THE DIRTY ARMY: He says he is a libertarian, Owner is Sam Moore (My bad, it is a poster). [RICHMOND] - A sign depicting President Barack Obama in the image of the joker from Batman is causing a stir. The large sign hangs outside Club Velvet in Shockoe Bottom and many in the community are reacting to it. And some are even asking the owner of the club to take it down.
Thirteen year old Jamilia Cunningham is one of them. She says when she saw the banner she was left speechless and that the image is disrespectful to a man who has made history. ”I wanted to be the first African American President and I am happy that I didn’t have to wait that long to get one,” said Cunningham.
She put her feelings about the banner in a letter that she wrote to Club Velvet’s Owner Sam Moore. In it she told him that the sign was hurtful and asked him to take it down. Moore declined to talk with Cunningham but did release a statement about why he put the banner up. He said his display is not intended to make a racial statement but rather to express his displeasure with the Obama administration.
“This country is going to hell in a hand bag and the current administration is making things irreversibly worse,” said Moore. Some local residents say the banner is making a statement to all who pass by…and not necessarily a good one.
“I’m a little offended. It’s not in good taste,” said neighbor Al Hughes. Others in the community pointed out that what is distasteful in this case isn’t illegal.
“In America there’s freedom of speech though it doesn’t really matter,” said passerby Sean Lambert. But it is a matter of concern for some in the community who say they will continue to challenge it.
“This is tearing people apart,” said Barbra Brown. Brown says she and other concerned citizens are planning to attend a press conference today at noon outside Club Velvet. It will be hosted by the Virginia State Conference NAACP.
Isn’t this the same Sam Moore that got busted for touching little kids on the knee? I honestly think this is a desperate cry for attention since his strip club is failing.- nik
Phil says:
People are f*cking retarded. When Bush was in office there were pics of him dressed as Hitler and nobody made a stink about it. People are too sensitive about race. Everything is about race, its f*cking garbage
to Phil:) says:
Black people need the race card bc if they do not use it they have no excuse for their utter failure in American society. All the crime, poverty, diseases, fatherless children, inability to educate themselves become a real issue. Blacks would have to look at their “culture” and they will never do that as long as they can use racism (which by the way the understanding of racism comes soley out of white academia). Blacks are HIV in Americans body.

to just mejohn says:
wow… and pictures of bush being compared to a monkey were fine?
could you imagine if you did that same thing to obama?
people are idiots
to john??? says:
@just me…we would not have america if we never questioned our gov’t in 1776 and fought for our freedom from the red coats, questioning your gov’t couldn’t be more american. But you wouldn’t know that because you don’t know history and you believe all the b.s. Mainstream media spoon feeds you, presidents and news anchors do lie on television. If you cared about this country and were informed you would have that banner hangin on your front door.

Well said…except under mine it would say “fasicsm” because that is actually more accurate than socialism…

Oh really….like the 9 million bumper stickers, posters, and t-shirts that made fun of Bush when he was our President. “Affended” explains your post, nothing more needs to be said.
to The Real ChicagoPhuk U says:
lol , the fag lib is affended
to Phuk UMR.TEE says:
Aah Dumbass, it’s I, Offended, and you CAN burn a flag. I’ll bet you didn’t mind when your people (Liberals) were calling G.W. Bush a Nazi or burning him in effigy.
to MR.TEENO Kidding! says:
People ALWAYS make fun of the President in Office. Remember when Carter was President and they had his eyes and teeth on a peanut shell because he was a Georgia peanut farmer before holding office? (You probably don’t). And I don’t know that because I’m 70, it’s because I’m educated. He is enacting his freedom of speech, and your destroying of his sign and property would land you a good amount of jail or probation, depending on if you could afford a good lawyer. Ass.
to NO Kidding!worth it! says:
then educate yourself on what year it is racist… times change and most people grow.( maybe you didn’t get the memo)Keep up grandpa and anyways don’t think you would open your mouth in public, lol my computer in my racists sheild. GEEK SQUAD.
to worth it!worth it! says:
ps. distroyin someone’s racist sign, with a public defender, still wouldn’t get you jail time put in your teeth, on your thinking cap and put down you m3th white trash. watch a time to kill. some peoplke arent stuck in the 40′s.
to worth it!Nik Snitchie says:
Mark my words. This will be the last black president we will see for a long time. The American people do not like having a president they cant critisize without being seen as racist.
to Nik SnitchieI for one think it infringes on this mans first Amendment to want him to take it down…… “”The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I. Freedom of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief.”"
:) says:
He is the first and last HALF black or black president that will ever exist in America. Approval ratings are now at 49.3% as of today acccoding to the latest Gallup. As with everything else in America a black is taking a problem and exponentaly making it worse. Blacks are incapable of governing themselves or anything else. Look at the worse places to live in America. Detriot, NOLA, Houston, Memphis, D.C., Baltimore, ll n*gger cities with n*gger mayors.

Yea Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (black lady on cell phone during town hall meetings) She was just on TV supporting Health care for Illegal Aliens!!! I mean how do these people keep getting elected?

