I just saw the most bizarre anti-obama thing

I work in Foxboro, MA. I stepped out to get a drink and drove past the local CVS. On the sidewalk outside was a table with paperwork of some kind surrounded by posters saying things like "get rid of Obama" and the old tired Obama with a hitler mustache one. It was really teabagger, birther type crap.

The shocking part was that the table was being set up by two people..........not old white guys....

Young college age guys and one was African American.

I want to think they just REALLY needed a summer job and some asshole koch brothers group is paying them.

WTF.......

they like to set up their crazy zones where ever they can get the most people walking by.

Those LaRouche followers are even more cultist than Paul supporters. I somehow got on a mailing list of theirs back during the lead up to the Iraq War (I attended a lot of anti-war rallies) and they would not stop calling me no matter what I said or did. I continued to receive phone calls for years. It finally stopped when, in 2007 or so, I changed my number. Every week, for essentially almost five years, I received a call from his supporters.

I've seen similar set-ups a couple of times while driving home from work. (In Burlington, MA)

I've seen them everywhere. They set up in front of the Post Office in Wakefield often. People basically just ignore them now.

My boyfriend gives them hell everytime he sees them there. The police were close by once and told not to cause a disturbance, but even they get a kick out of what he was saying!

My first thought was that it was college kids who needed a summer job REALLY bad.

in all ethnicities and ages. It's just that most of them are white and over 50.

Do get pictures and find out if they are here on a sponsored summer job from some goon squad.
