Obama Sign In Yard Stirs Up Neighbors


www.cfnews13.com
BAREFOOT BAY -- A sign in one man's front yard has stirred up a controversy in his community.

Neighbors of Andy Lacasse said the sign, which reads "Obama Half-Breed Muslin [sic]," breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.

"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13. "If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there."

Do you think those comments were intended to be complimentary? Personally, I have never heard anyone use that term when referring to another person in a positive way. Of course, there are more offensive words he could have used, but to me his message is clear.

It is not a word that is used here, as Mixed race are generally accepted in both of their parents cultures.

Yes, they generally are, except for the racists.

That would be really great. Makes me wish we could contact his neighbors and give them that idea.

It's true though, the guy has a right to his free speech - even given it's ignorance.

He's only getting votes for the guy he says he doesn't like.

I agree with your post.

The saying "There's no such thing a bad publicity" comes to mind.
