    But you posted it without any statement that it was unrelated. Thinking it had something to do with Lindell and Bakker would be the natural interpretation. It would have been better to add a comment of "not made by Lindell and Baker, but..." before posting the picture.

      The mocking image you posted was constructed by Obama's opponents, and hence your call for mockery reduces to the claim that it's okay to mock him because we're mocking him.

        This is valid criticism, Whag.

        Between the link to the story and the image, it should have been obvious before posting that the image was always going to attract more attention. That said, if there's a story behind the image, it seems to me to be at least as compelling as any story of two crazy grifters grifting crazy.

          So I find that very misleading and dishonest of you Whag. Shame on you.
          The billboard is not a parody, which leads to the next obvious question, who, what ... I mean, where do you find people, Christians even, who would put up a sign like that, as versus descending in a mob to tear it down?
          .
          Fort Oglethorpe is part of both Catoosa County and Walker County. Both counties are part of Georgia's 14th congressional district which is represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

          Okay, nevermind.

            I feel sorry for the guy as it is obvious that he is having severe difficulties adjusting to the reality that old Joe is the president. He's taken the whole Not My President mantra that was so popular on the left these past four years to another level

            I'm always still in trouble again

              Soooo like many of the Democrats who believed that the election was stolen and Hillary was president. Hillary herself, went around for years making that claim.

              A tiny fraction compared to what we saw with the Obamessiah.

                It's so far over the top I'm surprised that Lindell or even Bakker would be a part of that


                ETA: I see from further posts that whag was dishonestly associating the billboard to them.

                        B-but I'm always finding more and am always eager to include them in the next posting of the collection to illustrate what actual unadulterated veneration and worship of a president really looks like.

                          Yes, but he is unconvincingly claiming that he never intended to imply any such association.

                            BTW, since Eugenia Scott tweeted about that billboard, it’s come down. Eugenia Scott is a famous opponent of intelligent design and super experienced with Christian fundamentalist nuttiness.

                            But the way you posted it, with just a link and that photo it was misleading and made people think that Lindell made the billboard. And you did nothing to correct anyone when they took it that way. That's dishonest.

                            I agree Lindell sounds like a nut reading the article and watching the video. You should have just quoted the article and linked the video.

                                You're not a bad guy, Whag. Why not just admit you should have been more forthright about the origin of the billboard?
