Don’t GETOSAMA In NY!

GETOSAMA license plateAccording to the Post Chronicle the New York Department of Motor Vehicles has banned the vanity license plate GETOSAMA because they deemed it offensive. DMV spokesman Nick Cantiello said the GETOSAMA plates violate a regulation banning any tag that is obscene, lewd, lascivious, derogatory to a particular ethnic or other group or patently offensive.

So let me get this straight, a vanity plate saying “GETOSAMA” – obviously referring to Osama Bin Laden, an individual who the US federal government has a $25 million bounty on for Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States – is either “lewd, lascivious, derogatory to a particular ethnic or other group or patently offensive?”

It seems that the NY DMV is either overwhelmingly caught up in extreme Political Correctness or they’re “paying the tax” to CAIR.
