Obama Osama Sign Strikes a Chord
JONESVILLE - A sign in front of a local church that links Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is causing a stir in this small Union County town, but the pastor who posted the question is defending the message, saying it came after prayer.
The sign is drawing criticism from some in the area who see its message as a political or race-based attack.
Roger Byrd, pastor of Jonesville Church of God, said he posted the following message in hopes of getting people to think:
“Obama Osama
Humm
Are They Brothers”
Of course some are screaming racism. How dare anyone lay criticism against the black man running for President. Obamassiah is for hope and change and who on Earth would be against that??
Lame allegations aside, the sign is idiotic and only paints the pastor as an extreme right wing wacko, which perhaps he is. Who knows? Obama can easily be cut down by most of his illogical Marxist policy views. Displays like this only detract from the real issues.
