joe Arpaio — a kerfuffle egged on by the Arizona Republic — then you know it involves a statement made by Arpaio in earshot of William Finnegan, the journo who just profiled Arpaio for The…
Apparently, not even a federal judge and her family are free from the intimidation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his law dogs. I’ve now learned that Judge Mary Murguia’s July 15 order recusing herself in the big Melendres v. Arpaio racial-profiling lawsuit came days after Arpaio’s lawyers in the case subpoenaed Murguia’s sister Janet for…
