Symbol carved into green at Lakeville golf course
Source: 7 News - Boston

LAKEVILLE, Mass -- Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a symbol resembling a swastika carved into the green.

Lakeville County Club workers discovered the vandalism early Monday morning.

Carved into the green on the 18th hole was a swastika look-a-like next to President Barack Obama's name.

1. Why did they have to mess up that perfect green???

"I say, James, I do believe your putt will break to the right...the extreme right."

"A spot-on observation, Chauncey, why don't we just pick up the ball and head to the club for a champagne cocktail?"

"Right-ee-oo, old boy!"

an analog for the I heart Something.

It reads I swastika Obama.

Somewhat more ominous than "next to" Obama, I think.

4. Who Knows But...
if they were trying to make a Nazi reference, they made their swastika backwards. Looks like we're dealing with some real geniuses on this one.

14. Update...
a friend of mine pointed out that the reversed swastika is the symbol for "love" thus that vandalism would translate to "I love Obama".

8. Either Obama is a Nazi
(Common talking point going around nowadays), or the expected racism of neo-nazism against people of color.

10. I think the idea is
I Hate Obama. As the heart symbolizes love, the swastika symbolized hatred.

That's how I read it, anyhow.

17. What a bunch of Morons
The swastika is facing the wrong direction and it isn't set at an angle! The name O BAMA looks like they thought the man was Irish!

19. Yesterday was a school holiday in Massachusetts, Columbus Day..and
well, there's thousands of kids out of school, you know, staying out late, drinking....

Nonetheless, I bet those kids will be nabbed and let's hope they pay for their crime.
