The power-abusing sheriff at the center of Arizona's war on Mexicans won't be allowed to appear with a local anti-immigration crusader on a local college campus next week -- but that won't stop their crazy train from rolling through town.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- the Phoenix lawman to whom our sister paper, Phoenix New Times, has devoted reams of investigative reporting over the years -- was scheduled to appear with UMKC law professor, Kansas Secretary of State candidate and author of Arizona's controversial immigration law Kris Kobach at a rally next week. But the college hosting the event got cold feet.
Edwin Robinson, president of MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, made the announcement yesterday, citing concerns over safety and the escalating-toward-nutso rhetoric surrounding the event and its controversial speakers.
"I don't mind a clash of ideology, but the rhetoric on both sides was escalating to the point that I was concerned," he told the Star.
But when one door closes on The Guy Who Will Make Kansas the Next Arizona and the Guy Who Made Arizona the Next Guantanamo, another door opens wide: The event has found a home at the Overland Park's Ritz Charles. Seven o'clock on Tuesday, baby. If you like lots of yelling and unclever signage, don't miss it.

The Pitch is helping to incite violence by its hate speech. If violent illegals attack US citizens exercising their free speech rights.
I think this is similar to the "war on drugs" in that we will never stop illegal immigration and never stop drug use PERIOD! What we can do is "fix" all the things that Arizona is trying to outright prevent. Complete the fence, but put up stations along the fence to properly document and welcome these people that want to "take our jobs and exploit our tax dollars". Don't fight the influx of drugs, decriminalize them and their appeal is lost, and/or tax the piss out of them in a retail environment and dealers are gone. I can think of more natural citizens that I would like to have thrown out of the country than illegals.
You know what, we as the so called Americans need to pull our heads out of the hole it is in and think about what our Ancesters did to the Indians many years ago. They were either throwed out of the Countries they came from or left because they didnt want to live by the rules they had to live by. They came to America and stole everything they could from the Indians and murdered them and most of the buffalo, deer and other animals that were here and they called themselves Americans. What's Up they were not Americans.The American people have a lot of room to put other people down. The people from Mexico are in a sense only doing what the so called Americans did hundreds of years ago come here for a better life. PERIOD. I was born in this Great Country and am PROUD to say so,BUT i don't always agree with everything other people do and believe in. I can say for a fact that Americans arn't always the great hard working people that you think they are. I spent nearly 40 yrs working in a factory and we had Mexican workers who were legal citizens and they worked just a hard or harder than the Americans and would work over time when needed when the Americans woulsn't work any over time. SO get your heads in the light.We don't need no Arizona laws in Kansas or no Barney Fife type Arizona sheriffs in Kansas either.
Actually, Leonard, the owners of the venue have every right to ban whoever they like. You know, it's those "property rights" you teabaggers are so big on when exercised by people of whom you approve.
That hillbilly redneck Sheriff Arpaio is a real D-Bag in every sense of the word.

Funny, the same group of whiners that would complain about their rights being trampled, have no problem trampling someone elses rights. You might not like what someone has to say, but they have every right to do so. Just because you don't agree does not mean yoy have the right to ban them from a venue.
Be mad at sheriff Joe, but all he does is enforce the laws. I don't like Kobach, he is just another Republican wind bag, but he has the right to free speech. As for the Illegals, " Yes, they are Illegal Aliens"
, it is time this country did something to stop the invasion from the south. If the Federal government won't, I can't blame Arizona for doing what they did.
Oh and my beef with Joe is not even involving the Illegal immigration issues, although I don't agree with that either...it's about his inhumane treatment of people in his jails...Arizona laws believe you are guilty until proven innocent! Not innocent until proven guilty. The conditions there are sickening. Sheriff Joe needs to finally get put out of office there. Arizona needs to clean up it's act!
Sheriff Joe needs to STAY OUT OF KANSAS!!!!!! HE HAS NO BUSINESS HERE SPREADING HIS UNHUMAN WAYS!
This is how you kill free speech cite "safety" concerns. He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.............. Ben Franklin.
Funny how our institutions for HIGHER learning are turning out to be the first to cave in.
FACT The USA depends on Migrant workers for a competitive world market
FACT Racists, Nationalists, and Isolationists pose a greater risk to the USA than immigrants.
FACT Immigrants are less likely to commit violent criminal offenses than US born Citizens.
FACT we are breading a? whole generation of HATE with broken families and stolen dreams.
FACT it is not a c criminal offense to be undocumented in the USA
FACT is that you are more than 4 times to be assaulted feloniously by a US citizen than a immigrant regardless of civil status.
FACT is that immigrants regardless of civil status affect only a small cross? section of the public negatively for a minimal period of time the long term benefits far outweigh the negatives.
FACT is that the US constitution protects everyone regardless of civil status. Federal law dictates Federal Immmigration.
The author of this article, Joe Tone, would make a perfect addition to the radical "anti-US" Obama administration. The only qualifications are to be a Left wing drone and be, of course, stupid!
Kobach has more intelligence, integrity and accomplishments in his big toe than you will ever have, Joe.
