WHEAT RIDGE, CO - NOVEMBER 21: Phil Wolf, owner of Wolf Automotive car dealership, takes a protest call on November 21, 2009 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Wolf paid $2,500 to have a billboard painted, questioning President Barack Obama's citizenship and lampooning him as an Islamic jidadist, and the sign has sparked controversy since it was put up the day before. Wolf, 57, said the dealership received more than a thousand calls from throughout the U.S. and Canada in a single day, both in support and against the sign.'We've had death threats. We had people call and say they were going to firebomb the place last night,' he said, adding that local police provided overnight security outside the dealership because of the threats. Wolf, a supporter of the 'birther' movement, questions President Obama's citizenship.'We've got to recall our country, the election,' he said. This guy (Obama), is illegal.' He also blamed the President for the massacre at Ft. Hood.'The cavalier attitude taken by Mr. Obama towards the enemy within us is absolutely horrible. If I had a snake in the house, I would kill it,' Wolf said. Several left-leaning advocacy groups have called on the public to boycott the auto dealership. Getty Images logo Getty Images 2 months ago
