Man, these sorts of stories seem to pop up every week. This one's only notable because of it's comedic irony.
A sign in one man's front yard has stirred up a controversy in his community.And here's the fine Mr. Lacasse, explaining the rationale behind the sign.
Neighbors of Andy Lacasse said the sign, which reads "Obama Half-Breed Muslin [sic]," breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.
"I got nothing good to say about Obama," Lacasse told News 13. "If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there."
I guess you could see this as a sign of the times. It's not that we didn't expect people like this to exist, but in the year 2008, I would at least expect people like this to care enough about their reputations to not want to be labelled a racist by their neighbors.
And make no mistake, that sh*t IS racist.
Question: Do signs like the one above offend you or is it simply par for the course? What's the highest grade level that Mr. Lacasse completed?
