Arpaio aide is loyal listener to Spanish show

Aug. 30, 2006 12:00 AM

For the past six weeks, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputy has been monitoring a Spanish-language radio show for threats on Sheriff Joe Arpaio's life.

None has been heard, but the daily recording of the 740 AM morning show hosted by Elias Bermudez, an immigrant rights activist, continues. More than 45 hours of the show are stored on two dozen cassette tapes.

The monitoring started, the Sheriff's Office says, after a tip from Bermudez. The host told the Sheriff's Office that a caller claimed a Mexican hit man had been hired to kill Arpaio. advertisement




Bermudez said he would tell Arpaio's office about any such calls. But there hasn't been any since.

Bermudez said he couldn't give the Sheriff's Office the phone number of the caller because the station doesn't have the equipment to track calls.

Arpaio is mentioned frequently on the show, Bermudez said. People say they wish Arpaio would drop dead or had never been born. But mostly they talk of getting him out of office and ridicule Bermudez for a stunt in July, when the activist got on his knees and begged Arpaio to stop arresting undocumented immigrants on smuggling charges.

That day, Arpaio asked Bermudez whether his statements were a threat.

Bermudez said he hopes the Sheriff's Office will learn something by listening - not about death threats, but about the immigrant community.

That's unlikely. The only benefit to Bermudez would be if the deputy paid to monitor his show has a ratings book.

If yes, how could the delegates achieve this?

Whatever one's personal views, it is obvious that a large majority of Labour Party members greatly disapprove of Blair's record, particularly over Iraq and the Lebanon but also in relation to privatisation. How can the Party retain any future credibility with the electorate if it has supported a leader with whom it is in fundamental disagreement?

Serious answers please. Anbody can slag off Blair or indeed any other leading politician.

"We want to cooperate to build a new world where states' and people's self-determination are respected," Chavez said after a 2 1/2-hour meeting with Assad at the presidential palace.

Don't you find that kind of statement being made in the capital of a Baathist goverment highly contradictory? And this from a man who supports Castro and Iran?

Do you think the "war on drugs" is just an excuse to target blacks and other minorities? Think about it.... this so called war hasn't stopped anybody from using drugs, (people are going to get hight regardless), but it has incarcerated alot people and thats about it.

If someone comes over to your house (unsolicited) and mows your grass and then demands payment, are you obligaobligated to pay them? I am a contract builder and remodeling a house in Johnson County Texas, so I have had guys walk up and ask for jobs in which I hired them. A nosey neighbor kept stopping by to hang out, well one day I am on the roof and I see him down there mowing the grass, I didn't think anything of it. When I came down from the roof we had a glass of tea and went on our way. He didn't ask for money, or asked to be paid, or ask for a job, or ask if he could mow the yard. Now four months later he's getting a divorce or something and I think he is hard up for cash and the constable delived me a letter telling me he is suing me. It'll cost me more in attorney fees and court fees to take him to court. Any Lawyers out there got any advise? Or anyone...?

Mexican flag flies at Maywood, Calif., post office (courtesy: Terry Anderson show)
Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

Police officers in Maywood, Calif., Saturday eventually came to the pole to remove the flag but had bottles and rocks thrown at them, a radio listener named Sandra reported to the Terry Anderson show, heard on KRLA in Los Angeles.

A video can be viewed here and photographs can be seen here on the website of Save our State, a border security group there along with the Minutemen to protest Maywood declaring itself a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens.

The radio listener, volunteering for Save our State, said that when she arrived at the rally she was rushed by counter-protesters who called out, "Death to the Minutemen."

"They pushed me around and told me if I was to take one step further, they would beat the s*** out of me," Sandra said. "I looked to the back of me and there were about four police officers leaning on their vehicle just watching, doing nothing!"

As she stepped forward, Sandra said, the counter-protesters stole her sign and ripped it up as another threw water on her.

A police officer eventually escorted her to her group.

The opposition, she said, began to get louder, and then "we watched as they took the American flag off of the flag pole and stepped on it on the ground at the United States post office and mounted a Mexican flag, and up it went."

At this point , she said, "the police did nothing."

"Finally, they went over to take it down, and they had bottles and rocks thrown at them," she said. "They did not attempt to arrest anyone. They were unable to take it down because they cut the wrong line so the flag remained there for the rest of the day."

Sandra said another woman was beaten as police watched, as well as an elderly man, noting the counter-protesters "tend to pick on the weaker targets."

"I believe that all Americans need to know about this and need to see that Mexican flag hanging at an American post office," she wrote to Anderson. "We are being invaded and the American people need to wake up!"

Blogger Bridget Johnson, who also was at the event, said that along with Maywood's flouting of immigration law, as a "sanctuary city," it has disbanded its police department's traffic unit so illegals without driver's licenses won't be fearful of getting their cars towed.

Referring to the supporters of open borders, she called it an "afternoon chock full of racism, "reconquista" and riot cops, which included a sign claiming North American is a "stolen continent."

Johnson said that "after the local post office took down the American flag at closing time, pro-immigration demonstrators promptly ran the Mexican flag up the flagpole. Eventually, police officers surrounded the flagpole and tried to get the Mexican flag down, but the cords got twisted and they could only lower it to half-staff."

In March, a high school in Southern California punished a student for involvement in a protest in which a Mexican flag was flown above an upside-down U.S. flag.

The incident took place at Montebello High School in Montebello, Calif., when students walked out of classes at area schools in protest of a proposed federal immigration bill.

In April, a Tucson, Ariz., man was arrested after he burned a Mexican flag while demonstrating against the flow of illegal aliens into the United States over the southern border.

Thousands of supporters of illegal aliens gathered in April to protest events in over 60 cities nationwide, but most left home the Mexican flag, because of the controversy it had stirred in previous events.

In what was being called a "campaign for immigrants' dignity," demonstrators instead carried the U.S. flag, a noticeable change from previous rallies in opposition to immigration-reform legislation pending in Congress.
