Empty chair 'lynchings': Anti-Obama protests gone too far? - U.S. News
This is immature, counter-productive, and yes it is too far. While I don't think it should be illegal because of the First Amendment that certainly doesn't make it morally correct behavior. Emulating violence against someone is never a good idea. While I don't think much of race hustlers and race baiters on the left who view race as the most important thing in the world people who pretend to lynch a black President on the right are even bigger idiots and are more responsible for keeping racial flames alive.

Don't be so sensitive.

Look at the way lefties treat black conservatives and women.

Besides....Obama hasn't earned respect.

This just shifts me further to the left. I will not be associated with a party that supports this sort of thing. You're cowards.

A grand total of 2, count 'em 2, chair lynchings, and they're more responsible for racial flames than the left's everything, every day, year -round is race ? Don't think so.

From the article --- “There are other neighbors up there who are Republicans who find this as offensive as anybody else does,” Haenschen told NBC News.

As long as the GOP allows these factions to stand as their representatives, the Republican party will continue to lose ground no matter how many Condoleezas and Rubios they trot out at their conventions.
Honest and well thought out.

If you were the author of this article, would you write it like that?

How do you know Repubs are doing it? It may be disenchanted Dems. You know how people behave when they break up with someone. Just saying.
