Obama Yard Sign Stirs Up Neighbors

[kevin881]

Source: cfnews13.com

"BAREFOOT BAY -- A sign in one Barefoot Bay yard is stirring up a controversy.

Neighbors of Andy Lacasse say the sign, which says "OBAMA HALF-BREED MUSLIN " breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.

"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13.

Lacasse put the sign in his front yard four days ago.

"If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there," Lacasse said."

1. Just like any Republicant....

...brings a club to a gun fight. (Paraphrased from "The Untouchables").

[SpookyCat]

78. Oh that's funny! When we read the I got a club line

the first thing CS and I said "well, I got a gun!" LOL

[Divernan]

83. Signs like this tear at the fabric of our society!

CSI tells me that the mix of capital and lowercase letters combined with an obvious deeply pressured hand means that the person who wrote this is a schizo ex-con.


(With thanks to anonymous posters at Wonkette for these observations.)

[psychopomp]

132. Surprised that nobody has posted this link yet:

[Gold Metal Flake]

133. Brilliant!

[rocktivity]

145. That pic would make a GREAT yard sign.

But "McCain: Crazy Old Coot" works just as well. I say--retaliate. Aggressive progressivism works.

:headbang:

[trof]

139. The new 'moran' sign.

:rofl:

[saigon68]

142. More to come

"Look what he's doing to Palin," Lacasse said, referring to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican John McCain's running mate. "Come on. He got people going to Alaska, looking for something to say bad about her."

Lacasse said he plans to put an even bigger sign in place of the small, handmade one.

[mucifer]

2. well that just convince me to vote for mccain

:sarcasm:

[JaneQPublic]

14. LOL! (nt)

[blueknight]

3. white trash

piece of shit redneck. unreal

[ixion]

4. the new barbarians

one of the glorious side-effects of neocon politics.

[stray cat]

5. His neighbors should put up signs stating they live next door to a Pedophile and give the address

free speech right?

[pattmarty]

28. Very good!! I was trying to think of how I could defend his........

....free speech right w/o sounding like a right wing wacko. Your Idea is it.

[BrotherBuzz]

67. Or, "Andy Lacasse is not a pedophile or beastialist, so stop saying that".

[LiberalFighter]

91. Works better. The other way he would complain and the sign might have to come down.

This way if he complains he's admitting that he is a pedophile and beastialist.

[rebel with a cause]

88. Better yet, just put up a signs saying

"Andy Lacasse is an Idiot" "Don't believe Andy Lacasse" "Andy Lacasse is a lying bigot" and so on. Make the signs a running remark, that way passer byers will read each sign to see what they say and be amused. The last sign could say "Obama, man of the people". That is if all the neighbors are Obama supporters. Using the word pedophile kind of scares me, because that could run into legal issues and I have a feeling that Mr Lacasse would be the vindictive type.

[madaboutharry]

98. He would probably have a case

for defamation.

It is a nice thought though.

on edit: I like the idea put forth by "rebel with a cause." No defamation there and truth is always a defense.

[michreject]

105. Libel........ right nt

That's lawsuit actions.

[bean fidhleir]

126. Nope! Libel.

It's almost impossible to libel a public figure like Obama, but a private citizen like this jerk? Big bucks.

[jakem]

146. WHat if the signs said Petofille?

[yardwork]

149. Serious LOL!

[Toucano]

6. The unenumerated freedom to be an idiot strikes again. n/t

[annabanana]

7. I say "leave it up!". . Let everybody know the calibre of folk

that still think he's a "muslin". . .

[Booster]

16. And what a well-done sign it is, too.

[MaineDem]

18. I think he knows the moran guy.

He's too stupid to know that he's ignorant.

[rfranklin]

23. I happen to know he is actually corduroy--not muslin....

The fabric of our society is coming apart due to slubs like this.

[llmart]

55. Love the pun:)

[NoName Left]

84. Frayed selvage dwellers...

Missing teeth in a jammed zipper...

[luv_mykatz]

120. Frayed selvage dwellers, missing teeth in a jammed zipper...

:bounce: :thumbsup: :yourock: :applause: :rofl: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :toast: Thank you, thank you! I wish my brain was as bright and quick as yours. "...missing teeth in a jammed zipper...", oh, my!

