Digital anti-Obama billboards popping up in Atlanta

Who's Behind the Anti-Obama Billboards?


Last Updated On: 4/2/2010 8:33:46 PM



ATLANTA - 11Alive News first broke the story about several anti-Obama billboards that popped up around Atlanta two days ago.

On Friday we found out who's behind them.

"There's a group of entrepreneurs, small business owners, that have frankly just said, 'we've had enough' and they're taking the gloves off," says Atlanta author and motivational speaker Tommy Newberry.

Newberry is an outspoken conservative whose books include, "The War on Success: How the Obama Agenda is Shattering the American Dream".

He has now come forward as the spokesman for what he says are about a dozen business owners who hatched the idea for the billboards about two months ago.

He says they are political conservatives who are unsatisfied and troubled with the direction the Obama administration is taking America.

21. DARKER
So, it should be obvious to everyone which one of these individuals is of the darker persuasion. Boehner!

2. so I wonder who this group of "small business owners" are?
Being in Atlanta, I'd like to see them reveal themselves and let the people decide if they want to do business with them.

6. Teabaggers of the South, unite! Create "angry black man" billboards to scare up racist votes!
Hopefully, this assholery will have the effect of galvanizing sane Dem and indie voters to go to the polls in November.

7. You can leave a little "love note" for Mr. Newberry:
at this link:

http://www.tommynewberry.com/contact-us.php

As I've already tried, you can use Guest as your name and guest@invalidemail.com - those 2 fields are required. Then I left a nice little note for him.'

I'm sure he'd love to hear from as many "fans" as possible!

Hoppy Easter!

8. I saw the "Now it's personal" message
on a billboard along I-75 in north Florida last week as I was driving back to Gwinnett -- just that phrase, with no mention or picture of Obama. I'd bet the same people are behind the ones in Atlanta.

9. How is Obama and the Democrats shattering the American Dream
maybe the republican dream of not being able to cheat their way into taking over another election. But this administration is doing a hell of a lot better in one year for this country than bush and the republicans did in eight years. Stuff like this is what makes me angry. What in the hell is wrong with these people. I have never said this before but since all this crap appears mostly in the south I am saying this and damn it to hell they are a bunch of RACIST THROUGH AND THROUGH AND UPSET BECAUSE WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT. NOW...

11. That's what I don't get
but OTOH the people whom come up with such BS billboards aren't really much of the thinking kind anyway and there is really no "logic" per se to be found with people like them. It would be nice if they were made to answer the question of HOW exactly Obama is "shattering the American dream" if and when anybody with any journalistic skills/integrity and gumption bothers to ask such a simple follow up question. :eyes:

22. I would see about putting pressure on the company Action Outdoor.
Identify their employer how politically active they are.
Do a sting operation to see if they refuse to put up Democratic type billboards.
Keep a record of what messages go up on their billboards.
Find out what network or other they associate and make it difficult for them.

24. Completely delusional and irrational mentality....
"Obama Socialism"; What exactly does that mean? I am aware of what Socialism is since I am a Democratic Socialist, but when they say things like "Stop Obama Socialism" I would like to know the specifics of what they are referring too, it just does not make any damn since until they explain them selves in a coherent manner.

The 'out spoken' con is full of shit and just stirring the pot like all the other 'cons' do, just rhetoric begetting rhetoric that is loaded with lies and misinformation, all done to insight fear.

If they hate Socialism so much, why are they not trying to make the Fire and Police Departments for-profit agencies or all the other Socialized sectors we have? However, since they are non specific about what they are against, and it is just "Obama Socialism", I would say that those nut sacks at "billboardsagainstobama.com' are just bigots

Tommy Newberry is a hack, a joke.
