Democratic lawmakers plan to rehang a controversial painting on Capitol Hill that angered law enforcement groups with its depiction of police officers as pigs, after Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter personally took down the picture last week.

...... Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo ... CBC member

... [the CBC said]: “The rehanging of this painting ... yadayada ... protecting the rights of a student artist ... blahblah ... a proud statement in defense of the 1st Amendment"

Hi Freeper Fotoshoppers! Let's send Duncan Hunter an image that he can proudly hang up in the hallways of Congress, in a glorious celebration of "the 1st Amendment Rights of Artists"!!

How about an image of The Honorable Lacy Clay D-Mo, shooting - execution-style - a policeman on his knees with hands bound behind him?

[amnestynone]

It is good to keep it hanging it reminds the police and the country where the Dems are coming from.

[Huskrrrr]

Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo

Great election year message for 2018.

Ummm, all the people in the painting are different animals. One of the cops is a rhinocerous.

But it was OK for a black employee of Yale, who was disturbed by old stained glass images of black slaves picking cotton, to destroy those glass windows with those images of slavery.

In that case it was considered OK by the liberals to take matters in your own hands and remove an offensive image.

But in this case in Congress, the offending image doesn’t matter. In this case, the liberal criteria are said to be freedom of speech freedom of artistic expression, etc. Overriding the gross offensive nature of the images in question.

It amazes me sometimes how liberals judge people and situations based on an ever shifting set of criteria,, and that the criteria are not consistently applied.

Removing a painting from a public wall does not prevent the artist from painting whatever he wants to paint.

Take it down again, Duncan! And this time, “improve” i before the Dems ger hold of it.

The black klan even has representation in congress—Africans for hate and change. African lawlessness is only exceeded by their race pimping stupidity.

Lacy, when some gang banger is raping your daughter, who you gonna call?? A 1st Amendment artist?????

[Steve_Seattle]

How about a painting of Obama as a chimp or monkey? After all, Bush was fair game for that sort of thing. Free speech!

[Royal Wulff]

Let them rehang it! Make a big news event of it. Show the American people how the Democrats despise police.

Ummm, is that supposed to justify it?

BTW, I very rarely, if ever use "Ummm" in my my posts. It's usually only used to point out ass-holes who use "Ummm" to imply that they are smarter than others.

HOPE SOMEONE GETS A VIDEO CLIP.
That should be handy campaign material.

It's only art

[Anti-Bubba182]

Clay is safe in St. Louis.

[Clintonfatigued]

Another truth kept hidden by the mainstream media.

[GraceG]
