Birther Oklahoma Man Erects Tombstone With Obama’s Name On It As Halloween Display

Posted by | October 13, 2014 10:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


As Oklahoma family has been putting up a tombstone with President Obama’s name on it for three years.  One neighbor who recently moved into the area said, “I was absolutely offended.”

“He is the president of the United States and it actually is about respect,” Ms. Phillips said. “It’s a total respect thing because this person is still alive.”

Dwayne Dockens said, he’s sorry if people took it the wrong way but he has no plans on taking the tombstone down, according to KOCO.com.

“I certainly didn’t mean to offend anybody or cause any problems. Don’t know that I would take it down,” he said.

Dockens claims the tombstone which reads, “Obama ?” is harmless.

“[My family and I] made them a few years ago back when it was a big deal, questions up about [Obama’s] birth certificate,” Dockens said. “And we made all these ourselves so just thought it was kind of humorous and, you know, went ahead and put him in there as well.”

Dockens said erecting the decorations with his family brings them cheer.

But, Phillips said she is worried about the message the tombstone sends to children.

    I can’t get bent out of shape about what I assume to be the harmless poke at birther conspiracies which claim it isn’t known what year Obama was born.

    That’s what the question mark signifies on the tombstone– the birth date.

    That said, in related news, I expect we’re going to see a lot less beheading tableaux at neighborhood haunted houses this year.

    Living across the street from a racist has to be unnerving for her and her kids.

    So many hateful comments on the video, one even accused the person complaining of being a Muslim.

    I’d say that other families can just put up Dockens tombstones – I mean it doesn’t mean anything – and it’s not really offensive – right?
