I used to live there and yup, it's a pretty conservative area. However, no matter how distasteful some may find it, I think it's funny that people are upset with the disrespect shown to the president, and office of the president. Where was the outrage for the 8 years President Bush was in office? He was made fun of and compared to all kinds of things as well................ah the double standard and irony. Ah well, Im sure it will be taken down shortly, you know freedom of expression for the left and all.........

This is one of those too good to be true things.

That billboard is obviously offensive, but then they add things like the Fed Reserve and IRS.

So now people who have seen that billboard will associate people who talk about those two subjects to be racist anti-obama people.

This is a plant.

I have been saying that all along -

Bush spent with the best of them and was completely anti liberty - yet for Eight years Conservative America was perfectly happy, voted for him twice

GREAT POINT OP!!!

Completely different thing unless Obama is your messiah............
President Bush was lampooned for 8 years by the left, the office of the president was as well, and now when their boy gets a taste of it, now it'ss a big deal and wrong? Nah, just the typical double standard.

That makes alot of sense. There is undoubtly alot of shady game playing that is trying to discredit the tea party, and disrupt it from its original goal. A billboard like this would serve there purposes easier than the talking heads in the MSM.

It's not that bad. The only problem I have with it is the Republicans who erected it are blind to the fact that their party is exactly the same.

hopefully it is a sign to come,

we the people are in charge, vote the chumps out but not only once, every frikin time!

WE have the power. VOTE for people you agree with.

these mumps take advantage with no accountability.

lots of regular people would love to have the jobs they do.

well then, who the hell is really qualified to have them anyway? lol.

While I hate to agree with neo96 he is right, it is a 1st Amendment issue.

Yes it's offensive, it was purposely meant to be offensive.

The left did it with bush for years, turnabout is fair play.

Who are you talking too???


Did someone in this thread say its a big deal???

Its like Mass Marketing 101 - create a buzz, create an opinion, then react as if you got the reaction you desired
all along -

All you crying liberal communists in this thread demanding this billboard be taken down are against the 1st amendment too!

Its like Doctor Evil cheesy
