Re: “Mailbag”
See if you guys were "hip-hop fans" maybe you wouldn't be confused see "hitting girls" is slang terminology for "having sexual intercourse with girls," consentual of course, like "Yeah I hit that girl." haha man almost guys almost.
Re: “Mailbag”
Well said, Ms. Gilmer. I don't know the man or his music, but anyone who can discuss his past in this way isn't deserving of much respect, particularly after mentioning his attorney keeping him out of jail, which says a lot about his character. I'm not a hip hop fan either, but someone who uses slander and speaks about condoning violence of any sort isn't the type of person I think should be on the cover of our city's own magazine.
Re: “Mailbag”
I heard about it too because I used to work at congress and the whole staff was upset that night. Everyone knows you got kicked out of that place dude. I cant believe you hit girls and then say you have no regrets. I was really surprised to see you on the cover because of the fact Ive never heard your music, Ive only heard of the messed up stuff youve done, so I refuse to listen to assholes. Dont try to call everyone liars when its clear youre the only liar in this situation.
Re: “Mailbag”
Haha ok you're insanely delusional
Re: “Mailbag”
EVERYONE has heard about you hitting girls and asking about raping them at Hotel Congress last year and then I SAW YOU MAKE your friend hit a security guy before they kicked you out. Glad someone the community actually respects can call you out on your bullshit. A ton of us saw you do it, so don't act like you suddenly forget your a violent egomaniac.
Re: “Mailbag”
Mr. Camacho,
Not only were witnesses present during this account, I first heard about it from police officers, not hearsay. I'm sorry being held accountable seems to be so difficult for you, but assaulting women and using the r-word to them makes YOU the bully. Calling them "fucked-up people" just hurts your case even more. You need to be honest about your past AND answerable for your wrongdoings. Simply forgetting the atrocious things you've done, as appears the current case, is not an option.
Re: “Mailbag”
Was this really the best lie you pulled from the blind raffle out the alleged slanders hat?
Man hopefully next time you mean to discredit me with fake ass bullshit it's a little more ambitious like "Mr. Camacho set fire to a school bus filled with nuns holding newborn babies" or at least make it like six women instead of just two.
My criminal record is public for anyone to see & your allegations aren't on it friendo.
Jan Brewer line was kinda funny tho, I mean, I guess since Hitler was in the bathroom or too busy to make your analogy.
Love, Toothy
Re: “Editor's Note”
Is his son going to perform at Centennial? Fela's music was amazing! Sort of the Bob Marley of S Africa in his message and ability to reach the masses. Congrats on the hard work getting the show here!
Re: “Guest Commentary”
Sorry to say the author was not criticizing Giffords stalling to get the pension. He was siting this as a quality of "astute business people".
It doesn't take a TUSD graduate to figure out that once injured, you could ride on disability for as long as it takes, and she would have waited longer, to secure your federal pension. In the meantime she left her constituents hanging without representation so she could conduct her 'business'.
It doesn't take a thinking person to determine Kelly is a bloated hypocrite. It's a simple observation that anyone can make.
Re: “Guest Commentary”
Contrary to what all of you may think, Mr. Kelly is an elitist. He is a retired Naval aviation officer and astronaut. His life has been one of being coddled and was in a position to get away with what ever he wanted. Remember "Tail-hook"? It was Naval aviators harassing and molesting women. Kelly is part of that culture. It appears to me, and I may be wrong, he is using Gabby's injury as a stepping stone to politics. In the elitist world any and all publicity is good.
Re: “Danehy”
Imagine that, Danehy has issues with anything remotely close to a conservative bent. Both parties are full of hypocrites, just neither of them can see it. Too bad the liberals will not call out one of their own when they stray, like Obama. I wasn't a fan of any of the Bush clan, although Bush the elder was a very nice man face to face. I have been lucky enough to meet three presidents, Carter, Bush and Clinton. Carter was the biggest ass of them all.
Re: “Mailbag”
The dislike(s) above prove(s) that, even in this day and age, being thuggish is in vogue. Lord help us all.
Re: “Mailbag”
I couldn't have put it in words better myself.
Re: “Danehy”
I recall being at opposite ends of whatever topic Barry Goldwater adopted. And I believe you are correct when you say that Goldwater would not sway from an idea even if it damaged him politically. Although some may say he was stubborn, he was a man if integrity, and even though I disagreed with him, I respected his integrity. What a rare and precious commodity that is among todays politicians.
Many may not know this about Goldwater...he was a talented photographer particularly of things having to do with Arizona, and a great collector of Kachina dolls which are now housed for the appreciation of the masses in the Heard Museum in Phoenix. Evidence of another quality Goldwater possessed that most politicians can't even define, humanity.
Re: “Guest Commentary”
Yes, Kelly planned his escape into stardom really well, except that his wife was shot by a lunatic and he will be responsible for her care and comfort for the rest of her life. And you really want to criticize Gabby for waiting to receive a pension when she will never be able to work again? I think you can do better than that.
Re: “Pedersen On Sports”
Desert Diamond is run by tribal officials who may or may not have gaming, hospitality and entertainment expertise. Casino Del Sol is run by gaming, hospitality and entertainment experts who may or may not be tribal.
The above sums it up quite nicely...
Re: “Danehy”
Actually, hypocrite, thy name is Jeb. Anybody remember way, way back in 1989 a cuban terrorist named Orlando Bosch? He blew up a cuban airliner. Killed a whole bunch of people. Orlando illegally entered the country and was caught. Daddy's justice department wanted Orlando deported. Miami's cuban exiles considered Orlando a hero. Jeb steps in and gets his daddy to actually pardon the unrepentant murderer. Orlando lived the rest of his days in Miami, dying at the ripe old age of 84 a couple of years ago. Of course, pardoning Orlando made Jeb the sweetheart of the cuban exile community in Florida, who showered Jeb with money and votes. It was a major reason he was elected governor of Florida. And Danehy thinks Clint is a hypocrite?
Re: “Danehy”
Romney lost the election because all the illegal aliens and dead people voted for Obama. They could do this because Voter ID laws were not in place in most states, especially swing states. Knowing that, it just makes good sense that any well informed Republican wouldn't support a path to citizenship for illegals. If a PTC were to be put into place, Democrats could win the next election and they wouldn't even have to cheat.
Re: “Danehy”
O.K., Tom. You made me laugh. It was worth the price of admission.

Re: “Danehy”
The Charter school movement is a failure, but AZ politicians will keep sending our money down the rabbit hole. And tax credits for private and religious schools? Start an STO, rake in the bucks.
