Shock! Posters of Obama defaced!

Rollins College is a liberal arts college located in Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando, Florida.
"On Thursday, Oct. 1, over one hundred Rollins students and faculty members turned out for a town hall meeting in response to the vandalizing of posters featuring Barack Obama. These posters were defaced with images of swastikas, Hitler-like mustaches, and the number "666" on the posters. While one might argue that students have the right of freedom of speech to declare their opinions on politics and other aspects of society, the use of hate-speech or racial slurs on college property will not be tolerated by the faculty, staff and students of Rollins.

I wonder how many turned out to protest depictions of GWB as Hitler?

The storm troopers who run these indoctrination camps need to be made to understand that THEY DO NOT MAKE THE LAWS! They are public servants, not overseers! Parents around the country need to regain their strength, will, and the ability to think for themselves, else they will sacrafice the minds of their young.

Actually, with the swastika on the forhead, it looks like some one just saw "Inglorious Bastards"

Defacing someone elses posters is vandalism. I just hope the school is just as annoyed when some conservative or republican posters are vandalized.

Yeah, but they never are.

Well maybe the school should learn what a Nazi swastika looks like. The one in the picture is the American Indian and Eastern symbol for love, life and light. As such it is not a hate crime.

Ed, what sharp little eyes you have. ;) And, you're right.

The famous Carlsberg brewery in Denmark had the swastika as its logo before WWII. Some say because Goering often vacationed in Denmark before the war and liked drinking danish beer, that he warmed to the symbol and adopted it as his party's. Other companies, even in the US, also had it as a logo until it became infamous.

My guess is that the vandalism was perpetrated by the very same liberals who were acting so indignant about it at the town hall meeting. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that the left has defaced their own property just so they could blame it on conservatives.
