A highway billboard depicting Senator Obama in an Arabic turban and accenting his middle name Hussein has been defended by a McCain supporter as free speech.Free speech my arse. It's racist. Simple as. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself...
The sign, located south of West Plains, Missouri says: "Barack 'Hussein' Obama equals more abortions, same sex marriages, taxes, gun regulations."  Free Speech? Fuck off. Obama's tax proposals call for a tax hike on the richest 5 percent, but tax cuts for all other workers. On the subject of gun control, the Illinois senator has voted against conceal carry weapons laws, voted to ban certain types of guns used for hunting and supported increasing federal taxes on ammunition, according to his congressional and state senate voting records. Throughout the presidential campaign, Obama has fought Internet rumors that he's Muslim. Hussein, an Arabic name commonly associated with the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, is Obama's middle name. His Kenyan father was Muslim, but Obama grew up in a Christian family." Either way, it's yet another fucking disgrace on top a whole heap of fucking disgraces. Time magazine tells of how a Virginia campaign organiser gave "30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points — for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden: "Both have friends that bombed the Pentagon," he said. "That is scary." It is also not exactly true — though that distorted reference to Obama's controversial association with William Ayers, a former 60s radical, was enough to get the volunteers stoked. "And he won't salute the flag," one woman added, repeating another myth about Obama. She was quickly topped by a man who called out, "We don't even know where Senator Obama was really born." Actually, we do; it's Hawaii." I don't care that McCain made some pathetic whimpering noises to his supporters about Obama being a "decent family man". He needs to put country-first miles between himself and these idiots. Free speech? You mean the knd of free speech that your grand-daddies won when they fought in world war 2? The free speech that was won for you by the democratic party? Fuck off. You don't deserve it.
