Lynch your empty chairs!!!!!!!

[PredFan]

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...........

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 Eastwood’s 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.

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?

Nice strawman you've got there. Since when did the GOP make chair lynchings part of their campaign strategy?

Fail thread.

Obama supporters could hang a bag of monopoly money and horse shit in their trees in answer, but the whole thing is just so infantile so I think I will just skip it.

If it's that infantile, I'm surprised you didn't invent it.

I just noticed the chair looks a lot like Obama:

The similarities are striking.

"white folks greed runs a world in need"

 

[Truthmatters]

you are the racist party.

All the proof needed is you can not attract even one percent of the black vote.

You might have a point, but only if the people doing it say that it's tying a chair to a tree, but they didn't......................they said themselves it was a lynching in effigy.

So what!!

So, it doesn't represent a hanging chair as you suggested, it represents an actual lynching in effigy, according to the people doing it. So what if there is no actual noose? The persons doing it already stated it as such.

So now you want to crimnalize thought??

Can empty chair abuse be far behind?

Nope... we are just sick and tired of being lied to and this man is just showing his frustrations.

If ya dont like it... too freekin bad.

Hey...go and lynch your chair. You have a perfect right to do so.

And we've got a perfect right to call you batshit crazy.

You guys are the ones who are "batshit crazy"... you want to crimnalize thought.

If you far-right folks don't like being lied to, then stop watching Fox News.

Simple as that.

oooo, it's not like we haven't heard that before...

He might have had a point, if I actually got my news from there... but oh well

“I don’t really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not,” Bud Johnson reportedly said. “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.”

 

[The Infidel]

you are the racist party.

That just proves how racist blacks in America can tend to be...

 

[Truthmatters]

blacks are racists?

But they join a party at the rate of about 99.90 percent that contains tons of white people.

how is it racist of blacks to join a party that is mostly white people?

Blacks are individuals... not a group. You are a racist.

The sad thing about the chair is that Eastwood really thought that Obama was sitting in it.
