In what is certainly a new low for the right wing, the 2014 Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference that is going on right now in D.C. allows male participants (and restroom users) to urinate on Pres. Obama’s face.
Here is a Tweet shared by Huff Po’s Igor Bobic:

From MSNBC:
Representatives from the Faith & Freedom Coalition told msnbc, ?We doubt this was done by any of our attendees, we strongly condemn these actions. No matter how anyone may feel about the president’s policies, the man and the office deserves to be treated with respect. We are outraged by this disgusting act.?
Pres. Obama hasn’t responded, but his staff is aware of the situation. From White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer:
@samsteinhp @igorbobic Totally uncalled for: Those ears are huge

It seems this pro-family, uber-conservative Christian group has forgotten an important Bible verse:
Hebrews 13:17 – Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.
Maybe they’re just taking a playcard from the “Liberal Playbook” and saying “f*** it!” But hey, tomorrow’s Sunday and they’ll all be in church, won’t they?
The figurines reportedly were removed from the latrines shortly after the Tweet hit Twitter.
