    • eyepatch100, on 07/19/2008, -3/+14If a McCain poster was vandalized with feces, how long 'til the news hit the front page?

      Anyway, I think we can now expect a wave of poster-feces retaliatory strikes.
      • dumbducky, on 07/19/2008, -7/+4In the unlikely event that it would, it would be celebrated.
      • BoonTobias, on 07/19/2008, -13/+11a mccain poster has feces built-in
    • the2989, on 07/19/2008, -1/+20What t4 meant was, "How could someone bring themself to pick up a bunch of feces and smear it all over something?" It would require getting ***** all over your hands.
    • bicycleman, on 07/19/2008, -0/+16Easy, a dog, ziplock bag, and some rubber gloves.
      • rompom7, on 07/20/2008, -1/+13Where were you on the night of the 17th?
    • paradexes, on 07/20/2008, -1/+2There is actually a historical reference to this believe it or not. Back in the Roman Empire, people would fling mud at politicians to smear them. I ***** you not....hence the term "mud slinging. Someone took this a little further and is looking to make history in wikipedia...with ***** slinging.
    • xDynaBlade, on 07/20/2008, -6/+101) Defecate
      2) Smear on Obama posters
      3) ???
      4) Profit!
    • paradexes, on 07/20/2008, -4/+1The worst part? watch the video and you will see that the smears actually look like someones hand did it...they got fingerprints...but damn that is nasty.
      • stonebone4, on 07/20/2008, -1/+7Bonus points if they dust for prints in ***** in the next episode of CSI
    • zer0nix, on 07/20/2008, -2/+1troglodytes.
    • OwdenBowden, on 07/20/2008, -13/+8the answer to your question "how could someone do that?" is simple. Just open your eyes to the fact that Obama is not Presidential material, he is flip flopping on everything, he is continually telling lies, he is writing checks he, nor we cannot cash and he is am absolute failure as a senator. So you all want to trade the Jack ass George Bush for a democratic jack ass, who is even less qualified ( my dog has more qualification that Obama) but in this case he is black ( the question is, is this is a sympathy thing /payback for slavery?).

      • malvado, on 07/20/2008, -6/+3you're justifying - filthy pig, you.

      • growler1, on 07/20/2008, -3/+3You've got a whole heap of the substance in question your comment, mainly of the bovine persuasion.
      • MattBrown, on 07/20/2008, -3/+3It's one thing to think someone is not qualified. It's quite another to think that smearing ***** on a someone's sign is a way of making that point.

        That said, Obama is WAY more qualified than you dog and George Bush and no, this is not a sympathy thing payback for slavery.
      • wtfheadexplody, on 07/20/2008, -4/+4I don't think you're digger material, therefore I will justify wiping feces on your post.
      • OwdenBowden, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1"It's one thing to think someone is not qualified. It's quite another to think that smearing ***** on a someone's sign is a way of making that point."

        Actually, it is the ultimate way to make a point.

        It is funny to see people on Digg that will "Block" people they do not agree with on a specific topic; and or, choose to ignore people that voice and independent opinion / Non-trolling. The problems is it prevents you from being EDUCATED and OPEN.

        What Digg has become is shameful. It is 100 percent opposite of what this country is about (and what the internet is about) - the Exchange of Ideas, Differences and similarity co-existing. The agreement to agree or disagree but respecting the person. Yet Digg has become a MOB mentality of Mentally handicapped individuals.

        I can understand and see why the people who worship Obama do so. Nevertheless, I also see why Obama is NOT Presidential Material and a rather large Danger to us all. Thus I have a responsibility to make others aware of the dangers that will come from an Obama presidency - to do anything else would be criminal.

        So go ahead and Gang up, Digg people up and Digg people down. But Never forget to be open to everyone and all. Listen and Hear everyone and all. Finally - stop being a Sheep and start being a free thinking Leader and then maybe you will get somewhere. I am Digg Material - I am the definition of Digg material and it is the person that does not see this that should be removed from the site.

    • peestandingup, on 07/20/2008, -6/+5Probably some racist redneck that cant stand the thought of a black man running the country, hence the "brown" poo angle.

      Welcome to the REAL America. My fear is the country is full of idiots that are easily manipulated (ie dumb), obviously seeing that we elected Bush for 2 ***** terms.

      My thinking is that even though Obama is obviously a WAY better choice than McCain, it wont matter & these same idiots will vote on race alone. If that happens, I'll seriously consider leaving the country because I'm sick of ignorant morons being the majority here & ***** it up for the rest of us.

