VICIOUS Anti-Obama BILLBOARD Stirs Up Controversy

[Segami]

A billboard near Dallas says, “The Seals removed one threat to America. Remove the other in November.” The controversy is that Osama Bin Laden, referring to the threat the Seals removed, is now dead, and some people feel that comparing state-sanctioned elimination of a terrorist with removing a president from office was going too far.


It should also be noted that Admiral William McRaven, the commander of Seal Team Six, has indicated that Obama is responsible for the death of bin Laden, saying, “Well, let me make one thing clear, I didn’t order the raid. And this is not a small point. The fact of the matter is, it was the President of the United States that ordered the raid.”



The creator of the billboard, Tom Schad, should probably give credit where credit is due.


If you would like to change that, they are TerryCo Outdoor Advertising, based in Gainesville, Texas. They can be reached at [phone]. If you file a complaint, please do not try to offend the company. They offer a service, and if they declined on grounds of political affiliation it would be wrong. Just complain about the billboard.

1. their insanity would make more sense had Obama actually acted like a Socialist(?) in his first term

He didnt sign over our sovereignty to the UN like they talk about. He didnt round anyone up to put into a FEMA camp somewhere. He didnt take our guns, enslave white people, enact Sharia Law....

Their threats are weak because he's been a NORMAL President to date.

[Segami]

4. Where were they HIDING when the shrub was in office for EIGHT LONG, RUTHLESS YEARS?

How come they didn't come out and speak out then?

[Curmudgeoness]

23. I ask every one of them that question

every chance I get. I never get an answer. Amazing how they all woke up the day that a black man who was a Democrat won the presidency. When I get no answers, all I can think about it that they should crawl back into that hole they crawled out of.

[WinstonSmith4740]

71. I made the mistake of trying that.

It was with someone I work with...actually a very nice person, but just bat-shit crazy in her politics. Basically, her argument is that we're not allowed to bring up Bush, because we're supposed to look forward, not back, just like Obama says. Just kept repeating it, and wouldn't answer or allow me to ask the question. I think there must be an on-line class or something they take that teaches them how never to vary from the talking point.

[Curmudgeoness]

79. Yes, they certainly do not stray from the talking points.

But that is probably a good idea for them, independent thinking and analysis are above their pay scale.

[cstanleytech]

84. Well, a few years ago I would have argued with you over that and I probably would have

said that they arent that bad and that things could be worse because atleast they are smarter than say a chimp but those 8 years of Chim.............err Bush *cough* *cough* kinda killed that.

[cstanleytech]

83. You forgot the other part of that which is

"we're not allowed to bring up Bush, because we're supposed to look forward, not back, just like Obama says until a real natural born citizen who is a Christian (and not a secret muslim) god fearing, white, anglo-saxon, male republican is in office in which case we are supposed to only look back but only as far as the last time a democrat was in office." or atleast thats the way I have interpreted alot of the insane, irrational rantings republicans have been making.

[Gabby Hayes]

92. Some of them were too scared of the Bush Family

Thanks for posting that, Segami. It's good to keep up with the whereabouts of loonies in these parts. Their cowardice shows in their timing, though. They found it easy to threaten Clinton and now Obama. During the Dubya Disaster, they were sometimes bold when making anonymous posts and calls to radio shows, but I don't remember any signs remotely similar to the one in your link because they know the Bushes don't mind spilling blood. They still try and blame Clinton for the Branch Davidian raid, when in fact they know full well the probe began during old man Bush's rule and the raid was carried out by leftovers from his administration. There's a popular theory that Koresh burned down the place out of sheer fright. I don't think McVeigh (and Elohim City) would have had the nerve to carry out the OKC bombing while a Bush was in office either. Or Reagan for that matter. The Indianapolis (Indiana) Baptist Temple investigation was ordered by Reagan, and one of his federal court appointees turned down the church's final appeal right at the end of Clinton's second term. Several of the most violent militias in the country were preparing to head to Indianapolis to keep the IRS from seizing the church until they found out the seizure orders would not be carried out until after Dubya took office. I don't recall hearing a peep out of them during the rest of Dubya's terms.

I'm talking about events you already know about, but some other readers may not be aware of them. I've had the strange fortune or misfortune of knowing a lot of these characters and they become bold and dangerous if they smell fear and think public opinion might be on their side. That's why these types of signs are dangerous. More than anything else they may be trying to "inspire" a passerby to do their dirty work. I've talked long enough. Thanks for the post.

