Customer Ayman Wafai said, "You know it's 2011, looking at it now, I see nothing really more than a display of racism and bigotry."

Well, you moved here.

Its his restaurant, he can put whatever he wants on the wall, if he wants to run the Hitler, Stalin and Obama cafe thats his right.

And it's the right of people offended by it to publicize the poster, call, write, publish op-eds, boycott, picket, pressure businesses who trade with him, etc. Neat how that works, huh?

Heh. Don't like it? Don't eat there. That poster has to be 30 something years old. I've seen it in another joint in North Texas quite some time ago. It's probably still on the wall alongside his old Ronbo poster. It was fairly commonplace to see anti Iranian media. Hell, my HS algebra teacher had this bumper sticker on her 79 Pacer

"Hey, it's old stupidity, so it shouldn't count, right? I mean, sure, it was dumb 30 years ago, but it was 30 years ago and for a different issue, so it's OK."

Restaurant owner is an idiot. It's simple - just don't eat there. Protesting this idiot just gets him attention, and attention these days, no matter how it's gained, is good. The very fact that there's a newspaper article about this stupidity is advertising for this idiot.

Huh, when I read the headline I assumed it would have been posted by a liberal critic of these alleged plans to bomb Iran, calling out Obama for being just like Bush.

"Listen, if this was another race, if we were looking at a picture of an African American, or Asian American, Native American, even, this would be a very, very huge deal," Wafai said.

"Iranian" isn't a race.

It was propaganda made during a time when the Iranians had stormed our embassy and were holding people hostage. He's displaying it in some corner of his restaurant...Get over it. If I'm ever in Katy Texas, I'll stop in for some BBQ.

Pretty much all that needs to be said. Actually, everyone seemed pretty smart in the article--no irrelevant claims of First Amendment rights or anything.

I thought it was Cowboys and Aliens? Wait a minute...now it's all starting to make sense....

"Blazing Saddles" is 30+ years old and I still laugh at all the racial/biggoted dialogue every time I watch it. I just don't see the point in getting flustered about this.

/Irish and Texan.

Where can I purchase a copy of this fine art? Who could be offended by this , except maybe the GAY Iranians, but wait ; there are no GAY Iraninas. Never mind.

Jack Black 62: No problem with that at all, as long as you don't picket on private property. I'm willing to bet you would love the idea of the government forcing him to take the poster down.

That's not what he said and that's not what's happening. Stop pretending that jackboots are on every inch of your land, gramps.

2011-11-04 01:22:58 PM
"It's my choice to have it up. It's your choice to go where you want to go. But I'm not going to take it down." Well put, sir. I would've given this story a "Hero" tag.
 
2011-11-04 01:23:26 PM
Since we are working so diligently to remove "God" from the American language, It would only be politically correct, to remove "Iran" also?
I'm just sayin .......

"I don't think something like this should really be accepted by any community," Wafai said.

Yeah, he ought to look at the things they do back home, such as actually beheading "wizards" and "witches," before he starts talking shiat about goofy-30 year-old posters.

Fark the Iranians. Fark them hard. Round them up and send them back to Iran.

I am so sick of these PC'ers expecting Americans to just eat shiat, eat shiat, eat shiat, while foreigners kill us, abuse us, insult us, take us hostage, etc.

Fark the Iranians. Fark them.

I'd rather play cowboys and congress
 
2011-11-04 01:30:57 PM
A cowboy, and indian, and an african american sitting around a camp fire. The indian says "Once we were many,now we are few", the black guy starts laughing, the indian asks why? "Once was few, now we is many!", the cowboy starts laughing, the black man asks him why? "We aint played Cowboys and Ni##ers yet!"
 
2011-11-04 01:31:16 PM
Yep, sure enough... Saw the headline and the first thing that I thought was "Texas". Mhmm.

Let the bigot keep his sign. It's not like taking it down will improve his mind or his attitude. I think it's a horrible sign, but I'm with the "if you don't like it don't spend your money there" crowd.
 
2011-11-04 01:32:17 PM
I stop by a Army Surplus store every now and then near me.
It's completely covered in Anti-Obama posters. And not just "O-Bummer" posters.
Like, cartoons of him looking like a monkey and guns to his head posters.
Am I offended on a "You knuckle draggers need to stop breathing out of your mouths" type of anger?
Ya.

But it's his store and I don't have to go there.
 
2011-11-04 01:32:34 PM
Well, prior to reading the article, I was all set to whip out my "1979 called - they want their poster back" comment, and lo and behold, it turns out to be a poster from 1979.

\got nuthin' now
 
2011-11-04 01:33:29 PM
The complainer is lucky Carter was too much of a wuss to nuke them back in '79. That's the only reason he's alive today.

I would've turned Iran into a glass factory. We wouldn't have the issues today if we had taken care of business back then. Iran's invasion of our Embassy was declaration of war just as the 9/11 attacks.
 
2011-11-04 01:33:51 PM
Nonmacher told me many of the people complaining right now have never been to the restaurant to eat.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the least... Once it's been blogged about, someone posts the "Outrage" photo with bad teeth and the rest is history...

I'm sure most people outside of 50 miles had never even heard of this place until this story came along, myself included. Now? If I ever find myself close to this place I will make the time to swing into the place for vittles even if I'm not hungry...

Stupid people are stupid and need to grow a sack before everyone is pussy whipped to the point of it being to late to do anything... "When they came for ____..." and all that jazz...

Oh wait, this is Ameri-cuh, it's already too late.
 
2011-11-04 01:34:04 PM
I like people's responses. Apparently this man can do whatever he wants with his business, but his customers can't choose to speak publicly about why their upset. They have to just get over it.

Maybe he should just get over people saying they don't like his sign.

/Plus, his sauce is crap.
//Go to Goode Co.
 
2011-11-04 01:34:54 PM
Well, it's certainly his right to hang what he likes on his wall.

It's definitely in bad taste, and I have to question his judgment, to hang a picture of a lynching with a guy hanging from a tree.

It's not a matter of race/nationality, but anyone who celebrates the death of another human being, and hangs a picture of the deed up, is a twisted farker.

Idiots complaining about it don't even eat BBQ. Delicious smoked PORK.

You know what I'd say to anyone who doesn't like this? 'I'll be glad to take it down just as soon as I receive a formal written apology from Iran for taking hostages and over running our embassy. Until then, Fark Off and DIAF.'

I am going to go out on a limb an guess that his business will not suffer much.

It is Katy Texas not San Francisco CA

Right. Because the Ayatollah gives a damn what some redneck restaurant owner has on his wall. Truly, a victory we can all be proud of.
