Too wacky to be part of a serious campaign. I suspect it is a liberal skunkworks operation intended to spark some sort of Obama sympathy vote.

THAT IS BRILLIANT!!!

Mockery, satire, and ridicule are the most potent political weapons of mass destruction. Look what they did to Bush. And Palin. This should be just the start—I wold love to see that billboard all over the place. Bring the Kenyan down. The great thing about billboards—they escape the censorship department, AKA MSM.

I’m not sure. The only people that are sympathetic to kenyan pro-illegal-immigration terrorists are probably going to be voting for him anyway.

What’s gay in this sign? I see Islamist, Mexican, Chicago gangster and SEIU member. Nothing remotely gay in that. Unless, perhaps, that is a Gay Islamist, Gay Mexican, Gay Chicago thug and Gay SEIU member. But I don’t have functioning gaydar (thank God), so I can’t really tell.

We drove through Western CO yesterday, but didn’t go through Grand Junction. Would have loved to see this sign.

Can’t figure out which one is supposed to be gay, but maybe the guy in purple, who is actually an SIEU union thug.

I suspect that the writer, for the French wire service AFP, is simply ignorant of the SEIU and thus talking out of his rear end.

Notice how he is confusing the (better-known-in-France) BRITISH tax authority, the INLAND Revenue, with our IRS. THe writer also is inconsistent in using American usages (”organization”) and British ones.

Clearly, these cartoons are offensive and racist...

I am a conservative and a Colorado resident and I do not like the billboard. IMO, it does not lead to an intelligent discussion of the issues in this election, the differences between the parties, or the role government should play in our society and our lives. Worse yet, it might fire up the Democrats...and that is a sleeping dog I would rather let lie. In other words, the billboard does no good and may do harm to the conservative cause.

That said, I support the free speech rights of the person/organization who put up the billboard.

No, Really? ;)

I tripped over it yesterday, while looking at another article on my local tv news station. They had an article about the sign, but with no pictures. I've family in Grand Junction, and used to live about an hours drive away, so knew the name of the local paper, checked their site, and posted a link. This is, I think, maybe my 10th posted article on FR, in the decade or so I've lurked or been a member here. Different headline will make a difference, too. Seach will find exact headlines, but not necessarily related links.

It's getting some interesting reactions, that is for sure!

I swear I only pushed post once, but it posted three times... Feel free to dump a couple of them, if you wish.
