GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado (AFP) – A billboard depicting Barack Obama as an Islamist suicide bomber, a gay and a Mexican bandit has triggered a storm of criticism in a western US city weeks ahead of crucial polls.

The colourful poster of the US president -- under the ironic slogan "Vote DemocRAT" -- is attracting attention from media worldwide and from people clogging a local parking lot for a closer look.

This would be disrespectful of the commander-in-chief; however, it is not particularly disrespectful of the campaigner-in-chief.

It was only okay when Dubya was the target.

Grand Junction is a great American town.
Been there elk hunting.

Also, no worse than the depictions of GWB from 2000-2009 that Dems were conspicuously silent about.

I think it’s a role model for embracing diversity.

Barack Hussein Obama hired the Communist rat who created this sticker to design and post his campaign posters.

He can't play the "victim" card when the same tactics are used against him.

He is not the president. He is a tyrant. A usurper.

Never feel you have to respect a person who lies to you. Never feel you have to be honest with someone who lies to you.

Silence is acceptance. Not to mock this man, this tyrant, is to lend him legitimacy. The victim needn’t give the sanction to be a victim.

Chuck Pabst, the local Republican Party chairman, told the local paper the Grand Junction Sentinel that the billboard is in bad taste.

"It's reprehensible and disrespectful, and that's not what any honorable person would put forth," Pabst said. "To ridicule somebody in this manner is juvenile."

Please. That’s commie ops work. They start a distraction and make chaos... it’s what they do.

No one with a brain would think the average repub or conserv would do that.

...three cheers for the billboard company that had the guts to run with this!

I think it’s quite clever myself.

[library user]

Looks like it’s got some bb-holes shot thru it.

“an Islamist suicide bomber, a gay and a Mexican bandit...”

Well, they got 2 out of 3 right.
