Welcome to the USSA!

Where were the cops when Palin was hanged in effigy?   September 17th, 2009 - 1:48 pm

Where were the cops when Sarah Palin was hanged in effigy during the campaign? Where were the cops when Bush was depicted as the Joker in a major magazine? Where were the cops when Bushitler was posted all over town?

Silence.

Wonderful.

Is there more to the story or did the democrats remove freedom of speech for everyone when they removed it for the house floor?

Irondog   September 17th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

Where’s the ACLU?

LB   September 17th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

Seven officers for criminal mischief? Right, nothing strange about that.

Steven   September 17th, 2009 - 2:00 pm

This kid is obviously ‘wrong-headed’… just like Bush!

Right, Obama?

American Dude   September 17th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

Investigate the cops!
yea right, like thats going to happen, to much like right.
You can have any opinion you want, as long as it’s there’s.

Law ?   September 17th, 2009 - 2:02 pm

Looks like a great law suit !
Get a good lawer and get rich .

Eddie   September 17th, 2009 - 2:06 pm

Before Obamaland, this kid could probably own Texas in a lawsuit. Nowadays, the ObamaGestapo won’t let it happen. What was it the cop said in a Breitbart video a few weeks back? This is America isn’t it? “NOT ANY MORE”

Danny   September 17th, 2009 - 2:07 pm

If they were anti bush posters we would never hear a word about it from these people.

Guy Fawkes   September 17th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

This

well

It’s not Amerikkka no more. Didn’t you all get the memo? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIKPKjl0-pg

ht7910   September 17th, 2009 - 2:10 pm

Too bad he didn’t have a dog waiting outside that the cops could have shot as well.

Jack Kennedy   September 17th, 2009 - 2:10 pm

obviously, this young America is a ………. a …………….. a ……………. RACIST !!!!!!!!!!!

Donna   September 17th, 2009 - 2:21 pm

I don’t know much about this incident but it’s obvious that the cops acted stupidly.

pendit1   September 17th, 2009 - 2:21 pm

Uh-oh I better watch out where I wear my T shirts with the Obama poster on it. The poster is neat….and I love my shirts!

Bunny   September 17th, 2009 - 2:23 pm

What is wrong with our country when you cant even voice your opinion.This young man had the right to voice his opinion. Liberals are becoming more vicious as time goes on, it must mean they are losing and getting mad. Even during the 912 protest there were “no” arrests for agressive behavior and there were 100`s of thousands there.Do you think they got mad because it upstaged obamas inagrunal speech. This is not right, no problems until the lefties or cops got involved.It needs to be stopped.

Typical   September 17th, 2009 - 2:23 pm

Sue kid! SUE! Hit em where it hurts!

And I agree with what Irondog posted “Where’s the ACLU?”

Donna   September 17th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

Let’s just get them all together for a beer. I’m sure they can work things out.

alan   September 17th, 2009 - 2:31 pm

You’re white, get over it!

spock   September 17th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

A not so soft tyranny.

notinmycountry   September 17th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

No doubt ol’ charlie will report on this national disaster. Hey lady, get a life, maybe somewhere down around Cuba!!!!!!!!

Diane   September 17th, 2009 - 2:41 pm

Let’s not go off the deep end here, folks. If the signs were being posted where they covered up traffic signs, then “criminal mischief” is exactly what they were committing, regardless of the content of the sign. If the kid was “slammed” against a police car for no reason, then the policeman involved should be disciplined. Seven police officers for a relatively minor offense sounds like an awful lot. No questions there. I’d like to hear the police’s side of things before making a decision, though. Just like the whole Gates incident in Massachusetts, you need to know the full story before judging.

bubba   September 17th, 2009 - 2:43 pm

Yeah entire black reporting team and a man in the field standing in front of a GIANT Obama sign in an obviously entirely black section of town couldnt possibly be slanted in their reporting. Just like the 95% of black voters who voted for Obama based upon his race.

