Anti-Obama Graffiti Found At Purdue

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue officials are investigating anti-Barack Obama graffiti found on the West Lafayette campus this week.

An obscenity and the president-elect's name were painted on a tree in an area near the Class of 1950 Lecture Hall, where black students often gather.

Other graffiti was found chalked on campus sidewalks and buildings.

In a letter to the campus, Purdue President France Cordova called the graffiti "deeply offensive."

"Such conduct is reprehensible and wholly out of character with Purdue's long tradition of fellowship and mutual respect," Cordova said in the letter.

Purdue police Lt. Fred Davis said officers are trying to determine if a crime was committed, since First Amendment rights were involved.

I am sure, however, that anti-Regan graffiti dating back to when he was Governor of California is preserved as historical artifacts.

Considering hate speech against Bush was protected under the first amendment, I wonder if that 1st amendment will be eliminated now?

They're trying.

From day one, they refered to him as Mr. Bush. This was to de-legitimize him as the President. That start at the 1st minute after he won the election in 2000.
I also will call Barack...Mr. Obama.

I just heard on the local radio that the students who did this were caught and brought up on grounds of Sedition. Obama was late to his press conference because he wanted to witness his new re-education system in action. It was excruciatingly painful for the students who are now Obama-bots ....

“I also will call Barack...Mr. Obama.”

I’ll just refer to him as 0 (Zero).

and I think I’d like a bumber sticker that reads, “O, not my president.”

What was written...?

“buck Ofama”?

What was wrong with that?
Forcyinoutloud, the leftists had bumper stickers on their cars about Bush that said the same thing!
Yet I don’t recall even ONE, not ONE, article about the matter.

Infidels...get ready...here it comes...free speach for me, but not for thee.
And I’m concerned it will probably get a lot worse before it gets better.

Purdue is a hotbed of Apathy. This is most likely a hoax.
