‘Anti-Obama’ Billboards Go Viral (And the rookie Hussein doesn't like being called a socialist)

‘Anti-Obama’ Billboards Go Viral
April 5, 2010 - 1:19 PM | by: Elizabeth Prann

If you have something to say – put it on a billboard. Atlanta commuters are noticing electronic billboards in metro Atlanta posting anti-Obama messages. The idea turns what is normally a staple of commercial advertising into a platform for political opinions - a bumper-sticker slogan aimed at a wider audience.

The signs include: ‘Stop Obama’s Socialism.”

“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention.”

“Now It’s Personal! America’s Coming for You Congress! Vote Liberals Out in 2010.”

“Stop the Lies.”

The billboard sponsors consists of about 12 local businessmen. They've created a Web site: billboardsagainstobama.com, where you can find four billboards messages to donate to.

Spokesperson Tommy Newberry says there has seen such an influx of interest, sponsors are creating 50 billboard designs for donators to pick from. He also says it won't take long before the billboards start popping up around the nation.

“We are now very well funded. We are getting about a donation a minute,” Newberry said.

Donations range from a few dollars to $500 dollars. Newberry also has had about a dozen requests for an entire billboard. An electronic billboards advertisement can cost up to $3,500 a month.

Newberry says the group's ultimate goal is to not only grab people's attention but also educate and motivate them.

“There’s a lot of energy from people who want to participate and they don’t know exactly what they want to do. We can speak for them, on their behalf,” Newberry said.

"When you still have 45%, or so, citizens that still think Obozo is a good POTUS, it is obvious that the citizenry has been dumbed down to moron level by the Marxist media and educational system."

45% is not 50%. It isn't over yet. I admit it doesn't look good. But Obama is far from a genius and will step on his unit one to many times. I just hope he doesn't do too much damage in the meantime.

The GOP is playing its tattered Obama is a closet socialist trump card again. The aim is to tar President Obama as a radical out to soak the rich, hamstring private business, and radically redistribute wealth downward to the poor.

Hmm, well this pantload has it exactly right about Ubanga. ...I just hope he's right that the GOP will pull no punches in making sure normal, working, taxpaying Americans get the message loud and clear.

A Marxist is insulted when you call him a socialist.

And "socialist" is simply a polite word for "communist".
Personally, I wish people weren't so polite when talking about this scumbag communist Ubanga.

I’m sure Michael Steele,or Romney will be sure to jump on that bandwagon.

We get the message loud and clear. Will the weak kneed Republican "leadership" get it. That's the only question here.

“If Obama were to become a major league pitcher, he would be the worst in history.... he would whine that its not fair that the batters keep advancing to the base on 4 balls, so Obama would demand that the rules be CHANGED so that he could appear as if he’s an All Star Pitcher. He would make the strike zone extend from the dirt to the top of the batter’s helmet, and when the ESPN clubhouse reporter asks him, “Do you really think its right to change the rules that have governed the game of baseball for over a century just to make it more ‘fair’ for the pitcher? You do realize, sir, that the pitcher is only one person playing in the game with 17 other players... right?” Obama would answer, “Now, look, I don’t think the fans come to the baseball rink to keep track of the ‘rules’. People come out here to see me, and to see other big leaguers. I understand that people like you sports reporters love to harp on the rules of the game, or the process by which the game is played, but I don’t think that is something the fans come to see. The fans want to come see me be as fair as possible and they come to watch everyone walk off the field a winner. No one even remembers who ‘wins’ the games....” ESPN reporter, “What do you have to say to those fans outside the park demanding that you restore the rules of the game and those who say that its the consistency of the rules that have made the game such an exestential part of Americana?” Obama, “Those are the same people who protested the idea of integrating the Negro League into the MLB. Those are voices of hate.” ESPN reporter, “Actually, sir, I see a group of diverse people out there and I believe that they are professing their LOVE for the game and that your rules change seems arbitrary and damaging.” Obama, “Like I said, they are racists. Trust me, if I say it, its true”

“But Obama is far from a genius”

Of course, but he has some bright puppet masters and a good teleprompter.
Whenever I read about how smart and what a bright guy 57 state Obambie is, I want to scream.

By the way, you do know that Ayers has admitted to writing
Obambie’s two books.

More to the truth, the liberals in Washington want to destroy and soak the middle class, or make the middle class extinct.

Is that the part where Unions got a special deal and only union members don't have to pay taxes on health insurance premiums?

Someone that really knows might explain it to me if my understanding is incorrect.

It wasn’t on this level, but I was up near the Massachusetts border in NY state several years ago, and there were several billboards about how Bush was killing American soldiers.

It was a real lib area, and full of natural types eating yogurt and growing organic, walking around in hippie clothes.

I remember thinking this is not a place I would ever move. And they sure wouldn’t want me. My Gadsden flag would probably send them into conniptions.

I completely detest places like that. Ever notice the class gap in those types of towns and cities is always huge too? Usually it's all poor and rich, very little middle class.
