Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit

quote:
A 25-year-old New York City graduate student is threatening to sue a T-Shirt designer after being assaulted for wearing one of his designs.

The woman bought a $69 shirt from Apollo Braun's Manhattan boutique that bore the words, "Obama is my slave." When she wore the shirt on Tuesday, four teenage girls accosted her - shoving her, pulling out her earphones, and spitting in her face, according to the New York edition of Metro News.

The unnamed woman is reportedly seeking solace by suing Braun - born Doron Braunshtein - for "all he's got," the designer claims. He, of course, is shirking any responsibility for the incident and says that the shirt reflects the views of "ordinary WASPs."

�For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,� the Israeli-born designer said.

�I can�t stand Obama,� Braun says, but claims that it's not because the candidate is black. �That�s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.�

�He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,� Braun explained, adding he does not like the Illinois senator because �he is a Muslim� � a myth that Obama apparently cannot escape.

The designer has sold several other anti-Obama styles from his boutique, including shirts with slogans such as �Jews Against Obama,� �Obama = Hitler� and �Who Killed Obama?�

CORe version: Some Jew designer hates Muslims and made a shirt slamming Obama. Some dumb bitch dropped $69 on the shirt (obviously not a Jew) and got her ass kicked (presumably by black kids).

How the fuck can she think that it's the DESIGNERS fault for her getting her ass kicked because she CHOSE to wear it!?

People in this country are fucking stupid, and the fact that the court system will even waste money and entertain this trial is absolute bullshit. Jesus Christ.

Flagrant dumbassery on both ends abounds in this story.

Yeah, Adolf Hitler the Muslim who is going to open the door to minorities, right?

Sometimes I wish idiocy were grounds for exile.

Oh for the record I don't mean Jew in any type of derogatory fashion. He might not even be Jewish. But someone from Israel hating Obama because he THINKS he's a Muslim is probably a Jew.

Remember J.S. Mill, Brian: If it weren't for idiocy, we wouldn't know what stupidity is like
