When it comes to politics, there may be as many opinions as cars cruising down U.S. 65. So, naturally, there are different reactions to a billboard south of Ozark that says "Voted Obama? Embarrassed yet?" (snip) "My partner and I felt lots of frustration here lately, and we liked that sign and we thought that was a reasonable question to ask," Steve Critchfield said in a telephone interview on Monday. (snip) Critchfield says he's received death threats due to the sign; people accuse him of hate speech and racism.

“Hate speech” and “racism”?
And the left wants to lecture us on the First Amendment?
Laughable

He ought to put up a second sign that has a picture of Bush saying miss me yet?

Expecting people who voted for Obama to admit embarassment, even to themselves, is like expecting a phone call from Monica Bellucci.

"Voted Obama? Embarrassed yet?" I love those billboards.
There have been a couple of "Fire Hoyer" writings on overpasses on I-95 in recent months (promptly removed when noticed).
Love it.

I can’t figure out if these death threats are coming from Conservatives or liberals.....hmmmm....
To: Nachum
Funny. There was no media scrutiny of people who posted anti-Bush billboards. Why are people who engage in their God-given First Amendment right expected to justify their engagings of this right to anyone?

Oh, but they are Ben as you are probably well aware.
For the “left”, it’s all about “feelings”.
Inflammatory rhetoric to inflame people’s emotions.
Agitators of the worst kind.
