  I’ve been hearing about this billboard, which is apparently very visible on I-95.

  The billboard is paid for by APSuperPAc.org, the crazy people who also endorse Alan West. I suspect, though, that fear-mongering like this works, at least some. More about Obama’s Jewish support in Florida from the [...]
