"I Swastika Obama" Carved on Golf Course

Posted by Sammy Rose Saltzman
VIDEO AND STORY CONTRIBUTED BY CBS AFFILIATE WBZ BOSTON

LAKEVILLE, Mass. (WBZ) Someone carved the letter "I" then a swastika and the word "Obama" on the 18th hole at the Lakeville Country Club.

It was discovered early Monday morning by greens keepers.

The Secret Service confirms it is working closely with Lakeville police on the case.

"It's just so insulting to the human race and it just shouldn't be part of our doings by anybody. I just can't understand it. It's unforgivable," course owner Gary Mosca told WBZ.

Mosca says he's going to have to call in turf experts to repair the damage.

He doesn't expect it to be completely fixed until next spring.

The swastika isn't necessarily backwards. All forms of the swastika have been around for several thousand years and has appeared in virtually every culture, not just Native Americans. It means good luck and well being and is a sign of anything auspicious.

People are saying this person is stupid, ignorant etc. Doesnt everyone get the joke? Obama just got "branded" as a noble peace prize winner for less than 6 months work (when voting closed). He is a "Symbol" of Peace according to Nobel panel. What was the Swastika originally a symbol of? and the collective penny drops...

Many times when symbols of "hate" or violence are found - (i.e. noose on a dorm room door, swastika spray painted on a congressman's office sign, smashed windows at a DNC office) the perpetrator turns out to be someone from the left or a minority group trying those that they hate (i.e. republicans, whites, etc.) look bad. Even the so called ?racist? picture of Obama looking like the Joker was made by one of his supporters. I will not be surprised when the person(s) who did this turn out to be from the political left ? of course I doubt anyone who is currently blaming the right for this will have the integrity to apologize when that turns out to be the case.

slow news day huh?

People need to stop yelling "hate crime", the secret service needs to go home, and lakeville P.D needs to get off their lazy @sses and ask the all of 5 or 6 people it will take to figure out who did it. Seriously. Half the town probably already knows. Word travels fast in freeville-laketown. Especially when hilarity of this nature and proportion ensues.

This is way above and beyond what is necessary by any stretch of the imagination on any plane of reality. The stupidity of Lakeville, MA has now spread to Washington DC (or arguably, vice versa). Spend the money on something else.... something that doesnt involve chasing down what will inevitably end up being some retarded @ss kids that probably go to or graduated from Apponequet.

Obama needs to stop playing f*cking scooby-doo and go run the G.D country. Feeding into it is only going to ensure that it keeps happening. Let The Enterprise run a two line blurb about it to sell a couple more papers, and then leave it alone.

BTW, Lakeville.... your shenanigans are severely missed from 2000 miles away. You've definitely shown the world how epicly the government and the Lakeville PD can FAIL.

It is you and people like yuo who wish to minimize the existence of racism as a fact. By minimizing and trying to make a joke of this serious concern, you only serve to give it your approval. This will not do. And stop trying to negate the importance of this sickness by thinking of it as some type of "hilarity". It is not funny at all. Get real.

OBAMA SUPPORTS POLICIES THAT ARE FASCIST. IT IS NO SUPRISE THAT A SWASTIKA IS ATTACHED TO HIS NAME. HOWEVER, THE LEFT FACING SWASTIKA IS A NATIVE AMERICAN SYMBOL THAT PRE-DATES THE EUROPEAN INVASION IN 1492.

Oh, what a surprise. Probably one of those golf courses that didn't allow Jews or blacks and now some of their upstanding Republican memebers are trying to push off their Nazi thinking onto Obama. No surprise really. Just typical Republican behavior.

Compare these two videos if you want to be amazed. Best without sound so you can concentrate on the body motions. Look at the head movements, facial expressions, body movement, and hand gestures.

IDENTICAL. It is the most amazing thing you will see.
Limbaugh acts like a Hitler clone.

Watch this youtube video of Limbaugh (from his own cam) and you will see acts just like Adolf Hitler. I mean EXACTLY.
Limbaugh is a Nazi and follower of Hitler.

"The Nazi party was but one of a large number of small extremist groups in Munich at this time. But Hitler soon discovered that he had two remarkable talents - for public oratory and for inspiring personal loyalty. His street-corner oratory, attacking the Jews, the socialists and liberals, and Communists, began to attract adherents."

ATTACKING - SOCIALISTS, LIBERALS, COMMUNISTS.....to attract followers.
Odd, sounds just like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck and the things they spew every single day as they scream into the microphone.
So how does a black President fit into the Nazi party?
Well there you have absolute historical proof folks - The Obama haters are followers of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
Be warned America, the Nazi party is re-surfacing in America as the Republican right wing and it is identical as what happened in Germany prior to Hitler.
The next time a right winger spews the exact words of Hitler remember they are a NAZI and liars.

Exactly. Because you know this one idiot doing this makes every other argument based on racisim. RIGHT!!!!
by bubbadubba October 13, 2009 6:24 PM EDT
Interesting.
Hitler blamed all of Germany's problems on the Left Wing Liberals (read his writings) and yet the oxycontin popping right wingers who hate liberals say Obama is a Nazi.
Make sense to you?
Well it would if you were high on illegal pain killers I guess.
See we shouldn't blame the Obama haters, they are stoned on illegal prescription drugs and cocain.

Remember the mccain/palin worker in PA who carved the B on her face. It too was backwards - she did it herself, and claimed a black man did it!

Is it still a Par 4 hole?
It would be at least an extra stroke to shoot around it.

Speculation and divisive chatter surrounding an issue like this is just ignorant. The focus should be on catching the person that destroyed a large area of private property. Once they are caught maybe we will get the reason and intended meaning behind the crime.

Not sure about the vandalism but the content is constitutionally protected speeh and does not specify or imply a threat to anyone. Looks like the secret service is inventing work for itself by taking advantage of ordinary vandalism.

----------------------------





What? Not sure it was illegal tresspass or actually vandalizing someone else's property?

Are you serious, in your attempt to condone this behavior which is definitely against the law?

Seems as if the extremist rightwads have gone completely over the cliff!
