An Aurora sixth-grader says his conservative dad came up with the "Obama — A terrorist's best friend" slogan and did most of the work to emblazoned it on a T-shirt that got him suspended from school.

But 11-year-old Daxx Dalton said he stands behind the message and believes school officials violated his free-speech rights by suspending him for three days.

The boy also agrees with his trucker dad, Dann Dalton, that school officials are are bunch of "lefties" who wouldn't have disciplined him if the T-shirt had featured his favored presidential candidate, Republican John McCain.

Citing student privacy, Aurora Public Schools spokeswoman Paula Hans said she could not discuss specifics of the Dalton case, including confirming whether the boy had been suspended.

"We are not able to comment on an individual student's disciplinary issue," the district said in a statement. "We thoughtfully and consistently enact student discipline when needed."

1. Over on fark.com, someone suggested ...

... a rebuttal t-shirt that says "Sarah Palin: a rapist's best friend"

Oh, and it should be illegal for republicans to live in neighborhoods with children.

GOPhers should be treated like convicted sex offenders.
