Man berating Barack at high-traffic spot
Daily News ^ | 3/5/2009 | Wendy Victora

Larry Ford said signs will stay up on his property until Obama is out of office March 5, 2009 - 1:26 PM Wendy Victora Daily News

FORT WALTON BEACH - A man who flies a Confederate flag on property he owns on Beal Parkway added two large signs Wednesday to express his feelings about President Barack Obama.

"January 20, 2009, A Day of Darkness, Hussen (sic)" is written on both signs, which are each about the size of a dinner table.

Before the second sign was even in the ground, someone had called the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office to ask a deputy to take a look to make sure the first sign would not "incite something."

Property owner Larry Ford said he put up the signs to share his opinion of Obama, who he refers to as "Hussein."

"We've got a man who shouldn't even be president," Ford said when reached by phone Thursday. "He's an insult to the decent, hard-working people that made this country what it is."

By Thursday night, Ford was featured on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann as the worst person in the world.

Ford said the feedback he'd gotten in the first 24 hours was positive, but he realized there would be those who disagreed with him.

An active-duty military woman who wrote to the Daily News agreeing that the property owner had a constitutional right to express his opinion, but said she was upset that the president's middle name is misspelled.

When that was pointed out to Ford, he wasn't concerned.

"I think everybody knows who I'm talking about, don't you?" he said. "American people are the stupidest people in the world, but something like that I think they can figure out."

Local Democrat Judy Byrne Riley hadn't seen the signs but laughed when she heard about them.

"(Obama) won, get used to it," is the message she said she would send to Ford. "He is your president too, whether you agree with it or not.

"He won fair and square, unlike the election in 2000, when (George W.) Bush didn't win fair and square. And we put up with him for many, many years."

Ford said he will leave the signs up "until we get rid" of Obama.

"He won fair and square, unlike the election in 2000, when due to our failure to manufacture enough phony votes in key precincts, (George W.) Bush didn't win fair and square. And we put up with him for many, many years."

Comment corrected.

"fair and square"

I wish to contradict Ms. Riley. Obama won legally, but he didn't win "fair and square." Not if fair and square means having the combined weight of Big Media behind covering for him and omitting his past. Big Media gives every Dem a ten to fifteen point advantage over their opponents.

While I do generally oppose inbred idiocy (as well as most other kinds) - you seem a touch new to be making such demands here. Heck, I’d be too new too.

Our poor nation.

The President is a marxist crypto-muslim.

By the way, what CHRISTIAN CHURCH did the THIEF IN CHIEF attend last Sunday?

I mean, as a Kenyan crook we all knew he was going to steal everything in sight once he got to the White House but 2 TRILLION DOLLARS?.

This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode.

Fortunately the sheriff’s office here has more to worry about, what with the sheriff being arrested this week for embezzling.

I guess I didn't mention Florida's political culture before you moved here. Was he an old line Florida cracker Dem, or a newfangled GOP crook?

“A man who flies a Confederate flag on his property”. First line. Average reader says “obviously another KKK bigot against the black President, anger fanned by Rush Limbaugh”. That’s what the media wants.

but said she was upset that the president's middle name is misspelled.

...and we were dismayed that the current President of these United States thought we had 57 states

...and that the idiot who claims to be able to "fix" our economy thinks that P/E stands for profit-to-earnings ratio, not PRICE-to-earnings ratio.
