Sinking to a new, cultural low and level of ignorance and stupidity:

A car-lot displaying the message, "President Or Jihad?" is causing a stir in the Denver area of Colorado, and elsewhere.

The billboard says "Prove it, Wake up America! Remember Ft. Hood! " and shows a cartoon President Obama wearing an Islamic-style turban.

Prior to this, and in its place, was a billboard which read, "Where's the birth certificate?," which was supported by radio host Peter Boyle and right-wing site World Net Daily. The owner of the lot, Phil Wolf, donated the space.

A billboard showing President Barack Obama wearing a turban has sparked a lot of attention at the suburban Denver used car dealership that put it up.
The sign, completed Thursday by artist David Lee of Arvada, shows a grinning, cartoonish Obama and bears the words: “PRESIDENT or JIHAD?”

Underneath the image is a yellow square with the phrase, “BIRTH CERTIFICATE, PROVE IT!”

The words “WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD” appear at the bottom of the billboard at Wolf Interstate Leasing and Sales about seven miles west of Denver.

General Manager Wayne Means says the dealership has seen strong opinions about the sign, both for and against it. The left-leaning advocacy group MoveOn.org called the billboard “racist” and is asking customers to boycott the business.

Dealership owner Phil Wolf was unavailable for comment.
