Sign Depicting President Obama As Joker Stirring Controversy (Photo)

 
A big sign of President Barack Obama (above) painted up like the joker is stirring up a lot of controversy in Denton.
Dan Shea is not pleased with President Obama's policies, so now peaking over his fence and out onto a main road three side-by-side images of the President depicted as the joker and the word socialism. 

Denton City Councilwoman Charlye Heggins sees the sign as racist and degrading.  But Dan Shea says he doesn't understand what everyone's upset about.  Shea says where was the same outrage when the same image was used on George W. Bush. (below)

The city has checked about the signs height and placement in an effort to force Shea to take it down, but Heggins says as far as she can tell, there's nothing they can do as long as the big sign is on Shea's property.

The signs are the best part, but I guess you will have to go to the link.  Major lame fail on my part for still being too challenged to insert pics.   :loser:  But hey, I got the quote-box thingy down, so there is still hope.  :-)

Hardee har har.  :-)   Yeah, I have seen the pics.  I would have liked to have the technical aptitude to have posted them embedded in the article.  I liked how everyone got quiet about it when he pointed out the Bush one.
