Anti-Obama Signs in the Port City



WILMINGTON -- Several anti-Barack Obama signs have popped up around the Port City.

The signs read "No-Bama" and features a three pictures: the Illinois Senator smoking, Osama Bid Laden, and the imprisoned former State Representative Thomas Wright.

The signs also list several links to anti-Obama web sites such as: dontvoteobama.net; ObamaTruth.com; and ExposeObama.com.

The local Democratic Party said they were unaware of the signs, since they appear to be randomly placed on city streets.

[NightWatcher]

24. can we start a 527 that calls McCain the Manchurian candidate, or...

float the possibility that he is mentally broken after spending such a long time as a POW. Could we also call the website www. Mc Batshit Crazy (dot) com? Could we sponsor an ad on tv that runs a loop of saying that he hates gooks?

[zabet]

27. You can do all of that if you have enough money. nt

[Patsy Stone]

49. A grass roots fundraising effort

and an A/V geek is all ya need.

[knixphan]

yes

[Hoof Hearted]

80. Start a 527 and you can say anything you want with enough money.

[SoonerPride]

72. McCain was a terrible pilot but a really good singer.

Fuck him.

"War hero" turned "war monger."

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

2. self delete

[boston bean]

9. You have any proof the clinton campaign is behind that, if so post it promptly, if not don't type

that shit out.

[movonne]

18. Fist thought that I had was another hillary hit job..

[boston bean]

55. that is nothing but a simple thought in your head, not real and no proof. nt

[rodeodance]

98. get your thoughts out of the gutter!!

[Mooney]

3. Oh god he smokes!!!!

[depakid]

31. That's not necessarily a negative deal in North Carolina

[Mooney]

48. I know! It might pick him up a vote or two.

[Lucky 13]

33. He USED to smoke. Quit.

[VolcanoJen]

52. Nice photoshop of him smoking, but ZOMG OBAMA IS A SMOKER11!!!!!!11

Is this shit for real? Are people who would be affected by this even registered to vote, let alone registered to walk across a street???

[Why Syzygy]

120. He QUIT!!!

[PoliticalAmazon]

4. I wonder how they would react to finding out the woman with whom Hillary is rumored...

...to be having a long-term partnership with, Huma Abedn, is Muslim?

Hmmm...Maybe I should spend a few minutes in PhotoShop.

[Mezzo]

11. *I* wonder how they'd react to the rumor that BO is on the d-low, hittin' a crack pipe and gettin' a

Monica with a guy. I wonder what that photoshop would look like.

[IndianaGreen]

15. If Hillary were having an affair with another woman, she would be more human

Obviously she is not!

[zabet]

14. Thanks!

[bluestateguy]

6. Hillary AND McCain need to denounce this right away

This is mudslinging, and there is no place for mudslinging in American political campaigns.

[enid602]

26. right

Absolutely, particularly after Hillary's 'shame on you' comment after the flyer's urging repubs and Hillary-haters to vote in the Dem primary.


But this, this is just way too ugly for words. I suppose it's someone's idea of a cute joke; they just don't realize how it hurts us as a people.

[Hoof Hearted]

39. If it gets media attention they should but not until and here's why

Media attention is exactly what the assholes who have those websites want. Denouncing them before media attention would all but guarantee that attention would follow. If the signs are already getting large media attention then that damage is done, and they should denounce it.

[galaxy21]

7. I love how they use a pic of him with a cigarette

Because the ciggie makes him look that much more evil?

[gateley]

8. This is filth.

I react to it as if it were an anti-racial piece. Maybe it is.

[NightWatcher]

10. Rumor also has it that he has fathered two black children? btw who owns those websites?

anyone run a Whois check yet?

[Patsy Stone]

12. Please see Post #1 n/t

[IndianaGreen]

13. Hey that's the photo that banned DUer liberal nurse used to have on her posts

The one of Obama smoking, except that liberal nurse used a darker tone for Obama, making him look like Robert Mugabe.

[zabet]

17. That photo is all over the web.

Nice attempt to pin it to a tombstoned Hillary supporter though.

[IndianaGreen]

20. At the time, liberal nurse was claiming to be an Obama supporter

and I called her on it on the Obama group.

[Guaranteed]

25. Arrrrre....you a Hillary supporter? nt

[zabet]

30. Why? Does that make this post any less relevant?

Looks like the Obama supporters in NC at least would thank me for giving them the 'heads up' on this but, as always, because of my choice of candidate, my information is deemed worthless by many here.
Sad lot for a bunch of so-called progressives.

