Georgia Republican Zings Obama in Hammer-And-Sickle Ad

[Elmore Furth]

Here's one version of the billboard in Mason City last year.

ATLANTA (AP) -- A conservative Georgia Republican congressional candidate is criticizing President Barack Obama in roadside billboards that use the communist hammer-and-sickle symbol.

The three ads from candidate Jody Hice ask passers-by: ''Had Enough Of Obama's Change?'' The ''C'' in change is replaced by the hammer and sickle. The symbol was associated with iron-fisted 20th-century dictators.

Hice said he considers some policies of the Democratic president socialist, including government bailouts for the auto industry and an overhaul of the health insurance system.

Georgia's Democratic Party calls the ads inappropriate and distasteful, but says Hice has the right to say what he wants.

1. That's a Zing???

The definition of being zinged has gotten broader and less witty

[MadMaddie]

2. It's tacky and sophomoric!

They can't come up with anything real to oppose President Obama with so their fall back "Fear".

[DefenseLawyer]

3. Fluoridation, Mandrake.

Sure, that's a zing... if by zing you mean right-wing craziness that makes any casual observer think you are a nut.

[ClassWarrior]

4. How much of some unemployed person's former paycheck did the board cost you, asshole?

NGU.

[onehandle]

5. 'Jody is a member of the NRA and Gun Owners of America'

'In 2003 Jody was thrust into the public arena when the ACLU instigated a lawsuit against the Barrow County Board of Commissioners to force removal of a display of the Ten Commandments from the county’s Courthouse. Viewing this as an attack upon the freedom of religious expression and upon the cultural and spiritual heritage of our nation, Jody founded Ten Commandments – Georgia, Inc. to raise money to pay for the county’s legal defense, saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Shortly thereafter, Jody established Let Freedom Ring Ministries, Inc. to continue defending constitutional liberty. LFR sponsors The Jody Hice Show and Hope for America Rallies across the nation.'
