Racist? Nah.



The display in the front yard of Terry Jones’s Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC) in Gainesville features a dummy wearing an Obama mask hanging from a yellow noose. Along with an American flag and a rainbow-striped gay pride flag, the scene includes an Uncle Sam dummy and a child’s doll hanging from the right hand of the Obama figure.

Nearby, the words “Obama is Killing America” are printed on a trailer. So, it appears, the creepy Jones is returning the favor.

isn't it. It's another confirmation of how racist and bigoted many are in the US.

It just kills this guy that he can't get away with hanging real black people anymore.

for President Obama to pull a GWB and plant a media question for his next press conference ...

The question: "President Obama ... Care to comment on the Reverend Terry Jones' hanging of your image?"

President Obama's response: "Terry who?"

He comes up to Michigan just to harass the local Muslim community.

He gets little support and plenty of opposition from Christians, Jews and Muslims alike.
