'Obama Stinks' sign posted with dead skunks on utility pole

Source: Connecticut Post

FAIRFIELD – A $5,000 reward is being offered by the Humane Society of the United States for information about the mutilated skunks found dead Tuesday -- one lashed to a utility pole -- along with a sign proclaiming "Obama Stinks."

Local animal-control officials were notified Wednesday by Annie Hornish, state director for the organization, that it is offering the reward for information about the bizarre incident involving two dead skunks at the corner of Park and Jackman avenues a day earlier.

As of Wednesday morning, however, police had no new information about their investigation into the incident.

The skunks were discovered when a woman called police around 8:40 a.m. Tuesday to report there appeared to be a dead skunk nailed to the telephone pole. When officers arrived, they found two dead skunks at the site -- one had heavy string wrapped around its neck and was nailed to the pole about 4 feet from the ground. The second skunk was lying at the base of the pole.

Here is a photograph of the sign:



Good that it's being investigated and there's a reward available for information. I only hope the local authorities call in the Secret Service.

This is in one of the most liberal states in the US, having gone for Obama overwhelmingly twice and with two Democratic Senators and five of five Democratic Congressmen and Democrats in all state-wide offices.

However, it took place in Fairfield, a bastion of republican racists, who don't even like to admit that they're in the same county as the dreaded Bridgeport.

admittedly right down the street from the dreaded Bridgeport. I find this rather surprising.

Now Southport (a wealthy section of Fairfield across town near Westport). That's a bastion of republican racists.

Poor skunks.

As far as the "obama stinks" part of it: folks are free to feel that way.

But those poor skunks.

Teddy, said he knew when he had beatin his political foe,
by how angry they got!! (GOP are very angry)

When he signed an order making Yellowstone a national park:
he knew he had beating the congress, because they were complaining
so much and very loud, and he said" they didn't have any moves". Obama is doing very well, and he has black skin,
that is why they are so mean. The GOP are losers, they have no ideas,
the have failed to govern, and they are unpopular. The bought their way in to office,(Koch are there bosses): GOP Senators
are not working for the American people, they are not freemen, they are puppets for the bosses the Kochs


Yes, Obama used money to get elected, and he had to play the game, but
he is truly loved and admired on is own personal terms. That why he won with 10 GOP states,
and got 5million more votes than the GOP. He won all the big states.!! Fl Ohio etc.

I fear the GOP, has become so frustrated they are resorting to Treason, and they are corned because
they refuse to learn and evolve.

Now, American I say: Obama is trust worthy, but the GOP is not (Losers!!)

.... and I enjoy it a lot when they let their blind anger make them do something stupid like send a letter to Iran. Eventually, the will do something that leads to a serious backlash, they are in danger of that already.

....and the republicans had a gang of nasty people in the back rows booing, catcalling, and yelling every time Malloy said something they didn't like, and they screamed their approval whenever Foley said anything.

I never saw anything like that in the past.

They should be able to sniff out the guilty parties. You don't nail a skunk to a pole without getting some on you.