[cosmicone]

87. He looks more polyester to me. n/t

[LiberalFighter]

92. Isn't muslin usually white?

[yardwork]

150. His white sheet is made from muslin.

[verges]

37. He's a cotton fabric?

n/t

[4lbs]

56. You mean the Jerry Springer show rejects?

n/t

[teknomanzer]

65. Ignorance in action...

I support this kind of free speech - lets do away with the veil of politeness and politically correct talk - I WANT TO KNOW IF A PERSON IS A BIGOT! I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY STAND! So I can laugh my ass off at the obvious stupidity. So Obama is a Half breed piece of cloth. I see ignorance and stupidity reign supreme here.

[Plucketeer]

75. I suggest those who find it offensive...

....put up signs in their yards like this -

[Jazzgirl]

82. Hmmmmm....

I wonder why Andy thinks Obama is a half breed piece of fabric? :evilgrin:

[ContraBass Black]

99. Tough as denim, soft as silk.

[calimary]

106. Wow. Obama is now a piece of fabric.

:eyes:

Obviously from one of our finer minds. :sarcasm:

[Scout]

109. this should become a DU classic, like the moran guy!!! n/t

[MindMatter]

110. Stop quoting this sign out of context

I have it on good authority that this is a very selective close-up of a larger sign that reads:

  
   Obama     can win if we increase our numbers by
half - breed with us. Come get under the
    muslin     sheets. Support the cause!

[HopeHoops]

131. Add this to the "Moran" guy and the "Mavrick" guy

[marylanddem]

8. Can you imagine the degree of hatred that idiot feels?

the offended neighbors should put up some HUGE Obama signs.

[Raine]

147. I wonder what causes such hate in a person...

he must have some personal issues or some horrible experience to make him hate so much. It's very sad to see people like that. :-(

[msongs]

9. muslin is a fabric made from cotton lol nt

[livvy]

13. Well, according to this guy, it's only half cotton. LOL n/t

[EFerrari]

58. "McCain is a full blood percale!"

That would shut 'em up. :rofl:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

86. I wouldn't call Mc'Cain no 'count.

Maybe 100 count. At best. ;-)

[proud2BlibKansan]

94. Nah he's more like a wool blend

Actually half a wool blend.

:rofl:

[knitter4democracy]

135. Nope. He's all acrylic.

*shudder* That nasty squeaky Red Heart that's super cheap because it's total crap.

[Pirate Smile]

10. What a friggin idiot. What they did to Hillary and are doing to Palin? Give me a break.

Obama didn't do anything to Hillary but win a very close nomination battle and he hasn't done jack to Palin. I can't believe what idiots some people are - well, I guess I can but it is still mind-blowing.

[Roy]

73. These are the People repubs are talking to when they lie and lie and lie n/t

[TomClash]

11. A mind is a terrible thing to waste

This chucklehead has wasted his.

[independentpiney]

17. I'm not sure he ever had one to waste

[NoName Left]

85. "What a waste to lose ones mind...

or not to have a mind at all." ~Dan Quayle

[flvegan]

12. Like a true neanderthal, he's got a club.

Unga bunga,moron.

"I got nothing good I can spell about Obama"

[eShirl]

15. classic moran

[Bulletin Justin]

19. Don't remove it---add one!

A proud but stupid member of the KKK lives here!

[sasquatch]

20. This guy is a right winger, I don't believe for a minute that he's a registered Democrat

[Edweird]

39. I don't either. He sounds like a Freeper.

[yardwork]

151. He could be a Democrat. Dixiecrat. Racists, vote Democratic in local elections.

I doubt he's voted Democratic in a national race for decades. Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if he is registered to vote.

[philosophie_en_rose]

21. well, at least he's not polyester...

:eyes:

[mikehiggins]

22. Muslim, bozo, not muslin

I thought this story would be about someone putting a positive Obama sign up and maybe ending up with hundreds of neighbors signing up to volunteer. You know, like a lot of places?

Imagine my surprise that the species Homo Ignoramus had once again shown itself outside of the caves they (and we) prefer they hide in.

What a clown.

[Jamastiene]

24. One of his neighbors should put up the picture here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslin

with the definition of what "Muslin" really is. Of course, with those types of people, the joke will go right over his head.

[Brazenly Liberal]

25. The people next door should put up a sign of their own

An arrow pointing to LaMoran's place and the text "Aren't you glad you can vote Obama/Biden?"

[remember2000forever]

26. Yup! Barefoot Bay! A True Flor-Idiot!

[Swede]

27. If Obama was a fabric he'd be pure silk.

Cause he's so smooth.

[Frisbee]

53. And McPOW would be..

burlap. Course and full of holes.

