“Billboards Against Obama” Born in Atlanta – Nationwide Next?
Centristnet ^ | April 2, 2010 | Centristnet

A mysterious new entity opposed to the big government agenda of the Obama Administration emerged recently, posting several large billboards on Atlanta’s main highways speaking out against the Administration. This dynamic new form of political speech, born in Atlanta, GA, may set off a new wave of political activism on both the right and left as others follow suit. The new entity, Billboards against Obama, apparently is not in tune with Obama’s call today for Americans to tone down opposition to his policies. Local Atlanta NBC affiliate 11Alive reports: One group is taking freedom of speech and freedom of expression to the limits in a series of Metro Atlanta highway billboards voicing strong opinions against President Barack Obama.

The billboards are the latest move to sway public opinion — and for a price you can have your say.

Of course, to our new National Socialists, this is not free speech, it is tyranny!

Because he tells us we're not to speak, we are to just keep quiet?

Who does he think he is?

/rhetorical and stupid question

So far, the nameless head of the group says their Web site has received more than 1,800 hits and that contributions that go toward paying for the billboards.

There is no indication that any one person is paying for any one display.

The group does say it’s getting some negative feedback on the Web site, but the site says the amount of money being raised to expand the program.

So far on the Web site, there are three anti-Obama messages to choose from, and contributors are given the option to create more.

From my time here, only in 2005 did we have this happen. 3 consecutive days of a posting of gay bathtub stuff that the Mod missed. We as posters can slow them down. And we did.

Obama is the least of our problem.

It is the other communist who never leave like Pelosi/Reid who have to go.

So does the honnorable Mr.Johnson,I think he is at the end of his life.

Obama had one black parent, and one white. Part of me wonders, if he would have been such an angry man, if he’d just turned out white. Would have cared at all about the “dreams from his father”? Would he even have told anyone his dad was an african kenyan? I dont think so. I really dont. Pops would have gone under the bus just as quick as ever, and he wouldnt have been so angry at what could have been.

I say that the REAL problem is the 45 percent of the population that are obviously now neo-Marxist and think their Obammie messiah is just peachy.

I was born one of those annoying, contentious people who, when told *not* to do something, it instantly became paramount that I *do* said thing....even if it was something I really didn’t *want* to do, any way.

[pity my parents...I reckon I was a...um...”challenge” to raise]

Luckily, they never figured out the whole “reverse psychology” thing or they’d have gotten a lot more chores out of me simply by forbidding me to do them.

[therefore, telling me to “shut up” is infinitely unwise if silence is what one truly seeks]

And then, I married somebody exactly like me.
All I have to do to get something done is casually suggest what I’d like done but add a disclaimer such as “Oh, it’s probably too hard/too much trouble/not in your area of expertise for you to do any way.”

Within hours, it’s done.

I’m evil.

:)

Or black. I don't think it's his color that made him into what he is today.

I think it was and is all the people around him.
Just imagine if you'd been raised by an atheist, a Muslim, and a communist and schooled by the same type people.
Just imagine also that you'd been coddled and praised to the point that any criticism no matter how slight would feel like a personal attack.

Now just throw in a billionaire financier, a radical anti-American terrorist as an adviser, a black racist preacher/mentor and a yeti for a wife and it all adds up to 0.

You just couldn't make it all the way through that post without speaking ill of Yetis, could you?
