Ya know where we really need a no fly zone?

Laura Flanders, formerly of Air America, the liberal talk radio network fiasco, currently of GritTV and Counter Punch has decided that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is just as evil as Qaddafi because he wants to use aircraft to stop drug dealers, smugglers and general ne’er-do-wells from crossing his county.

Qaddafi, after all, isn’t the only one using military technology against his own people. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, has launched “Operation Desert Sky” to round up “illegal drugs and human cargo”—read, men, women, human, immigrants.

Um, criminals?

Isn’t it time for a no-fly zone in Arizona? The state senate failed to pass Russell Pearce’s anti-immigrant bills, but Arpaio, who just recently performed a tank raid on suspected cockfighters for A&E’s TV cameras and Steven Seagal, is clearly escalating.

Former GRITtv guest Salvador Reza, an Arizona immigration activist, says it’s unconscionable for Obama and the Justice Department to be part of Arpaio’s coalition of the willing. But beyond that, isn’t it time for us to put a stop to Arpaio’s violence once and for all?

Really? Violence? Flying observation aircraft is now violence?

Thirty aircraft will be used in the operation, and, according to the Cypress Times, will be furnished and flown largely by the sheriff’s armed volunteer posse—in other words, vigilantes. They’ll be armed with M-16s and a 50-caliber machine gun.

Yeah, been reading about the border recently Laura? The bad guys down there have guns and shoot at American cops. It’s not like Arizona LEOs are going to be strafing innocent women and children, for Pete’s sake.

It’s no wonder that Air America went broke if this bint is an example of the talent they hired.

Thanks to ROS for the tip.
