Let's list all the black presidents who signed Healthcare bills...
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 12:23 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
"Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church and a local Pennsylvania amusement company are being investigated by the Secret Service after they created a likeness of the president to use as a shooting target in a carnival midway game."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8884948&mesg_id=8884948


The target is a crudely drawn black gentleman wearing a suit. His belt buckle is the Presidential Seal. He has a rolled up document in his hand labeled "Health Bill."



On TV the carnival operator said that he didn't understand why anyone would think the target represented President Obama and that the association had never crossed his mind (!) before people complained about it.

I agree. It could represent any of the dozens of American Presidents who have been black men associated with a Healthcare bill.

1. Maybe it was
just too much trouble to make effigies of white presidents who did not sign a health care bill.

2. I'd suggest the carnival director look up the word "disingenuous", but...
That would require teaching him to read, first. Still, time well spent!

3. Note the crosshairs over his heart and between the eyes.
Fucking sickening.

Like a recurring nightmare you thought had finally vanished... just when you thought it was safe to sleep again... :puke:

9. Keeping it classy as usual
Thankfully this sort of ignorance alienates most people.

11. The tolerance and compassion of the Catholic church on full display.
And it's so nice to know they care about American's getting access to health care. I guess Jesus was just kidding when he preached forgiveness, love and compassion.

14. It would be sad if the IRS, FBI and DOJ crawled up this guy's ass ...
Actually, no ... I would not be sad at all. I'd love it.

They should crawl up his ass with a microscope.

They should interview every employee he has every had. Interview every relative he has. Interview the bank that loans him money. Interview his accountant. Examine his email and phone records for connections to domestic terrorism.

They should interview the minister of his church. And the full congregation.

And put him on the terrorist watch list.

15. That was inappropriate.
Whether it be Obama, or any other president, this kind of crap can incite violence and should not be allowed.

:thumbsdown:
