A Houston man was handcuffed and assaulted by cops for posting anti-Obama flyers around his town, actions described as “criminal vandalism” by police and some local residents, despite the fact that giant pro-Obama murals are openly displayed in the same neighborhood for all to see.

21-year-old Mark Fuhre, an Alex Jones Show listener, decided to post the flyers even though the Infowars Obama Joker Poster Contest had ended, because he wanted to alert his neighbors to the cult of personality being manufactured around Obama and how the establishment is stifling any criticism of the President by constantly invoking racism.

Fuhre believed that he had a first amendment right to express his opinion, just as those that spray painted giant Obama “HOPE” murals in the same neighborhood had done without opposition.

They will get him on posting bills on public property.

[Rodebrecht]

He should just paint a nice, thick Hitler-stache on the mural and replace "Hope" with "Heil"!

[rface]

maybe so - but it will be selective prosecution

And 0bama is a uniter my butt.

0bama is a jackass.<-—————— I could say more but the list on names we can call him is short.

Also, break a rib; sue police department.

So where’s the big criminal drag net on all those “criminals” posting “lost dog”, “Lose 20 pounds in a week for $10” or “Free firewood” signs? So where’s the hazards in these situations? Where’s the hundreds of criminals who did this and why isn’t there a major investigation finding these people??

Oh, maybe it’s because those signs didn’t insult their Marxist Commissar.

Yeah, freedom of speech—indeed.

[svcw]

No doubt, as it is always what left wing thugs do.

Then they should go after the guy also that painted the hopie changie thing on his very public wall. It could cause serious damage to conservatives who have to puke every time they see it!

ROFL!

There has got to be more to this story than is being reported. If he was posting the flyers on private or public property without the consent of the owners or the city then the guy broke the law and is wrong.
Also, are the pro-Obama murals painted on private property with the consent of the owners? If so, there isn’t a legal problem with the murals. Private property owners have the right to “discriminate” and allow only certain signs/murals posted on their property.
However, if the pro-obama murals were allowed to be done on public property, but the anti-obama flyers were not, then the guy should sue.
Unfortunately, I can’t judge without knowing more of this story.

Yeah, freedom of speech—indeed.

Freedom of approved speech...

[ConservativeMind]

Brietbart is a very conservative guy. You should read about his Twitter comments concerning Ted Kennedy’s death.

[rom]

Breitbart is a conservative. I believe he’s pals with Matt Drudge.

[Sudetenland]

Exactly right on all counts. We are not getting the full story.

What I do know is that posting bills like those on public property is expressly against the law in Houston. It is true that it is intermittently enforced, but the law is enforced on occasions.

It also sounds like he was not just taping the posters up, but using some sort of glue to post them so that they would be permanently attached...most people looking for their lost pets don't use glue to attach their signs.

Judgment reserved until further information becomes available.

[TLI]

He was met at his home by SEVEN cops.

I would like to see photos of that bunch...

[I see my hands]

You sound like a Liberal apologist. Who the hell cares if he broke the law? Support a patriot.

[Tzimisce]

Where’s the ACLU?

What do you mean they agree with the arrest?