      Well that & McCain will probably put us all in the poor house. We're teetering on the brink of it now.
      • alaskanassassin, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2we all know you won't leave the country, let alone your mothers basement.
      • farmerjohn48pan, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I will purchase your ticket.
    • fool13, on 07/20/2008, -3/+5Most likely the same people Obama pissed off with his bitter comments. Idiots who are still refusing to vote for a black man sadly need to get with the times. Idiots who will vote for Obama solely on his blackness are just as bad. And those who vote for him on policy well, only time will tell.
    • mem2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+9Apparently Someone "does give a *****"
    • topgigmedia, on 07/20/2008, -5/+3Sounds like a severe case of the neo-con trots. ewww. One of them must have sneezed near by. Wish they would cover their mouth.
    • Iztikeit, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Because Obama is full of *****?

    • wtfheadexplody, on 07/20/2008, -3/+5There's a deeper message here, that the offender believes Obama is full of *****.
      • farmerjohn48pan, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1If the poo fits, you cannot aquit!

    • sporrow, on 07/19/2008, -3/+18Read the article, the reporter made the same joke.
    • brad3378, on 07/20/2008, -0/+24This ***** is getting out of hand.

  • hardcorelilmiss, on 07/19/2008, -10/+11Sick!
  • razorsharpwit, on 07/19/2008, -31/+15haha *****'s hilarious, well freedom of speech what are you gonna do?
    • Jareth86, on 07/19/2008, -5/+6Freedom of speech includes feces? I guess if the people who did that ***** out their mouths...
    • QuesoPantera, on 07/19/2008, -3/+14uh, dude that's vandalism. not legal.
    • scottsutherland, on 07/19/2008, -2/+10Is it freedom of speech when a killer's gun does the talking?

      People have such a misconstrued and generalized idea of the concept of "freedom of speech."
    • SpiderBoar, on 07/19/2008, -3/+2digg you down, thats exactly what I'm going to do.
    • angryfirelord, on 07/20/2008, -3/+4There's a big difference between freedom of speech and violating private property. I'm not an Obama supporter, but whoever did that was not only sick, but violated her property rights (something I value as a conservative).
  • DD2CC2U, on 07/19/2008, -22/+34Must be some wierd GOPer that has a fetish!
    • DiggGeek24, on 07/19/2008, -10/+24Obama voted yes to the Patriot Act, and yes to FISA stop the right vs left BS
      • wtfheadexplody, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3That's true, but that's overlooking the big picture. Between McCain and Obama, the candidate whose views I more closely relate to is Obama, despite two votes he made.
  • dcoolidge, on 07/19/2008, -9/+14I knew the ***** hit the fan but, no one told me about a poster...
  • pollyboxer, on 07/19/2008, -12/+7What is wrong with people? Thanks for the info again.
  • xZeddx, on 07/19/2008, -11/+11Abhorrent, vile, and disgusting. I hate to say I laughed upon reading the title of this article.

  • imhassan, on 07/19/2008, -20/+16lol hahahha!
    • goodposter, on 07/20/2008, -4/+2would of been funnier if they left a log by one of the posters
  • bmph8ter, on 07/19/2008, -3/+24Ewww. I wonder if they covered their hand first or did it bareback.
  • yayintertubes, on 07/19/2008, -26/+32Way to go america. Setting a really good example for all those primitive ideologies you're trying to bomb some sense into. Western democracy is becoming a ***** joke.
    • DiggGeek24, on 07/19/2008, -16/+27Obama voted yes to the Patriot Act, and yes to FISA
      • Tanktunker, on 07/19/2008, -16/+10And?
        At least try to make your stupid propaganda relevant to the comment you're hijacking.
      • Mothrog, on 07/20/2008, -1/+1Since when is stating a fact propaganda, idiot?
      • farmerjohn48pan, on 07/22/2008, -1/+1You need a dictionary. Propaganda: Methodical propagation of a particular doctrine or of allegations reflecting its views and interests. So yes, propaganda can be factual. Wise up.
    • wannapiece, on 07/19/2008, -3/+32So America did this...? Or some drunk hobo looking for something to wipe his ass with. Shut up with you vague and over generalized persecutions that "America" did this.
      • mem2, on 07/20/2008, -1/+4I have to agree with you
        In Australia the hobos love to spread their arse cheeks, lean up against a shop wall (ie target, coles or woolies) and proceed to ***** and go "narrahggghhh" to any poor prick passing by.

        So as disgusting as it is to witness on the way to work in the morning it doesnt make the news as "Australia ***** ON TARGET"
      • toshibu, on 07/20/2008, -0/+1"persecutions"? I think you just verbally shat on this thread.
    • gregmihalko, on 07/19/2008, -5/+3Which gives us, citizens of America, the right to literally ***** on him. Good point. It is so obvious that the poop was intentionally smeared all over those signs, if the perpetrator was drunk he wouldn't have been that accurate and probably would have been done with just one sign. The drunk hobo is America, moron.

