That’s what Leonard Riggio, founder and chairman of the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain says. According to him, anyone who would dare place a book with a picture of a monkey next to a book with a picture of Obama has committed a hate crime, and belongs in a federal prison.
This malicious and despicable act is nothing short of a hate crime, which should be punishable under federal statutes.
Of course, Barnes & Noble is always screaming “free speech” and “stop censorship” when Christians ask them not to sell blasphemous or obscene books. Free speech is for porno; it’s not for ridiculing Obama.
It might be hate, but what makes it a “crime”?
Excellent.....
LOLOLOL, Roscoe!
A crime?!?? Looks more like a joke and I’m not so sure it wasn’t orchestrated by a Liberal who took the picture and blamed it on the Right.
It depends on the grip of the propaganda arm of the liberal party, you know, MSM, Hollywood, the courts, most television programs, the schools and colleges, even the government hiring officials in many instances. Even the police who are enforcing laws passed by ACLU inspired court decisions.
They have a real grip on the ability to spin reality until you do not know what it is.
I have not yet made up my mind but I am watching the first two seasons of CTU. It is incomprehensible to me about the subtle messages in this show. The first season had serbian terrorists. The 2nd season, which I have not yet finished has the head of the NSA, rogue special forces, right wing “patriots” and even some islamic terrorists all combining in a weird combination to blow up an atomic bomb in LA. After 9/11 it is incomprehensible to have a show specializing in counter terrorism which by the second season can not have just the real bad muslim terrorists, like in the real world. In conclusion, the one show dedicated to counter terrorism can not show islamics as the bad guys without mixing in a bunch of blue-eyed, white skinned villains.
I challenge you to name one show in recent history in which the hero is a white, Christian, heterosexual, male, businessman. Just one.
All this is a massive propaganda conspiracy, and it influences how people perceive who to vote for and what to support.
LOL, lily. It appears someone was monkeying around with the storefront display.
Both
The one on the left can read, but needs a teleprompter to say anything, as he has no idea what to say without one.
The one on the right is an educated monkey who comes from a long line of white human & white monkey hunters. Kind of like the "Planet of The Apes" movies.
LOL . . . . some things are hard to miss.
Guess they forgot to tell him... hey whiny ass....
CRAP GOES ALONG WITH BEING IN THE WH CHAIR.....
JUST ASK PRESIDENT GEROGE W. BUSH.
So monkeys cannot have any hope of change?
I see a very close resemblance. At least the ape is cute!
I feel sorry for the monkeys, they should not have their pictures displayed with 0bama. HA!!!
That’s right, monkeys don’t need teleprompters.
The same can be said for the USA and the WOT.
You have to fight the enemy at their level.....or you will lose.
Now that we have Obama, we will lose.
Nonsense! Obama is a mulatto.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me that in order to qualify as a “hate” crime, something should be a crime first.
We should be happy that Leonard Riggio, the chairman of Barnes and Noble who made this inane remark, isn’t vying for the next vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Obama might be considering him./ Sarc.
Mind you it is still number 7 on the NYTimes bestsellers list.
