Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio dares George Lopez: Say it to my face

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-na-nn-sheriff-joe-arpaio-george-lopez-20120717,0,1024518.story
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn't laughing at George Lopez's new one-man show on HBO in which the comedian blasts the Maricopa County lawman for his position on immigration and his "birther" stance.

In fact, Arpaio is daring the comedian, via the media, to stop hiding behind the mike and "meet me face to face."

The controversial sheriff said he and his wife were flipping through the channels Saturday night when they paused to linger on Lopez's show, "George: It's Not Me, It's You." Arpaio said he was shocked at the potty-mouthed language coming from the comedian and switched to another channel without realizing the diatribe was aimed at him.

An Arizona reporter helpfully filled Arpaio in on the details.


I wouldn't dare go anywhere near Arpaio's neck of the woods and I just don't understand how this dangerous crackpot has been allowed to go on like this all these years.

I believe that's what Mr. Lopez said, and I heartily endorse his statement. I hope Lopez spits it in his face.

Probably too lazy to get their scooters out in the sun and have another bagger parade. Disgusting waste of tax payer money and media air time. No wonder the world looks down on Americans.

How about we arrange that meeting for you and Lopez in East Los Angeles?

Funny how colorful language upsets him but he is fine with tearing families apart and torturing those in his jail.

If that lazy redneck wants a face to face confrontation why not go to one of Lopez's shows somewhere where he has no jurisdiction.
