You know how these idiots think. She will blame it on Bush, etc.

So the problem is not that there is a strip club in the neighborhood, but that their führer is being depicted as the clown he is?

[nikos1121]

It’s in bad taste. Just like the ones they hung up on Palin.

And the NAACP has been screaming about it. From this morning's Pilot:

NAACP plans protest of Obama mural in Richmond

Some of the comments following the article get a bit testy. LOL!!!

“.....she was left speechless and that the image is disrespectful to a man who has made history.”

Au contraire......HE didn’t make history, the dummies who voted for him made history.

But I’m hoping he is about to make history by being removed from the White House.

Attention Whores, all.

All they wanted was to get into the news, and perhaps wave to mom on TV...they're all attention whores...including the Kenyan.

[Apercu]

Is that the new “Bling” Czar?

[LibLieSlayer]

Anyone that says this is racist is a racist.

Is that the new “Bling” Czar?

If you click on the pic you'll see some real winners on that site, which apparently is aiming to encourage "moderation" in bling.

Thirteen year old Jamilia Cunningham should learn that others also enjoy freedom of expression, just as others did in freely hanging posters depicting Bush in several nefarious manners.

Every president “makes history,” there is nothing special about Obama, other than he is destined to bypass Jimmy Carter as the worst in history.

And how many of those NAACP protesters that are PATRONS of that club. The owner should take pictures of all of them, then send a letter to each patron he finds, "You really don't want to do this do you?"

HEHE

So, let’s see. This poster of Chairman Numb-Nuts is offensive and unpatriotic, but for eight years, up until January 20, 2009, all of this was just fine:

Oh, I forgot. Dissent USED TO BE the highest form of patriotism.

I see no problem with the Joker poster for the poser he has done nothing and is a nobody.

[Corin Stormhands]

I still think it's a shame they pained over the Diana mural.

"I wanted to be the first African American President and I am happy that I didn't have to wait that long to get one," said Cunningham.

When you support someone for President because he is black you naturally assume that anyone who opposes him must be similarly racist.

The technical term for it is "psychological projection."

[tenthirteen]

I may have missed that class, so perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you think Andrew Jackon is/was African American.

[Gabz]

Wouldn’t THAT be just DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

[Moose4]

Where was the Diana mural? Somehow I managed to miss that one when I was living in Richmond (1993-1997 and 2004-05).

Ms. Cunningham, your infatuation with Mr. Obama is naive”

13 years old and probably thinks Kanye West is a wonderful person, also !!
