"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:

In the case of the n word, I’m afraid it is, I don’t think it should be.
For my posters I'm taking the Reagan approach. I know the conservatives in America are against Obamacare, and out of control spending in Washington. I don't have to convince them. Its the 50% of Democrat voters who are not hard-core leftist, but just uninformed people. Good people that get all there education about whats going on in the world from 30 minutes of evening news.
My poster slogans go out to them. Such as;
I Am Not Your ATM
You Cant Multiply Wealth by Dividing It
Obamacare needs end of life counseling!
And taking a page out of Reagan vs Carter, here is my favorite slogan:
Are You Better Off Than You Were
4 Trillion Dollars Ago?
That being said, The security guard (not a Police Officer) went way over the line by giving his political commentary saying its not American no more, and with him saying the law is what he makes it. His office deserves to get angry calls.
Why are you changing the subject? The 'n' word isn't on the poster.
The time to argue with the cop, is in court, not on the street. He’s trained in the law, authorized and paid to apply it.
So if a cop told you to drop your pants so he could sodomize you, you would comply first, then take it to court?
Not changing the subject at all. If the n word were on the sign, then in our PC world, seeing it was between black and black, it would be okay. But this was done in mixed company.
There was no ‘n’ word period. Your straw man fails.
The protester with the sign complied, after questioning the rent-a-cop's reasons. And now we are dealing with the cop's abuse of authority after the fact, in the court of public opinion.
BTW, I have 'dropped my pants' at the airport a few times. And it seems I'm always taking off my shoes.
No such thing. More apply called a mob.
I have seen some posters that they must have used that system come to think of it Elmers glue was milk based in the old days thanks for the tip anything for the cause.
Absolutely and I am sure this will NOT go away
ROFLMAO

He may have been trained in the law, although after seeing the video I question that part of your statement, but he isn't supposed to create it.
You mean "more aptly". In any event, where a public employee has violated proper behavior, it is a long-standing procedure to use public pressure upon the elected officials that he ultimately reports to, to ensure that the problem is addressed.
Why hasn’t this protester gone to the FBI and filed a federal charge of violating his civil rights under color of law?
When I first saw that cartoon I was disgusted, It throws us off message. Now a cartoon with Obama, in Kenyan dress, squatting an a globe would make more sense to me. That message would be he's manipulating to dominate and socialize the world under his questionable cultural background.
The 'joker' just doesn't do it for me. It attacks his character rather than his intentions.
You're in a minority opinion. The ObamaJoker meme is a hit, and by the reaction of Obama's minions, it strikes a nerve with them, which means it's effective. And I don't find it disgusting -- it portrays Obama as a psychopath bent on power.
What's illegal about character attacks? You may not like it; It may not be classy; But the first amendment protects that guy's right to do it. The supreme court has even affirmed the right to attack the character of a public figure.
