Indiana Billboard Depicting President Obama as Hitler Removed [Photo]

A controversial sign in Indiana depicting President Obama as Adolf Hitler and demanding his impreachment has been removed.

The video billboard was displayed at the Cornerstone Plaza located on U.S. 6 in Kendallville and included a message that read "Impeach Obama."

WANE-TV NewsChannel 15 reported on the disturbing billboard on Monday, and by Tuesday it was gone.

Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe said she was made aware of the sign through the town's newspaper. Afterward, she was inundated with endless phone calls and messages from residents who found it inappropriate. She told NewsChannel 15 that the message behind the sign does not represent her town and that she was glad it has been removed.

"All the hard work that we put forward as a community to change our image, to be a positive, growing community, and then a sign like this appears. It just undoes everything we've been doing," said Mayor Handshoe.

Charlotte Wright, a resident of Fort Wayne, said she shared the story on Facebook after she learned about it and said Facebook users were outraged by the electronic sign.

"It's too bad because it does mark the businesses and the town," she said.

The group behind the sign is the LaRouchePac, an extreme political activist committee created by Lyndon LaRouche. He has run for president multiple times but served jail time in 1988 for mail fraud.

Members of the organization who were in Kendallville over the weekend to spread their mission of impeaching the president defended the billboard, telling NewsChannel 15, "There to stir the pot and let people know that there's a political fight that's going on, that's going on in D.C. and extends out to the regions of the country," said Bill Roberts of the LaRouchePac.

Earlier this month, WBRZ-TV reported that LaRouchePac planted other signs of Obama with the infamous Hitler mustache to spread its campaign.

"He has earned his mustache," LaRouchePac member Ian Overton told the news outlet. "It's not a gas chamber but it's an economic policy. It's the same effect. If you're dead, you're dead."
