RACIST & BIGOTED North Carolina Billboard Comes Under Fire

Boy...Just when you thought the Right Wing couldn't possibly stoop any lower, along comes this article.

Here's an excerpt...

A group that is trying to tighten the standards for obtaining driver's licenses has come under fire for plans to post a billboard with a picture of an Arab clutching a grenade and a North Carolina license.

Now I have to ask...Have we become so obsessed with the War on Terror and Homeland Security that we don't trust anyone who wasn't born in American anymore?

That's the subject of Tonight's Real Deal.

The billboard, scheduled to go up this month near the State Capitol in , shows a man in traditional Arab scarf. The billboard reads Don't license terrorists, North Carolina.

And here's the scary part - North Carolina won't be alone. Similar boards are slated for New Mexico and Wisconsin, according to

This group claims that their goal is a "safer" America. I have no problem with that BUT....

If this this their biggest concern, I've got a newsflash for them - America is in FAR GREATER danger from DRUNK DRIVERS and other people who persist on running from the law in high speed pursuits that it is from (supposedly licensed) "terrorists".

If you ask me, I think its high time the Right Wing STOP picking on Arab Americans and painting ALL Arabs with the same goddamn fuckin' brush. We have bigger & far worse domestic problems than this. Don't fall for it.

Amanda Bowman, President of The Coalition for a Secure Driver's License, care to share any of your data that supports your claims that terrorists are still being licensed? If so, I'd love to see/hear it.

Or are you just spewing forth a bunch of Right Wing Spin Machine Mumbo Jumbo nonsense that's only supposed to make sense?

That, ladies & gentlemen, is Tonight's Real Deal.
