Oregon police department demanding an apology from the Obama camp for placing porta potties directly on top of a police memorial, during his supposed event that drew 75.000 people.

Looking in to this will reveal the knee-jerk hate filled hysteria of the right (and maybe even the left).

Sorry if repost.

1. he has no choice but to denounce and reject that porta potty placement

2. Yep

I'm sure the Senator walked the area in advance and made this decision.

3. Noise machine begining to kick into campaign mode.

>>>>>Should we expect anything less from a man that has lied all through his campaign. The man respects nothing American. Another thing that gripes me is that all these people in the picture act like they don't even care that our fallen Brothers and Sisters have been disgraced. People think that he is the grandest thing to hit America but I tell you he is a wolf in sheeps clothing. The man cares nothing for Law Enforcement or the people of America. We need to get the word out to all of our family and friends. When I saw this article I wanted to throw up. To the familes of the Fallen Heroes I am truly sorry you had to experience this kind of disgrace and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you. To Obama aka Osama you are a disgrace to this country and the people that have fought and died in this country to make it the GREATEST NATION ON THIS EARTH. >>>>

A reply on the policelink site.

Hope Obama and Co. have a plan. I'd suggest 'planned ignoring' as an apology will keep the story going.

4. Why aren't they protesting to the Porta-Potty people?

Did Obama tell them to place the PPs there? Police should know better.

5. already been there, done that

Obama campaign had no influence over where the potties were placed.

6. Old news

and it was found that the parks commission dictates the placement of the portopotties

port-a-potty-gate is over.

7. Old news. A non-starter. Give it up ......Moving along.............

8. For the Record...

Not that anyone should care, but I do; It was evident to me that the likelihood of this being a conscious effort by the Obama staff was ridiculous. I am just amazed at the rabid response from the group at the Police site.

10. the police have been well served under the bush admin

there was all that homeland security money being tossed around. all kind of hs training going on. we have militarization of our pd's across the country. i understand that we the people getting our constitution and civil rights back may be threatening to our police state.

9. I'd think the police would know how those park events are handled.

I'd also have to question that if it bothered that particular cop so much that he photographed it, why didn't he call the appropriate people and have the porta potty company move them immediately.
