I'm outraged that people disrespect my family and friends by showing what they look like now!

Some of them may even be ghosts!!!!!!!!!
I do believe you are getting lost in translation!!

Nero enjoyed decapitated heads......the guy could have stuck the Ten Commandments, US Constitution and a full size cut out of President Obama out in the yard with his display and really made a statement.

Some people are hypersensitive to anything negative regarding Obama.... hypersensitive beyond reason.
These are expected......but don't dress as a "hobo" that is offensive!

Freedom to speak as this guy wants is what is truly amazing about America, it's just "having some class" goes a long way in life.
I would never display anyone disheaded like that but that doesnt mean others shouldnt have the right to do so. Judging from the way my kids friends talk about Obama, I'd probably have record turnouts this year just to see the action..

I am certainly not saying the guy doesn't have his human right to be an ass......

What does this say if people were given the choice they would behead President Obama? Seriously, I am no Obama fan, so even this leaves me

Not classy, I shun this speech, but it is protected free speech - just like liberals doing the same to Bush.

How is this national news?

The great thing about places like Idaho, is the freedom to keep a Romney one right across the street from it.

The thing is..

How much lower are we gonna go with this stuff. I mean, it's Obama today; it'll be the next president in a few years from now. I get the free speech angle, but even with our deep political divisions, can't we at least draw a line on what's decent in our political discourse?

Ok..our trick or treaters say that "we don't agree with his policies."

I just wanna know...when did that become the WORST THING in world?

But hey...whatever
