Israeli fashion designer shakes up New York with T-Shirts, hoodies bearing this controversial message. Shirts are a hit, but designer receives death threats NEW YORK - The American political system sees its fair share of mudslinging, accusation and incendiary statements—especially during a presidential election campaign. An Israeli fashion designer residing in New York has, however, managed to stir up heated controversy in the city even in the midst of a hotly contested presidential campaign. The brouhaha began several weeks ago, when the American press began to examine the possibility that Senator Barack Obama might be a target for assassination should he win the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency. Obama is believed to have a real chance at becoming the first African-American US president, but many American are less than thrilled by this likely scenario. Doron Braunshtein, an Israeli fashion designer and owner of the Apollo Braun fashion boutique in New York, decided to capitalize on this sensational Obama story by creating his own line of T-shirts bearing the logo “Who killed Obama?” In creating this controversial clothing line, the designer had hoped to wed the political and fashion scenes, and comment on various societal phenomenon surrounding the heated election campaign. The “who shot Obama?” slogan is a throw back to popular 80’s TV show, Dallas, which featured the immortal line “who shot J.R.?” What was supposed to be a limited clothing line for New York’s youth soon caught fire, however, and became a fashion phenomenon all throughout the United States. With success came fierce debate and public scrutiny, as millions of Americans saw the shirts as blatant incitement against Obama and as a call for his assassination. The story received massive media coverage on TV, internet websites and in the US press. Photographers swooped on Braunshtein’s store hoping for a shot of the damning shirts and hoodies. Since everyone truly has their 15 minutes of fame, suffice it to say that all the Obama shirts very quickly sold out. Braunshtein had to quickly produce fresh stocks of the coveted T-shirts, sported by youngsters all throughout New York. Not all has been rosy for Braunshtein, however. Ironically, the shirts have lead to numerous death threats against the designer and a multitude of angry phone calls to his store and home. Braunshtein’s boutique window has also been spray painted and vandalized by people enraged by his clothing line. Conversely, many see these shirts as a defiant statement decrying American preoccupation with skin color as part of the presidential campaign, as well as the looming threats on Senator Obama’s life. One owner of the Obama T-shirt, Amy Weinstein, stated that she had purchased the shirt in order to “‘challenge those who are wholly preoccupied with Obama’s color, which has zero relevance to the election campaign, and to awaken the American public to this very ugly reality.”
Poster Comment: I got an idea for a new T-shirt line. A T-shirt with a Star of David and the words "I know who killed JFK." And another shirt with a Star of David with a picture WTC 7 collapsing and the words "I know who did 9-11."

The peace loving Israelis.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Business is business.
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... Ironically, the shirts have lead to numerous death threats against the designer and a multitude of angry phone calls to his store and home. ironically? i would think that would be expected.
Huh? became a fashion phenomenon all throughout the United States. I somehow missed this. Amy Weinstein What's in a name? Then again, front and back book covers are worth a thousand words: ...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... "Who told Bibi to stay out of the tubes on 7/7?" "Who killed how many American sailors of the USS Liberty?" "Who taught Americans to torture, rape and imprison thousands of Arabs w/o due process?" "Who receives multi-billions every year from US Taxpayers?" "Who still commits genocide?"

Dunno. Must be the Iranians? That's who were supposed to hate today isn't it? Had not looked at the calender yet, but that's who I thought it was.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" The ZioNazis hate Obama; a real good sign.

I am rather tired of some of these people.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Seems he didn't sign on the dotted line and wear the yarmulke at the wailing wall like Mcfascist did.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" I wonder if Bush will buy one of these shirts.
If our special forces had a ball they should take out Benji Netenyahoo.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Considering all the US does for Izzy, he's like family; call him Bibi, I do.

I trained in Phase 1 with Israeli officers. They go through the SF course quite often. What you suggest would be... awkward.
MIGHT be? It’s funny, but they have dozens of B. Hussein “death pools” floating around Scandinavia, I even had a cousin “invest” a 100 Kroner for me. Of course I’ve bet on horny toad races, too.
I would expect a shirt titled "who killed Bush" to not be tolerated by the secret service. Why is this one tolerated? I think the Jews plan on doing away with Obama and want to try to blame racist whites for it. I think that has been the plan all along. Obama is dumb not to see this.
God is always good!