      So, you are an American, and according to you America did this; therefore, you did this.

      Brian, please stop smearing your poo on Obama signs.
  • louiebaur, on 07/19/2008, -3/+6That is pretty gross!

  • coffee200am, on 07/19/2008, -13/+7She should report this to Obamas Smear and Rumor website! Then when Obama is pres it can be investigated and the criminals who did this sent to prison!!!
  • beatles901, on 07/19/2008, -11/+6That's just about the intelligence level of people who don't support the better mainstream candidate. There ARE better options, they just won't win sadly :

  • DiggGeek24, on 07/19/2008, -17/+11Probably a true patriot fighting to protect the constitution.

    Obama voted yes to the Patriot Act, and yes to FISA wants 92,000 more troops for war in Iran or martial law.

      • ileftfark, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5Right, because the parent comment was clearly a fan of bipartisan politicians.

    but this is funny as hell.
  • CryTekEmployee, on 07/20/2008, -14/+7Obama is *****. The only difference between these two candidates is that McCain deserves to have it thrown in his actual face. This reminds me of the 2004 election; having to select between anal rape or a 2 man bukkake.
  • greco530, on 07/20/2008, -4/+8maybe if i smear ***** on my house the news will come...i'm gonna try it
  • rezist, on 07/20/2008, -7/+4why is this news? we live in america, it's sad and amusing how ignorant we all are.
  • COINTELPROAgent, on 07/20/2008, -10/+4That's so odd, why would Obama talk to his own posters?
  • CamonDraconis, on 07/20/2008, -7/+1Wow... I read that as FACES and was hoping that someone put the joker face on there.

  • Metropolis, on 07/20/2008, -3/+6Meh, I really don't think this should even be news. So some right wing conservative douchebags smeared ***** on a couple of signs. Who cares? Nobody's life was in danger, and there was no real harm done except for a couple of smelly signs. Should we call the news crew anytime our door gets egged or mailbox gets knocked off with a baseball bat? Cry me a river.
    • ajwinder, on 07/20/2008, -3/+3Um, if someone spread ***** all over my property, I'd be pissed and probably call the local news. Thats the most disgusting, yet hilarious, part for me. Its not like someone wiped their ass on the sign. Thats clearly been spread around on there. So someone went out, spread their ***** all over a sign, and then presumably drove him, ***** hands and all, and felt like they had won. I'm gonna say the one without human fecal matter on their steering wheel probably won this one :P

    A 25-year-old New York City graduate student is threatening to sue a T-Shirt designer after being assaulted for wearing one of his designs.

    The woman bought a $69 shirt from Apollo Braun's Manhattan boutique that bore the words, "Obama is my slave." When she wore the shirt on Tuesday, four teenage girls accosted her - shoving her, pulling out her earphones, and spitting in her face, according to the New York edition of Metro News.
    • septicmadman, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3That shirt is clever if it is taken in the context of him being a public servant and not in the way the designer intended on.
    • Dozernotz, on 07/20/2008, -1/+0I hope this is a blind girl we're talking about because otherwise I would have a hard time seeing how the designer could be liable for her selecting, purchasing, and wearing one of his T-shirts.
    • dzw120, on 07/20/2008, -1/+4Disregarding the fact that she knew what the shirt said before wearing it in New York( one of the most racially diverse major cities in the world), she deserves to have some sense beat into her for paying $69 for a plain gray T-Shirt with nothing but four boldface words stamped on the front of it.
    • uracre, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3Here is the "designer" mentioned: http://www.apollobraun.com/store/store.cfm?categor ...
      After checking out those tshirts, have a look at the paintings section.

      Although he may think he has a vision about *****, he is politically charged and even maybe have a mission, he is just an empty brained bullock. What logical reason or even connection there can be to compare Obama to hitler? Nothing. It is the easiest thing to do. People who do not have political knowledge, or do not have any common knowledge actually, always use Hitler to make their ***** supposedly creative artistic statements. Unfortunately there is something wrong about the society nowadays, doughnuts like this guy somehow ends up at the press instead of dying on overdose.

      And those paintings... The artist behind them: Idiot. The paintings: Since the artist is an idiot, they are worthless. End of story, he can put his artist statement in his arse.
    • johnkmiecik, on 07/20/2008, -0/+0She's lucky she didn't get straight up shot or stabbed for wearing that. It certainly isn't the designers fault, they're both ignorant human beings, but this is America and it's within her ability to sue, sue SUE.
