This Texan takes bumper stickers to a whole new level.

A photo of a truck with Texas tags that features on the tailgate one the most racist decals, complete with a real (and fresh) banana, that targets President Barack Obama was posted to Reddit on Thursday.

"Does this Socialist a** make my truck look too big," the decal, which appears to be professionally done, reads. It also includes photo of Obama dressed in Somalian garb from a 2006 meeting in the country.

The image was taken in the East Texas town of Tyler at the intersection of Loop 323 and Highway 155 and posted by Reddit user bluchunks.

That’s a banana? I just assumed that it was a crescent moon.

[crusty old prospector]

I’ve seen it before. Way cool.

When it’s a liberal speech needs to be curtailed, but if it’s a Republican it’s ok to write books and make movies about his assassination and we must look at the art behind the work.

What part of it is racist? Zer0!

[goat granny]

like you, I don’t see anything racist about the truck. It must mean its racist to put a picture of the president on the back of the truck....idiots...

[publius911]

I must not have the "victim" gene. I don't see the racism.

I've thought and given worse (non-racial) opinions of Obama pretty much daily since 2007. I remember my first opinion of "Hope and Change"...

"Cancer and gonorrhea are change..."

I see no problem with the same story being posted every few hours.

Neither do I.
We can't search for a thread we might have been interested in... without knowing it exists.

But even some dimbulb Admins are brain dead to that simple fact.

Any criticism of Our Glorious Leader is racist. Why else would anyone not love him?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Remember that the JACKASS is the symbol of the Democrat Party.

Never hear any criticism of that symbol but it does really reflect the true description of Democrats.

That driver is a piker compared to one in Leander, Texas. It belongs to a retired Marine and I see it almost every time I’m at the home improvement store there.

Tailgate, back bumper, tool box and back window are full of anti bummer stickers. I don’t know how the guy sees out his inside rearview mirror.

He has one that says:

“Disagree with me? I carry a .45, cause they don’t make a .46.”

Gee, no front page on the Houston mayor’s oppression of religion? Just some redneck’s truck, eh?

[Skooz]

I was in Tyler, Texas today.
Didn’t see the truck.
Too bad.

[terycarl]

maybe the banana represents the crescent islamic moon on their flag....maybe

Calling Obastard an ape or a monkey is an insult to apes and monkeys.

[Slings and Arrows]

Google “Tzeentch”. Change isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

[norwaypinesavage]

Since a high percentage of “Low Information Voters” can’t read, most would see this actual picture of Obama as put there by an Obama supporter.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Oh man. Someone is going to vandalize his truck.

For a breaking story that is posted five or six times in ten minutes, I can understand the moderators closing some of them to keep the comments focused in one place. But for a secondary story that can easily be missed if you aren't on-line at the time it is posted, there should be no problem with it being posted again.
