"Kill Obama" Painted On Phoenix-Area Campaign Signs
PHOENIX, AZ -- "Kill Obama" was spray painted in purple on campaign signs at two locations in Cave Creek, a suburb of Phoenix, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO).

"This is a complete disgrace and gross act towards our president," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, "My deputies are looking into all avenues of the incident, and it is a top priority."

Neither campaign sign is connected to national politics. One supports a measure that would allow Walmart to open a location in Cave Creek. The other supports a school budget increase to lower class sizes for kindergarten through third grade.

According to MCSO, there are currently no known suspects or witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call MCSO at 602-876-1011.

Remember when the left spray painted "kill Bush" on public signs? No? Me neither.

3. Was thinking the same thing... He's been out of the spotlight
for awhile now, maybe he was having paparazzi withdrawals.

2. Wouldn't surprise me if Sheriff Joe was doing it himself
Racist piece of nazi shit that he is.

If it's not him, it's probably the "Pastor Steve" hate cult from Tempe. :puke:

5. From the same article:
"The Phoenix area has had a run of high-profile racist incidents recently. Last weekend, an interracial couple was gunned down while walking through a park last weekend after a stranger with a shaved head and tattoos asked the African-American man why he was "with a white woman."

What's wrong with Phoenix?

7. Damned if I know.
I really love Arizona. It's my "second home state", and always has been. But there are reasons I'll never move there permanently, and the abundance of right wing extremism is certainly at the top of the list. :evilfrown:

4. its indefensible
and while there may not have been "kill bush" spray painted public signs, there were t-shirts with that message (taking off on the "Kill Bill" movies as well as Bush "targets" and other signs. I find them all offensive.