[Guaranteed]

32. Well, I haven't seen any repudiation of this from you.

Do you support this smut?

[zabet]

40. I do not agree with the sign.

I do believe in freedom of speech. Even Obama said bigots should have their voices heard.

Furthermore, my repudiation is irrelevant in this matter. Nice attempt to smear me though.

[Guaranteed]

43. What don't you agree with? The part about Obama not getting elected?

And your repudiation certainly is relevant if you're bringing this to the table- especially as a Clinton supporter. Either you're telling everyone this because it disgusts you, or you're promoting it.

[zabet]

50. Makes you wonder don't it?

It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you.

[beezlebum]

44. kind of difficult to discern what your intentions were

when you failed to repudiate or denounce or express any opinion whatsoever, other than offering that it is protected under free speech...

[zabet]

57. I am not running for any office.

I do not need to reject, denounce, or repudiate anything for anyone here. I am a registered Democrat is all anyone here needs to know right now.

[Guaranteed]

64. Well, if you were PROMOTING this kind of racist attack against our presumptive nominee,

you'd be in big fucking trouble with DU. You know that, right?

[zabet]

71. Unlike many here,

I have actually read and abide by DU's TOS.

70. okay

well don't get pissy when someone interprets this as your support for that bile due to your failure to present your opinion on the matter

[gateley]

86. I'm guessing yes -

the addresses of the ant-Obama sites in bold type are a hint.

[VolcanoJen]

58. I know liberalnurse, and it's unfair to characterize her that way.

She's worked very, very hard for Democratic causes here in Ohio for years. She's true blue. This mischaracterization of her is as shitty as mischaracterizing Obama with this kind of shitty smear campaign.

I'm with Obama and she's with Clinton. But I know her, I know what I'm talking about, and in the end, we need both of us.

[rodeodance]

116. We seldom agree. but thank you for your post about LN. You are right--she is true blue,

[kenny blankenship]

101. Everywhere YOU go maybe

[rodeodance]

118. Stop talking about a DU member like that.

[rwheeler31]

16. Why is the local Dem Party unaware? Stay on this crap and call

the office if you see any offensive signs.

[zabet]

21. It was on the news but, much like the NC GOP ad using

Obama and Rev. Wright, the laws of freedom of speech apply here.

[SoCalDem]

23. Unfortunately it's probably NOT against the law

make a single statement. I just cut and pasted the news article and pic from the link.

[Guaranteed]

36. Well, yeah, and because it's so disgusting it sure seems like you're promoting it.

Otherwise, you would have said something, right?

[zabet]

42. Wrong. I presented the facts.

It is useless to opine in this forum these days. No one listens, they just snap, snarl and nip at your heels.

109. Nobody is promoting anything. Get that straight. op was posted for FYI--do you want your head in the

sand and not know about it.??

[cali]

38. no, you didn't condemn this in any way. you made

a self-righteous comment in the thread about free speech and your pleasure in this bigotry is quite clear.

[zabet]

47. Whoa....

Support of Free Speech = bigotry

Again, it does not one whit of good to opine in this forum because too many Obama supporters are waiting to tell me what I meant, regardless of what I said...and if I do not say any thing, Obama supporters are there to tell me what I am saying by not saying anything.

I think it is just the fly that makes you think I am gleeful. He's a happy little fella with all the shit that is slung around here for him to feed on.

[cali]

59. nol that's not what I said.

You've opined here plenty and expressed your hate of Senator Obama on multiple occasions. Why did you post this? What could possibly have been your motivation? Gee, considering your history of full throated bashing of Obama that's not difficult to figure out. I ain't buying your bridge or your "innocence". Not for a second.

[zabet]

76. I may expressed dislike of Obama in a choice between him and Hillary

but you speak large untruths when you say I have expressed hate here. Why did I post this? I am in NC, I actually made the mistake of thinking that Obama supporters would like to know what is going on so they can take action.

Don't worry, one bit, twice shy, I'll not make that mistake again. I don't care to post here about the billboards that are going up next week, I don't care to post about a local group doing a 'grass-roots' home made 527 mailer against Obama, because Obama supporters don't care. All they want to do is attack anyone who does not genuflect when they say Obama's name.

Why? You wanna pm me? Wanna be my buddy? I doubt it.

