 If you mean forging the President elect's signature, I'm sure there is somewhere. But that is above our paygrade. As for the content....it is sleazy as well as stupid but I don't think it breaks any rule. Some people have made an art form of skating on the edge. If someone knows of a rule it breaks, I'll bow to their judgement.

    • Ok, I assume you mean the hatred, bigotry or racism portion. I don't feel that it incites or advocates any of those. Does it express bigotry, hatred or racism? Probably, but not definitively enough for me to delete the thread. It does express profound ignorance on the part of the author but I think it's best to let the members here deal with that.

    Ira-

    Under your interpretation of that rule we often couldn't quote Obama, and Wright would be off limits altogether.

    Gunny is right. This does fall under free speech. Which still today does somewhat exist in America. Not to say we allow all of this. It was a photo of Hitler that got this group closed in the past.
