Teabagger billboard in Colorado: There Are Four Obamas - gay, gangster, terrorist, and

illegal immigrant.

Here is the grand unifying theory of Obama for wingnuts. Look, they never have to fight anymore about whether Obama is a Muslim terrorist, a Chicago gangster, a Messican illegal immigrant, or a flamboyant gay. He’s all four of those things, because there are secretly four Obamas! THAT’S how Obama can hijack airplanes in New York and have anal sex with a dude in San Francisco at the same time.

Here’s a full rundown:

The billboard’s tagline, “Vote DemocRAT–Join the game,” is littered with every conceivable meme that has been leveled at President Barack Obama as four iterations of the President–as Muslim/Terrorist, Nazi/Fascist and gangster, Communist/open borders supporter, and a supporter of gay rights–play cards, ostensibly “gamble” with the Statue of Liberty, a figure of blindfolded Justice, the Holy Bible, an American soldier, Uncle Sam, and a bald eagle. As they play, grinning vultures bearing the labels “$oro$” and a blue U.N. helmet look on, while several rats lurk from below, variously labeled “trial lawyer,” “IRS,” “EPA,” and “FED.”

The billboard itself lacks the shoulder badges emblazoned with the Muslim crescent and star, the swastika, and the hammer-and-sickle that appear to either have been part of the original picture, or were added later.

Makes sense! This will definitely influence voters. Good thing on which to spend one’s money.

The tea party patriots love to spout off about God and country, but they are too morally bankrupt to speak sensibly on either subject. Yet another racist anti-Obama billboard has appeared along our nation’s highways. This time it’s in Colorado and the tea party artist manages to hit a trifecta of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, religious bigotry and outright hate. The billboard, looming above I-70B depicts vile cartoonish caricatures of President Obama, as a homosexual, a Muslim terrorist with bombs strapped to his chest, an illegal Mexican immigrant wearing an oversize sombrero and a mobster. The words, “Vote DemocRat, Join the Game” are emblazoned across the top of the billboard. The artist, Paul Snover a local member of the tea party group, Campaign for Liberty and a frequent contributor to ResistNet, the Internet hangout for disaffected right-wingers, defends his racist garbage on free speech grounds, saying his intention was to inject “humor” into the elections “to get people to think.” Oh, really Paul? The offensive images on the billboard are designed to get people to do anything else but “think.” The anti-Obama billboard is meant to stoke fear and hate and appeal to the ugliest basest human instincts. God and country doesn’t enter into it.

“Artist Paul Snover says his billboard depicts the Statue of Liberty and the Constitution being gambled with as well as other aspects of patriotism Americans highly regard.”

Snover says he was paid $500 for his racist images masquerading as art, by a fellow tea party “patriot” who opposes President Obama.

“He doesn’t care for what Obama is doing for the country and wanted to get that across to the people of Grand Junction and possibly around the country,” said Snover.
