HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS!?

[blacksheep08]

DES MOINES, Iowa – A billboard created by an Iowa tea party group comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin has been removed.
Kent Beatty, the general manager of the company that owns the billboard, says a North Iowa Tea Party representative called Tuesday night and asked that the sign in downtown Mason City be removed.

Beatty says his company replaced the sign Wednesday morning with a public service announcement.

The original sign showed photographs of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin beneath the labels "Democrat Socialism," "National Socialism," and "Marxist Socialism."

Some tea party members criticized the sign, and North Iowa Tea Party co-founder Bob Johnson acknowledged the pictures overwhelmed the intended message of anti-socialism.

In theory, socialism would be ideal. However, the greed that Americans, and humans in general, now possess overrides what little compassion most of us still maintain.

I hope, for humanity's sake, we realize our selfishness.

Glad that ignorant billboard got taken down.

I remember at a Healthcare speech he gave a GMU earlier this year there were some FDR Democrats outside who had signs showing Obama with the Hitler mustache. People were raising hell over those posters...peaceful hell mind you, but hell nonetheless.

While the billboard was incredibly ignorant, the message it was attempting to portray isn't any less true.

Preying on the weak, fearful, and naive is an incredibly old practice. Their methods have changed, their purpose has not.

Fear ignorance, especially when it's so far from civilization signs like these start popping up.

Tea party has nothing to do with race, they're using it as an excuse to be racist. SMH
