Who or what is IMDB? Internet Movie Data Base. A huge, huge, site. Boards, info on every movie and there are general boards for everything in between. There is even a Michael Vick messageboard. You’d have to register first if you want to put in your two-cents worth. I’ve been there for years.
Most demonstrating signs have a picture of some sort. It helps deliver the message. I’m sure if it had been pro-Obama the police officer wouldn’t have said a word. And any police officer that has been trained will tell you you can’t arrest someone for “trespassing’ simply because somebody may not like the sign you are carrying. And he did say he would arrest the man for “something” if not trespassing. And what he said was, “It ain’t no more, OK?“
Anything suggesting Obama is not perfect will result in being branded a racist? Note it is “not perfect” as opposed to criticism. Wow. That is really wacko.
And who or what is IMDB?
So I did see the video about the police officer. Surely you must know that every police officer, teacher, etc. does not always know the rules about such things. What caused him to say “this isn’t America anymore”, is beyond me. If sure must have made the videographers happy. Now of course you would have been just fine with a similar photo of Reagan, Bush, or maybe yourself. Right?
Actually there may be some allowances for the exclusion of such signs in public meeting rooms, for safety and visibility reasons.
Why doesn’t the protester simply try to use his words rather than a degrading depiction. Lack of confidence in his writing skils?
Try posting anything negative about Obama on a messageboard and see what happens. Any post that cast him as less then perfect is branded a racist post. Try IMDB Politics board for one.
And have you seen the video of the police officer in Reston Virginia? A sign of things to come.
Sandal- I’ve never heard anything like that. Where did you hear that?
Perhaps whoever drew the cartoon forgot that under no circumstances is anyone ever to find fault with The Obama in any way, shape, or form? The Obama is perfect and to find fault with anything he does is racist ...... or so I’m told.
You do realize that a lot of people don’t know who Chris Cooley is, let alone why he is associated with the phrase “life coach”. What this has to do with President Obama is especially unclear. And this is your second one with that theme.
