    Here's the guy claiming responsibility.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I'm no fan of Kamala (to say the least) but to link "Black people must sit at the back of the bus" in ANY sort anti-Kamala message is out of line. Full stop. It doesn't matter who it's "against" and it makes it worse that it's not even necessary to convey the point. It's not irony and it's not humorous.
    Freedom of speech isn?t free if you?re told what you can or cannot say. (?Insert -You can?t yell fire in a theater rebuttal here.?)

    It seems like the signs are referring to the fact that the left is pandering and importing illegals to replace the black vote which they are losing. The race hustlers are losing their grip.

    People are mentally tired of the name calling from the left and don?t give a shit anymore and its about time. Say what you want and don?t give the left an inch of their self perceived morale high ground.

    Only white people aren?t allowed to be racist.

    Here's the guy claiming responsibility.
    A Republican activist who publicly mused about shooting Latinos this week is claiming credit for racist signs that appeared overnight in Denver on Thursday.

    Sabo complained about Venezuelans and other Latinos, and used an ethnic slur for the Latino journalist who covered the racist signs posted outside the Capitol and the closure of the apartment complex in Aurora.


    So it wasn't a joke but a political statement???

    Yuck.

    Jer is right- it's not funny.

    The 1st Amendment isn’t about the speech you like.
    It’s about the speech you DONT like.

    It’s an indictment of the logical endpoint of the intersectional group rights mindset of the modern progressives and leftists. I can explain it, but I can’t understand it for you.

    Anyone labelling this ‘racist’ doesn’t understand history, politics, satire or the blending of those. It is about as intellectually sophisticated as people complaining about the word “niggardly”.

    Now maybe I am niggardly handing out points for understanding this. Yes, it is provocative. But if said “Whites to the back of the bus”, it probably wouldn’t have made the news. If we had truly educated reporters, they would report on the nuance behind the message and let people decide. Even better, if we had an educated electorate, they would see that with out being told.

    If you don’t get the allusion to the back of the bus, maybe you belong on a short bus.

    Yeah, it's pretty messed up and the exact type of thing that makes Democrats so comfortable labeling all Republicans as racists. They see stuff like this posted in a (largely) Republican setting and a bunch of members laughing about it and then ganging up on the one guy who dares to ask them to question if they're openly supporting racism and you can see why they draw such conclusions. I'm glad I'm not the only one here who possess the power of critical thinking and not wanting to support bad actions simply because they're bad actions regardless of who's expense they're at. I thought I was losing my mind for a moment the way the mob pounced on me for trying to be the voice of reason. Some real quality upstanding citizens here that makes you wonder why anyone wouldn't want to be associated with them.

    The 1st Amendment is about protecting your right to speak out against your government without the fear of persecution. It's not about protecting the ability to be a blatant bigot demeaning groups of people for the color of their skin lightly cloaked in political agenda to gain the support of a bunch of room temperature IQ Republicans who'll flock to anything that seems to degrade the left without applying even a modicum of critical thinking. Just a bunch of lowest-common-denominator-type tribalism by people who don't even have enough of a spine to stand up for their own actions and instead say things like "well, they did it first!" as if that excuses anyone's behavior. What are we, five? Pathetic.

    Full stop.

    But the sign doesn't say that, does it? No. It says:

    It's not "provocative" and saying I "don't understand history" because I call it what it is (racism) is the definition of irony. (Since others seemed to struggle with the definition of that word earlier)

    Anyone who thinks that anything associated with that sign is funny doesn't understand history.

    I think you misunderstood my post.

    I still think the sign is funny.

    I was hoping the guy that put them up did so on a lark, not as a political statement.

    Saying the sign is a political statement sucks all the levity out of it. Zealots on any side are humorless people.

    Besides, we all know it's not the blacks or the illegals that are the problem-

    It's the Jews!

    I also think it's funny.