[Moochy]

89. Thats the Ignore yourself link

you cant click on it

[Guaranteed]

82. So you are neither for or against this, you just want to do Obama a favor.

By posting racist garbage.

[rodeodance]

105. Don't you want to be informed of what is going on? Stop with the shit against the OP.

[Guaranteed]

108. Yeah! I should just go over to like, Michael Savage's website and start

posting everything he says- with NO commentary on its vileness. Just the "facts," man

We could have GD: P filled to the brim with RW filth in no time!


I had NO idea that's the way this board works! In fact, I coulda sworn....

[rodeodance]

113. I had no idea this smear crap was going in NC. I am glad to be informed.

60. "Support of free speech"

sounds like me at age 13 when i cussed in front of my momma. or when i told her i could do what i wanted, it was (hurrrr) a free country...

[beezlebum]

54. which leaves it open to interpretation

and given your lack of making a single statement, we are only left to guess what your your feelings.

and given that hillary has only implied that obama might be muslim or that he is unpatriotic or that he is black or that she would obliterate a country in a hypothetical scenario (oh...wait)...hmmm...

[zabet]

65. Left open to interpretation. hmmm

What is so hard to interpret from the article I posted? My feelings are actually irrelevant. Some Obama supporters have their heads so far in the sand that they have made this thread about how I feel about this. When, what they should be doing is calling the NC Dem party, calling the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, etc. You lose sight of your goals that can actually accomplish something when you constantly attack the messenger baselessly.

I cannot believe the 'shoot the messenger' megalomaniac mindset here.

[Moochy]

75. The intent of the message is more important than its sign or signifigant

[zabet]

79. In your little world maybe.

[Moochy]

83. Shall I school you, you cute lil' Low information Voter?

[beezlebum]

81. groan.

i'm not shooting the messenger, i'm questioning the messengers motives after posting a non-biased article with no opinion implied. your motivation and opinion are key to your supposed argument- you argued that you were somehow doing us thankless obama supporters a favor by giving us a "heads up." thanks for the concern, i think.

[gateley]

94. And put the anti-Obama website addresses in BOLD PRINT. Slick. nt

[beezlebum]

97. good catch. nt

[rodeodance]

110. oh yeah. such a good clue.

Need to check themselves into a facility. Really. The people behind those websites are your real problem, and this is the tip of the iceberg.

[zabet]

35. They would rather shoot the messengers, and you know what that causes?

Nobody will tell you anything any more and you are left in the dark not knowing half of the shit you need to know.

[leftofcool]

37. This is pathetic!

[AlinPA]

41. Clinton campaign signs? I would not be surprised. nt

[bullwinkle428]

45. The fuckers that do this kind of thing will all come out of

their little hidey-holes if/when Obama becomes the official nominee. Maybe it's best for this country that these pricks get exposed for all they're worth, like turning the light on in a kitchen full of cockroaches!

[KAZ]

56. "hidey-holes"? They're on this board. They're in this thread.

[kenny blankenship]

51. Just the kind of shit I'd expect to see at Free Republic - well done!

[TragedyandHope]

66. So McCain doesn't have a chance against Obama

because Bush couldn't find Osama?

[merh]

68. do you live in NC?

[zabet]

87. Yes. nt

[newmajority]

73. I'm not surprised. There are some serious racist assholes in Wilmington

Used to argue with one of those white supremacist, "Christian Identity" cowards back in the old dial up BBS days before Al Gore's Superhighway became a reality.

These pieces of shit believe that they are the "true Israel", that Jesus Christ was a white European, and that "race mixing" is about the most terrible sin on the planet. They also consider the KKK to be cowards because "if you're a racist, you should be goddamn proud of being a racist, not hidin' under a sheet!!"

Very warped excuses for human beings

[Guaranteed]

85. And some who aren't even against racism on this very board. nt

[zabet]

91. Oh my.

[Guaranteed]

96. Yes. Here we are, 100 posts in, and you still haven't told us how

disgusting the sign is.


I get the feeling that maybe you don't want to, that that wasn't your intention, here! Hell, maybe I'm wrong, though.

[uponit7771]

114. You know, are these signs REALLY that bad?

I mean, it's just Osama NEXT TO Obama, right? There's not necessarily any kind of implied connection between the two, or underlying bigotry against Islam. Ha ha!


You know, we should start posting stuff from neo-nazi sites around here, just to "let people know what's going on." Gotta keep up with those guys! Besides, maybe we've just been close-minded, and they've got some good, fresh ideas!
