1. And the reader (I use that term in the broadest sense) comments are (1) chilling,..

(2) inane, (3) non-sensical, (4) teabaggerish... ad nauseum.

Read if you dare:

[xultar]

4. I live down here with those muthafuckas. I'm buyin a gun!

[GoCubsGo]

12. Sickening, ain't it?

I live about 3 hours east of you. The farther you get away from Atlanta, the worse that kind of crap gets.

[joeybee12]

2. Seems like they put up a nice, rational discourse on the boards, don't they?

:sarcasm:

[Newsjock]

3. Who's funding them?

Follow the money. I suspect it would lead somewhere interesting.

[xultar]

6. In getting on that in a bit. I want to find some folk to help me cover these up

7. They won't tell anybody who they are.

The owners of the web site told 11Alive News today that they would not reveal who they are or where they are based, and that they will only communicate by e-mail. It is unclear whether they are driven primarily by ideology, financial interest or a combination of the two.

8. I was just about to post this. Fucking cowards.

[dchill]

9. Cowards.

Supported by cowards.

So, it appears that no one can figure out who runs the anti-Obama
billboards in Atlanta.

I did a bit of sleuthing for you and determined who the anonymous
person behind the website BillboardsAgainstObama.com is. Here is his
information:

Fail.

[KharmaTrain]

28. They Just See Green...

They're a web site hosting service...they don't care who buys from them or what ideology or content..all they care about is getting paid.

[xultar]

16. I CALLED THE FUCKER

[CurtEastPoint]

18. and?

[xultar]

20. I'll post deets a little later Im in my car

[CurtEastPoint]

21. Cool! Thanks!!! [fellow ATLer}

[goclark]

27. xultar ~ I always did like your style

You get right to the matter! :fistbump:

[EFerrari]

17. Anyone put up the ID in the comments yet? nt

[glinda]

19. Interesting how he made Obama look Middle Eastern by changing the nose and all.

[ShrimpScampi]

25. Disgusting

I live outside of Atlanta and find this disgusting, but not surprising. I hope stunts like this will galvanize all minorities, women and every other group who has been marginalized to keep Republicans and neo-cons OUT of state and federal government (forever, it was up to me).

[B Calm]

29. Why does he hate the United States so much he would pay money

to put down the president?

[Bigmack]

30. The first thing that struck me....

was the caricature of Pres. Obama..... large nose, large lips... all the "Sambo" stuff.

Totally non-racist, of course..
