The Picture That Should Cost Obama His Job (Lets Make It Happen)
PJ Media ^ | September 15, 2012 | Roger Kimball

Instapundit heads the piece “Why Barack Obama Should Resign.” That’s a good title. The column might also be titled, “Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid.” I remember a line from the philosopher David Hume that Hayek used as an epigraph to The Road to Serfdom. “It is seldom,” said Hume, “that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.” There’s the innocent seeming accommodation here, the turning a blind eye to official violations of the law there, and, bang, before you can say Saul Alinsky, people are being rounded up at midnight by brownshirted men for making a movie that embarrasses El Presidente.

In case you think that is a baseless exaggeration by a knuckle-dragging, right-wing hater, take a look at the photo:

By way of explication, Glenn Reynolds quotes the L.A. Times: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”

Got that? The chap made a movie. (He may also have violated probation, but that herring is red, Comrade.) As Glenn observes, “By sending — literally — brownshirted enforcers to engage in — literally — a midnight knock at the door of a man for the non-crime of embarrassing the President of the United States and his administration, President Obama violated that oath. . . . It is a betrayal of his duties as President, and a disgrace.”

Yep. And he should resign. And, as Glenn further observes, he surely won’t. But the people of the United States, Democrat as well as Republican, should turn him out of office ignominiously in November.

Spot on and well done graphic! I noticed you gave the jpg file a nebulous title so those dadblasted search engines can't see that you are exercising your right to free speech. If you had called it something with his name in it, you might get a knock on your door and be arrested like the man in the photo that is the subject of this thread.

First they deliberately shut down auto dealerships in Republican districts and threw out bankruptcy laws during the GM takeover... then they raided Gibson Guitars... then they allowed the New Black Panthers to put a death warrant on George Zimmerman’s head without any kind of response... then they ordered DOJ investigations and IRS audits of big Romney donors... and now this. (I’m sure I’m missing many examples, btw).

This isn’t simply ol’ “Chicago politics”... this is fascism.

Mercury News reports that he might have broken the law, but there is a huge difference between might have and has broken the law. And since when is it a crime to make a movie?

Give away whatever nuclear secrets he can.

That's a lock.

Actually, you’re right. He made the movie in 2011 and sentenced in 2010. The only way he’d get away with it is if someone else posted it after it was made.

[I faol to see how an Israeli attack would help Obama]

This entire ‘caliphate’ in the Middle East has but ONE goal...the final all out invasion and destruction of Israel.

Once Israel has been overrun and destroyed, the occupier in our White House will act. His ‘outrage’ about the destruction of Israel will be ‘avenged’ with selected massive strikes in the Middle East.

Obama...’The Hero’ will be vaulted into his second term.

As Drudge would proclaim...developing.

Parole violators, especially those of non-violent crimes, are almost never rounded up at midnight by a squad of armed brownshirts. This was all about the movie, and not a parole violation

Some people don't get it.

He was whisked away for the sole purpose to be interviewed/interrogated by the feds.

No doubt they will convince him to make a public statement of apology, and to publicly withdraw his support for the film, asking forgiveness etc...The feds will promise to "go easy" on him for his cooperation and suggest he might be compensated well for changing his ways by taking on a career of writing books, after having seeing his mistakes regarding the Muslim world.

It's going to happen.

This would be a huge boon to Obama and the Muslims.

those officers and any other in this country when ordered to take a US citizen in to custody for exercising their rights should stand by their OATH and refuse any order that contradicts constitutional law.

The Picture That Should Cost Obama His Job

This is the picture that should have cost Bill Clinton his job.

But it didn't. I doubt your picture will have any effect on Obama. If we manage to get him out it'll be because we hammered him on the economy and not because of some film maker who pissed off the Muslims.

Did you notice the crude noose in the hand of someone behind the LEO on the left?

Then maybe it’s time to see how many stupid, poorly made videos we can put out there at a time?

I don’t know anything about video editing, I don’t think I even have the software for it, but I’ve got a few ideas . . .

FYI, that looks like just a security cable for locking up an expensive piece of camera equipment.

Not quite. He was whisked away for the purpose of outing him to the muzzies; to put a target on his back. This was Obama assassinating the guy for Mohammed.

BREAKING NEWS- Anti Muslim Film Maker To Give Statement at 2:00 p.m. EST.

After the Feds are done with him, just days prior to the election, they put this guy on CNN, with breaking news flashing all over the screen in anticipation for the statement. The world tunes in.

The film maker appears, emotional with his face blurred out, asking the world for forgiveness, apologizing for being hateful towards Muslims and for all the trouble the film caused.