[Arkansas Democrat]

29. I would put up a sign in my yard that says

MY NEIGHBOR CAN'T SPELL

[drm604]

32. No, don't point it out.

He's liable to correct the sign if someone points out the misspelling. Let it stay the way it is. It's an advertisement of his ignorance.

[ejpoeta]

33. why are all these people terrible spellers!

don't they have a damned dictionary? or for crying out loud.... dictionary.com? they just look like damned idiots before you even look at what they are saying.

[treestar]

42. The ignorance is so profound it doesn't even occur to them they

might not know how to spell it.

Cracks me up when they are making a major statement like that. You'd think if you were going to write a word big on a sign, you'd look it up if you weren't sure. The morans therefore must be "certain" of their spelling!

:rofl: :rofl:

[ejpoeta]

45. how can anyone take their message seriously.

If there is a spelling error i don't even look past that. If you can't take the time to make sure you are presenting something with proper spelling in such a prominent way, then you don't deserve to be taken seriously!

[treestar]

52. Which fortunately takes care of itself!

As we are all laughing our asses off!

:rofl: :rofl:

[llmart]

57. You think they have computer skills????

I think they're more like McLame - unable to log on and use a computer.

[sniffa]

30. Once again, IQ tests should be given before being allowed to vote

The Korean War veteran said he was a registered Democrat until Obama won the nomination.

"That's the Democratic Party. They're nothing but a bunch of cutthroats. Like I always said, you show me an honest politician, I'll show you an honest thief," Lacasse said.

....

"Look what he's doing to Palin. Come on. He got people going to Alaska, looking for something to say bad about her," Lacasse said.

Lacasse said he plans to put an even bigger sign in place of the small handmade one that is already there.

[Limelight]

31. How does one become a half-breed cotton cloth?

Let him keep the sign up. The longer he does it the more his neighbors who support McCain will realize the kinds of idiots they're throwing their lot in with.

[Starlight]

48. cotton-polyester blend?

:shrug:

[fascisthunter]

34. TA Neighbor Should Put Up a Sign That Says, "Racists WIll Lose This Election"

[Frisbee]

54. Except I'd make it...

Racist will lose this erection. :-)

[Nipper1959]

35. Last Night

On the way home an Obama sign on the corner had an "N" taped onto it in front of Obama. Of course we stopped and removed the N, even though it was not our sign, or our property.

[Whoa_Nelly]

36. Muslin???

:spray: :rofl:








The cry of "Half-Breed" from this guy??





IMO--Another 'Murikan hiding his racism behind the false assertion against Obama as a "Muslin".

[Faygo Kid]

44. Excellent. Yep, he's a Moran, all right.

[drm604]

50. The resemblance is remarkable

[llmart]

59. What my daughter would term a "Dub".....

short for WT, "dubya trash" or white trash.

[Limelight]

80. Ironic

Cuz the character is Cotton Hill and Muslin is a cotton cloth. LOL

[JonQ]

90. Ah

but does he have shins?

[road2000]

102. Nope, he's Bandy Andy. n/t

[Gormy Cuss]

72. You know, half breed Muslin.

It's a 50-50 blend of cotton and poly.

[mitchum]

111. A redneck in a wifebeater...what a surprise

[undeterred]

38. A club? Sounds like a typical white male caveman.

[EFerrari]

61. Who knew Dog Patch was real. "Welcom to Bare foot Bay!"

[kayell]

40. Absolutely the sign should stay up.

I totally support his free speech rights.

I can't think of a better way to convince people....

that they don't want in any way to be associated with people as foolish, racist, ignorant and illiterate as Andy Lacasse.

[Infinite Hope]

41. Run it over with a pickup truck. That's what they're doing to pro-Obama signs here. n/t

[fob]

108. No, make similar signs of ignorant remarks with freeper-level spelling and

add them to the lawn. Let him wake up with a hundred signs of similar assholery to them. Make sure the news camera are there.

[minnesota_liberal]

127. My boulevard signs are protected with U-channel posts

Get 'em at garden or home improvement stores.

On the street side they're 16" high. Anyone trying to clobber one with a car door ("oops!") while parked in front of my house will dent their door instead.

On the inland side, they're cut so a bumper just barely clears them. If anyone runs over them, there's a good chance they'll sacrifice part of their exhaust system.

Low tech, low vis and a fraction of the liability exposure of land mines.

[glinda]

43. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT

He has no computer, he has watched very little news and most likely poor lowest end news, he is also illiterate which this Country has promoted in order to keep them stupid. This is actually a good size number of our population and truly truly unfortunate.

