At least two recent incidents in which empty chairs were hung from trees by rope have critics decrying what they say are racially offensive displays meant to symbolize the “lynching” of President Barack Obama.
In Austin, Texas, a homeowner hung an empty folding chair from a tree branch in front of his house and later attached an American flag to it. He reportedly told a Democratic political blogger who inquired about it: “You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you.”
In Centreville, Va., an empty chair with a sign reading “Nobama” was strung from a tree in or near a park. “In short, this appears to be a crude metaphor for the lynching of President Obama,” wrote the blogger who posted the photo.

People, people get a grip empty chairs hung from trees by rope are called swings!
Oh come on.
Obama should be impeached for attacking Libya illegally.
Obama should be impeached for ignoring a court order ordering oil production in the Gulf of Mexico to resume.
Obama should be impeached for FAST AND FURIOUS. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature realizes this was Obama's plan.
No, the REPUBS have decided that attacks against our first Muslim Racist Black President would be interpreted as racist attacks and he could run against the attacks, not on his record.
So they are going to let the racist Muslim traitor skate. Obama is a floundering fool without being able to pull the race card out.
Only one chair? I suppose it is difficult to find a tree that can hold that, plus 535 more for every CongressWeasel.
Emperor 0 probably spotted the chairs and called it in himself as he was flying by in Chair Force 1.
The old guy in Austin cracks me up. I have a couple neighbors just like him.
I just think ol’ Bud is letting his Johnson hang out for everyone to see.
This is beyond silly. He was not lynching the President, just had an empty chair hanging from a tree. No noose. Silly. Reporette lacking brains, made ass of herself, too.
What if I just go out and kick and empty chair around the yard for a while?
