"Obamaville" backfires, have they no shame?

I saw this earlier in the week and it made me sick:

I’m surpised nobody on this blog jumped all over it. According to the report a “Welcome to Obamaville” sign was placed on a fence just outside a homeless tent encampment in north Colorado Springs (Dave Schultheis’ district if I’m not mistaken). In the report, the sign shop owner who made it refuses to give the name of the party who paid for the sign, which after all the publicity (and complaints) was removed.

What disgusts me is that the original color vinyl sign undoubtedly cost several hundred dollars to print. The sign was obviously not put up by residents of the homeless camp, but by some scumbag Colorado Springs Republican who drives by there every day and thought a smear on Obama would make the guilt over Bush’s economic meltdown more bearable. You’d think that spending the money on food or shelter for those homeless people would help even more with the guilt, but these are Republicans we’re talking about. They really would rather see the “Obamaville” sign.

And that, microcosmically, is what is wrong with our country today.
