A car dealership in Denver has put up a billboard comparing President Obama to a Jihadist. The billboard also says “BIRTH CERTIFICATE PROVE IT” and "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" The dealer reports his employees have been called names and threatened in phone calls.

WHEAT RIDGE - A billboard from a local car dealership in suburban Denver compares President Barack Obama to a terrorist.

The billboard in Wheat Ridge shows a cartoonish Obama wearing a turban. The billboard says, "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?"

The words "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" appear on the bottom.

6. If that happens I am sure he will blame Obama for that too just
Edited on Sat Nov-21-09 06:17 PM by Kdillard
Like that guy who was blamingj Obama for his GM dealership closing even though Obama had nothing to do with that decision and if Obama hadn't intervened with GM he would be closing anyway because GM would no longer exist. The lack of critical thinking from people like that is astounding.

Actually, it's Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. Just a little change in the order. It's a mouthful.

Really, how the fuck do people get to be so dumb, anyways? It just can't be easy!

19. Use the form to ask them about Tennessee Valley Universalist Unitarian Church & Oklahoma City ...
... where right-wing "Christian" white men displayed their willingness to water the tree of liberty with the blood of little children and churchgoers.

18. Tim McVeigh watered the "tree of liberty" with the blood of little children in a daycare center...
Damn coward thought he was a big man-- and he sure wasn't any Muslim Jihadist.

27. Perhaps my post was unclear....
Edited on Sat Nov-21-09 09:57 PM by Adsos Letter
My call to "WAKE UP AMERICA" was simply a play on what is on that auto dealer's execrable billboard: America needs to "wake up" to the danger of homegrown demagogues (Father Coughlin reference), homegrown militia/anti-government extremists (William Pierce) and the homegrown terrorists in our midst.

38. I didn't even realize that. I thought you were just making an apt observation: America really does..
... need to snap out of it and stop playing with the matches and gasoline of violence.

11. Birth-er Billboard Buffoon isn't even in the top 1000 of Kolorado Krazies.
This guy gives meaning to the phrase, "You are either part of the solution or part of the precipitate." He's the gunk at the bottom of the barrel. He could do something constructive like ask for more help for those suffering through foreclosure. This weekend, another Coloradoan is opening his field up to people so that they can gleam off the vegetables that remained after the harvest.

In fact while other Coloradoans were putting up their Christmas lights this past week under a beautiful blue sky with white mountains in the background, Birth-er Billboard Buffoon was doing this ugly thing. Obviously he hates Christmas too.

Kolorado has the balloon boy and another guy who put armour on a big Caterpillar so he could destroy a mountain town (Granby, CO). Billboard? How weak! We know Krazy in Kolorado and the fact that anyone is giving this guy attention shows that it's a slow news week.

Where was he when George W. Bush was kissing Prince Al Que-da? (I know, his name wasn't really Al Que-da; but, the terrorists were mostly from his country and bush kissed him!) Remember 9/11, you dork?! Obama didn't even have a Daily Presidential Briefing on the Fort Hood killer.

Give thanks that you don't live in this sorry part of Wheatridge where prostitution is common and used car sellers display their madness. Peter Wolf, the Birth-er Billboard Buffoon, must be a terrible disappointment to his parents. Just think, they named their son, Peter thinking of Prokofiev, the composer of Peter and the Wolf. Instead of the happy-go-lucky Peter that the theme for Peter in the song suggests, they get this anal cyst.

30. It should be "President or Mujahid?"
One who engages in Jihad is a Mujahid. If he had wanted to be clear, you would have an equivalence between the two sides of the equation. As it stands, it just doesn't make sense, though I don't know why I expect it to.

39. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And what a POS looking sign. Repukes have no sense of
aesthetics. Poor language skills. And a complete lack of self doubt. I hope he ends up regretting his ugly, pathetic, public exclamation of tea-baggery.
