Arizona and their sandbilly wannabe kluckers are always good for a laugh, and Stephen Lemmons of Phoenix New Times is always there to point it out for us. Russell Pearce, Bigot, Claims President Will Need “Papers” to Visit Arizona In D.C. to attend the oral arguments on Arizona’s employer sanctions law before the U.S. Supreme Court, he stopped by to visit his far-right wingnut pals at Judicial Watch, the think tank that regularly sues folks who just happen to oppose Judicial Watch’s nativist agenda.
Arizona Numbnuts
Ya’ll remember Pinal County Deputy Louie Puroll? He’s the “hero” deputy sheriff in Arizona who allegedly was wounded in a gun battle with “cartel members? When he finally decided to cooperate with investigators, Puroll the told investigators he was following a group of smugglers carrying bales of marijuana when he was ambushed by men firing AK-47 rifles about 50 miles south of Phoenix on April 30. In what Puroll described as a running gunbattle, he was grazed by a bullet in the back. Paul Rubin writing for Phoenix New Times, questioned Puroll’s story and wounds, as did those of us who write for Immigration Clearinhouse. In the article “Pinalcchio”, Rubins presents evidence from noted forensic scientists that disputes Puroll’s story MORE
Chris Simcox, went from a loony toons nobody on the Arizona border to the leader of thousands of armed civilian vigilantes as part of the Minuteman movement, confidant of Minuteman child killer Shawna Forde, a U.S. senatorial candidate, and advisor to candidate J.D. Hayworth, all in five years. Now a fugitive from the law he once claimed to uphold, bounty hunters are looking for him in order to serve an order of protection for his estranged wife as part of a messy divorce case in which he is accused in court records of threatening to kill her, their three children and any police officers who try to protect them. Documents filed by Fugitive Recovery Services of Arizona, a state-licensed company MORE
ALIPAC’s William Gheen, liar, racist and potty mouth
It’s been an interesting week listening to ALIPAC’s Willy Gheen coming unwound after the Honorable Senator John McCain, called into question ALIPAC’s endorsement of opponent J.D. Heyworth, the corrupt former Congressman and radio talk show host. The latest from Willy; Poll: Hayworth Close To Defeating John McCain Willy Gheen claims one of his “certified” polls (certified, being any poll that supports his racist agenda, all others are bogus)
The anti-immigrant movement is an incestuous, backstabbing clan. So when such connections are made between various nativist organizations and Forde, they are hardly eye-popping. Neither are the reports of Forde’s contact with white supremacist organizations. If you were to do a Venn diagram of nativist and racist circles, there would be considerable overlap.
