"President or Jihad?" -- Another billboard, folks
http://www.am760.net/pages/JayMarvin.html

This morning, David Sirota interviewed Phil Wolf on the radio at KKZN in Colorado. Wolf owns a car dealership in Wheat Ridge, Colorado - Wolf Automotive. He erected a billboard, a photo of it can be viewed at the KKZN web site linked above.

The outrageous aspects of this is that the billboard has racist styled images of Obama with the quote in the Subject Header. And it goes on to say, "Wake up America! Remember Fort Hood!" It links Obama with the shootings at Fort Hood.

During the interview it became clear that Wolf is a Birther, that he also believes that the Constitution illustrates that America is a Christian nation and that Obama is a Muslim. Wolf also asserted, "You have to call a spade a spade".

Sirota asks that if people do contact Wolf at the address or phone number provided above the picture of the billboard that they not be abusive nor should anyone deface the billboard if anyone who lives nearby goes to view it.

Wolf was interviewed in the first hour of the program. Interviews of interest are usually posted at Jay Marvin's link (above) after the show is over.

5. Thanks Hamlette...
It's just the KKZN radio station site. So nobody would be giving the crazies a hit. David Sirota is one of the good guys. And right now we really need his sane perspective on what's happening here in Colorado. I'm so glad he lives here now and is on the radio.

He was asking for more listeners this morning and could probably use the web hits. But I appreciate your posting the picture since I didn't know if it was okay.

9. It's about 6 blocks from where I live. It used to say "Show Us The Birth Certificate"
I give them the one finger salute whenever I drive by. Disgusting.

10. Is this the same billboard that Pete Boyles got put up?
I was wondering if it just got taped over.

13. I used to read Media Matters for Colorado where they pointed out what he's been saying
For some time he was spearheading an effort to get a birther billboard somewhere around there. Now this billboard looks like it was an amended older one. I never went to look at the original.

17. He changed the text to "Birth Certificate Prove it":


Maintenance man David Lee of Arvada, Colo. , puts the finishing touches on a sign featuring President Barack Obama for a sales lot for pre-owned vehicles along Interstate 70 in the northwest Denver suburb of Wheat Ridge, Colo. , on Friday, Nov. 20, 2009. The billboard, completed by an artist Thursday, shows a grinning cartoonish Obama wearing a turban. The billboard says, "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?" Underneath the picture is a yellow square with the phrase, "BIRTH CERTIFICATE PROVE IT."

:puke:

20. It's very sad, isn't it, how many racist stupid people we have in America.
As a nation, we're rapidly being left behind because of it.

And that's very sad for the rest of us.

23. Irrelevancy is causing them physical pain.
I saw this on Mike the Mad Biologist's blog and loved his take on it. "The Republican Party has lost it's collective fucking mind." That's pretty much all that can be said about it.

26. There's no way to contact Phil Wolf from the website.
So I sent the following to one of his sales people:

Please let Phil Wolf know that I was looking to buy a car in the near future, but Wolf Wheat Ridge won't be getting my business since Phil Wolf posted his ignorant, racist and unAmerican billboard linking the President of the United States to Muslim terrorists.

I made sure to post the news story I read about this on my facebook account, too, so all my friends in the greater Denver and Bozeman areas know it what an unpatriotic, paranoid bigot Phil Wolf is.

Sorry to dump this on you, Matt. But there's no way to contact Wolf himself from the web site. Feel free to let me know if there's a way to contact him directly.

Sincerely,
intheflow
Denver


OK, now off to make good on my threat to post this on fb. :hi:

28. Good for you!
In the interview he sounded like an ignorant turd. But you were respectful in your note. It's good not to sink to his level. :hi:
