[Paradox]

Its just plain stupid. There are PLENTY of ways of poking fun of this asshat. No need to take it to this point. Threatening an effigy of the sitting President, and at a RODEO no less. Maybe you live in am echo chamber, but this is all they need to point and say "See? Evihl dipshit redneck!"...

I'm tired of having to defend idiocy like this. This was in poor taste, and I cannot think of a SINGLE person who is more likely to dislike Obama because of it, but on the other hand, I CAN think of THOUSANDS who might now vote against us, because of this.

Why does our side have to be so dumb.

Those “THOUSANDS” would not likely vote for “us” in the first place. Gee, I wonder if hanging Sarah Palin in effigy and making the “snipers wanted” poster of W caused “THOUSANDS” to vote against the democrats.

Do you want to know what’s really stupid? Engaging an armed street brawler while “playing” by Marquis de Queensbury rules! The other side doesn’t give a rip about fair play or decorum! Bending over and spreading your cheeks won’t garner their affection or respect; it just gets us screwed!
