"My generation went through the Second World War, and Nazism is about the worst there can be," [URL="http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/80-Year-Old-Charged-With-Stealing-Political-Signs-174645841.html"]Lack told NBC Connecticut[/URL]. "I just got very angry that they would do that to Obama’s image." She took down the posters, knowing she would get in trouble for it, and put them in her car while a worker with LaRouchePAC followed her. Afterward, she was arrested and now faces sixth-degree larceny and breach of peace charges. "I guess I deserved it. I stole the posters," she said, adding that she stood by her actions. Those posters weren't the only political displays with the president's likeness targeted in Connecticut this week. [B][URL="http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Political-Scarecrows-Set-on-Fire-174690701.html"]NBC Connecticut reported[/URL] that a scarecrow display featuring the faces of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and five other prominent Democrats — part of an annual scarecrow contest – was set on fire on Colchester's town green Tuesday night.[/B] Other displays on the green, including a Republican scarecrow group, were unharmed. "I think it was definitely politically motivated," said Monica Swyden, a Democrat. "I think there's something here against the Democrats." "No matter whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, it's terrible," local resident Janice Adams said. [/quote] burning effigies? stay classy republicans

What the fuck.

[B]WHAT IN THE FUCK![/B] I'm sure obama would like it if someone did that.

Clearly its a democrat trying to make republicans look bad /conspiracy [sp]maybe[/sp]

Godwin seriously how is comparing people to nazi's even slightly rational at least compare him to Stalin. Hitler is a pure fascist, Obama would be way closer to Stalin if you're going to go with insane comparisons. [I]GET IT RIGHT AT LEAST.[/I]

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;38087999]Clearly its a democrat trying to make republicans look bad /conspiracy [sp]maybe[/sp][/QUOTE] people who made it are actually supporters of a conspiracy theorist libertarian so I'm not surprised

Defends the President Gets jailed.

"Global warming is as fake as your girlfriend's orgasm"? That's the most hamfisted sandwich-board insult I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=Killuah;38088172]Defends the President Gets jailed.[/QUOTE] He must be on par with hitler if that happens!!!! [QUOTE=RedStar;38088189]you know, the people that made the posters probably have no idea who stalin is[/QUOTE] What the fuck is a stalin? is that wigger talk for when your gun jams? :q: /logic

But wait! Isn't Obama a communist?

Obama is a communist, socialist, fascist, authoritarian, and libertarian all rolled into one.

It sounds like she was just picking up litter. I hope to be as productive at that age.

These aren't Republicans, they are LaRouche supporters. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movement[/url] They go around with pictures of Obama with a Hitler 'stache. I've seen them all around Western Washington.

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;38088301]It sounds like she was just picking up litter. I hope to be as productive at that age.[/QUOTE] Well said. In her defense, she should say "I didn't know taking out the trash was illegal."

Obama should pardon her

I've seen those posters all around where I live. I even saw some people going around and taking them down (not the people who put them up), and they didn't get in trouble. On the one hand I guess this could be defending freedom of speech, but on the other hand these posters are really distasteful.

They compare everything to Communism and / or Fascism. Remember, these are the people who think the IRS is comparable to the Gestapo.

"Hmm... how to I make people support my cause about the global warming conspiracy? I know! I should insult them!"

While this is all stupid and in poor taste, we have the freedom of speech and expression here in the United States. They are welcome to their opinion and are welcome to have it heard to the public so long as it is not threatening. 'Defending the president = jail' is not really the point here. The basic is that she broke the law, regardless if you agree with the contents of it or not. I highly doubt she spent any real jail time over what she did. Likely was given a summons and released.

I remember seeing people with Obama Hitler posters when I went to Seattle. Felt it ironic since Washington is a pretty blue state. The posters looked like: [IMG]http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4052/4428905993_5126574fa2_b.jpg[/IMG]

LaRouche thinks 9/11 is an inside job lawl

I think they do rounds around the sound.

While I think arresting the woman was extreme and the signs were stupid, people have the right to use them If they wish, and the government can't infringe on that right.
