S.C. Republican Posts Picture Calling Difference Between Obama and Bin Laden ‘Just a Little B.S.’

South Carolina Republican state Senator Kevin Bryant has posted a picture of a t-shirt on his blog that reads “the difference between Obama and Osama is just a little b.s.”

No text accompanies the picture, which was posted July 18, but the post is by far the most commented on entry on the lawmaker’s blog.

Bryant attacks Obama in several other posts and also links to story claiming that the Illinois senator raises funds for Islamic causes.

UPDATE: Bryant tells The Huffington Post’s Nico Pitney that the picture was “meant tongue in cheek.”

“I’ve got some questions about Senator Obama’s ties to — such as his comment that we should negotiate with Iran. Iran’s a country that would like to destroy Israel, that bothers me. But is this picture appropriate? I don’t know,” Bryant said.

“You know, blogs are for satire and whatnot and, um, that’s why it’s up. It’s similar to the New Yorker picture. Maybe that’s why this has gotten so much attention, because of that thing that came out a couple days ago.”

Asked what religion Obama practices, Bryant said, “That’s a good question. I don’t know.”
