The Wallis police chief stopped by and asked him to take the sign down??? (Wallis is in the Houston area)

[TheZMan]

If it wasn’t a several-hour drive I’d go to his bar just to leave him a tip.

[tsmith130]

Are messages on a Wallis sign going too far?

Yes...he really doesn't need to use THAT many exclamation points. Other than that...no.

"There's no cursing, there's nothing religious on there. There is nothing racist. All of my statements are general statements, it's meant for everybody."

Apparently the bar owner's not as up on his First Amendment as he thinks he is.

"To me they are racially motivated, they are singling out certain nationalities and that's just not appropriate," said Titania Newsom.

Since there is no reference to race/color, I'd say Titania herself is racist, assuming that welfare cases are all minorities.

[Salvey]

There is nothing racist.

He's right. They're trying to use "flying-imams" intimidation tactics against him.

[Just another Joe]

No, it's not going too far.
IMO, it's not going far enough but it's probably as far as the government will let it go.

"To me they are racially motivated, they are singling out certain nationalities and that's just not appropriate..."

There is no race stated there. If anyone implies a race, it is their own prejudice.

Don't stop free speech!

[Dustbunny]

Wow, excellent

[television is just wrong]

the sign doesn’t go far enough.

[IronJack]

"Welfare started as a hand up, not a generational lifestyle."

Aside from the fact that truth is an absolute defense, there is nothing in this that hints at race. The subject is "Welfare," not any particular group of welfare recipients.

The inference being drawn by the CRITICS is racist.

[SittinYonder]

Isn’t it more prejudiced to assume the signs are talking about a specific race?

[cripplecreek]

The sign tells the truth.

Sitting in a courtroom once I heard a judge tell a girl “Welfare is a temporary crutch, not a permanent wheelchair.”

#####”I’m a taxpayer....”#####

That’s your problem, Mr. Ransom. You’re not a member of a protected group.

Keep on doing what you’re doing! The majority of the people support you, even if the political hacks won’t.

"To me they are racially motivated, they are singling out certain nationalities and that's just not appropriate," said Titania Newsom

There are plenty of whites on welfare, Titania. Your statement, not the sign, implies racism.

[FreePaul]

He could have really gotten attention if he had asked Titania Newsom If she thought that welfare payments were niggardly.

[org.whodat]

"If you can't feed them, don't breed them"

That should be tattooed on a lot of young men in this country just before they casterate them.

[monkeycard]

Looks good to me.

“To me they are racially motivated, they are singling out certain nationalities and that’s just not appropriate,” said Titania Newsom.”

Who the heck is she and why should anyone care what she thinks?

From the examples given, which do not come close to supporting her whine, I’d have to conclude she is at least an idiot.

I could think of a lot of pithy sayings for his sign. “Noise is not music” being one.
