Slammed to the ground? He still had his sunglasses on?
“You mess with the bull…”
pepperdowns commented:
don’t smoke crack!
Reaganite Republican commented:
Hang him high, Joe
Noble commented:
These lefties are really getting desparate!! I’d like to see more of them being slammed to the ground.
locomotivebreath1901 commented:
“Crazed Leftist Lunatic?” That’s redundant.
As for having a copy of the Constitution, and obviously unable to comprehend the words on the page, this is S.O.P. for these Liberal fascists – shout down those whose speech they don’t approve.
Noble commented:
Don’t mess with JOE!!!!!
Noble commented:
To StaninTexas—He obviously wasn’t slammed to the ground in Texas!!I know because there isn’t any sign of blood or bruises…
Ella commented:
I love that sheriff. Cleaning up the trash! Literally!
Militant Conservative commented:
Harrass one of the few Sheriffs in the country to uphold the law??? Damn, your dumb.
powder is dry
gus commented:
I guess he knows his 5th amendment rights!
Loooooking gooood Meester Libtard!!!!
StanInTexas commented:
To Noble… And he still has all of his teeth!
MacFletch commented:
I call B.S. on this. If it were one of us (conservatives) being slammed to the ground, you’d all be screaming First Amendment rights violation!
Let’s be bigger than this.
gus commented:
MacFletch, how long have you been a LIBTARD??
raybojabo commented:
Arpaio for President!!
Guy in Ohio commented:
MacFletch, YOUR right to free speech doesn’t include trampling the rights of other people who have peacefully assembled to listen to someone else exercising THEIR right to free speech. When you become a nuisance to those around you, you should be arrested.
And, do you want to know why you don’t see “conservatives” screaming about being slammed to the ground? Because conservatives are adults, and they don’t act like spoiled brats. They exercise their first amendment rights responsibly. Now go away …
Chris Clinkinbeard commented:
To MacFletch: Did you not see that he struck one of the officers with his bike? You can hear him say “I didn’t mean to do that”. Too bad pal.
Finncrisp commented:
So far, all the feds have on Joe is his office charged something to the wrong cost center. 3 years of investigation and this is all they have? Congress never charges things to the wrong account, right…
gus commented:
Psssssst MacFeltch psssssttt MacFeltch, your handlers over at the Daily kook need you to check in. Seems there might be a tea party somewhere, and they need you and your vuvezeula to attend. Bring BAND-AIDS.
gus commented:
Finncrisp. Golly, I wonder why the Federal govt. is investigating Arpaio.
CommieJuice commented:
There is a PINK JUMPSUIT with his name on it, lol!
KornKing commented:
Like the Social Security Trust Fund?-oops-those are IOU’s I guess
commonman commented:
Leftist carrying a copy of constitution now thats funny
Rob Crawford commented:
“Leftist carrying a copy of constitution now thats funny”
I’m surprised he hadn’t already used it for toilet paper.
MacFletch commented:
Guy in OHio – sorry, but no. Nuisance speech is protected under under the First Amendment. I’m here to stay.
Chris Clinkinbeard – missed that part because of volume restrictions at work. I’m OK with it now. Hit a cop, get manhandled. That’s how it goes.
Mark commented:
Senator Barbara Idiot Boxer and many others bounced checks at the Congressional Bank, not just NSF but outrageously, for years and the law was ignored for these our masters.
Trialdog commented:
He’s now a good “crazed leftist”, redundant as that may be.
tommy mc donnell commented:
notice how all this increase in violent behavior by liberals has occured AFTER obama’s big sppech of the need for civility. why is it that they don’t listen to their leader.
GrayRider commented:
MacFletch #12

Entry in notebook:
“Apparently another myth about these daywalking liberals has been put to rest. Before this day it was common knowledge that the touch of the Constitution was deadly to them. Even reproductions and booklet versions were said to cause horrific pain. To be absolutely certain, we need to know if it was not just some piece of random text with the “The Constitution” written at the top.”
Guy in Ohio commented:
No MacFletch, what that man was doing it is not “protected”. Are you telling me you can stand up in a classroom or church and disrupt the speaker without the authorities being called and arresting you? I think not. Face it. People have a right to speak and be heard, but they do NOT have a right to prevent other people from exercising that same right, which is what that tool was doing. The fact that you are supporting him tells us all we need to know about you.
Jon commented:
Tells a lot about some of you that claim you know the constituation yet say the Governor of Michigan has the right to overthrow city,village and county government.From what I have read on this sheriff he arrested(falsely) those running against him. Remember absolute power corrupts and this sheriff even though I agree with his tent city except for making people watch fox.,He has taken his power to heart and used and abused it.What say you TP people do our votes count or don’t they?????I also have to say at any rallies ect I have never seen a liberal or moderate use guns to intimidate others,now tell me again who is the adult here?????
wodun commented:
Looked like a common heckler.
When he was surrounded and moved on his bike he bumped into a cop and they took him down. The guy couldn’t move more than an inch without touching the cops surrounding him. Clearly the cops over reacted.
The heckler was being a dumba** but there isn’t a law against that.

Let’s see some links. Those are some pretty big charges.
HeavyDee commented:
These damn cutbacks are crippling law enforcement!! Where was that critical “fourth officer” to apply the much deserved “boot to the goatee??”
dunce commented:
After the first few tea parties the riot squads were out in force but were humiliated when their antics were caught on camera phones and the tea parties were as rowdy as the average church picnic. Now when there are tea party people being assaulted, the police look the other way. It would be a good thing to remember when your next city and county election city and county election is scheduled. City police chiefs are not elected but are usually appointed by the city council. As for sheriff, look at the clown in the Gifford attack who was in large part responsible for the dope head shooter not being under control and trying to blame Palin and Limbaugh for his own incompetence. He proudly proclaimed that he would not arrest illegal aliens many of whom are drug and arms dealers. Most of the pot in that area comes directly from Mexico.
akw commented:
This guy HATES the sheriff. He started gunning for him when he was only 24 = probably got busted. He’s a democrat who also runs for mayor of Phoenix when he’s not working for tips at a sandwich shop. He’s been arrested before for possession. He’s divorced and has one teenage daughter.
He’s an “activist” loser, and I’m quite sure that those cops already knew who he was, and I watched them give him a chance to leave the area he wasn’t supposed to be in, and he chose to stand there and argue with them. It’s too bad these cops weren’t standing by Gabby Giffords, and I’m sure they were taking no chances on a repeat by this blowhard.

David Kramer commented:
Something that can never soak into a liberal head is the basics of Natural Law. Do no harm to another and do not infringe on their rights to Life, Liberty and Property.
See, because you have the right to free speech, it does not give you the right to infringe on someone else’s free speech. No, it is not codified that way, it is common human decency though. That is what every leftists fail to grasp.
Nigel commented:
Wow, listen to yourselves….he didnt get bruised, he was a raving leftie. Come on you idiots. This makes the tea party look like Nazis, taking a mans right to free speech away on film . NAZIS.
Eyeball commented:
I hope the guy likes to wear pink.
