Billboards of Hate
The American Thinker ^ | May 07, 2009 | Janet Levy

Posted on 05/07/2009 2:54:53 AM PDT by Scanian

On April 21, Cindy Sheehan -- known for camping outside President Bush's ranch in 2005 to protest her son's military death in Iraq -- joined representatives from the Coalition to Stop $30 Billion to Israel. Sheehan and representatives of the 12 organizations that make up the Coalition dedicated 10 billboards in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which call for ending American military aid to Israel.

The billboard message, "Tell Congress: Stop Killing Children, No More Military Aid to Israel," refers to a U.S. pledge to aid Israel over a ten-year period. The billboard features a picture of an Israeli tank juxtaposed with an innocent-looking headdress-cloaked Muslim Palestinian girl.

Last week, after fielding hundreds of complaints about the billboard ads, Lamar Advertising, which owns the billboard space, covered or removed the ads. A company spokesman denied knowledge of the billboard content; yet, news reports stated that a Lamar graphic designer suggested the images subsequently used.

The billboard creator, the Coalition to Stop $30 Billion to Israel, was founded by two Jews, Lori Rudolph and Rich Forer. It reports its mission as working "to inform the public and our elected officials how the Israeli military misuses American-made weapons technology and violates human rights." It also endeavors to report on the support provided to the Israeli defense establishment by the New Mexico state government, contractors and universities. In addition, the Coalition seeks to inform the public about the ongoing "illegal" occupation of "Palestinian Territories" by Israel which contributes "to unceasing conflict and suffering."

Somewhere in Hell, Hitler is smiling.

I could easily see "Jews" like Rudolph and Forer going along with the second holocaust that the a-rabs and Iranians want so badly to happen.

That thing’s still around? I thought it disappeared after snuggling up to Hugo Chavez a couple years ago.

I think they are just evil. See my new tagline.

I've concluded that very few people are truly stupid. I don't believe the liberals who now have power got to that point because they are stupid. Rather, the opposite is indeed the case. We must not misunderestimate our enemies by thinking they are stupid. Instead, we must realize that these people are truly evil, and deal with them from that angle.

I think I share a different set of assumptions than liberals. I think they are wrong. That does not mean that I think they aren’t clever. Hitler was clever, as was Saddam or Imanutjob. Not half as clever they fancied themselves. Bill Clinton was clever but shallow and intellectually lazy.

Cindy Sheehan, imho, is not very clever, she is a shallow attention whore. She found people who were willing to give her attention and publicity in return for embracing stands they favored. Having become a celebrity “activist” she adopts whatever positions will keep her in the limelight. In her pursuit of attention she is aided and abetted by a compliant media that find in her a pretext to espouse their favored views.

I am not Jewish, but I find antisemites tend to be shallow and bitter. And the hate Israel crowd are antisemites, no doubt about it.

What does this woman know about Israel? It is so obvious they put the dumbest people to speak their message.

I’m sure someone here will say that we should not give aid to Israel. Well unless that person is consistant with other countries, they better not try to hide behind anti-antisemitism.

Typical propaganda from the New Leftists.

They are evil and they have evil intentions at their core.

Maybe if they wouldn’t use women and children as human shields and not fight from populated housing areas, maybe, just maybe the killing of women and children would decrease.

Good evening. Isn't that a pro-life billboard? Maybe Congress will now act to restrict abortion? How can that be hateful?
