I've never really understood the whole "burning in effigy thing". I mean, is it really all that much worse than saying bad things about somebody? I dunno, perhaps I am wrong, I've just never been drawn to any sort of emotion other than a shrug (compared to bad mouthing) when someone is burned in effigy.

You could think of a burning in effigy as a mock lynching. It displays a lynch mob mentality.

It's considered a Public Pronouncement of your lack of respect for whatever it is you are destroying...

Funny how the media coverage of the Moonbat Marches doesn't include this, eh??

Why, something like this could change public opinion, and the Mainstream media CANNOT allow that!!

I'll show you what I think when I see it (and this is mind compared with the rest):

You'd better wake up... and fast.
