NEW YORK (AP) ― The FDNY is investigating how a defaced image of President Barack Obama got on a toolbox inside a Bronx firehouse.

FDNY spokesman Jim Long told the Daily News Monday night that the matter was under investigation. He declined further comment.

The newspaper says the stenciled picture of the president with the word "believe" and then defaced with the word "hustler" in big red letters was discovered at Engine 45, Ladder 58 in East Tremont. Beneath the image, someone scrawled the words, "Allah Akbar," or "God is great" in black ink.

Only SOME animals get First Amendment rights. “All animals are created equal, some animals are more equal than others”.

I didn't see an obscenity

There is no obscenity...but the picture of his greatness and the word "Believe" shown together is about as close as you can get.

Is that the D.C. sniper on the other side?

You mean John Allen Muhammad? President Hussein's stunt double?

[WOBBLY BOB]

so is there something in the criminal code that prescribes a certain punishment for this egregious act?

You are truly a patriotic American if you like Sticky Fingers. I usually have at least two jars in the cupboard.

No! All the pics of Mr. Bush as Hitler, a monkey, etc., well that was just okey-dokey. Anything that shows Obammy as anything other than a Newsweek cover with a photoshopped halo is....RACIST!

I am so sick of the coddling of this bird brain because he happens to be half-black I think my head is about to explode. These idjits on the left sure didn’t have a problem making horrid jokes about Justice Thomas or Ms. Rice. Ugggggh. I think I’m going to do a poster of WunderBoy, make it particularly harsh and post it at the local grocery store. Ooooooh. Might hurt somebody’s widdle leftist feelings and make the tingle in their leg go away.

Ok. Thanks.

There is a poll there that doesn't need FReeping:

Poll Results

Was this simply a political statement, or a case of racism against the President?

Racism	4%
Politics	96%

A nice home in a gulag?

[DJ MacWoW]

LOL!!!

[AZ .44 MAG]

Only a racist would say it wasn’t racism.

/sarc

(was it racist to say that?)

[DJ MacWoW]

(was it racist to say that?)

I'm sure it was. And we should be ashamed. /s

the left is so infantile.

I have several. The “Carolina Sweet” is my favorite.

[presidio9]

How many Bush pix were defaced in offices and shops?

Oh wait... I think that's a real photo.

You know, that outfit reminds me of some of the toilet-paper wedding dresses made up at my bridal shower. No, seriously.

[Mrs. Frogjerk]

Apparently the NY Daily News caught it and it became an AP story.

These people are so hypocritical I could vomit! Don't tell me that G.W. wasn't mocked six ways to Sunday by union members, and libs in their places of work. No, nobody had a mug or poster laying around with anything extremely offensive about W. No, couldn't have happened.

This president and his ilk have the thinnest skin. They are responsible for saying some of the most heinous things about republicans, yet you throw anything negative their way and they cry like the little wussies they are!

And I agree with the artist by the way. Obama is a damned hustler!

[Republic]

But....... ..........you are NOT allowed to proclaim the truth in a liberal envirment because the word LIBERAL really means, as everybody knows, COMMUNIST.

So yeah..it IS about thin skin but it is also about restricting freedoms when it comes to calling out their idiocy. (Liberals are always whiney, metro-sexuals who believe a sharp looking six pack in the ab dept means there is a brain attached.) hee heep

They hope they never have to perform, and want everyone to buy into the STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE thingie. Ya know-like uhbama and the roman columns before the elections! LOL!!!! Be still my heart! Uhbama is a PRO at this one. Big time.

[Mrs. Frogjerk]

Your right! Never dare question the commies! And I see what your saying about their fixation with looks. After all he is a nice clean black man(as per Biden).

Their mindset sickens me. "What gives you the right to question me". The Board of Ed is playing political games by firing and shuffling principles around in my town, and the parents have been protesting it. A parent called up the local TV station and was asked “what right do you have to question the board of ed?”. I don't know, the fact that we elect them and foot the bill for every stupid program they come up with gives us that right you jack ass! The dims, the media, and libs in general all have that commie mindset of “you don't question the government(unless they are Repubs)”. Probably because they are commies.

Well, to hell with that!

And double back at cha and a YOU BETCHA, Mrs Frogjerk---:^)

I must add that as sad as I will be if the good General leaves his post after being horse whipped (oh puleeeZe) by uhbama, I will forever LOVE and I mean L O V E that the good General called an uhbama advisor a clown. I mean...I LOVE IT!

It makes me smile every time I think of it and as for his comment on Biden (bite me) lol, well, this has been a LONG TIME COMING, I am sure. And I would bet that uhbama the doonhead is truly pissed. That makes me so very, very happy!!)
