Sign Protest

An anti-Barack Obama sign in Hendersonville draws a crowd of protesters.

They say the sign is racist and had no business on one of the city's busiest highways.

The owner of the sign, realtor Jimmy Edney says it has nothing to do with racism.

The sign said "Osama-Obama, Not American, Not Welcome."

But, those six words have infuriated some democrats, republicans, and independents.
