'Obama & other Muslims not welcome here': Convenience store's signs spark outrage

According to online reviews, the Mayhill Convenience Store in New Mexico has poorly cleaned bathrooms, a cockroach problem and signs that say things like “Obama The Anti-Christ.”

That last detail has ignited a firestorm of controversy online after an Albuquerque TV station reported on the store this past Friday. According to KOB, the store has been posting such signs for years. Mayhill is about a 4-hour drive southeast from Albuquerque.

Among the most contentious signs are ones that feature an “Obama swing set” with a picture of a noose, another that calls for the “half-breed” to be sent “to Kenya” and another that simply states “KILL OBAMA” with “care” written in much smaller letters on another line, according to reviews and social media posts.
