Lily Lake Man Says "No Brozos"

We can't get past the idiotic concept to even decide whether or not it's the "racial slur" it's being described as. A man in way-west suburban Lily Lake is causing quite the kerfuffle over a sign he's placed on his property along Route 47. The sign shows Barack Obama wearing a clown nose and wig, overlaid with a classic red circle with a line through it and the words "NO BROZOS". This is actually the second version of the sign to be displayed -- the first one was torn down and vandalized. Not taking any chances this time, the new one has a ring of barbed wire around it. "Fer sure no one be messin' with mah sign now!" Police have received a complaint about the sign, but they aren't going to do anything about it because of that whole "free speech" thing and all.

Somebody better tell the REAL Brozo that he's not welcome in Kane County. [D-H]