Freedom of speech. Same thing was done to Bush and no one cared. Obama is not our savior, he is just a President. I did not like Bush and I do beleive that Obama is the Anti-Christ!
to ErclevPhuk U says:
i agree
to Phuk Ugive him attention then... says:
how many american people did we loose by bushes hand before we really got upset but i never saw something so disrespectful to someone who killed millions. who has given our president Obama a chance except for to see his color…. racist.
to give him attention then...Mr. X says:
loose?
to Mr. XMagsterrrrrrr says:
its LOSE, not Loose! when you make a point, check your grammer, because then you just sound like an IDIOT!
to Magsterrrrrrr:) says:
obama is escalating a quagmire in Afghanistan, the days of blaming Bush are over. Obama is going to turn America into a graveyard.
to :)OU812 says:
Have you finished smokin crack yet? That jibberish made little sense.
You spew how disrespectful it is but say its bushes fault for killing millions. So show some respect you preach – its not bushes, it Bush’s. 2nd, Bush never killed millions you dumb a$$. When Obama starts showing the respect he promised, during his campaigned, to both sides of the aisle and the people that voted for him, then he will get repsect. But, until then, we all know that N1GGER lies.
to OU812PK$ says:
Does anyone else find it kinda funny that a strip club owner would want to bash a Democratic president, when the Republican “Christian conservative base” would be the first group to try and shut down this type of establishment?
to PK$phileblunt says:
This guy isn’t a republican he is a libertarian.Or did you miss that part in the story.
to philebluntPK$ says:
No I caught that, but speaking REALISTICALLY, anyone in power will still come from one of only two parties. I get his views, but putting up a sign like that isn’t going to make anyone vote Libertarian, just go to the other extreme on the right…. sadly, that’s how the sheeple of this country vote. If he’s trying to influence opinion by hanging a sign, what he wishes for might not be what he wants… I guess that was my point…
to PK$piont well made. says:
thaks for a healthy dose of reality!
to piont well made.Phuk U says:
your point is dumb . he opposes Nobama – thats his point , if other peopel of other groups oppose Nobama as well then that just goes to show Nobama is a piece if turd “we all have things in common, like the nation this administration is bashing infront of the UN and is destroyign with his bullsh*t policies”
to Phuk Ufellow libertarian says:
It has nothing to do with being put into a category. You do not have to be classed in the “Christian conservative base” in order to protest Obama’s policies or that of the democratic party. Anyone with common sense may protest the president.
to fellow libertarianNik Snitchie says:
You cant critisize Obama or you are a racist. Thats why i said he will be the last black president we see for a long time. I mean even black mayors do a crappy job, look at Detroit. They have a all black city council, and that city is going to crap. Black people cant even take care of their own neighborhoods what makes people think they can run citys or our country?
to Nik Snitchie:) says:
EXACLTY, Nik Snitchie telling you the truth once again. Wake the f*ck up people blacks are only good at shooting basketballs and killing each other. If it requires a brain a black man is not up to the task.
to :)A Black Man says:
Just make sure you attend orientation at your local cotton field.
. Can’t wait to whip your ass.
to A Black ManNik Snitchie says:
Thank you my friend. But i am afraid us trying to talk to some people about this is like trying to teach astro physics to a mentally handicapped person. I will admit tho white people are waking up in droves.
to Nik Snitchie:) says:
They are waking up brother, and blacks do not know anything about American or anglo-saxon history. History is not linear. All it will take is the nation of islam or some radical blacks to do something crazy and poof Jim Crow is back.
to :)HAHAHA says:
“the image is disrespectful to a man who has made history” Holy crap that sentence almost made me piss myself!!!
to HAHAHAPhuk U says:
a 13 yr old little bitch wrote this? I bet not
to Phuk UMR.TEE says:
It has nothing to do with color, only to you
to MR.TEEand people like you, give him attention then. It has to do with the fact that, Obama, is unqualified and sucks as a president. His wife is an American hating, dresses like garbage, national embarrassment too.
Blah Blah Blah says:
OBAMA SUCKS! end of story.
to Blah Blah BlahIt’s not a black thing, he just should not have been elected. Most of the economic reform programs that are in set now were started by the Bush administration. Obama has not done anything great yet except been elected. And if anyone listened to that Howard Stern stuff, some of his votes were just because of his race.
Keep the poster up! He looks like the clown he really is!
Nole Girl says:
Black people need to stop bitching at everyone who makes comments about Obama. He ran a lot of sh*t out of his ass while campaigning and isn’t backing it up. He deserves to be criticized. Even the wack job President from Libya said he was “like his son”. So we have a guy rubbing elbows with crazy Middle Eastern leaders? Wonderful, and when the next terrorist attack comes I hope it just targets the Liberals.
to Nole GirlNot good says:
Our gov’t under Obama spent 23.7 Trillion in under a year! That’s almost half the worlds GDP/worlds production for a year or the ability to pay off every single americans mortage X2!!!! Do you sheeple get it? Hello!!! Our gov’t is using this long legged race pimp to further their socialist/facist aggenda, divide and conquer, so lets keep fighting about racism or a 2 party system that does not exist, cause we all know the bush family takes cruises with the clintons and obama’s, keep on fighting while our gov’t laughs at us.
to Not good:) says:
Your arguement falls apart when yo uwalk through a black neighborhood, unless of course you have a police uniform on than you are MASTA.
to :)Nik Snitchie says:
Yea i would like to know where one safe clean all black neighborhood is? You wont find it because there isnt one. The truth is the races are different.
to Nik Snitchie:) says:
White people elected Obama, not black people. Check that STUPID white people elected Obama.
to :)Nik Snitchie says:
It is sad but yes its true. Uninformed white people voted Obama into office. I have a feeling they wont do it again tho. The word racist is losing its power. If you dont like jews you are anti-semetic, if you dont like blacks you are racist, if you dont like que*rs you are homophobic, but its ok to hate whites in our own country no less. White people please wake up and lets take our country back from these homeland terrorists.

