This is just dumb and inciteful. What they should focus on is on how a potential president is racist!

Racist slurs were spray-painted across a large Barack Obama presidential campaign billboard alongside a heavily trafficked stretch of US-23 in Pittsfield Township sometime overnight Tuesday.
And the U.S. Secret Service is investigating what now appears to be two threatening letters against Obama that were received in Livingston County, according to news reports.
Michigan State Police were on the scene of the billboard Wednesday morning, and have called in for tracking dogs, police said.
Black spray paint was used to draw three swastikas, symbols of Klan hoods and to write "KKK," "Rebel" and two racial slurs.
The billboard, roughly 10 feet tall by 50 feet wide, is located where Textile Road deadends near US-23, east of Carpenter Road.

It's not clear how many similar incidents have happened nationwide. Mark Potok, executive director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based organization that tracks hate crimes, said he's aware of only one other incident in Virginia - and that appeared to involve a regular campaign sign rather than a billboard. In that case, "KKK" was painted on the sign.

Exactly, you beat me to it. I think Obama sent that stuff to himself.... and hired someone to trash the billboard
Probably done by the obama campaign so they can cry racism!
>>What’s the term the 9-11 “Truthers” are so fond of? Oh yea, “False Flag?”<<
What’s that?
I’ve watched “Screw Loose Change” but that’s about as far as I have gone into that looney movement.
How does this help Obama?
The only way Obama can win is to convince White Voters that he is not black.
Every time a National Story comes out about race, Obama loses.
For every KKK Michigan rebel, there is Wright and Farrakhan.
The work of “community organizers” no doubt.
Exactly. Obama’s only hope of winning is to get a certain percentage of White Males and Women to feel guilty enough to vote for him because of race.
The only problem with this is that he is also a Muslim.
My first thought. It would be an attempt to garner sympathy from the hand wringers.

Where’s the sarcasm alert?
All the politicians are white? Like Kwame “The Commie” Kilpatrick? And his successor Son of a Communist Ken Cockrel, Jr.?
As a Michigan grad (during those “fun-filled” sixties), I keep remembering when I see this sort of garbage where the SDS (from which came the Weather Underground) got its start.
My comment was directed to the person mentioning Henry Hyde, aka Bobbie Byrd.
Can’t wait to hear the lib media reporting this.. McCain and Palin where seen in the area!
This racial thing is all they got left!
Notice the cute little Klan hats in the corner...my $ is on a pimply faced 14 yr old, driven to this bold act by his only 2 friends in the world. And all 3 drunk as proverbial skunks
You mean Kwamie the Kommie Kilpatrick don't you? (KKK). (Lots of smiles, sarcasm tags, etc.)
Ding-ding-ding we have the winner!

Obama’s campaign is gearing up for “racial riots” when he loses the Presidential race. They’ll just point to bill boards like this to make their case that the U.S. of A is still a racist country.
Yes it does, until 9 times out of 10 lately it is found out it is some lefty dem trying to get attention for his cause or just attention.
Obvious tactic of Obama’s Goon Squad. Then they can scream “Racism!”
