My suggestion is for every person who has a Romney sign in their yard to place an empty chair next to it, with a sign sayong “His opponent”.

Sure be a shame if this trend caught on, and you started seeing hundreds or even thousands of empty chairs hanging from trees. Yesiree, that sure would be a durn shame.

Maybe that's another example of free speech the Left can crush. After all, the First Amendment is not an ABSOLUTE right, ya know ...

[ Obama is only 7% black. He’s 43% Arab and 50% white. So it is only 7% racist, at most. ]

That right there is funny, true, but funny... LoL...

This is racial hyper sensitiviy on steroids.

If someone wanted to conotate a lynching they would have hung the chair with a “hangmans knot”. In reality they are hanging the chair from a tree strictly for visibility JEEEEZ.

I could see tarring and feathering a chair.
I have some roof patch somewhere, now just
need a feather pillow.

Weren’t snake oil salesmen tarred and feathered?
I’d say it’s in good company.

I just threw an old broken chair into a dumpster. Is that a threat to “0”?

Oct 27, 2008: "An effigy of U.S. Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin hanging by a noose as part of a Halloween display drew complaints on Monday, but local officials said the homeowner was covered by free speech rights," said the MSM.

This was in Sacramento and the lynchers were a couple of left wingers from Berkeley who owned the house in Sac.

Reminds me of an old joke in Communist China.

Why did the Communists kill all the cats in China?

Because they said “meow, meow” instead of “Mao, Mao.”

Sometimes an empty chair is just an empty chair.

“In short, this appears to be a crude metaphor for the lynching of President Obama,” wrote the blogger who posted the photo.


What did this bastard have to say about the very real torching of Palin’s church. Screw em!