Alex says:
Bush was portrayed as the joker, a monkey, and many other things before Obama was. This isn’t about race. If you believe it’s anything other than millions of Americans angry that the President is leading the charge into more taxes, more entitlements, more inflation, and more unemployment, you’re wrong.
You’ve been duped by the media if you think this is racism. Labeling it that is only a weak attempt by the left at discrediting people who are trying to tell you the truth. Fall in lockstep with your leaders though and keep calling us racists while the country falls apart. Great job, idiots.
to Alexmax says:
Maybe if those people would get to work and see what thats like theyll feel what the hard working people of america are now faced with. Im tired of working 72 Hrs a week just so people can live on hand outs.
to max:) says:
Obama is expanding our corportacracy and making your life worse. Free market economics read about it it is what has destroyed America. look up milton friedm*n.
to :)max says:
Of course it has, when your on top someones always on bottom thats what man does, he tries to acheive more to better himself. Sometimes its for the better and sometime its for the worst. America is the number one super power and I for one am happy with that. Unfortunatly there are poeple in this country who have milked off its t*ts for too long now, Both the rich and the poor. F@ck it im just going to smoke some cr*ck and forget about it. Go Obama! lol

to Phuk Uhypocrites says:
The same buttholes who are crying “disrespect” are the same hypocritical d@#chebags who put bumper stickers disparaging Bush, and the ones who spread around images of Bush looking like a chimpanzee. It is only when someone smears their guy that they choose to get offended…
to hypocritesMB says:
I think it’s more disrespectful to Heath Ledger than anyone… Obama could never be that bad-a$$. All kidding aside, the Joker isn’t even a real person, how offensive could it be? I once walked into a restaurant in Santa Cruz where there were three, yes THREE, posters of George W. Bush made to look like Hitler just on the way to the restroom.
to MBsr819 says:
This is old news.
to sr819hmm says:
Free speech people. Bush was made fun too. why is this kid crying about this poster? Oh yeah, because she is black. All left wing democrats and black people whine when anyone says anything that disagrees with Obama. I’m betting this girl’s mom is on welfare. If she had a job, she would understand why everyone is calling obama a socialist. He is their false prophet (sp), ruining this country.

I hope all you people know our gov’t loves it when we make this whole obama administration about race or democrats versus republicans because its keeps us fighting amongst ourselves and placing the blame on labels that are irrelivant, when the fact is our gov’t as a whole and the banking elite that control it are criminals, obama,bush’s and clinton etc are just the face of gov’t our salesman and mainstreamedia is their public relations network.follow the money trail the federal reserve issues our currency can’t be audited has no reserve currency and does’nt answer to our gov’t they are private.

The reason Bush was bashed was because he sucked. Google presidential ranking and look at Bush at the very bottom. Wake up white people. You dumb f@cks will be the minority soon and then your gay a$$ republican party will not be here anymore.
to White People Suck:) says:
Learn some history dummy. Even when a minority no matter the time period or country/nation-state white people have dominated the political/financial/military sphere. You need to google lowest approval ratings of any US president in frist 300 days of innagural administration you will see your black jesus Obamas name come up. White people will always run America no matter the demographics you can bet your little black ass on it.

They don’t have their priorities straight. They have no value for human life.. They shoot each other over a dirty look or stepping on their air force one’s. Just the other day in Chicago a gang of these ignorant ass porch monkey’s killed a nonviolent honor student who got caught in the middle of their fight on the way home. Bashed his head in with a f*cking board for what? Nothing.. What happened to Walnut Mall in Petersburg? Blacks.. ran it in the ground.. shut down .. What happened to Cloverleaf Mall? Blacks stabbing people inside the damn mall.. Ran away good businesses and it too SHUT DOWN.. Their a plague on society! There’s not enough jails to house them all. You don’t hear any of this happening because of white people? I wonder why..
to Blacks are a plague on our societyf#ck you racist people says:

Grant laid sige to it. Black people are a cancer to the white peoples socity, they are always looking for a handout and blame everything on whites.It is hard to be a RACIST!!!, when the proof is being put in your face day after day after day after day after day: day in and day out.
