Billboard identified as being located south of West Plains on U.S. 63 across from the Dairy Queen 'Right Wing' Conspiracy

The phrase has been bandied about for decades. The basic premise is there are 'those others', right wingers, that are accused of using everything, the much alluded to 'kitchen sink' as well as whatever 'else' is lying around to throw at any candidate that tends to disagree with their vision of the stewardship of the United States of America.

The photo displayed is of a billboard, identified at this link, as being located:

.... south of West Plains on U.S. 63 across from the Dairy Queen

According to the article, local residents are disturbed by billboard's appearance.

For almost two years, as the various candidates announced their intent to run, one specific candidate, from one of the two major political parties, Senator Barack Obama, has stood out from the crowd in a visual way, due to his skin color.

There wasn't anything truly special about his run as a person of color. He wasn't the first person of color to attempt to run within his party, the Democratic Party. The Republican Party saw Alan Keyes run for president in their party.

The uniqueness of the candidacy of Barack Obama has been, he has succeeded in winning his party's nomination, a first time in history occurrence. America has come very far since the days of slavery, Jim Crow segregation. Or has it?

Many generations of Americans, all colors, have lived, in many instances, side by side next to one another, coming to realize that people, in general are all trying to get through their lives without major disruptions, seeing themselves as having more in common with than at odds with their neighbor, who happens to be a different color.

Of course, for some, who have embraced the mantle of the segregationists of old, this reality could be viewed as a culmination of their worst nightmares, if one is to believe the literature that is dispensed by those clinging to a mission to reclaim a country that has since moved into territory they do not embrace.

I once heard a line in a movie I found interesting and intriguing, and I paraphrase its content, which was, the sign of a really good conspiracy was it couldn't be proven.

In this case, unlike the actions of COINTELPRO, organized against United States citizens, the idea of a 'Right Wing Conspiracy', where each person is assigned a specific job or task and it's on some sort of record what was desired to be accomplished, most likely does not exist.

Any alleged conspiracy would most likely be the implied 'understanding' of the persons or groups involved that gives rise to a campaign of slander and innuendo, often facillitated by the 'whisper campaign', "Had you heard? So and so did this, that or the other thing!".

Whether or not there is a 'Right Wing Conspiracy', odds are it can't be proven but, there are some indicators of patterns that seem to suggest repetitive patterns of actions, which many find to be of a nefarious nature, chief among those being, accusations of any and almost all Democratic candidates as 'left leaning', 'oddball' and 'un-American'.

Of course, the official Party of any who may use these tactics often distances themselves from any knowledge or support of its members or constituents who pursue this line of activity, as it should.

What remains is a set of circumstances, based in reality, that lend themselves to manipulation by any who choose to forward the momentum of any attempts a keeping the 'conspiracy' alive.

In Resselaer County in New York, absentee ballots were sent out.

A typographical error on the the ticket selection resulted in the name of the Democratic Party candidate's name to be listed as Barack Osama for president.

It appears no charges will be forthcoming.
