OMG check out this billboard some wingnuts put up in Kansas City!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

This is disgusting. It is on I-70 at the 22.8 mile marker between Blue Springs and Grain Valley (eastern suburbs).

I got this in an email and drove out there today to make sure it wasn't a hoax. My heart sank when I saw it.

The hate is getting out of hand, folks.

[Clio the Leo]

1. MUCH better on the spelling this time.....

.... they must have called in an independent consultant on that one.

[roguevalley]

29. personally, I want them to just die. Jeez, what an abuse of a slogan.

[saltpoint]

2. For what it cost to run that sign up that pole the girls' soccer team could

get new uniforms, the marching band could order a couple more brass instruments or drums, some more books could be placed on the school library shelf, and kids who arrive without lunch money because both their parents have been laid off could have something to eat.

God damn the Far Right anyway. God damn them all.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. God damn them indeed

:mad:

[unpossibles]

14. What are you, some kind of commie?!?1?

I'm kidding, of course, but that's probably not too far from the real answer they'd give you, and probably nicer.

These people are sick.

[saltpoint]

16. True . They may actually be sick -- suffering from some kind of

behavioral disturbance or other.

To ceremonialize anger like that, to yelp out defiant crap at a president addressing the nation, etc.

Several screws loose in the GOP Frankenstein.

[xfundy]

21. More importantly-

Think of all the antipsychotic drugs that could have been bought!

[earthside]

4. Where's the swastika?

Somebody messed up.

[Beartracks]

17. Dontcha know?

Swastikas and Hammer/Sickle mean the SAME THING!! OMG!!11!!!

:sarcasm: <-- In case it's needed...

Sometimes people can be so dumb in the ways of history.

:eyes:

[thunder rising]

5. I guess they don't get the irony of that sign. At least the 1st amendment is still in effect.

[Blue_Tires]

39. +1

[KansDem]

"Live Free or Die?"

Isn't that the state motto of New Hampshire?

Man, these wankers can't even come up with original slogans! :rofl:

Where the hell did you see this, proud2BlibKansan?

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. I-70 eastbound

between Blue Springs and Grain Valley.

I got an email about it last night and thought for sure it was a hoax. Drove out there myself to check it out and I was stunned when I saw the sign.

What kind of HATE is necessary to spend that kind of money on a freakin billboard???

[KansDem]

11. Thanks!

I don't get out that way much, but wonder if something like this will appear at other locations. I keep a lookout on I-35 from Olathe to downtown...

[sakabatou]

37. The unofficial motto of NH is

"Live, Freeze, or Die."

[Cha]

6. They have to advertise LIES and

we put up the facts about bush..wonder if anyone will realize what a pack of shit is stuffed on that billboard?

[SIMPLYB1980]

7. Sad.

[donco6]

8. We have billboards here: Where is the Birth Certificate?

But that one is much worse.

[mscuedawg]

10. "The Hammer and Sickle...

...is a part of communist symbolism and its usage indicates an association with Communism, a Communist Party, or a Communist state. It features a hammer superimposed on a sickle, or vice versa. The two tools are symbols of the industrial proletariat and the peasantry; placing them together symbolises the unity between industrial and agricultural workers. This emblem was made during the Bolshevik Revolution."

IDK...but I would think they'd have the American flag on the billboard, but maybe I dont understand them... :shrug:

[Cha]

23. Aren't they trying to associate PO with

the communist party? Is this mccarthy's revenge?

[Canuckistanian]

12. You know, paint guns would do wonders for that billboard

Get about 6 "weekend warriors" at night and PLASTER that sign with red paint and voila!

Just a suggestion.

[Chipper Chat]

13. Cover the word "Obama-Nation" with a banner that reads:

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
That should do it.

[Beartracks]

20. Is there a billboard across the highway?

If so, it's just begging for something snarky yet accurate, with an arrow pointing to the other billboard.

[gratefultobelib]

15. About 5 miles from my house. Unbelievable.

[mindwalker_i]

18. This is great stuff

It just shows the Repub party to be such a collection of mixed nuts, that more and more people turn away from them.

[benld74]

19. When did it go up?

I was out in KC 2 weeks ago and driving back I did not see it.
Perhaps finding out the company who was paid to put it up would assist?

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. I don't know when it went up

I don't live out that way. Got an email last night and went to check it out today.

[RubyDuby in GA]

22. That's right where my aunts live and I was just there a little over a month ago

It's amazing the amount of hate that these people are letting loose. What is wrong with these nutjobs? (rhetorical question - I was just at a town hall meeting this weekend and I know what's wrong with the ignorant assholes).

I'll have to find out what my aunts think of this and if there's any paintball enthusiasts that might need to drive by...

[Telly Savalas]

24. Look at the bright side.

That billboard boosts the Missouri Film Board's chances of getting a major studio to film a remake of "Deliverance" in the state.

[NYC Liberal]

25. And the design is about as great as FreeRepublic.com

:puke:

[smoochpooch]

27. Could it be any more vague? What exactly are they saying Obama did to those amendments?

What does "Obama-Nation" mean and what does "How do you like your change now" mean?

[ellie]

28. Someone needs to do a little night

work. See Edward Abbey.

[ShadowLiberal]

30. And yet stuff like this prove Obama hasn't attacked 1st amendment rights

Really, if Obama were attacking our 1st amendment rights don't you think he would... oh I don't know... attack the 1st amendment rights of people who put up that sign, by getting rid of it?

And on the 2nd amendment to they're wrong, Obama's already signed more things into law with provisions expanding gun rights then George W. Bush ever did in his 8 years, nor has he vetoed any bills yet so you can't even argue he voted some pro gun legislation. And yet Obama is taking away our second amendment rights now? Oh, and not to mention the Supreme Court just agreed to hear a case on if the 2nd amendment applies to states as well (and even if Obama wanted to make the states take away 2nd amendment gun rights he couldn't, he's president, not dictator).

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. Good point. And a bunch of bullet holes in that sign would prove the 2nd amendment

is still valid :)

[tomm2thumbs]

31. in my opinion it energizes the Democrats so bring it on - and drains their coffers

they keep using these superlatives which they will be unable to maintain after another month or so passes. After predicting the end of the world for month after month after month, people really do stop listening after awhile.

That is starting to happen.

'Obama is Hitler' - well, hate to tell you folks he ain't - and you got no where to go now that you've drawn that analogy

yes, the end is near - but for the GOP

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I certainly hope you are right

[boppers]

32. How come nobody ever cares about the other amendments?

Shouldn't the sixth be enough to shut down gitmo?

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. +1

[gauguin57]

36. I don't ever want to hear the people who put up that billboard claim to be Christians.

Because Jesus himself would come smack them across the face to hear the vile hatred they spew.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. I so agree
