Here's the plan that was put into operation when Obama won re-election in 2012:
Urgent Message For All Teapublicans
Dear Teapublicans,
Please be advised that your days of freedom are numbered now. In FACT the buses will be along in just 48 hours now to collect you from your homes and transport you to those FEMA death camps where you'll be forced to endure nonstop liberal propaganda and sharia law. You'll be put to work in chain gangs repaving roads and reparing bridges...
OMIT! OMIT!! OMIT!!!
Your homes and belongings will be redistributed amongst the union thugs who run the camps and your bibles will be used as fuel to heat those homes. You will endure psychologically scarring conditioning regimens to convert you into muslim atheists like Obama and you will all be given free cell phones whether you want them or not

I was on the Jury and voted to hide based on the omitted part. Someone made a thread on my response. Yes, I was infamous Juror #6:
Best Juror comment ever & possible questionable hide...
I've recently completed serving on a jury in which the alerted post was successfully hidden but now I'm wondering if I made a mistake in agreeing to vote to hide. I did a brief background check on the poster who was being jurified and only had the time to discover two other posts that were exactly the same as the one in question (and both had already been hidden by other juries), but after the results came back, I continued searching for the guy's other posts and found that I may have been mistaken in suspecting tea-thuggery tactics. An explanation given by another juror is what inspired me to dig a little deeper and has now caused me to be uncertain whether the right course of action was taken.
Here is that other juror's comment:
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said:
I'm laughing my ass off, but I guess this shouldn't be here. The guy has 7 posts, with 2 already hidden, a bragging profile and has got the wingnut dogma down pat.
I don't know why his other posts were hidden. Maybe he's drunk as a skunk tonight. Maybe he's a troll here to make DU looks bad to those who are lurking.
The use of the racist theme is the reason I'm voting to hide. If he'd used a
icon I guess it would pass with an edit, but he really did say exactly what wingnuts believe. Still...
Other that that, I'm

'Given free cell phones whether they want them or not.'
At the FEMA death camps. OMG.
*spits on monitor*
Reluctantly, I vote to hide.
The origin of the 'Obamaphone' slur is from a program in effect for decades to help battered spouses call for help when their partner is denying them access to the phone or leaving the house in order to call for help.
It's been used as a lifeline for homeless people. It's not a luxury item, only profressional Ignoratti (and their listeners) claim such. It has also been used as a racial slur with images of black women happy about getting a cellphone.
