Yep, putting Oboma’s mug on a billboard is disgusting, but I wouldn't have taken it down.

If they felt they needed to change it, they should have put Mussolini's mug on it.

I thought it was fine as it was.

I thought it was a public service announcement.

Spineless. It’s admitting that they’re right. So, take it down and say ‘You can’t read what we put here. Thank the president.’.

Tsk, missed opportunity.

I wouldn’t say that. The billboard got national attention and a million dollars worth of free publicity, which is more than would have happened had it been allowed to stand unnoticed in Mason City for a year.

The Tea Party folks asked that it be taken down, if I read it right. Have they been infiltrated, or did they figure that the point has been made?

I disagree and wish the guy would have not asked his billboard be removed - I thought the anti-socialism message was very clear and the pics were not too strong, they were appropriate

Yeah - but the attention it got was editorial.
Look at this! This is bad!

Then they pull it thus saying, "We agree, it's bad, we retract our statement".

No. A clear loss to the Libs.

They're following Marquis of Queensbury Rules in a trench warfare knife fight.

Such is the nature of incremental insidiousness that our God Given Right to speak Truth to execrable bloody politicians and to the fascists and crypto-fascists that slurp up their slime and support them has been turned absolutely on its head.

None of which detracts one iota from the Truth that, sign or no sign, the moronically-marijuana-mumbling mobbed-up murtadd-Muslim mother’s milquetoast is the definitive Mussolini-modeled modified-Marxist.

Or, that is (and this will especially help any among us who’re from Yorba Linda) a fascist.
