HAYDEN, Idaho — A white separatist drew complaints from neighbors and a visit from law enforcement officers after building a snowman shaped like a member of the Ku Klux Klan on his front lawn. Kootenai County sheriff's deputies told Mark Eliseuson Wednesday that he could be charged with a crime because the 10-foot-tall snowman was holding what appeared to be a noose. Deputies were called by neighbors who were appalled by the pointy-headed snowman with two dark eyes.


Eliseuson has angered neighbors in the past by flying Aryan Nations flags at his home. At Halloween he passed out bullet casings after he said he ran out of candy.

I don't see what the problem is, it's his right to do that. Apart from the noose that is.

Seriously, if we wanted to read the Huffington Post we would go over there, why do Liberals feel the overwhelming need to repost every left leaning blog here ever day multiple times?

We aren't even half as bad as janelle and roysoldboy with their spammy bot Glenn Beck posts.

Exactly. I don't see what the fuss is about. These are different articles posted from the same source, but hardly the bombardment of particular demagogues that the right peddle here daily. The complaint is BS anyway, the poster merely wants things he doesn't like taken down, and that's all.

Sorry, but I'm putting up articles to discuss that would be political in nature. Lets be honest too, it's not as if you're actually reading the articles anyway.

Please back on topic.

I read the same article 2 hours ago when it was first posted and turned into a multi-page thread here by another person who only posted it because they wanted to make it into a political argument even though it has nothing to do with politics at all.

"Politics and Controversies." This article would fall under that topic.

I'm sure you complain when we had 1000 threads about Health care being "Socialist" right? Your complaints are about as genuine as the right wing's cry for fiscal responsibility.

This is a typical tactic by the angry righties here. They'll bemoan anything they don't like until it goes away. PLEASE, back on topic or stay out of this thread. Quit trying to hijack as a means to take it down.

So is it political or not? Nobody is trying to stop you from posting anything, it's just a little sad when the same people repost articles from the same blog or website over and over and over again with no real personal opinion or even a comment about how you feel. This is a discussion forum, that means it's a place for people to discuss things and it's sad when people can't form an opinion on their own so they just post articles and blog posts here hoping to anger or irritate someone.

I'm so sorry you don't care for my posting style, I hope we can work together so you become more comfortable with it in the future. If you look in my history you can easily see that I have my own opinions that I share. If this is a difficult concept, let me explain it to you. First I post an article I find may create a lively discussion. Then later I will come back to said thread and add my colorful opinions to the topic.

Apparently you also missed that I highlighted "Controversial". This story would fall under that column. Sometimes people find KKK crap distasteful and even...controversial. For a moment I had considered the get up, complete with hood, and figured that maybe a fashion forum would be the appropriate venue. But then I changed my mind and posted it here instead. Perhaps my first thought was the right one? Next time I'll swing it by you and see what you think before posting.

Anything, as long as it makes you feel better about all of this.

Merry Christmas, and may the light of God shine down upon you.