[spanone]

8. it's Obama's race, not his policies.

no other explanation

[patrice]

13. Precisely. & The Tea Party is making sure that racism is the answer to all of "our" problems.

Here is some longitudinal research on the racist groups that produced the Tea Party, that is, it's research that was underway for some years, watching race issues and hate groups, observed the emergence of the Tea Party. I think there's a count of the aggregate size of the various groups, including the Tea Party, here:

[nanabugg]

56. All people with a brain know this. They are lying when they tell you different so it's a waste of

time and energy to keep pointing this out as I am finding out.

[JDPriestly]

98. Note that the two soldiers in the billboard picture have Caucasian features.

I can't be sure about their race, but they look white to me. Can anyone else see that better than I can?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

[heaven05]

38. not weak

the national news/social media are giving these idiots power. Where are the anti-racist/teaparty/nazi demonstration(s) by all the 'decent' americans? NONE!!!

[progressivebydesign]

64. their hate started the day he was elected. They didn't even wait to see what he did. n/t

[maxrandb]

2. Maybe

the threat they are talking about is the crazy-ass "cheetoe stained penis" Teabagging asshats in the House and Senate.

Now there's an "enemy" that needs to be wiped from our collective ass!

[Politicalboi]

3. Assholes

Did the SEALS decide when and where. If they failed, who would they blame? Assholes, they make all SEALS look bad.

[Segami]

5. That they do!!

[Plucketeer]

41. That was MY first thought.

Who/How would Osama's dispatch have happened without the Chain of Command??? Friggin' dull-witted idiots!

[progressivebydesign]

66. So Carter got blamed for the failed rescue mission in Iran, but Pres. Obama gets no credit?

that's why the GOp are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Had the mission failed, and any of the troops been harmed... President Obama would have been impeached, no doubt. Or at least the MSM and the GOP would spend their days trashing him, as they did with Carter. But because it was successful, it was apparently through no leadership of his. Unreal.

[Doc Holliday]

80. This needs to be hammered home to the non-vet chickenhawks sometimes.

Every soldier, sailor and marine is familiar with Murphy's Law and its many corollaries.

The OBL raid could very easily have Barack Obama's Desert One. Does anyone doubt for a moment that this Republican-controlled House would fail to reap that whirlwind? I mean, look how fulsome their praise has been for this accomplishment. No, really.



I believe that the actual death of OBL was a psychologically important event for a lot of registered voters. I have to question the guy who came up with the concept for the billboard-- trying to take an Obama victory and twist it into a call for his defeat seems a little weird and counter-intuitive to me. Plus, as a vet I am a little pissed off about the use of images of soldiers in uniform and combat gear being used for crass political purposes-- to help elect a guy who has studiously avoided wearing any of this country's uniforms. (The Magic Underwear doesn't count.)

[SickOfTheOnePct]

6. The billboard is ridiculous because it equates President Obama and Osama bin Laden

It's ridiculous because it implies that President Obama is threat to the nation.

And while President Obama did order the raid, it was the SEALS that actually took bin Laden out. The sign does give credit where credit is due.

I don't have an issue with that part of the sign, but I do with the next part.

[awoke_in_2003]

51. they have been doing that for four years...

why do you think they love to say Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

[The Wielding Truth]

60. The word "remove" like Osama Bin Laden with weapons drawn is a threat to the President.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

61. You're free to have that opinion

I don't happen to share it.

I see it as rude and disrespectful, but not as a threat. YMMV.

[rfranklin]

72. People have been severely punished for lesser threats...

what land are you from that showing a gun and talking about eliminating the President is not serious?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

73. And do you have a cite to prove your point?

I'd be very interested in seeing where someone was punished for something that was less severe than this.

You're free to believe it's a threat if you choose, and I'm free to believe it's just an insulting billboard.

[rfranklin]

75. Here you go...

"I said that God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," Humphreys, 50, later testified in federal court. "I thought it was funny. It was prophetizing."

Knowing President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit nearby Sioux Falls the next day, a bartender reported Humphreys' comment to local police, claiming that Humphreys alluded to the possibility of someone pouring a flammable liquid on the president and lighting it. Local police took Humphreys into custody at his Sioux Falls motel just hours before Bush arrived.

Unfortunately for Humphreys, the humor was lost on U.S. Attorney Michael Ridgeway. "It wasn't a joke," Ridgeway told the federal jury a year and a half later. "It wasn't funny. Simply put, it was a threat." As evidence, Ridgeway pointed to a transcript from an Internet chat room where Humphreys wrote, "now going to ask Bush for justice, and if I don't get it don't be surprised to see a burning Bush."
http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-1622-no_laughing_matter.html

[SickOfTheOnePct]

76. You call that less of a threat than a billboard?

"now going to ask Bush for justice, and if I don't get it don't be surprised to see a burning Bush."

