Phil Spector Wears Obama Button To Murder Trial

President-elect Barack Obama got some unusual support on Tuesday from music producer and alleged murderer Phil Spector. Spector, on trial for second degree murder, wore a button touting Obama's victory to court on Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. Spector is charged with killing actress Lana Clarkson in his Alhambra, California mansion on February 3, 2003.

This isn't the first time that Spector has shown his support for Obama in court. Back in July he was spotted wearing a "Barack Obama Rocks" button.

Well, Obama did say he will be a President to all people.

Oh Lord! It seems any nutcase can wear a button, and any fool, and liar, can try to call himself a "close family friend (ie: Ayers) -- It's all the same bunch of bullshi*, just another person trying to use Obama's name.

spector is a freak.

After I put my Obama bumper sticker on my car last winter, I tried to be extra conscientious about my driving. It was sort of like I was "representing" Obama supporters, and I wanted to be a good envoy. I probably was overanalyzing (typical), but it irks me to see someone with such a public face stand trial for a heinous crime with an Obama button. I know he has a right to wear the button, and that he's innocent until proven guilty, but I still find it irritating.

Phil toned down his "hair". This looks much better on a bald man.

"Go away, little man..."

I'm sure the crazies at fox will somehow blame President elect Obama for the murder.

[bmwracer]

That won't get you a pardon, Phil.

[Banji81]

Uh, Mr. Spector, I don't think Obama's coat tails are THAT long...

[whiteboyblues]

Who cares?

[robXdion]

I'm sorry, but if OJ bothers you, you should be PO'd about this guy. Now he's wearing an Obama pendant like a crucifix to show his piety?

The irony between the two cases (and his pendant) is astounding.

[ron ray]

why? OJ got away with murder. this guy at least is being retried.

[robXdion]

Say what you wanna, but objectively speaking his case was more airtight than OJ's. There shouldn't even have to be a retrial.

You have to remember this man is pyschotic. Nothing to do with P.E. Obama.

It seems that whenever a caucasian person does something, most of the time they claim the have mental problems, however, when its another race, they are just animals and that's how they all are. HMMMPH interesting....

[Wolfgang]

No, when it's a member of another race they play the race card and claim that they are victims of racism.

[Brillig]

Are we all SURE ( because we were there when it happened) that he killed this girl?

[Indieguy]

Yeah, the gun just happened to go off when a woman was standing in front of it. And this isn't the first time that Specter has used a gun to intimidate a woman. And it happened in his home. And he's mentally deranged. Sure, he's innocent until proven guilty but he's got a mountain of evidence to overcome.

[Opt1musPr1me]

Alleged killers for Obama!! Oh yeah!

[Grunty1]

Spector is trying to ride Obama's coattails.
