    Woman, 80, arrested after tearing down LaRouche group's 'Obama-Hitler' sign​
    ​

    Nancy Lack is old enough to remember the rise and fall of Hitler, so when she saw a sign in her Connecticut neighborhood that attempted to liken President Obama to the Nazi dictator, she took action.

    Lack, who is 80, saw the sign portraying Obama with Hitler's trademark toothbrush mustache on a table set up by supporters of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche in downtown Hebron. She slammed on her brakes, spryly jumped out of her car and strode toward the display, where she tore down the offensive sign and snatched another two posters off the table.“I just got very angry that they would do that to [President] Obama’s image,” Lack told WVIT-TV.[​IMG] “A woman was following me to the car and I put the posters in the car and I said, ‘Make sure you get my license plate.’”
    ​
    The woman did, and Lack was arrested - but said she has no regrets. She said she made a determination that, even in today's polarized political climate, this was worth getting handcuffed over.​
    ​
    “My generation went through the Second World War, and Nazism is about the worst thing there can be,” she said.​
    Lack was arrested and charged with sixth-degree larceny and breach of peace. She is due to appear before a judge next week. But she may not be alone when she goes to court, given the attention she has earned with her plucky stance.​
    “This has all been very overwhelming,” Lack told FoxNews.com. “But everyone has been very supportive.”​
    Lack could face a fine and up to three months in jail if she is convicted.​
    ​
    The LaRouche PAC supports Lyndon LaRouche, a 90-year-old perennial presidential candidate who served six years in prison after a 1988 conviction for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and tax code violations. Perhaps the best-known of LaRouche's wacky accusations was his 1980 charge that Queen Elizabeth II was the head of an international drug cartel. The LaRouche backers are currently calling for the impeachment of President Obama for “war crimes, cover-ups, and blatant violations of the constitution,” according to their website.​
    ​
    LaRouche has run for president a total of eight times since 1976, with his last campaign during the 2004 elections.​

    Well I have to say Well done her, President Obama might not be the person that I like best in the world but equating him to Hitler and what that meglomaniac stood for is not on

    This goes back to our rights guaranteed under the First Amendment to our Constitution. Specifically, the First Amendment states:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    The Lyndon LaRouche camp had every right under the First Amendment to post a picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache. The woman was offended by it, however she had no right to steal the sign. That's why she was arrested and, hopefully, is found guilty. I would have had more respect for her had she approached the table and spoke with them civilly about her feelings regarding the Nazis. But, she didn't. Her actions are worse than the people who exercised their right under the First Amendment.

    I've spent a while trying to track down the facts behind your thread title, and I'm having a little trouble. Perhaps you could direct me to the reputable sources which support the following:

    1. Nancy Lack watches MSNBC.

    2. Nancy Lack is a Democrat (or "Democrat-Socialist," whatever that's supposed to be).

    3. Nancy Lack is a post-op transsexual.

    I know you didn't just pull all those out of your ass, right?

    Tangential nonsense not worth my time. You feel free to go off on any tangent you wish. I will not follow.

    I'm just wondering if you were quoting some malignant pissant like Rush Limbaugh, or if you invented the attempted defamation of that old lady on your own.

    Somehow methinks yes.


    Youre not going to follow tangential nonsense? It seems to be in the title of this thread that you started.

    Would Rush really do something like that?


    Now this is a funny thread. I sense it may have been a thread to incite people and it did in my case. The title really gave me a good laugh. The content of the OP made me laugh harder.
    Then the responses ramped me up.

    Yep. The Larouche people have the right to put up such signs. She violated that. Coin seems to think she should do serious time IMHO.

    Good for her and she stands by it I say. She'll probably get fined

    She could be as the title to this thread says...

    "MSNBC-watching, Democratic-Socialist, Post-OP Transsexual Tears Down Obama/Hitler Sign"

    Or it could be.

    "I was nine years old when World War II started and I lost both my dad and uncle due to Adolph Hitler"

    Don't bother looking it up Recusant or anyone else for that matter.
    It's most likely tangential.
