It seems that this campaign season, there have been many strange things. Clint Eastwood yelling at an empty chair that represented Obama was one of the stranger, and now, it's gotten even weirder........................they're lynching empty chairs...........
Empty chair 'lynchings': Anti-Obama protests gone too far? - U.S. News
Has the GOP gone so far batshit crazy that they consider these forms of protest a good way to go?
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.
The image of an empty chair has been associated with Obama ever since Clint Eastwoods headline-grabbing, non-conformist speech at the Republican National Convention three weeks ago in Tampa, Fla. The 82-year-old actor-director talked to an empty chair as if the Democratic president were sitting in it, criticizing and mocking the invisible Obama for 12 minutes.
When somebody doesn't do the job, you've got to let them go," Eastwood said before making a throat-slashing gesture.
