I picked up one of those small local newspapers earlier
To check out the want ads.
I was appalled to see a picture of former Sheriff David Clarke on a whole page ad, announcing that he is going to speak at the Mahoning County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner!
"Sheriff Clarke has redefined modern conservatism. His provocative commentary will make for a "rip-roaring" evening of fun and politics!" it says.
This is the kind of scum bag that the GOP reveres???? 
Gee, maybe he'll include discussion of all those inmates that died in his jail as part of the "hilarity"....
= new reply since forum marked as read
our Repugs look up to, no matter what their history of actions show. After all, look who the have as a "leader!"
I feel your pain - to think that people are gonna' pay money to see and hear this cretin. I wonder how many ribbons he'll earn (award himself) for his chest by showing up? 
to see this asshole!
It costs $2500 for a table for 8 if you want to be a "Gold" event sponsor.
Although general reception and dinner is $60 p/p or $100/couple.
"VIP Reception and Dinner" is only $150 p/p or $250/couple.
I thought it would be fun to go and heckle, probably get thrown out .... but not at THOSE prices!
You won't have IQ45 there to be willing to pay court costs - oh, wait, he'd pay their costs (actually, he'd skip out on paying them) for the people that roughed you up on your "exit!"
PLEASE, don't go - for SO many reasons!!!!! 
I can't afford it, anyway! Nor would I want to give one thin dime to that crowd of cretins!
But thank you for your overwhelming concern!
