Tell Clear Channel: Take Down These Billboards
 

It’s one of the nastiest voter suppression schemes we’ve seen: this week, in Black and Latino neighborhoods in Ohio and Wisconsin, an anonymous group started running outrageous billboards which try to scare people away from voting.

Allowing an anonymous advertiser to create an atmosphere of fear around voting just as the early voting period begins is unacceptable. Clear Channel has rejected billboard ads many times in the past. Please join us in demanding that Clear Channel immediately take down these offensive and dangerous billboards.

Hmmm.

As if the Democrats aren't professional at using scare-tactics to keep (R) voters away?

Like that famous television commercial during the 1964 campaign?

Like those guys standing outside polling places in Philadelphia election day 2008?

And those are just two of what must be tens of thousands.

Clearly reminding people to obey the damned law is frightening to those who do.

What??????

That's all it is?

Reminding people not to break the law?

Damn.

There's a black woman standing in front of the sign.  It's obviously racist.

Which is obviously posed and they picked the stereotype (overweight,frumpy and dumb looking) welfare queen that they claim so enrages them.
