Obama Bans Signs and Posters at Berlin Rally
Monday, July 21, 2008

Posted on 07/21/2008 2:31:32 PM PDT by kristinn

The Real Barack Obama reports on the Obama campaign's plans to control the image of his Berlin rally:

“Looks like the Germans figured out why Obama won’t allow anyone to bring anything into his big show,” Beethovenqueen writes.

The Bild headline reads “Barack Obama bans protest signs in Berlin.”

The article then goes on to say:

Obamas Organisatoren wollen nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Auf Handzetteln, die seit Montag für die Rede im Berliner Bezirk Tiergarten ausgeteilt werden, heißt es: „Plakate oder Transparente sind nicht gestattet.“

Aus Sicherheitsgründen sollen die Besucher auch keine Taschen und Rucksäcke mitnehmen dürfen.

Translation:

Obama’s organization is leaving nothing to chance. As of Monday flyers are being passed out near Berlin’s Zoo that read “Posters & banners not allowed.” For security reasons visitors should not take purses or backpacks.

The latter will put off Germans. How are people supposed to stand out there for hours with no water and no worldly possessions? Or is someone making a killing on selling Kool Aid? Anyway, the headline is a hopeful sign that at least some of the German press see through Obama’s “security demands”.

Update #1: Sen. Obama’s website clearly states: “For security reasons, do not bring bags. Please limit personal belongings. No signs or banners permitted.”

Note that the location posted on Sen. Obama’s website is stated as the Berlin Tiergarten (the zoo), with the Siegessaulle (Victory Column) in finer print. One thing we can count on is the Obama campaign’s willingness to distract and distort reality.

Other German newspapers—Zeit Online, Berliner Zeitung—back up the Bild’s story. Word came from the Obama campaign.

Update #2: Both Wonkette and Ben Smith at The Politico got the memo.

Update #3: Aaron Klein at World Net Daily picked up Beethovenqueen’s post. You can read about it, with link back, here.

It's like I'ver started telling people, Obama is a newspaper.

'Cause he's "black *and* white..."
...and RED all over!

Cheers!

That isn’t an odd photo in the digital camera world, what is very ODD is that a wire service would actually put that image on the wires.
