NC parking lot owner - no spaces for Obama supporters by: Pam Spaulding Fri Oct 10, 2008 at 16:30:00 PM EDT

What kind of bigot crackpot businessman is this? In Gibsonville, NC, Tim Henderson has decided his distaste for Barack Obama should be channeled into bias against his supporters who wish to use his parking lot. Yes, McCain/Palin, this is your Base. "I don't know how many ways you can interpret it. If you're an Obama supporter, you've got an Obama sticker on your car, you're not welcome to park here," says Henderson. Henderson's a McCain supporter who insists he won't tow anyone off his lot for political reasons; he's just throwing a little humor into the presidential race. "I don't expect to go after anyone with a baseball bat. I would grin at 'em and laugh and ask 'em if they could read English," says Henderson. But some people who park on his lot don't find it so funny. "This is ridiculous," says Dave Dicke. Dicke works at a state agency across the street. The agency's employees have had an agreement to park on Henderson's lot for years. Some of them have Obama stickers on their private vehicles. Henderson had planned to leave the signs up through election day, but yesterday afternoon, the mayor of the city, Lenny Williams, said that the signs will be removed as a result of an agreement with the lot owner.