Mike   September 17th, 2009 - 2:44 pm

Scary.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that YouTube is slow as molasses these days. I’ve pretty much given up trying to watch any video clips with a YouTube logo on them.

alan   September 17th, 2009 - 2:45 pm

If all the white people would please stand up and say “I” to being racist, maybe just maybe we can then speak to the real issues. The hollowing out of America, Mr Obama style.

bubba   September 17th, 2009 - 2:50 pm

Maybe if people quit trying to define racism as “any time black people are picked on” we might get somewhere. Just like the saying “it aint braggin if you can back it up “I say “it aint racism if its true”. It seems to me that some folks in this country are doing everything in their power to race bait everything in the news.

Commieobamie   September 17th, 2009 - 2:56 pm

What about those giant graffiti posters all over that yellow wall? Why arn’t those perpetrators being sought out and arrested? BIAS COPS!

Derrylane   September 17th, 2009 - 2:58 pm

Im so over the racist thing. Can we talk about more important things, like our security and the economy in this country? Im sick of the Democrats paying the race card crap.Obama payed this with Clinton in his campaign. Every time the Democrats are losing issues they play this game.

jak   September 17th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Fascist Pigs!!!

We don't need no stinkin' facts befroe we shoot off our mouths!   September 17th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Diane,
You want more facts before you can make a judgement? What? Are you nuts? This is a Breitbart site.

Larse   September 17th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Texans know how to take care of traitors.

milkman   September 17th, 2009 - 3:10 pm

notice this came from Alex Jones’s infowars.com the same site that says 9/11 was a inside job

Has He Done Anything Stupid Today   September 17th, 2009 - 3:10 pm

Safety reasons, what’s that all about.

I guess people get so pee’d off when they see a picture of Obama they start driving off the road.

joymc   September 17th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

If this occurred in Sunnyside or acres homes I would believe his cry of racism a tad bit more. Kingwood is a red state dude. Liberty is one thing. Defacing public property is another. Get a clue.

RobbieK   September 17th, 2009 - 3:20 pm

Hmm, can you say LAWSUIT? Looks like this young kid is going to retire early!

YOU LIE BOY!!!   September 17th, 2009 - 3:27 pm

Just like the 95% of black voters who voted for Obama based upon his race.

95 percent of Blacks voted for Bill Clinton.92 percent voted for John Kerry.Which part did they vote for, the white part of him or the black part?

2/3 of Hispanics voted for Obama.I don’t know but I don’t think Obama is part Hispanic.

switalla   September 17th, 2009 - 3:46 pm

Ah, Obama supporters can hang their trash up anywhere. Let a White man do it, and it’s suddenly offensive. Anyone want to bet that the cop doing the slamming, on private property, was Black?

Chris   September 17th, 2009 - 4:07 pm

I guess this must be the kind of violence Pelosi was crying about…

Every one's gone nuts!!!   September 17th, 2009 - 4:16 pm

You can criticize and joke all day long about Bush in free speech. But, oh my God, do not say anything against our savior, Fuhrer Obama.

BIRTHER NATION   September 17th, 2009 - 4:51 pm

Camille Paglia, the Salon.com columnist, was recently heard on NPR stating:

“First of all, I reject the idea that the “birther” campaign is motivated by racism. There may be racism among it, but there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama’s birth certificate. I’m sorry, I’ve been following this closely from the start. To assume that all those signs about the birth controversy were motivated by racism, that is simply wrong.”

Der Furher Obama Rules, SO SHUT UP!   September 17th, 2009 - 5:07 pm

What about Bush-Hitler POSTERS ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE POSTED BY LEFTIST COLLEGE STUDENTS? HMMMMMM?

irishkay   September 17th, 2009 - 5:09 pm

So, it’s graffiti, vandalism,……… so does that mean during the elections, EVERYBODY was guilty of it? Or is free speech only free during the elections of fascists, socialists, and communists. I’m guessing if that guy put up posters that looked like the socialist poster strategically appearing behind the black reporter, (that Obama had an ‘artist’ make),,,,,, that would have been fine! Go figure……..
Where can I get me 3ft. x 3ft. signs, I’ll need about 1,000 of them……..right now!

WOW   September 17th, 2009 - 5:14 pm

I think those police officers were all wee wee’d up….don’t they have some illegals to apprehend?

