Vandals Carve Swastika and ‘Obama’ in US Golf Course
Israel National News ^ | October 14, 2009 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 10/14/2009 11:58:57 AM PDT by Tzvi INN.com

Vandals shocked Americans Monday night by carving a 20 x 30-foot swastika and the word “Obama” and the letter “I” near the 18th hole of a Massachusetts golf course. The Secret Service is investigating the possibility of an intended threat on the president.

The letter “I” may have represented “Israel.”

No, no. They are getting this all wrong.

The people who made the swastika symbol are actually FOR Obama.

Yeah, that's what terrorists and presidential assassins do, they carve threats on Golf Courses before they strike. Good thing we have the FBI and CIA involved. Perhaps we can also get the Fire Department, Dog Catcher and some of those Automobile workers on it too.

Because, we all know this wasn't done by a teenager who had nothing else to do, and wanted to impress his friends, right?

The letter “I” may have represented “Israel.”

More likely that the ”I” refered to Obama’s favorite word.

For as much as Obama use the word it might be his first initial as in; I. Barak Obama.

That’s the way I read it ... the swatstikahhh was a literary license replacement for a heart ... as in I (heart) NY ... I (swatstica) Obama.

The letter “I” may have represented “Israel.”

What a moronic assumption. Why would it have anything to do with Israel? It looks like the swastika replaces a heart... as in "I (heart) Obama".

I am growing so tired of these lazy stories from the media. fall silent and perish, media.

are they trying to be stupid? Someone is obviously calling obama a nazi.

DUH

The “I” does not represent israel, the F*ing idiots.

Some dumb kid took “I ‘heart’ obama” and modified to to “I ‘swastika’ obama”.

That is all. THere’s no threat to precious obama. dam there are some really really STUPID people in this world...and I’m not talking about the one that carved the message.

This is a story written by an Israeli for the Israeli press. Claiming the *I* referred to Israel was likely a simple-minded way of creating a news “hook” to appeal to his editors and readers.

So they are calling obama a nazi, americans racists, and columbus a genocidist, all at the same time?

That’s cute.

That’s actually kinda impressive. I don’t agree with the emotion, but I gotta respect their creativity. They are certainly many times more intelligent than the idiot that wrote this worthless article.

No neo-Nazi would do this sort of vandalism as the swastika was not a nazi swastika.

A nazi swastika is right handed while the one carved on the golf course is a left handed swastika.

Look for the ignorant vandal to be an agent provacateur.

The left handed swastika is used as a good luck charm/talisman by various Eastern/New Age religions.

So, "I Obama" could mean "I bless/protect Obama".

“the secret service is investigating this as a possible threat to the president”
that cracks me up. do they honestly think that anyone who poses a serious threat to oblabo would go carve their intentions on a golf course, or put it on a bill board, or anything like that? how stupid are these people?

Right, the first photos I saw yesterday gave no sense of scale. Some jokes were made comparing it to a crop circle.

It looks like the size of the stonehenge model in Spinal Tap.

Still offensive. No idea who did it. Since they got it wrong, it could quite possibly be liberal provocateurs.

During the 2004 campaign, there were COUNTLESS examples of swastikas painted on the campaign signs and homes and sidewalks of Bush-Cheney supporters.

I seriously doubt that the Secret Service investigated anything approaching a dozen of those cases.

There’s a lot of red in Mass., in the burbs. The cities kill us in elections and not much of it leaks into the suburbs because we don’t allow city transportation in. As soon as public transportation moves into another town, the city’s underside comes in and mucks it up, mostly bringing crime but that’s a leftist trait.

SS never investigated all the kill Bush stuff, did it?

Zero is an extraordinarily freaking lunatic.

The Boston NBC station has figured out that it wasn't a swastika and updated their article.

LAKEVILLE, Mass -- Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a symbol that represents eastern religious beliefs carved into the green.

Lakeville Country Club workers discovered the vandalism early Monday morning.

Police believe the vandals meant to carve a swastika next to President Barack Obama's name on the 18th hole; however, the symbol was backwards and means hope and peace in some Eastern countries.

http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO126794/

They still have it wrong. Clearly this was the work of Buddhist Obama supporters.
