Yeh, just what about the Bush slandering? It is suddenly illegal to hate the president? Suddenly dissent is NOT the sincerest form of patriotism? I thot it WAS, just a few years ago...

Taping them to a postal mail box, federal offense.

Down at our mailbox's one of those "offensive" posters just so happen to show up among the fifty other yard sale and car sales posters. The mail hag took only the joker poster down.LOL!

The posters that were glued to the mail drop boxes were a crime of vandalism, so that is valid. The other posters that were on power poles are no more a crime than the typical signs for yard sales or lost dogs.

if they have to pay a fine there should be a fund raiser for them.

On a lesser note, there were 15 robberies, 10 murders, 25 cars stolen and 10 rapes committed while the police were busy
interviewing one suspect who is admitting to putting up the dozens of posters pasted around the city depicting President Obama as the Joker character from the Batman film The Dark Knight, city officials confirmed.

I guess they have to put the more important crimes first.

I think you mean the Tonton Macoutes, a Haitian paramilitary force created to keep Papa Doc Duvalier in power.

The term means "Uncle Gunnysack" and is the "bogeyman" in Haitian creole mythology.

In Obama's case, they would be gay thugs and called the "Tonton Ecru."

If the signs are on private property without the owner’s permission, there are victims.

"Uh oh, he'd best expect a visit from the White House equivalent of the Ton Ton Ecoute...and it aint gonna be pleasant!

"Ton Ton Ecoute!" LOL!! That's the most original past of the day! I love it.

For those of you young'uns, "Ton Ton Ecoute" is a play on words from "Ton Ton Macoute,"

From wiki, mostly:

The name Tonton Macoute (literally translates as "Uncle Gunnysack") originated from Haitian Creole mythology. It was the name of a bogeyman who walked the streets after dark, kidnapping children who stayed out too late and stowing them away in his gunnysack, never to be seen again. Those who spoke out against Haitian President Francois Duvalier ("PapaDoc") Duvalier would disappear in the night, and would never be seen again. Anyone who challenged the President's goons risked their own abduction, and so they were referred to as the "Tonton Macoutes."

And, for those of you French-challengered, “Ecoute” means “listen” or “listening”.

Your Uncle is listening (with the help of miss Linda Douglas on the the Domestic Spy unit at the White House).
