This Is the Obama-Aurora Billboard Everyone's Talking About

By Connor Simpson | The Atlantic Wire ? 17 hrs ago

This Is the Obama-Aurora Billboard Everyone's Talking AboutThis billboard got a lot of media attention this weekend for its meme-style juxtaposition of President Obama and Aurora-shooter James Holmes. Styled like something you'd see on Reddit, the billboard features side-by-side pictures of the two men with the words "kills 12 in movie theater with assault rifle, everyone freaks out" over Holmes' picture, and "kills thousands with his foreign policy, wins nobel peace prize" over Obama's picture. Maurice Clements is the guy in charge the billboard. He's part of a group who honor the memory of Libertarian Ralph Smeed. He says the group is angry over Obama not bringing the troops home. "We?re all outraged over that killing in Aurora, Colo., but we?re not outraged over the boys killed in Afghanistan," Clements said. Locals think the billboard is "pathetic," and "abhorrant."

I always these kinds of comparisons (regardless of party affiliation).  If you want to attack someone's foreign policy, then talk about foreign policy - not some domestic nut job.

The billboard guy is out of his mind.

1.  The billboard doesn't even make sense.

2.  The LaRouchies have been comparing Obama to Hitler for 4 years now. 

3.  It's Idaho.  They should just be absorbed by Montana.

That is pathetic. It's worse than the pamphlet I was given during the local 4th of July parade. Which was this:

Political beliefs aside, it's in horrible taste and completely irrelevant.

And, yeah, it's too soon.

A fellow democrat is wanting impeachment? /headdesk

I get that party affiliation does not mean they agree on everything, but it sounds like he is wanting to throw the presidency under the bus to get conservative votes. Asskissser.

I just did a little light reading on the guy (we gave his brochures back to him at the parade) Apparently, he is a self declared "LaRouche Democrat" and thinks we are plotting against China and Russia. https://macombpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-wacky-11th-district-dem-candidate.html

Luckily, I'm not in his district.

That's fuckinggross.

don't read the comments.  I did the other day, and one commentor who was duking it out with another told her, "I can smell you unwashed dikes all the way from Seattle."

Honestly, there are so many political WTF's right now that I have no energy for this one.
