Unbelievable. Just horrible.

From the article at Daily Kos:

When Minnesota resident Jeff Gullickson:

posted a doctored image of Mr. Obama’s famous campaign poster, instead showing the president with his head in a noose, his eyes closed and his neck appearing broken as if he had been lynched

... to Twitter in response to President Obama's first tweet from his brand-new account, he netted himself nationwide attention, a visit from the Secret Service, was fired from his automotive job, and permanently etched his own name into the pantheon of the internet's famous Obama-era racist nutcases. This upsets him.
