Obama Sign In Yard Stirs Up Neighbors

BAREFOOT BAY -- A sign in one man's front yard has stirred up a controversy in his community.

Neighbors of Andy Lacasse said the sign, which reads "Obama Half-Breed Muslin ," breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.

"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13. "If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there."

Lacasse put the sign on his lawn Saturday. A Korean War veteran, he said he was a registered Democrat until Obama won the nomination.

"That's the Democratic Party. They're nothing but a bunch of cutthroats," Lacasse said. "Like I always said, you show me an honest politician, I'll show you an honest thief."

Lacasse's neighbors said they are not all content with letting him show his opinion where everyone can see it.

"When you use words in that nature, people tend to discount anything you have to say," said Steve Rice, who lives a couple streets away from Lacasse.

"If you're going to attract attention, at least make sure your spelling is right," Rice added, referring to Lacasse's misspelling of the word "Muslim."

Rice said everyone is talking about the sign. He added he has no problem with free speech, but he does not think it is appropriate to bring race into the issue.

Rice also said the sign was wrong, and that Obama is a Christian, despite many people thinking he is Muslim.

Obama has repeatedly identified himself as a member of the United Church of Christ. His father, however, was raised Muslim.

Rice dropped by to chat with Lacasse, whom he had not met before. They talked about campaign tactics, and that Rice was a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"Are you happy what they did to her?" Lacasse asked.

"Of course not, but am I going to post a sign going after a race or group of people because of it? No, I'm going to say, 'Vote for someone else,'" Rice replied.

"Look what he's doing to Palin," Lacasse said, referring to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican John McCain's running mate. "Come on. He got people going to Alaska, looking for something to say bad about her."

Lacasse said he plans to put an even bigger sign in place of the small, handmade one.

9. Is a half-breed muslin a cotton-poly blend?

300 or 600 thread count? My Martha Stewart gene is dying to know. Are they switching to wash-and-wear klan sheets down there now? They may as well be wrinkle free. Saves mammaw the ironing time so they can hurry to the bonfire :sarcasm:

Wudda maroon.

10. What does this person have against FABRIC? Half-breed muslin?

Gee...I wonder if he gets pissy about 50% cotton and 50% polyester...

Edited to include: Ohhhhh I see now, it was in Florida...that explains it all! (No offense Floridians...I'm just referring to the self proclaimed racist rednecks down there...one of which is raising my stepdaughter...)

[PermanentRevolution]

14. Say what you will, a lot of us Floridians just plain don't trust Fabrican-Americans

...I think it just shows up these 'people' (and I use the word loosely) to be what they are: ignorant, moronic scumbags.

[SmokingJacket]

18. At least they're not pretending they prefer McCain for his "experience"

If they're going to be racist, idiotic freaks, I appreciate them letting the world know!
