Small-town store under fire for racist sign display - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

"A convenience store in Mayhill, New Mexico, is facing a backlash for the collection of incendiary signs plastering its store windows.
The signs have sparked outrage online and brought fresh attention to the small-town shop, even though they've been on display for years.
The messages are peppered with aggressive threats and discriminatory language that mostly targets President Obama."

A lot of them are unprintable and had to be blurred in the photo above, but the messages that are left are still far from tame.
"Kill Obama (care)," proclaims one, with "(care)" in a small, inconspicuous font.
"Send the half breed Back to Keyna (sic)."
"Where is the KKK when you need them?"
CNN has been unable to contact the owner of the store. The phone number listed for the store has been disconnected.
Some of the posters attack Hillary Clinton, telling her to stay home and "keep Monica away from Bill!"
Still others forgo ad hominem insults, declaring instead that "We need background checks on politicians, not gun owners," or simply "Bullets not ballots." (visit link)
