Anti-Obama Billboard Leads to Death Threats
Freedom of speech is protected under the Constitution everywhere in the United States — except Ozark, MO.
A billboard buyer there is receiving death threats after he brought an anti-Obama billboard to Ozark.
According to online reports, the buyer, Steve Critchfield, said he thought the billboard would lead to healthy discussions and debate — not death threats.
He says he’s received numerous death threats and accusations of hate speech and racism. “My partner and I felt lots of frustration here lately, and we liked that sign and we thought that was a reasonable question to ask,” Steve Critchfield said in a telephone interview on Monday.
“I’ve certainly voted for people I’m embarrassed to say I’ve voted for,” he said. “We’re not naïve enough to think that we wouldn’t get someone to be upset. I’m just surprised how upset people are.
“If everybody thinks [President Obama's] done a great job and they’re very happy,” he said, “then I guess they’d be buying billboards saying ‘I’m proud to have voted for him.’ That’s what makes America great, isn’t it?”

OOhhhh WOW!!!!!!!!
what a terrible waste of a billboard!!!!
Correct me if I’m wrong but where people this hateful when Bush was in office….I have lost all respect for the republican party. They are so hateful and such sore losers. Thats ok what goes around comes around…*sigh*
It would be great if people would be more productive with their time!!! So much good will get done on this earth if that was to happen.
@ CHEEKS no ma’am that wasn’t allowed when he was president. Numerous of comedians was talked to if they said something out of line. Dixie Chicks damn near lost their career when they mentioned him doing a bad job. The list of people that got in trouble for the mere mention of negativity is astounding.
@ MissHarlem, good point, I remember when that happened, they actually had people burning there CD’s. And if anybody needed to put on blast on a billboard is Bush!!!!
WTH , why wasn’t this up when Bush was in office ????
Finally a post I can catch my breath and regain my composure in
what kind of healthy debate did he think this would lead to…seriously
That girl just wanted her name in the news. Thats all…
MissHarlem right! It wasn’t until Michael Moore did that documentry did anyone dare to have the balls to say something against the Bush administration…
Hello All. I wonder how McCain and Palin would have fared as President/vice if they’d won the election? Unemployment up 30% instead of 10%? Banks failing, more children starving, schools closing, etc? The middle class, that’s us, would seriously be suffering more than they are now. Alas, we shall never know but watch out for that witch in 2012. She’s something to contend with and that’s no joke, even though she is a joke to most of us folks of color. Peace.
Family, have a safe and wonderful holiday. It’s the last hurrah for summer! How time flies.
@ ERICA @ CHEEKS after Michael Moore did his THANG on that documentary was the only time that you could start jokin or say something about him. I know people may clown Whoopi but she was the main one that was reprimanded and even got a letter from the administration. She started to talk about it but decided against it for obvious reasons.

@Sandra, You better start ducking.
Have you read your own post? Blank stare.
If he’s got enough money for billboards, Obama’s policies haven’t done him much harm. I could see if someone who was down and out was pissy, but someone with money to burn really can’t complain.
The outrage really wasn’t there during the Bush years because Bush kept down poor people (mostly of color). When hard times start trickling down to rich white folks, people want to declare a state of emergency. They need to grow the hell up and realize that it was mostly their greed that has placed the country in this financial predicament.
shakin my head
that’s all I have for some people
I hate to say it but I cannot wait until we have a new President just so I can see if this much shyt is relevant. I have never heard more about a President than Obama.
On Inside Edition for the last 2 days they’ve talked about him redecorating the Oval Office and how this was not the time because of the economy even though EVERY President that’s held office has redecorated to their own taste.
Then we have Mindy McCain (hating ass bytch) and some conservative ugly hoe talking about how it looks casual and he should’ve stayed with the traditional “bright floral” couches instead of the “boring earth tones” he picked. #bishesplease
WOW….why they didnt put this poster out when GEORGE BUSH was in office…smh….sad
@Cheeks8683 . . . Your Avatar is Strikingly Beautiful!
Afternoon, Rose Family.
OBAMA is not worried about a jerk who would spend money in this recession who opened himself up to ill will -
hmph…. why don’t people just answer the question and keep it moving
Ho hum.
