To make one look legit, all you'd have to do is Photoshop out the site URL and logo from the bottom corner.

I'd say that has to be what this picture is, but with the "Obama half breed muslin" lawn sign in Central Florida and hanging effigy at George Fox, who knows.

People are racist idiots. Who cannot spell.

Considering how the Bush administration went after a church whose priest said something pro-Obama on his own time, I expect this synagogue to be swarming with Federal agents within the hour. </p> They can lose their tax-exempt status, right?

The white rectangle to the right of the sign appears to be a volleyball or badminton net. Notice the area underneath it where there is no grass.

On the top line the B is a bit closer to the left edge than the E is to the right edge.

Lastly, the message is a seasonal one and yet there is no indication that these are changeable letters.

I vote Photoshop!