[Faygo Kid]

46. One of Hannity's "Great Americans"

These cretins just listen to Hannity, and recycle his hate.

[Union Thug]

47. MUSLIN!!! OMG! And a club. What a dipshit.

I mean truly, people like this need to be thinned from the heard. An abortion of human genetics is too complimentary a description.

[bitchkitty]

49. I would wait until dark,

then wrap his mailbox in a sheet and put a big klan hood on top of it.

Fucker - I feel sorry for the neighborhood.

[Gman]

51. Some people just have no class

[Blue Gardener]

60. Advertising his complete ignorance to the whole neighborhood!

In case anyone had any doubts, he has clarified his ignorance to everyone.

[bronxiteforever]

62. Homer Stokes: Those boys desecrated a burning cross!

Homer Stokes: These boys is not white! These boys is not white! Hell, they ain't even old timey!

Homer Stokes: The color guard is colored!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590/quotes

[Trajan]

63. Obama is a piece of cloth ?

What exactly is a 'half breed' fabric ?


I think the sign should stay up, myself .... nothing could be more beneficial for Obama than to have such idiots parade their foolishness like this ....

[Lucy Goosey]

79. I guess he's secretly 50% polyester.

:eyes:

[rateyes]

64. I don't know, Obama seems more tough denim than muslin to me.

What a pathetic loser. If I lived next door I'd put up a sign saying, "(Neighbors Name) half-assed white trash."

[Olney Blue]

66. Welcome to Bush and Rove's base.

He will probably be featured as an American hero on Fox news- you know, a free speech advocate.

[jamesatemple]

71. What would Obama do?

I don't know. But, I'm guessin' that he would encourage all Obama supporters in a several-block area to put up classy, properly-worded signs of support. I'm also willin' to bet that he would discourage any attempt to do anything to the old gent's sign or property. After all, the old fellow is entitled to advertise his ignorance and his choice. The contrast in signs would speak volumes to folks passing by.

Besides, bein' hateful to the Old Fart is the way Republicans and Fundy Christians would react. I hope we're better than that.

[kayell]

103. Excellent response

:thumbsup:

You're absolutely right. The old coot has a right to speak his "mind", and the only people who would possibly be convinced by that sign, already are. The contrast will have an affect on fence-sitters.

[leftchick]

68. interesting that they insist on repeatedly showing their blatant ignorance

I think they are proud of their bigotry, hate and stupidity. They also LIE so I do not believe he was ever a dem. What a piece of shit....

[LiberalEsto]

69. Muslin? Not percale?

And what's the thread count? 200?

[iamthebandfanman]

70. lol shes practically inviting people to do something to it

by making vacant threats and acting high and mighty...
see ya later yard sign

[Haole Girl]

74. "I got a club sitting right over there"

WTF? Is he a caveman?

(that was a rhetorical question)

[OffWithTheirHeads]

76. Could it be......................Satin?

nt

[Lucy Goosey]

81. Hee!

Good one.

:rofl:

[Doctor_J]

77. A Limbecile for sure

Too much hate radio and Fox "News"

[McCamy Taylor]

89. Correct response. "McCain is 100% Senile" sign. It comes down when the other comes down.

[classysassy]

93. KKK Scholar

this puke was too busy putting up sign,instead of learning to spell.An honor grad from David Duke college of hate.

[budkin]

95. Someone needs to take a club to this guy's head.

[Politicalboi]

96. Muslin?

Is that like Moran?

[SemperEadem]

97. Muslin is a cloth. Geeeeeez!!!!

[bluegreen aura]

100. Now what would really be sweet...

I wish this guy would have included something about McCain being a "MAVRICK" on the sign! That would have been icing on the frigging cake, LOL!

[road2000]

101. Cloth, for God's sake.

If I lived next door, I think I'd put up a sign: "My Neighbor's from a Poorer Cut of Cloth." And get firebombed, probably.

Chances are a good portion of his neighbors agree with him.

[Divine Discontent]

104. hey, that's my county! LOL love it... shows how ignorant and judgmental people are - leave it up

he helps Obama more than he hurts him. Of course, he may have have it ripped down from here on out, by young people that would come through the area, who are offended (or worse)

107. I got a club sitting right over there," Lacasse said."

The picture of Alley Oop came into my mind,but Alley was real smart unlike this guy!Then Ooola came to my mind and I started thinking about something else!

[minnesota_liberal]

122. Flaming arrow beats club

But I'd leave the sign alone. The misspelling says plenty about the idiot who created it.

