"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a police officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.
The officer's response?
"It ain't no more, OK?"
A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.
Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.
"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.
"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing."
Video of the exchange can be seen below:

“Whose side are you on? “
He’s on Obama’s side.
That is how history works, isnt it? So predictable yet unpredictable.
Thank you!
Not pointing fingers, but the writing style reminds me of some repeat zot offenders.. Never using capital letters was the first clue, 2nd clue—saying ‘cheeks’ was polite. Probably wanted to say “you don’t know what cheeks was feeling at the time”.
;-p
Red in Blue PA, Prole: like most liberal socialists, when someone does not agree with you to the letter, you resort to name calling and ridicule. nice... 3rd grade tactics are sooo scary..
red in blue; nitzy: perhaps things are different wherever you squat, but around here, towns have very strict rules regarding political signs at schools. none are allowed except in the case of the school being used as a polling place. at that time, the signs are allowed for 1 day and must be removed as soon as the polls close.
imahawk;3niner: capitalization is irrelevant and signifies nothing about the poster. like all liberal elitists, you presume someone is less than you based on your silly standards. i bet, in your liberal elitist fashion, you also make fun of farmers or mechanics because they have dirt on their shoes or calluses on their hands.
nitzy: liberal ignorance never upsets me, it just amuses me.
I have pretty strict rules myself. I have made the rule that you can't post here anymore. I think I have been very respectful in making my wishes known. Instead of going away like you were supposed to, you made a snide remark referring to me "squatting".
I think you are being pretty rude.
If you don't stop being rude and posting on this forum I will use force against you.
Good thing there is no video to prove this conversation took place.
bttt
“That man needs to be fired. Hes dangerous.”
The big question is how many LEO’s are there that believe the same as him?
Is it just me or did the guy with the sign sound a lot like John Ziegler?
You have successfully juxtaposed incompetent communication and specious reasoning, to illustrate my point.
