Did you know that one of the reasons for the federal lawsuit against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio was Obama political campaign strategy? Don't take my word for it. This assertion has been made by the Huffington Post editorial director Howard Fineman in his story excusing negative Obama campaign strategy by claiming they are merely taking pages from the GOP playbook:
Wedge Issues. The phrase is often misused. It means forcing the other party to defend an idea, policy or person in such a way that it divides the other party's base. The classic example, used for years if not decades by Reagan, was welfare, which split white and black working-class Democrats. Obama is trying to do the same thing to the GOP on immigration. His administration just filed suit against Arizona's controversial and, to many, egregiously anti-immigrant Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The goal is not just to bring him in line, but to make Republicans defend him.

I suppose when you have nothing else
What’s to defend?
Arpiao is a fine man, loyal American, and quite frankly doing the right thing.
What else can you expect from Axelrod (born to commie parents) the brains behind Obama. Axelrod, the master of the unsealed divorce records. He’ll get his comeuppance some day, he is too clever by half.
That's not likely to change because of 0bama's trumped up law-suit. Especially since illegals compete for some of the same jobs in construction and they will work for less $.
Also, poll-workers ask for valid picture ID's when you vote in AZ, so rats are going to have trouble cheating.
Clueless!!!
I kept seeing a post on yahoo yesterday, about how Sheriff Joe still has a 70% approval in Maricopa County. I don’t have the source, but I believe it.
Scribd of the DOJ/La Raza complaint here.
I can't believe they fawn (nice pun, yes?) over this moron as if he's this brilliant Hahvahd scholar.
I would expect nothing less from the most corrupt POTUS ever.

It well may be a strategy to pull hispanic votes, but it’s going to backfire big time, because he’ll lose a lot of young white people who love Joe Arpaio.
That has always amazed me too. I have had the feeling Obama is pretty much an idiot since I first heard him speak.

Now, can the rat/media complex come up with enough baloney each week until the election to divert the nation's attention from the disaster that is Baby-Doc?
People like Arpario because he is a man. The real men have dissapeared as leaders of our country and states. Men that aren’t afraid to man up and enforce the laws.

It’s actually been around for awhile:
