Back about 2004-2005, there was a guy at Seattle's major music festival (Bumbershoot, held on Labor Day weekend) selling t-shirts depicting George Bush being shot in the head. Not only was this allowed, it did not even generate any controversy!

Two or three years later, a local parade featured a flatbed truck with effigies of Bush and Cheney, and behind the truck was a guy with a wheelbarrow of rotten fruit, which spectators were encouraged to throw at the effigies. Again, there was no controversy, no calls for civility.

I voted for George W. Bush twice, despite entreaties from my relatives (also Jewish) to support Lieb the Heeb from the 1st election with Al Gore.