Laffing   September 17th, 2009 - 5:41 pm

Irondog September 17th, 2009 – 1:57 pm
Where’s the ACLU?
That’s exactly what I was going to say?
How many of the cops were white?

StarveTheBeast   September 17th, 2009 - 6:22 pm

yea he’d better fight that in court.. civil court with a nice lawsuit against the arresting officers

Ringo the Gringo   September 17th, 2009 - 6:59 pm

I don’t like Barack Obama, but I also don’t want someone taping political posters to telephone poles around my neighborhood, regardless of their political affiliation.

And, BTW, Infowars.com is the website of the conspiracy nutball and 9/11 truther Alex Jones….So I really don’t have any sympathy for this guy.

If I saw him putting that poster on the light pole in front of my house I’d turn the garden hose on him.

just peeved   September 17th, 2009 - 7:12 pm

Remember when this was a free country,

JP   September 17th, 2009 - 7:43 pm

No suprise white middle class woman! They got us in to this mess.
Ask them what they like about this oink we got for a prez and they sound like jerks.

Observantminority   September 17th, 2009 - 7:54 pm

Stop arguing with the cops and learn to follow directions. Didn’t you learn anything from Officer Crow in the Gates incident?

JimBo   September 17th, 2009 - 8:09 pm

Has ANYONE ever seen a cop ticketing someone for putting up yard sale signs up? Anyone… anyone at all?

So then it’s NOT the sign it self it’s the message the sign conveys.

Go figure.

Larse (The Real One)   September 17th, 2009 - 8:37 pm

If you shot water on someone you can be charge with battery. So go ahead.

Ringo the Gringo   September 17th, 2009 - 9:04 pm

JimBo,

Where I live if you fail to remove a yard sale sign after the weekend the police will photograph it and send you a ticket for littering. Of course, most people have now learned not to put their street address on the sign, just the street name.

zak   September 17th, 2009 - 9:10 pm

Just another example of how our liberties are slowly being taken away.

Toch   September 17th, 2009 - 9:27 pm

The police are defending our right to be censored! That is sad, most police officers are very moral and righteous.

“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” – from the U.S. military officer oath

200,000,000 guns owned by American Citizens killed no one yesterday. That’s amazing for a bunch of Nazi’s!

John Marker   September 17th, 2009 - 9:47 pm

Hey BoBo!!!! Did the cops act stupidly this time?

Janet   September 17th, 2009 - 10:38 pm

We no longer live in a free country. If someone, during the last administration, had posted
a Bush sign with him made up to look like Hitler, no one would have said a word. The
poster would certainly not have been pushed up against his car in his own driveway
by law enforcement. That woman said it is very hard to find an Obama supporter in her
neighborhood. Well, one is enough. We are being taken over.

Hooter   September 17th, 2009 - 11:28 pm

Just what we need MORE TRASH on telephone poles! Come on… Kid WAKE UP somebody has clean up that CR*P….

Whatwhatwhat   September 18th, 2009 - 12:05 am

Let him fight the ticket in court. He can get Oily Taint to represent him? I think she has another birther case coming up that is just waiting to get thrown out for lack of evidence. I’m sure she won’t be busy.

wsorrian   September 18th, 2009 - 12:11 am

The…uhhh…police….ummm….acted…stupidly…

TC   September 18th, 2009 - 9:40 am

The fact remains: racism IS rampant. And it is becoming glaringly MORE obvious daily, including AGAINST white people. You dont like the POC prez? your gonna be called a racist.

The kid is gonna sue and he has every right to do so. What happened to him was 100% UNconstitutional. Stupid cops. Way to advertise your town as a ‘racist’ one.

chromium   September 18th, 2009 - 10:03 am

Awwwwww, there’s a difference between free speech and vandalism. keep the signs at a rally or protest.

kmichaels   September 18th, 2009 - 10:13 am

Here is why blacks can be seen as having voted for Obama because of his race.
It is seen not in the presidential election but in the primaries.

It is true that blacks vote for demcorats at a high percentage. Nothing like
they voted for Obama. They voted for Obama by an extra 5% but that is
not the issue.

