  • WTF?!? Obama Aurora Comparison Billboard Causes Controversy… [PHOTO]

    Jul, 30 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Over the weekend a billboard sprung up in Idaho that caused a stir amongst Idaho residents.

    The display asks why “everyone freaks out” when James Holmes kills 12 people, but the world gives President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize after he “kills thousands with foreign policy.”

    The billboard, located in Caldwell, Idaho, features a picture of Aurora Theatre shooting suspect Holmes, accompanied with the text “Kills 12 in a movie theater with assault rifle, everyone freaks out.” Juxtaposed is a picture of Obama, with the text: “Kills thousands with foreign policy, wins Nobel Peace Prize.

    Maurice Clements, part of a group who honor the memory of Libertarian Ralph Smeed, says the group is angry over Obama not bringing the troops home.

    “We’re all outraged over that killing in Aurora, Colo., but we’re not outraged over the boys killed in Afghanistan,” Clements said. (source)

    According to the group, which has previously paid to display other anti-Obama messages on the same billboard, they placed the message there to remind Americans of Obama’s promise to bring home the troops—a promise the group says has been broken.

    For the record, residents of the area have have called the billboard “abhorrent,” but the message still remains.

    The billboard is in very poor taste but remember those monkey t-shirts they were selling out in Marietta? Yeah… it’s about to get real since the election is coming up soon.

    Can you recall any other president who has had to endure such blatant disrespect?

    Why do you think they pick on Barack so much?

      Bush comes to mind even though he doesn’t look like the almighty beloved B.O.But I guess because its a president with brown color skin it should be a big deal..

        Lol for real… He may not have started the more infamous/well known Iraq & Afghanistan wars, but he sure has continued on down the same path, while also getting troops involved in Libya, Pakistan and other places… Left guantanemo open and re-signed the patriot act after vowing to end both… Signed the NDAA which allows indefinite detention of American citizens… but he’s democrat and he’s black… so let’s just turn our heads the other way. Sheepish people. Lupe seems to be one of the few people in the hip-hop world who has a truly unbiased view of what’s going on.

      This is disrespectful! More than anything it’s disrespectful to the 12 people that died, the 58 people that were wounded, and the families and friends of those people! Don’t use this tragedy as a way to defame or demean the President. I guess the person that put this up is anonymous, huh?

      The difference is people sign up to be in the military they don’t sign up to be slaughtered in a movie theater.

      Obama had to finish what bush started. And some troops have come home. Those people are idiots

      Tiffany stated it! There is a big difference between a volunteer soldier in the armed forces and a movie theater packed with innocent civilians. If anything, I find this disrespectful to the casualties of the shooting moreso than the President.

      So what about Bush? He sent all of us up a waterfall with no paddle or a boat. Lied his way through everything, talked so much shit that bin laden was capping our asses based off the shit and threats he said “duck duck goose with bullets”. Messed up the office for 8yrs said fuck you all and left. Not to mention during an interview he stated another reason we’re at war is to get back at whoever tried to kill his daddy. Excuse me, thats sounds like a personal peoblem. Families in the US and everywhere else have issues and folks trying to harm them, we whip ass in the street, possibly exchange bullets. Then, go on our mary way to fight another day. NOT bring all of the miltary to fight our battles that we ant fight ourselves. You could of learned that from J. Holiday “Thug Commandments” …”act right if you know you can’t fight.”

      What people fail to realize you come into this game wanting to change everyones dirty diapers, graduate folks to adulthood then attend the University of Common Sense. BUT, you have to clean up the bs, someone else behind. In 8yrs you can mess up a lot with no pressure.

      Some of the troops that were sent overseas during the Bush era have already been sent back to their homes in the U.S.

      Also, where is the name of the organization that sponsored this billboard?

      Those twelve people didnt go to the movies to be killed by a psychopath, they were their wanting to watch a movie and enjoy themselves. He took away their lives because of the evil that was driving him to kill. As for our troops, they sign on to protect our country, even if it means to sacrafice their life. I know that because they are our loved ones that they should come home and stay away from war. But our troops had a choice to serve, those twelve people that got killed at the movie theater didnt, someone chose to take their lives. Comparing that psychopath to Obama is a disgrace to the United States and to our American troops. The sign should be destroyed!!!!

      Broke his promise? How? When? What I miss? I know Obama said he was bringing everyone home and guess what, he is! Just because everyone didn’t pack up and leave all in the same day doesn’t mean that the plan isn’t still in effect. It was a process in getting the troops over there and now it’s a process in bringing them home. These assholes are in Idaho. What more can we expect from them? But of course this isht gets national attention because of the blatant disrespect to our CIC. He didn’t send them over there. Yet he’s to blame that they’re still there? GTFOHWTBS! The military will ALWAYS be present in the middle east and southwest asia. They’ve been there for DECADES! That won’t change.