[NoodleyAppendage]

112. Sounds like someone had some "half breeding" going on in his family...

...too bad it was between first cousins.

I can't blame the developmentally delayed too much for their stupidity.

J

[BreweryYardRat]

113. Goddamn, I thought it was satire at first.

This is so pathetic it's pitiful.

Since I'm not in the mood to waste time ranting about this subhuman racist bastard: Muslin fabric was originally developed in the city of Mosul, hence the name.

[minnesota_liberal]

114. My neighbor is a warped and biased loom

[minnesota_liberal]

115. McCain is madras as a hatter.

Keeping with the fabric (as in 'muslin') theme.

[knitter4democracy]

136. McCain is all Red Heart.

Nasty, crappy yarn that it is.

[minnesota_liberal]

116. Palin is an unqualified tartan.

[minnesota_liberal]

117. Bush is the worsted president ever.

[and-justice-for-all]

118. MUSLIN? What the hell is that??

If I lived near him, I would torch that fuckin sign!

[minnesota_liberal]

121. Classic sign! Right up there with 'Get a brain, moran!'

If someone torched the sign, the nitwit might check his spelling before putting up an even bigger version.

BTW, 'muslin' is a type of cotton fabric.

[and-justice-for-all]

134. I KNEW IT!

Obama is soft and warm! drat!

[Amonester]

119. ok, now that we know where one of these hypocrits is...

where R the other 59,054,086 stupidly irresponsible morans?

[nam78_two]

123. Note to all Repukes: http://www.dictionary.com is your friend

Not even going to bother to say how bigoted and reprehensible the thought processes behind signs like these are. Many of you seem to be fine with your bigotry so I guess there is no hope there...

[ngant17]

124. These people are frustrated for other reasons

Barefoot Bay got hit pretty hard by the recent slow-moving tropical storm Fay when it came thru and stalled in Brevard County, Fla. last August 20, 2008. Tornados and flooding, a lot of homes were damaged in that area, I suspect there is still a lot of water flooding in some places.

"At least nine Barefoot Bay homes were deemed uninhabitable shortly after a midafternoon tornado touched down in the state’s largest mobile-home park, damaging at least 51 homes, but causing only three minor injuries. Many in the snowbird community of 6,000 were gone for the summer."

Is this guy trailer-trash, or what? What do you expect when you live on low-lying barrier islands, neat the Indian River lagoon a short distance from the ocean.

Florida is basically a swamp under normal circumstances. This is a paradise for aquatic creatures like alligator, ducks and frogs.

Look on the bright side. I'm sure you'll soon find some real good deals on real estate there. Maybe you could even be Andy's neighbor. Wouldn't that be fun, living next to this partially-senile senior citizen? You too could be doing something as wholesome and productive, making up idiotic signs to put out in front of your flooded mobile home. While fighting off the occasional alligator or snake.

Actually, this guy needs help, seriously, by professionals. He's losing it pretty quickly, I'd say.

[ngant17]

125. It means that McSame has a good share of the 'white-trailer-trash' vote

and if you add up right-wing extremists, KKK/white racists, fundies, and illiterate southern rednecks, it could actually start to make a difference in the GE.

OTOH I'm not convinced that most women will go for Palin just because she is female.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

128. So he doesn't cotton to Obama?

Help me out here?

[KamaAina]

129. Good thing he has a firm command of our "offical" language.

:dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

[ngant17]

130. Technically the word "muslin" originates from Mosul, Iraq

according to my American Collegiate Dictionary. So the poor guy isn't really too far off from the semantics, it is nonetheless a silly attempt to maliciously slander Obama.

[Hekate]

137. If Obama is muslin blend, is Lacasse a white cotton sheet? nt

[regnaD kciN]

138. Now there's a charge made up out of whole-cloth...!

:rofl:

[chatnoir]

140. 'Muslin'? As in the fabric?

Knuckle-dragging troglodyte.

[chatnoir]

141. Half-breed 'muslin' sign + club = neanderthal

Whatever happened to Darwinism and the weeding out of such catastrophic human idiocy/trash?
Honest to God, this place is reminding me more and more every day of the movie 'Idiocracy'.

[booley]

143. Oh yes, please keep that sign up

So when we point out what bigoted idiots you are, we have proof at hand.

I am hardly the world's greatest speller. but really, if you are going to put up a sign for public display..SPELL CHECK!

[Crunchy Frog]

144. Nice to know there are still surviving Neanderthals.

[Raine]

148. Like anyone would mess with their sign

our side is not much into that, that's a reTHUG game. x(