That can obviously be seen as a threat.

A billboard that shows soldiers and references SEALS, and November (a clear indication that the "removal" would be at the ballot box) may be obvious to you, but it certainly isn't to me. Some people choose to find the most sinister meaning possible, and others don't. You're obviously the former, while I am the latter.

As I said to a previous poster, I'm not interested in changing your mind, and there is no way you're going to change mine, so I see no need to discuss it any further.

Have a nice night.

[The Wielding Truth]

95. How did you feel about the Sarah Palin's gun-sight map?

Seems the same to me. It's drawing out assassination as a solution.

It's not responsible to compare the killing of Bin-laden to the reelection of our president.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

96. I didn't see a problem with Palin's gun-sight map

It wasn't the first time it was done, and it won't be the last.

IMO, it's all hyperbole...nothing more, nothing less.

[JDPriestly]

99. Credit is due to both the Seals and Obama.

Gallup polled to find out whether respondents knew which branch of the military had killed Bin Laden.

I bet I was one of the few who did.

Americans just don't pay attention. They are too busy watching sports and reading about the latest on their TV idols.

That is not Obama's fault.

[CJCRANE]

7. IIRC quite a few Republicans were against the idea of a raid to get Bin Laden

inside Pakistan.

Let's see if this group condemns them...

[Cha]

9. It was the President and the SEALS...they both got bin

laden.

"It should also be noted that Admiral William McRaven, the commander of Seal Team Six, has indicated that Obama is responsible for the death of bin Laden, saying, “Well, let me make one thing clear, I didn’t order the raid. And this is not a small point. The fact of the matter is, it was the President of the United States that ordered the raid.”

The poor brainwashed teabag idiots can't stand that PBO made it a priority and went after getting bin laden when their little "hero" bush wouldn't dare..and the SEALS followed orders and went into the compound. Not so fucking complex but, very daring!

[treestar]

21. And you sure know Cha who would be blamed had there been a failure!

Notice the failed mission to Iran was President Carter's fault! Interesting co-incidence! It wasn't the Marines' fault!

[Cha]

27. Exactly right treestar...

They can back way the fuck off. Their psych ops on facts don't cut it..ever again.

[The Wielding Truth]

57. Irrational babies! Do we know who put this up?

[proud patriot]

10. should the secret service be informed ?

weapons are in the picture

[Segami]

11. I have forwarded this article to the WH. They are now aware of this billboard.

I imagine the SS already had a heads up on this.

[proud patriot]

22. Thanks

[Cha]

28. Gracias, Segami!

[Zoeisright]

33. Report it to the FBI.

https://tips.fbi.gov/

[Capt. Obvious]

12. I'll keep an eye on this thread

eventually someone(s) will pop in to say it's not a big deal, both sides do it, etc.

[ejbr]

14. Wow...I wonder if Texas will now go for Romney... useless. n/t

[Beartracks]

15. "declined on grounds of political affiliation"

Didn't I just hear that billboard companies in Tampa declined to rent space to some atheist group during the Teapublican National Convention?

===================

[dmallind]

62. That's ok. Veiled revolutionary death threats are less troublesome than people without god beliefs

Those bastards who tell people that atheists exist and are normal people are dangerous you know.

[MrSlayer]

16. I agree. The Bagger congress has got to go.

They truly are a threat to America. Far bigger than OBL ever was.

[SunSeeker]

17. Al Qa-ida would approve.

Al Qa-ida would be really happy if Obama was "removed"--he's decimated them, unlike the incompetent Bush administration. This billboard gives a lot of "aid and comfort" to our enemies.

[LaydeeBug]

18. k & r nt

[rocktivity]

19. Honestly, I don't have a problem with it

The Seals removed the "first" threat on Obama's watch. So there's only one way to interpret the "second" threat: To KEEP Obama on watch, vote against Romney in November!


rocktivity

[awoke_in_2003]

52. I live in DFW...

and guarantee that most aren't interpreting it that way.

[fascisthunter]

24. that is inciting a coup, no?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

29. You're not being serious are you? n/t

[fascisthunter]

32. taking out an elected president with guns?

are you blind? or politically compromised?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

34. Neither

I'm just able to interpret a sign that mentions taking out the President in November as referencing the election, whereas the weapons are carried by troops representing the SEALS taking out bin Laden.

[geardaddy]

46. That's the excuse they'll use.

They'll say, "where did we say we wanted to kill the president?"

The sign is intentially blurring the line between taking out a known terrorist and taking out a sitting president by force.

