"It’s racist, it’s homophobic, and it’s really cowardly.”

It's a billboard that dares to criticize the One:

So a full scale investigation of the artist and the potential patron of the critical billboard ensues, natch:

While it’s unknown who paid for the billboard, the artist is Loma resident Paul Snover.

“I am not allowed to say who (paid for it) at this time,” Snover said in an e-mail Tuesday. “If it had been me, I would have included the Republicans as part of the problem.”

Still, Snover’s political views are well-known. An Internet search of the self-described “constitutionalist libertarian” revealed numerous blog postings in which he talks about his support for tea party and 9/12 groups.

“The Constitution has been thrown in the trash and burned by our very own government and we the people watched TV while America burned! The enemy is not at the gate, it is a cancer within our own borders,” Snover wrote on the Mesa County Second Amendment Task Force website. “From what I have learned of history and what I see going on in all levels of government, I can but conclude that there is no constitutional republic any more, only a sick tyrannical twisted dictatorship. “

Mesa County Democratic Party Chairwoman Martelle Daniels called the billboard racist and homophobic, while her GOP counterpart, Mesa County Republican Party Chairman Chuck Pabst, called it “juvenile.”

It's also called free speech which is something that is beyond reproach when an artist uses bodily waste to depict the Virgin Mary or Jesus.  Heck, the government has even paid for that "art" in the past.  And, of course, we all know how the left was completely respectful in their criticism of Bush don't we?  I am sure there were news articles condemning all the hate speech - somewhere - if you come across one let me know.

"Miss Me Yet" Mystery

Via Memeorandum
 Instapundit had this posted earlier and now video has been posted at Breitbart TV.  This mysterious billboard looks an awful lot like Troglopundit's Bush automotivator.  NPR  reports the billboard is indeed real but the push is on to find out who paid for the billboard and whether or not the message is ironic?

At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn't thrilled by President Barack Obama's performance so far -- unless it's a more ironic message from those who didn't think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.

Anyone out there know anything about where it came from? Tell us and we'll pass the word to Bob. As he says, we could do a little crowdsourcing.

If it is Troglopundit's , the original intent was certainly not ironic and I sincerely doubt whoever paid for it to be posted on a billboard intended the message to be ironic either.   There appears to be a groundswell of support for more billboards too.  From the comments at the NPR post:

Please find out so we can start contribution to help pay for more...all over the country. 

How about t-shirts?
