Just Arpaio making threats to appease the birthers (who seem to be growing in numbers among conservatives lately.)

He and his minions have even less authority to see Obama’s certificate that AZ’s Secretary of State, so nothing will come of it. I’ve come to view this stuff as throwing sand in Obama’s re-election gears; it’s a way to slow him down somehow.

Sometimes I get the feeling that many conservatives secretly approve of this crap. It’s blatantly racist and they may not even believe it themselves. However, they’re fine with anything that tears down the President.

I guess it’s kind of like segregation in that way. One has to ask himself what’s worse- the sincere racist who believes that blacks and others are an inferior race or the jerk who panders to that for power. It’s tough.