Don't be so gullible.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

53. Choosing not to be reactive is not the same as being gullible

Some people choose to look for the most heinous, worst possible interpretation in everything they see, read or hear. Just because I don't do that doesn't mean I'm gullible.

[geardaddy]

55. The point is...

what is the intention of this billboard. I don't see a difference between this and putting a target on a politician's head.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

58. You're free to see it however you wish

I see it as a poor attempt to compare President Obama to bin Laden, and say that since they're the same, President Obama needs to be voted out, hence the reference to November.

[geardaddy]

65. There's the link.

You just said it. They're trying to compare OBL to President Obama. So, the SEALs voted out OBL?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

67. Of course not

But I guess the reference to November, and the fact that there will be a Presidential election doesn't mean vote him out?

Like I said, you're free to interpret it in whatever way you choose, as am I. You choose a more sinister interpretation than I do, but that's your right.

I'm not trying to change your mind, and there is no way you'll change mine, so it's pretty pointless to continue this discussion.

Have a nice day.

[geardaddy]

68. No problem.

Let's agree to disagree.

[frylock]

77. was osama bin laden voted out of office?

so far it appears you're the only one not seeing the link here. but it's everybody else that's wrong.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

78. I think you need to read the rest of the thread

As there are others that also don't see it as something that needs to be reported to the Secret Service or don't see it as a big deal.

Also, I'm not saying anyone else is wrong - I'm saying that I don't see it as a threat. It's all opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Some people default to seeing the most sinister meaning, and some people don't. You're obviously the former, and I'm the latter.

[VWolf]

49. Google "stochastic terrorism" n/t

[pinto]

54. The visual is pretty suggestive, imo. Often that's all that some see.

Especially from a "drive-by" message - which is a billboard.

[heaven05]

36. yes

You are right, but people are very afraid to comprehend/or recognize the racial hate and evil of a large segment of this society.

[snappyturtle]

44. I agree. It seems as if everytime I'm out and about I hear the deep hatred or

see it on bumper stickers. The billboard has sent a clear message. The Seals could have been pictured without their rifles.

edit: I live in TX.

edit: Checked out the videos. Seems the phone number is no longer functioning. Maybe they weren't telling the truth about not receiving any complaints OR that the incitement was too much.

*UPDATE* It appears their phone number (or any we can find) no longer work. Instead, you can write a letter to the following address: 5240 East USHighway 82
Gainesville, TX 76240

[mrbill]

70. the google fairy sez the phone number for terryco is 940-668-2966

Terryco doesn't appear to be a major outdoor advertising player.

According to the Cooke County Apprasial District, Terryco (po box 608, Gainesville, Texas 76240) has one billboard located at 608 North I-35, which is near exit 482. The current owners have had it for about seven years and the appraisal is about $7000 with property taxes about 3% of that.

They may have thousands of billboards in other counties and states but looks like a mom and pop operation.

TJ Schad might be a local character.

[Tx4obama]

25. In 2008 Obama won the most votes in Dallas, Houston, Austin, El Paso, San Antonio, etc.

Over 3.5 MILLION Texans voted for Obama.

Not everyone down here is crazy

[jsr]

26. The Tea Party billboard in Elkhart, Indiana:

[AlbertCat]

30. Way to respect the Commander and Chief of the Seals....

The only real threat to this country is STUPID IGNORANCE.

I say take 1/3 of the DOD budget and use it entirely for schools and education.

[Kolesar]

85. That F-35 program needs to be axed

Plus missile defense, one carrier fleet and that amphibious ship that the Navy has been working on forever.

[Dkc05]

31. where is the DOJ. take them down.

It the DOJ won't take em down the we need to at night. What happened to the stop the lies web site.

[heaven05]

35. beyond comprehension

all this evil racist hate because enlightened and hopeful people voted for a president with melanin in his skin. my god this country is a sad, sad commentary on racial intolerance and hate in the eyes of the world. cnn.com, 8-23-2012, 'texas county judge asking for well trained and equipped people to join a force to battle u.n. troops that Obama will call in when they, the good white christians of Texas revolt against the reelection of our current President. A judge my god!!! veiled threats and open threats. the minute a person spat at the thought of junior bushmonkey and his cohort cheney , they were sent to gitmo for water torture. All this sedition must be dealt with and soon

[ChoppinBroccoli]

37. I Just Assumed The "Threat" They Want Removed In Nov. Is Rmoney

When you don't give specifics, your statements are open to interpretation.

Kinda like when I went to a funeral several years ago and the church had a bulletin board in the lobby with the words, "Pray for these people" at the top and several pictures of various people below. One of the pictures was Bush. It upset me at first, but then I just had to laugh when I realized that there was another possible interpretation.

