This Cobb bar dude knows the significance of the monkey reference. That dude does controversial things for publicity. That's why I didn't bring that story over here.

Regardless of the nonracial connotations a monkey has, or whether some people think Obama actually looks like Curious George (not because he's black but because of his features), nonidiot people know what racial images this Obama monkey intended to conjure up.

Remember we are talking Marietta, Georgia off 75 North right around the GA 5 near Canton...

There is Atlanta Georgia and then there is the REST of Georgia...

That is how it's always been told to me when visiting....heh...

This clown knew what he was doing...matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he got the idea from Rush Limbaugh's flap a few months earlier:
