This is over the top. While I do not like Obama, or his policies - this does is not helpful

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - Call it Freedom of Speech. A billboard recently erected in Wheat Ridge compares President Barack Obama to a terrorist and questions his U.S. citizenship.

The billboard, located at 4855 Miller Road, shows two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a Muslim turban and reads "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?"

It also says "BIRTH CERTIFICATE - PROVE IT!" alluding to the conspiracy theory which claims Barack Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, which would disqualify him for the office of President.

The words "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" appear on the bottom of the billboard.

The sign belongs to a car dealership.

"Since Fort Hood, I've had it," owner Phil West told FOX 31 News Friday. "You can't suggest things. You can't profile. You gotta call a spade a spade."

"Everything I have read about Mr. Obama points right to the fact that he is a Muslim. And that is the agenda of what Muslim is all about. It's about anti-American, it's about anti-Christianity," West said.

The Anti-Defamation League condemned the sign, as did AM760 radio host David Sirota, who discussed the sign and interviewed West on his program Friday morning.

"It's out of control," Sirota said. "This conservative hatred of Barack Obama is out of contol, and this brings together all those strands of it: the racism, the anti-Muslim fervor. It's one thing to criticise the president on health care, or Wall Street reform, or immigration. But this is outrageous. And I think it's a fair question to ask why these questions about religion and ancestry are being directed so viciously at the first African-American President of the United States."

I see nothing wrong with that billboard. It's free speech. Anyone doesn't like what it says, tough shit. During the Bush years the libs did a hell of a lot more than that. It's time they got some of their own medicine.

Conservatives can take the low road and still be far above the libs.

Sure it is free speech, but it does not help in bringing attention to the disaster this administration has been

Personally I don't have a problem with it.
Its just an American pissed off about watching his country going down the drain and feeling helpless to do anything about it. If there was actual journalism with exposure to this presidents radical agenda that would be different. If there was a congress that listened to its constituents instead of selling their votes to the highest bidder that too would be different as well.
This guy just found a peaceful way to vent his anger and frustration.

If it gets the attention it's worth it. The media is not going to give us any truths. No matter what is done the media will play it as a bunch of radicals, or ignore the story completely. It's a no win situation and continuing to be Mr. Niceguy won't change that.

Obama coddles our enemies and has spent 1.5 million dollars in legal fees to keep his Birth Certificate and other documents from public scrutiny.

What are we suppose to believe with these kind of actions from our commander and chief?

Where's the transparency?...I am not a republican and I want to see it.
