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.
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.
@Christopher get em!
mon88>obama is taking away our human rights
blackppl> bush did it 1st! lol silly rabbits
White People> You People Have Serious issues!!!!Get Over It!!!!HATERAIDE IS NOT GOOD FOR UUUUUU..
@koolaide 2501 damn there u go again poppin off stay on topic
girl bye
bush put us in this mess it took him 8 years to eff it up so its going to take 8+ to correct what he caused….PERIOD!!
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?
can we please get a post about the black girl that won gold last night and will also be competing in the finalist with 23 other olympians! thank you!
Yesss!!!! Her name is Gabby Douglas and I lived last night during her routines. I love her story everything about her screams "GOLD".
Disgusting!! How soon narrow minds forget – it was Bush that sent us to war!
That is so fucked up right I agree
wow ..childish people on Idaho…
its just plain disrespectful
smh….
This billboard should have every last president on the other side, not just Obama. People wake up.
true but lets deal with the asshole at present
NO I AGREE WITH Honey_Chile..LETS PUT UP THE PAST A-HOLES. U IDIOT.
@koolaide 2501 why we do that? that would take attention away from the present fact and even if we did your dear president has already decided NOT to prosecute any former presidents including bush who orchestrated 9/11 and hurricane katrina so what good would it do except take heat off of obama’s shoulder?!….get a clue asshole.
never!
Because of the obvious! Thats THEIR ethos!
Just shameful!!! Did they have the same billboard up with Bush flying a plane taking the troops over there??? Disrespectful to the president along with the families of those 12 people killed!!!
I HAD A DREAM ABOUT ME AND OBAMA THE OTHER NIGHT, I WAS LIKE DAMN I’M GOING TO FALL ASLEEP WATCHING THE NEWS HENCEFORTH.
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.
It’s Idaho…not surprised…
OKAY!!!
Its time to start beatin white people ass! Not all white people, its a lot of em cool people. But these racist mufukas – we gone start beatin they ass!!
Uhm…where was all this passion in the 8 years that Bush/Cheney were in office? I can’t with these ignorant fools.
Let me tell ya’ll something..THIS coming NOVEMBER is gonna be do or die. Rather than sit her on a blog going back and forth…get registered and VOTE!
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?
As one of my family members would say, "You can’t throw a rock, and then hide your hand"
??????
who cares about treatment the billboard is 100% accurate
Unbelievable!
????omg!
They and their whole inbred clan would be killed and be made an example of , if only they had disrespected a commander in chief of another country.
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.
all i have to say is it took him 8 years to get us into this MESS, so its going to take 8 years if not more to correct what he started,LEAVE Obama alone!!
