Texan Lynches Invisible Obama

[Generic Other]

Burnt Orange Report published a picture of a chair hanging from a tree in front of a house in Austin, Texas. In a dark twist on Clint Eastwood’s empty chair meme, it appears the resident, Bud Johnson, lynched the chair as an effigy of President Obama. When asked about the unnerving racist display, the homeowner, a Republican, responded, “I don’t really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don’t give a shit. If you don’t like it, don’t come down my street.” Another chair was lynched last week in Virginia.

1. What does he sit on inside?

Stools? Because otherwise, he's letting Obama eat out his asshole. Wonder if that unnerves him.

2. In Austin, no less.

I thought that was sposed to be the liberal part of Texas.

These people terrify me. They live to hate and they love to hurt.

4. Maybe they are from somewhere else

and went to Austin to do it out of spite for Austine itself, too.

14. Well, it's not like Austin is 100% Liberal.

All of the major cities in my state (Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio) are either blue or purple. I don't know why Austin always gets the label of being the only "blue" part of the state...

16. Yep! Very true.

[Bucky]

18. Every single person in Austin is a liberal. Every other single Texan is neocon.

Every DUer thinks through his posts carefully before hitting the "Post" button.

3. He chose a yellow chair

to match his belly.

6. It's too bad we're not allowed to lynch bigots... n/t

[MadHound]

7. Sorry, but why would you want to lynch anyone?

Nobody deserves that, absolutely nobody. Your comment is beyond the pale.

[backscatter712]

13. You're right. We shouldn't kill him.

But can we maim him? Just a little?

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. NOT the Onion??????

Apparently there is a need for an organization to protect chairs.
wonder what we would call it.

[sarcasmo]

9. IMHO this should be taken as a threat an the asshole should be investigated by the FBI.

17. He did it wrong. Should have tied the rope around his own neck and stepped off the chair.

19. GOP base.....nt

20. Stupid old fool

[cr8tvlde]

21. Has there been any MSM outrage?

Say, similar to what Hilary Rosen got for her little Ann Romney jab?

[reformist2]

22. Yet another way Obama is good for America - He makes people show their true colors.

And sometimes, those colors are really hideous.

23. Fucker.
