| Apparently this homeowner in Texas decided it would be a great idea to illustrate his anti-Obama stance by "lynching" a chair (which as you know is a reference to Clint Eastwood's so-called "conversation with Obama" during the Republican National Convention).
SOURCE When asked about the chair, the man who answered the door answered, "I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street." |

| I might be mistaken on this, but isn't this kind of thing (death threats against a president) illegal?
That aside... way to go, racist guy... make your party look even more crazy. (Last edited by Elara on 09-20-12 11:49 PM) |

| Anti-Obama people go on about how they hate when people associate their animosity toward our president as racism in order to not take their talking points seriously, but hey.. you know, when you're "lynching" a chair to make your point, you're not helping your cause. | |||

| I had a really long rant going here, but I decided against it. I'll just say this, it's a shame. It's things like this that ruins it for so many people. This doesn't help the idea that the South is run by nothing but backward truck lost in their high grass lawns racist Bible Thumpers. That's just not true, but negative press gets the most attention, and things like this do not help. So, I feel sorry for the people who are NOT like this guy, but will somehow get bunched together as being like the guy in the article. It's kind of a moot point here, being as I'm proud to say that we're pretty intelligent posters/people, but you know this isn't the case elsewhere.
It's fucked up, the actual topic of the article. One thing about the legality I could think of is, I would tread softly in this one. It COULD be a lose/lose. For instance, should something like this get to court...the guy who did this, he didn't slap President Obama's name on the chair, nor did he say it WAS for President Obama. No matter HOW obvious it may seem, the first amendment would be a tricky thing here. It could be a lose/lose because A) the obvious point of contention is the case is lost on grounds of first amendment protection, or B) the case is won and now headlines are taking up space in the papers saying things like "Big Brother Shoots First Amendment Dead with Your Stolen Guns" (This is why we have our journalists like Rogue, coming up with better titles is the least they do for society. Haha) but I hope you guys get the point. So, for people like the President, I could understand why they would tread softly in handling something like this. |
