Yes, I am making that comparison. You should dig into the man's history a bit rather than making a kneejerk defense of him.
Joe Arpaio took an oath to enforce the laws of the state of Arizona and also to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution which means also enforcing the federal laws that the current Executive branch of the Federal Government refuses to do.
You Deuce should be directing your hatred at President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. These three individuals have openly refused to uphold and defend our Constitution and enforce our nation's laws.

Sheriff Joe Arpiao must be doing more than upholding the oath he took since he is only the chief law enforcement officer of Maricopa County, Arizona he is still has a national approval rating higher than any other law enforcement officer in history.
Arpaio enforces the law. He is not a reactive law enforcement officer but a proactive law enforcement officer. He doesn't have his deputies sitting in their patrol cars only responding to crimes after they have already happened, his deputies are not liberal / progressive law enforcement officers but proactive, what use to be known as "peace officers", preventing crimes before the happens.
Take a look at the city of Phonix that has a progressive Chief of Police, high crime. Look at the unincorporated areas of Phoenix and Maricopa County where the Arpaio's Sheriff's Department is responsible for. Except for the illegal alien communities, the citizens feel safe, lower crime rates than in Phoenix city limits.
The Mexican drug cartels have put an award out for the assassination of Joe Arpaio and criminal illegal aliens waiting for the Democrat's amnesty also have put out a contrat of Sheriff Joe. The open borders pro illegal alien community have been attacking America's toughest County Sheriff for over a decade and Joe Arpaio is on Obama's hit list.
The only people and other rodents who despise Joe Arpaio are illegal aliens, the Mexican drug cartels, criminals, rapist, pedophiles, thieves, drunkards, drug dealers, President Obama and socialist.
>" You probably know him as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” a name given to him years ago by the media. It’s a name he certainly has earned as head of the nation’s third largest Sheriff’s Office which employs over 3400 people. But even before he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough lawman. After serving in the U.S. Army from 1950 to 1953, and as a Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, NV, police officer for almost five years, Arpaio went on to build a federal law enforcement career and a reputation for fighting crime and drug trafficking around the world.
He began his career as a federal narcotics agent, establishing a stellar record in infiltrating drug organizations from Turkey to the Middle East to Mexico, Central, and South America to cities around the U.S. His expertise and success led him to top management positions around the world with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He concluded his remarkable federal career as head of the DEA for Arizona.
In 1992, Arpaio successfully campaigned to become the Sheriff of Maricopa County. Since then he has been reelected to an unprecedented five 4-year terms. During his tenure as Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arpaio has consistently earned high public approval ratings.
With over five decades experience in law enforcement, Arpaio knows what the public wants, “The public is my boss,” he says, “so I serve the public.” He has served them well..."<
