Town-hall clash! Cop vs. Obama 'Joker' poster
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | August 28, 2009 | Drew Zahn

"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a police officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.

The officer's response?

"It ain't no more, OK?"

A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.

Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.

"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.

"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing."

I agree, it’s going to get worse.

How long before we hear about a ‘black police officer’s union’. Or black civil service people not waiting on white people.

The cop is a perfect representative of Moran’s Alexandria district. Now you understand how the miserable drunk gets re-elected.

They enemy is not Mr. Cheeks, who is just a stupid tool in this very elucidating incident now for the whole WORLD to see.

When you think about it, the enemy is much higher up than this street goon in Virginia.

We should not go "Joe The Plumber" on him, as a man, just on principle.

Our fight is with powers and principalities much higher than this loon.

Let is keep our focus on those people, and drive them from office. Glen Beck is doing a very good job on that score. And our side? Just keep buying weapons, stockpiling ammunition, buy supplies, and practicing survival procedures with your neighbors and family. They want a national civilian defense network? FINE. They will get it. Just not on THEIR terms. This will be community organizing you can believe in! Yeah baby.

It is going to get worse.

Lots of masks are about to start coming off, and the Obama drones will be even uglier than previously thought.

Prepare for the worst.

Huh? I think Weeks should be sued if not incarcerated. I don't care if he's too stupid not to understand. He's part of the problem. Do you actually think he doesn't believe what he said about this "not being America anymore"?

He should have put the picture up, and got arrested, all on tape, and sue the living crap out of them. Could be another rich conservative....

Here are my thoughts on the subject

First off, the story seems to not be available right now. This is the message you get when you click on the story.

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0.

Hopefully, they'll get that resolved soon.

Onto the story itself. The last time I checked this was still America and people like myself do have a right to express our feeling about the messiah whether his disciples like it or not.

I actually have two Obama as Joker posters that I printed off the Internet hanging in my office. One of them has the word "SOCIALISM" on top and on the bottom it says, "Its no JOKE!"

The other picture has the word, "socialism".

Let someone try to bully or intidimate me into taking those pictures down. I don't care who or what he or she is I'll just have my dog Bo chase him or her out of the house.

Last time I checked the deed to the house had my name on it, NOT Barrack Obama's or any of his disciples.

It's time the Obamabots in positions of authority got the message of who is the boss around here.

Regards.....

As determined on another thread, this guy is a school district “cop” A shining example of affirmative action.

Thing is he is wearing an I.D. badge on his right breast. That is usually for security guards.’

He also sounds retarded in his response. “I will charge you trespassing”? Please, there were plenty of other signs there and I bet more than a few with a “picture” on it.

Anyway, a real cop would arrest him for disturbing the peace and failure to follow a lawful command by a peace officer.

Just doesn’t sound or look right.
