No Shame: 80 Year Old Woman Arrested For Taking Down Pictures of Obama With Hitler Mustache
You know America’s headed in the wrong direction when doing the right thing gets you arrested and doing the wrong thing just might win your side the
election.
An 80 year old woman learned this the hard way when she was arrested for taking down posters of President Obama with a Hitler mustache.
Nancy Lark says she was upset when she saw posters depicting President Obama as Hitler. The posters were put up by the Lyndon LaRouche group, which has a history of doing battle against fascism and imperialism. The group is also known for passing out and posting extremist literature.
“My generation went through the Second World War, and Nazism is about the worst there can be,”Lack told NBC Connecticut. “I just got very angry that they would do that to Obama’s image.”
Lark’s boldness got her in trouble because she took down the posters and put them in her car while a worker with LaRouchePAC followed her.
Afterward, she was arrested and now faces sixth-degree larceny and breach of peace charges.
“I guess I deserved it. I stole the posters,” she said.
Truth be told, our streets aren’t any safer because an 80 year old woman tore down posters of Obama with a Hitler mustache. If the people at LaRouche don’t like Obama, that’s fine. They’re entitled to that opinion. But putting up posters depicting President Obama as Hitler is as inflammatory as it is unserious. Maybe that has a lot to do with why a group with such a long history never really caught on in American politics. Maybe it’s time for them to grow up.

What was the CHARGE? Taking down a foul sign is illegal, but putting them up is OK? It is easy to see that these rightwing nuts are OUT OF CONTROL and so are many of the police, politicians, and officials.
ROMNEY’S SON said he wanted to take a swing at the President of the U.S.A. For me…I wish he had cause that would have made my day when the SS arrested this son of a BOSSY PLUTOCRAT. His foul comment is just another indication that the fruit does not fall far from the tree…in this case the B.S. does not fall from the BULL. This family thinks that they ” are privileged and entitled” — and no one…espec. that Black President — can disagree with them. It shows their true colors.

How sad, to know there is such hate in the world. I salute Nancy Lark, she’s a brave and fair-minded woman. Is there a fund for her legal bills?
So an 80 year old woman was arrested for taking down a picture of President Obama with a Hitler mustache, but Mitt Romney’s son Tagg is not arrested and/or even taken in for questioning for threatening to take a swing at the President of the United States of America. People of color in the United States of America I say to you “WAKE-UP” because if Mitt Romney is elected President, we better start running for the hills. We need to be protesting in the streets of America regarding all the name calling, all the threats and accusations that this President have been enduring since his election. Something is stirring inside my body and it is not a pretty picture of the United States of America.

You are right… maybe we can get with BIG BIRD, Elmo and the gang and MARCH on WASH. next week ! They are planning a big protest against ROMNEY HOOD and his nutty plans to mess up education worse than the REPUBLICANS already did.
Seriously, if that KING OF THE JOB STEALING GANGSTAHS gets in the WH…it will be a sorry day in history.
It apparent they wants their country back, a Country they stole from The Native Americans…..No respect for The President of the United States, because he’s black, No respect for the right to vote, because they are outnumbered and it scares them to death, and no respect for themselves because the World is Watching this country and their alledged Democratic System fall apart.
ALLEGED….
…and all of this craziness is called “the new normal” everyone seem to have gone insance as opposed to grounding themselves and dealing with the reality of life through supporting Obama who could not fix the problems left by the Bush administration in one term, and who should definitely go out and cast your vote for him. Many are blinded by truth even though they are part of the 47% whose existence Romney openely rejects. To put posters up with Hitler’s moustache can only be done to a black man. Romney son expressed anger by stating that he felt like punching the president when his father was intellectually and verbally slaughtered by President Obama who corrected his lies — was anything done to this boy…no. This 80 year old woman felt in her gut that this negative depiction of President Obama was offensive and took the posters down and here she is arrested. Folks we need to cover her fine and support her in court. The judge may cover himselsef/herself by saying that she stole public property by having them in her car, but if she had left them there, they will be up again. All power to you granny…Rosa Parks did it for us…she stood up for truth and suffered the consequences and we are benefitting from it today. Your gesture will have positive consequences despite your arrest… be strong…you have many supporters
Ruben Iam not running Iam going to trust In Jesus he will protect me I don’t think that God Will allow Romney to do want he think he will do. you gotta have faith In Jesus this Is our only hope In this world.
This woman is a HERO!
