Opponents of Barack Obama have started stringing furniture up trees — in a sickening reference to the lynching of African Americans and Clint Eastwood’s notorious “empty chair” speech at the Republican National Convention.
A mock “lynching” took place in Centreville, Virginia last weekend (pictured above right). This was followed by another hanging of a presidential effigy in Austin, Texas (above left). When US bloggers rang the homeowner, a Republican, he 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.”
At least 3,446 black people were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968 — mostly in southern states like Virginia and Texas.

There’s somebody who will get a visit from the Secret Service.
Disgusting.
Shows how backward some people are.
They,re probably angry because Clint Eastwood lost when he was debating with the chair…
Right On Mr. Homeowner!!!
You even more stupid than he is
@Anna… you say me dumb more? LOL you can’t even type a coherent sentence! so.. do tell Anna, self-proclaimed fount of wisdom, what exactly is stupid about a homeowner (mark you not a homeless bum, nor an illegal alien, but a property owning American) exercising his God, and Constitution, – given rights to express his point of view? And to tell people he finds objectionable to get off his property?
Ok, just to clarify for all of you crying “racist”, myself, this homeowner, and conservative republicans in general, really don’t give a crap that Obama is black (which is highly questionable anyway – heck Bill Clinton is more black than Obama is), we object to his imbecility, regardless of his ‘race’. It is those who immediately try to push the “african-american” angle that are the racists. I don’t care about your race, personally I don’t even acknowledge ‘race’ as valid defining characteristic of human beings. No more than height, weight, or shoe size. I DO expect people in positions of responsibility to live up to those responsibilities… I DON’T CARE WHAT HIS SKIN COLOR IS! YOU do!
