Woman, 80, arrested for removing Obama-Hitler sign
Associated Press – Thu, Oct 18, 2012.. .


HEBRON, Conn. (AP) — An 80-year-old Connecticut woman has been charged with larceny and breach of peace after tearing down political signs that included an image of President Barack Obama with an Adolph Hitler-style mustache.

Nancy Lack tells WVIT-TV she was offended by the picture and took down three posters that were being hung last Thursday near the post office on Main Street in Hebron, Conn.

Workers for frequent presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, who were putting up the signs, called police.

Lack says she knew she would get in trouble. But she says she lived through World War II and was angry that someone would portray the president as a Nazi.

She was released on a promise to appear in court next week.

I rarely sympathize with a criminal this much.  All of the right/lunatic fringe's fantasies about Bakrama are offensive, and this one more than most, from the beginning.  Posters of LaRouche shooped into a straight jacket would have been a more appropriate response, and also had the moral high ground of saying something true.

Thoughts?

You can say what you want about Obama, but Hitler he is not. Obama does not do near the amounts of Meth! And.. his "youth group" only designed ornaments for the White House Christmas tree.

But seriously. Wait till the poster hangers go away. THEN take down the posters. All these folks wanting to be bad asses. Is the Green 1 the only one who thinks the real badasses are invisible ninjas?

Now, some municipality is going to give her a "fine" to buy new toys for the city.

I hold a scrap of paper in the darkness and light it. I watch it burn bright and curl, disappearing into nothingness, and the heat burns my fingers. Where has it gone? What has it become? I cannot shake the feeling that I have witnessed a form of transcendence.
