The OP apparently has some issues with the First Amendment, displayed when he stated "Joseph McCarthy was a patriotic great American that I respect very much to this day.

He earned it by wearing the uniform and taking a oath to defend his country and the Constitution.
"The way I look at it, it's freedom of speech," Hafley told LEX 18 in a recent interview, going on to state that he had included the watermelon not in attempt to play to any racist stereotypes, but because the statue "might get hungry standing out here."

Oh, I don't like either. I find both highly insulting and obnoxious. But they both fall under freedom of speech. Kind of sucks when I don't like the message but I passionately support that right.

This is a freedom of speech, just like it is my freedom of speech to voice my opinion against it. Also "never" is a bold word when you have nothing to back it up with.
