Billboard Controversy Comes To North Texas

August 20, 2012 10:59 PM

GAINESVILLE (CBSDFW.COM) - A billboard that sparked a protest in Indiana because of its reference to the Navy Seals, and removing the President from office, has appeared along I-35 in North Texas.
 
The ad in Gainesville depicts two men in camouflage holding weapons. The text next to the picture, in a military style font, says “The Seals removed one threat to America,” a reference to the killing of Osama bin Laden. It continues, “Remove the other in November.”
 
The bottom of the sign says it’s a political ad, paid for by TJ Schad, and has a Gainesville address.
 
At his home Monday, Tom Schad said he’s not acting for any political party, committee or candidate. He simply saw a similar picture in an email, with an accompanying note that said it should be on every billboard across the country.
 
“It just started out as something fun to do,” he said. “Let’s see if I could do it. I didn’t have a clue how to do it.”

You have to go to the link to see the billboard.  It's well worth it.

Romney needs to spend a little money putting up billboards that say, "Atheism, the belief system of Hitler, Stalin..., responsible for more human deaths than any other belief system, more human deaths than war."
