"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health -care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a security 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?"
Get the prescription for reclaiming America's heritage of liberty – before the what the officer said is true – Joseph Farah's "Taking America Back," autographed only at the WND SuperStore.
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:

I mean, hypothetically, if one wanted to print out a few to post around his or her ‘berg...
Hypothetically...

The officer's response?
"It ain't no more, OK?"
TIME TO SUE. WE NEED TO GET A REAL 1st Amendment lawyer and SUE THE PANTS OFF THE IDIOT...
later view.
One morning last week we woke in our neck of the woods to over fifty of those pesky little joker faces plastered up and down a main parkway. They were ripped down in two days but sure was fun to see. At the teabag rally this weekend they were selling t-shirts with the little guy on them.
Let me guess the race of the Police Officer.
Need to use the Good Glue next time.
[Let me guess the race of the Police Officer.]
Correct.
Where is the ACLU?
Next, try to guess his IQ! Probably similar to Zero’s.

Wow, is this thing a real American. The crap is coming. Whoops, it's here.
Sorry - it’s not for the cop to decide... Most cops are union members - and vote for dems. It’s not his place to make calls on the political content of posters...
You are kidding right. Sarcasm? So it’s up to the authorities to decide what political expression is acceptable and which are “below the belt”?! “Personally insulting”? Big deal. “Say absolutely nothing”? It was found to be offensive because it did say something.
So you think this is a cop’s job? WOW!!!
Not a big fan of the Constitution, I see. Nice. Not.