[rockingirl]

81. I don't usually do this

but I'm calling bullshit on this one! Or maybe, and it's a stretch, that is where an assumption will take you? Perhaps you are on the wrong site? Frankly I'm amazed by your assumption. I caught it all immediately as I think most here did.

[Arugula Latte]

39. Secret Service -- pay these a-holes a visit pronto!

[Odin2005]

40. Get the secret service on their asses!

[leftyohiolib]

42. “The Seals removed one threat to America" yes they did UNDER OBAMA no republican could find him

[madrchsod]

47. no republican wanted to find him

they needed the guy alive to keep the people afraid of the shadow on the wall.

[Skittles]

43. try not to offend the company???

they have an obligation not to advertise death treats against the president

[Vinca]

45. The sign needs "Vote Democratic" in red spray paint.

[The Wielding Truth]

63. Yes. Al quaida and the anti-government Teabag Republicans are both threats to America.

However, I wouldn't wish anyone to think that killing them like Osama bin Laden would be my intent.

[TeamPooka]

48. mass delusion in action

[MyOwnPeace]

50. Show the "W" tape............

you know, the one where "W" says that he didn't care about OBL or trying to find him.

And that's their hero?

By the way, what night does "W" give a speech at their convention?

[jmowreader]

88. He doesn't

There was a huge thing a few weeks ago, where Bush said he wasn't going to speak at the RNC.

On our side of the aisle, Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States, will give the nominating speech for President Obama.

[elbloggoZY27]

59. Disrespectful

The President is the Commander in Chief.

As a Navy Vietnam Veteran this is repulsive and inexcusable rhetoric.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

69. The "other threat" is Romney/Ryan.

[DaveJ]

74. meh -- that's not their important tactic

Note, I've never written "meh" before, since I find the word incredibly irritating. But this ad is perfectly appropriate for it.

We have limitless media outlets, one little billboard (or thousands) is not going to change anything. Swiftboating is not going to win it this year.

People are more cognative now. They seem to be responding to statistics this year, nevermind whether they are fake. Republicans have been on a campaign creating elaborate and confusing statistics sprinkled with false numbers that nobody can understand but nevertheless sound convincing. That's where the real threat lies.

[stuntcat]

82. wow

okay there's no un-seeing this. I'm so ashamed of humanity, it's just horrifying, we're a pathetic species right now.

[Jamaal510]

86. Ugliness like this is exactly why I never want to be president.

I mean sure, it would be cool for me to express myself publicly and try to enact more policies that would get the country moving in a more leftward direction again like nationwide marijuana legalization and Canadien-style health care. But after seeing all this vitriol that Obama has had to endure, I could never do it. I'd lose my mind within the first month and be paranoid for my life. It's absurd how much hatred Obama has experienced from GOPhers since Day 1, just because the color of his skin. They always try to deny that there's racism involved, but how do you explain some of the reasons why they've been out to trash him? For example, many of them continue to call him a socialist while utilizing socialist services like public highways and police departments. They say he wants to take away people's guns, despite him never proposing any gun control measures. They said he wants to "enslave white people." And they continue to claim he's a foreigner, despite repeated displays of his birth certificate. I think you can do the math here, folks.

If there's any threat that needs to be removed from America, it's the entire Republican party. They have no new beneficial policies to offer the working-class or the rest of America, and all they do is spread misinformation in order to maintain the status quo and keep the 99% fighting amongst ourselves.

[DeSwiss]

87. All it needed was one little improvement......

[The Wizard]

89. More proof

Republicans have been taken over by short peckered jerkoffs.

[Initech]

90. Yeah let's remove the other threat - the tea party.

They've done more damage to America than any terrorist cell could ever dream of. They're the real threat to this country.

[Scootaloo]

91. Are you fucking kidding me?

...I got nothin'. Speechless.

[bupkus]

93. This is pure KKKarl Rove

Strike your opponent's strength.

bin Laden went free for eight years under Bush/Cheney/Rove.

President Obama ordered the Seal raid that got bin Laden so the Republicans twist that victory into a comparison of Obama and bin Laden as equal threats to the USA.

Sick, sick fucking minds at work here and the worst part of it is; there are more than enough Americans who are stupid enough to fall for it.

[Catherine Vincent]

94. That is so wrong

And the guy doesn't see anything wrong with it? What a liar.

[JDPriestly]

97. It's like saying the Marines took Iwo Jima. The president is the enemy.

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous.

Unless the Navy Seals commander wants to run for president, and after a lifetime of service in the military, that is probably the last thing he wants to do when he gets to retire with a pension.
