Nancy Lack, Connecticut Woman, Arrested After Stealing Anti-Obama Signs Showing Hitler Mustache

"An 80-year-old Connecticut woman potentially faces three months in jail after being arrested for stealing campaign signs featuring images of President Barack Obama with a Hitler mustache.

Nancy Lack told NBC Connecticut that she'd seen the signs while driving by and was so upset by the imagery that she decided to do something about it.

She exited her vehicle, removed three of the signs and put them in her car. The posters belonged to LaRouche PAC, a group supporting the fringe movement created by Lyndon LaRouche, an eight-time presidential candidate whose followers believe that Obama is involved in an elaborate series of conspiracies and cover-ups that warrant his impeachment."

I know we get rightfully upset when our Obama signs are stolen, but you have to give this 80 year old a

Seriously.

An 80 year old woman is NOT going to jail for removing signs of our President defaced to look like Hitler. No, not if I can do something about it.

But these lame ass LaRouchites are worse than most conservatives. Lyndon LaRouche should be locked up in a hospital somewhere. The guy is absolutely bat-shit insane. He's old, though, so, not long now...

The LaRubish freaks make the President of the United States of America out to be Hitler...And SHE is the criminal.

America has a serious "Right from Wrong" problem.

My mom's side of the family is Jewish so seeing anything nazi offends me. My mom's grandparents moved from Hungary to Ellis Island before the Holocaust. My best friend's grandparents survived the Holocaust. My dad's side of the family is Cuban and moved to the US fifty years ago. I also consider myself part Hispanic so when I hear anything racist about Latinos I also get offended. I'm 22 and my mom is 58 and dad 60. I have a big family with the oldest being 39 and the youngest 19.
