Politics / Nazism Obama Haters Carve Swastika on 18th Hole Link to President Obama on country club green stumps police By Jason Farago, Newser Staff Posted Oct 14, 2009 5:52 AM CDT Copied Lakeville Country Club owner Gary Mosca looks down at a message carved into the 18th green, Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2009, in Lakeville, Mass. (AP Photo/Boston Herald, Boston Herald, Matt Stone) The Obama-equals-Hitler folks have left us a puzzle. Vandals carved "I swastika Obama"—with the swastika facing the wrong way—on, of all places, the 18th hole of a country club golf course 40 miles north of Boston. It's unclear who did it or even when, but a club manager speculates that it might have been carved with a golf cleat. The Secret Service and Massachusetts police are investigating. The daughter of the club's owner yesterday covered the desecration with a large cardboard heart. President Obama is due to appear in Boston at a fundraiser for Gov. Deval Patrick next week.
