I did some travelling this weekend and had to go through the Washington/Dulles airport and was taken aback by a t-shirt/magazine/candy rip-off store that was the first store you would see coming into the C section of the airport.

In front of the store where you could not miss it were t-shirts that had anti-Obama messages like "Nobama", "Let's Take Our Country Back" and other none-too-subtle messages clearly to be on sale and out in front for all to see in the crowded airport.

I could only imagine the poutrage from concern trolls if there had been anti-Bush t-shirts right there in front of the store and clearly visible to even the TSA security that were very much present in that location...looking for people who hate our President and/or want to harm Americans.

I'm all for free speech, but why haven't there been at least some reporting on this story?

After all, the Republicans keep saying we are at war with the terrorists and imply Obama isn't stopping ALL of them and this particular location is RIGHT IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL, ferfuckityfucks' sake!

I was in too much of a rush to yank out my iPhone and take some video of the store and upload it and show what I'm talking about, but I'm sure someone here at DU could stop by at Dulles and see.

Why do these t-shirt scam artists hate America? Can someone do a report on this? People selling anti-Obama t-shirts in an airport pretty much on terrorist-lockdown in our nation's capital is OK? Really? And it would not have been a problem in 2002 with anti-Bush t-shirts right there in front of the store?

I'd love a Republican come up with an "answer".
