    Here are a ton of links to some of Arpaio's coverage through the years. Here's hoping stories like these see the light of day again over the next week or so.

    20 years ago Bill Cosby was Americas dad. Fucking media was sleeping on that one.

    Wait, he wasn't the same guy for twenty years?

    What, he was good at first, but just went too far?

    He earned those features 20 years ago fair and square, and the media who sold him as a colorful law enforment dude didn't miss anything?

    Is this what you're telling me?

    What coverage? Haven't you heard? The media built him up 20 years ago and was content to let him be until Trump got into office, when they turned on Joe simply out of spite for Trump. Come on. Get up to speed on this story.

    And that makes calling him the Fuhrer acceptable?

    Call Trump anything you want, but calling him that makes a mockery of Hitler's crimes.

    And the next time someone says Arpaio was convicted of "upholding the law" remember the 400 or so sex crimes that his department felt were "best left unsolved."

    The president of the United States is a racist and a coward and as pure a piece of shit who has ever walked upright. It's all so hard to believe, and once you believe it, to stomach.

    Dude, what the hell are you doing here? This is a spectacularly dumb argument, even by your standards.

    20 years ago he wasn't doing immigration raids. 20 years ago he wasn't raiding the business partners of county commissioners who voted against increasing his funding. 20 years ago the body count at his jail was relatively low. 20 years ago he wasn't ignoring child rapes so he could set up road blocks in Hispanic neighborhoods.

    I mean, why pretend you are this dumb? What do you get out of this?

    These are the very things that earned him media accolades you dummy.

    That's what they liked about him. He solicited the media based on this, and they came running to profile him.

    Now, they act like he's the worst person in the world, and maybe he is, but they made him a star.

    Getting you all worked up?? That's my guess.

    Well, yes, actually, but that's besides the point.

    What the sheriff did was all in the open. It's public record. It's all available via FOIA.

    And, he wasn't hiding what he was doing. The media loved him because of what he was doing.

    Sorry guys, this isn't debatable. The media made him a star.