The issue is when Obama was running against Hillary and both were DEMOCRATS.
In that case, Obama got 85% of the black vote and Hillary got the remainder.

That is the sign that it was racism by blacks.

chromium   September 18th, 2009 - 10:14 am

I am a dope, and I say stupid things.

RONNIE   September 18th, 2009 - 1:26 pm

“It Ain’t America no mo” seems like I heard that before

CommonSense   September 18th, 2009 - 1:27 pm

Barrack Obama Hates Americans and will not stand for disent.

peter c   September 19th, 2009 - 1:04 pm

“Valkyrie” was a good movie…but a sad ending.In Nazi Germany people were beaten,be-headed…and thrown in death camps by Cops for doing what this kid did…We are now experience how the Gestapo started their terror campaign which lead to the killings of 11 million people.

It began with a beating by 7 cops…then laws forbidding anti-Hitler posters etc…then all opposition was either murdered or put in concentration camps…Goebbels media lied and twisted the news…Sound Familiar”…Hitler lied and lied….Also sound familiar?They went for the German youth indoctrinating them as young a 6 years old…Sound Familiar?They banned books…sound familiar? They re-wrote history books…sound familiar? They took over all banks…Car companies…student loans businesses…made deals with Stalin….sound familiar? They told Germans that meat was bad because Hitler hated meat…sound familiar? They did forced abortions…even in the third trimester…sound familiar?

They then made lying propaganda about Jews being sub-human….Ummm….Carter and the rest call us all Racists…sound familiar?They trashed their Constitution…sound familiar? They attacked the true Catholic Church and made Hitler their “Messiah” ….sound familiar? They made an alliance with Muslims…even two Muslim SS divisions….sound familiar?

It starts with incidents like these 7 cops attacking this Boy…..and if we ignore it…it ends with concentration camps and NO RIGHTS!

Don’t ignore it…Fight Back…be Strong….God is with us….not with the atheist ACLU,SEIU,ACORN,the lying Left-wing media..the racist Bl@ck Caucus…or immoral Hollywood Sinners….and Their Messiah Obama.

Cooter   September 20th, 2009 - 7:40 pm

If that were a black kid posting the same sign about McCain nothing would have been done. The blacks can no longer say they are held down. There is something passing for black in the White House and Oprah is the richest woman in the world. Now it will be a contest to see who can piss an moan more about the past…the blacks or the Jews.

demdicks   September 21st, 2009 - 10:02 am

Sue, sue, sue, sue, sue, sue, sue ,sue

Fire all of the cops, deny their pensions and benefits forever.

A True Patriot   October 11th, 2009 - 8:36 pm

Hello, have you accepted Obama as your lord and savior?
If you do not, you’re not an American.

John   October 16th, 2009 - 12:31 pm

This kid is a moron to think those tickets he recieved was a shot at his constitutional freedoms. When cops in republican country ticket you for stating your opinion of disapproval of a democratic politician, it’s because he fugged up by covering important road signs to do so. In other words he broke the law and cops ticketed him. When your neighbors agree with your opinions of our president but call the cops on you, it’s because a law was broken. No one gave a **** about his opinion, they just didn’t want him to cover up a road sign that says “do not enter” because the direction of traffic reverses at that intersection. I’ve seen it occur and watched drivers go right through to a street which is now one way coming right at them because of civillians covering up the existing signs with their own political/business signs. What good is stating your opinion if it kills someone? Who do you think will arrive at that accident? Republican cops! What if the person driving a vehicle into dangerous conditions because of lack of signage is a cop/firefighter/emt that is responding to a call? He put all his neighbors lives at risk by covering important signs, including those cops who have to read road signs same as everyone else. Covering a reflective sign indicating a turn in the road ahead with stickers is dangerous at night, when it counts. The reflective material will not be seen by oncoming drivers and the stupid sign covering it will not be seen either. Obama sucks, but I don’t want to crash into a tree at midnight over him. They should have arrested him for putting drivers at risk and make him pay all costs involved with cleaning up any signs he defaced. He defaced government property (local government) which usually gets you arrested. The tickets were a gift. He should stop whining.
