GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A billboard in western Colorado that used caricatures to depict President Barack Obama as a terrorist, gangster, Mexican bandit and a gay man has been taken down.
The billboard along an Interstate 70 business loop in Grand Junction had drawn fire from both local Republican and Democratic officials. Artist Paul Snover of Loma says he has received what he calls “very hateful” e-mails and phone calls.
Snover has said he couldn’t reveal who paid for the sign. The Daily Sentinel said he couldn’t be reached Friday to explain why it was removed.
The owner of a company where the sign was erected says she’s glad it’s gone because it attracted such a crowd.
