Racist? Nah.

The display in the front yard of Terry Jones’s Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC) in Gainesville features a dummy wearing an Obama mask hanging from a yellow noose. Along with an American flag and a rainbow-striped gay pride flag, the scene includes an Uncle Sam dummy and a child’s doll hanging from the right hand of the Obama figure.

Nearby, the words “Obama is Killing America” are printed on a trailer. So, it appears, the creepy Jones is returning the favor.

It used to be hanging the president in effigy was not only okay, but patriotic. From 2001 through 2009 dissent was patriotic, now it's racism.

Personally I'm against this no matter who is the preezy, but the DUmmies applauded this crap when their side did it, only when their own tactics are turned on them do they complain.

isn't it. It's another confirmation of how racist and bigoted many are in the US.

Yeah it can't possibly be that he opposes 0bama's policies it has to be his skin color.  :whatever:

2. You can feel the frustration coming from that display.

It just kills this guy that he can't get away with hanging real black people anymore.

Yeah and it kills you that you can't string up Bush, Cheney, and KKKarl Rove.

People have disagreed with the policies of the president as long as there have been presidents.  I cannot fathom why the DUmmies do not understand that disagreement does not equal racism.

Because they are intellectually lazy. Rather than trying to defend him, they change to the subject to racism.

(a) Because they are idiots.
(b) Because they are racist so they expect everyone else to be racist.
(c) Because it's the only defense they have since 0's record is pretty much such a failure that it's indefensible.
(d) All of the above.

You know, antics like this used to bother me, no matter who the president was (even the worthless Jimmy Carter; and of course there was the hapless Lyndon Johnson, but I was a little young yet).

But after having been coarsened and hardened by the primitives the past eleven years, the antics don't bother me any more.  It's more of a "ho-hum" attitude about them.

Even George Washington (during the "Whiskey Rebellion") and Abraham Lincoln were hung in effigy by screaming mobs; surely the primitives don't think the Magic One is so much better than them, that he should be immune from such political statements.

I wouldn't do it myself--I think it's bad taste--but rather than being upset about such things any more, I just don't care.  Ho-hum.

Do the DUmmies ever complain when it is the Muslims in other countries burning or hanging Obama?

Who's Terry Jones? I googled him, but how come he wasn't listed in my VRWC handbook? I thought all conservatives knew each other? why don't I know him?

Jones is the attention whoring loon that has burned Q'urans and done other things to piss off liberals.

If someone would acknowledge her VRWC messages, . . . maybe they'd know about the Handbook changes. :tongue:

They'd also know about the Kindle version. :tongue:

After reading their comments I bet they were OUTRAGED when the effigy of Sarah Palin was displayed.  I mean that is so horrible!  :o
