Illustration of Obama in rifle crosshairs draws fire

A Roswell newspaper is defending a controversial cover illustration that placed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in a rifle's cross hairs.

<snip>

DailyKos readers — Kos receives more than 1.3 million visits a day, according to sitemeter.com — were encouraged to contact the newspaper and its advertisers. By day's end, Holiday Inn announced it would no longer do business with the Beacon, though the paper's publisher, John Fredericks, said editorial decisions would not be influenced by "liberal blogger thuggery."

"Good, bad or ugly, we tell the truth," he said.

1. Please DU the poll on the AJC.

2. Feel free to let the editor of the "Roswell Beacon" know how you feel: http://beaconcast.com/ (even though it's obvious he's a RW jerk)

3. If you are an Atlanta-area resident, please contact the advertisers below the picture, and encourage them to not advertise in this rag (thanks to this blogger on DailyKos for the list! :hi: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/5/20/123456/580 )
