COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A Republican state senator from South Carolina is being criticized for a post on his blog that shows photos of Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden wearing similar clothing, along with a line that states the difference between the two is "a little B.S."
The image was posted on Sen. Kevin Bryant's blog on Friday without an explanation from the politician. It appears to be a photo of a T-shirt, with images of bin Laden and Obama wearing turbans and the words "OBAMA" AND "OSAMA," with the "B" and "S" each highlighted in red.
The American-Arab Anti-discrimination Committee has sent a letter to Bryant saying it is extremely disappointed that he posted the picture on his blog.
The committee is asking Bryant to publicly disassociate himself from the photo. Bryant is unapologetic.
So far, he has gotten 125 comments about the picture.
The chairwoman of the state Democratic Party called the posting a desperate attempt by Bryant to get attention for his re-election bid.
THEY BOTH HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE BOMBED THE PENTAGON.
Ouch! Very witty. Good one.
I have no regrets from this picture, however, I’m sure that a further examination of Obama’s foreign (and domestic) policies must occur in order that voters might truly understand the vast, vast differences between him and Sen. John McCain. I refuse to cower to the cultural police who evermore seek to censor our political discussion.
You may view the picture with this link if you wish to see what all the hubbub is all about.
I think I’ll send him a small donation.
