Billboard depicts Obama as gay, gangster, terrorist, and bandit
by GoPride.com News Staff Filed under: Lifestyle, National News, Politics Thu. October 14, 2010 8:20:25 PM : 0 Comments - start the discussion Grand Junction, Colo. — A lot of people are talking about a new billboard in Grand Junction, Colo. which depicts the President as four caricatures sitting around a table: gay, gangster, terrorist, and Mexican bandit. photo Billboard in Grand Junction, Colo. credit :: grand junction sentinel The caricatures are playing cards, and the caption reads: "Vote DemocRAT - Join the game." The artist told the Grand Junction Sentinel that he's not allowed to say who paid for it. "If it had been me, I would have included the Republicans as part of the problem," said Paul Snover, artist and well-known Tea Party activist. Local Republican and Democratic party leaders are not impressed. "It's beyond disrespectful," Mesa County Democratic Party Chairwoman Martelle Daniels told the Sentinel. "You would like to think that we all would show respect for our commander-in-chief, but this is just beyond that. It's racist, it's homophobic, and it's really cowardly." The chairman of the local Republican party called it "juvenile." http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/13883796 My fellow Americans really shame me sometimes.

The billboard is in line with the long history of political cartoons in the US. IMHO the four concepts denote the criticism of Obama's handling of the war on terrorism, connections to Chicago's political machine, the failure to secure the Mexican border, and his position on "don't ask, don't tell". As such, intellectual dishonesty does not apply as issues have been raised in all these areas but the "tastefulness" is always a matter of personal perspective.

I think the intellectual dishonesty pertains to the ingenuous implication that any of those things can be laid exclusively at the feet of OBama and democrats none of those issues(if one believes they are issues) just popped up under this president, and in fact the border issue is media created because we actually have fewer entries and more patrol there than in the past |

The only thing I would say on this is you are what you assiciate with. We prosecute people for associating with know Terrorists foreign and domestic and Obama is close friends with a Domestic Terrorist who is still on the list, granted inactive but still on there. He and his wife, also an Obama friend were on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list and when asked wished they dais they made more bombs and blew more stuff up. Oh and by the way, a bomb that Ayers designed and constructed DID in fact kill three people and seriously injured two while being prepped. |

Just think, if the billboard was about the pedophile Mohammud the artist and owner of the board would have to be in the US Marshall's protective custody for the rest of their life. Go figure.

Hmmm. I don't want a president who only reflects pollsters
surveys of public mood. On the other hand, if you can't stand the heat the you oughtn't be in the kitchen. I'll tell you what - I don't agree with all his policies but I respect the fact that he is working hard and is not for example whining about some cartoonish depiction of him on a billboard. I think he will probably be elected for a second term. The big question is whether the democrats will have majorities in the house and senate... |
