WTJM-TV: People in West Allis were shouting and laughing as a bar tender torched the statue for the crowd. Flames tore through the statue with what looks like duct tape wrapped around it's neck.

his freedom to do so.
Tough, I'd love to hear what this guy had to say about the antiwar protesters during the W years, the dixie chicks, etc...

and how stupid do you have to be to set anything fire indoors, let alone on a WOOD bar?

Exactly!

How many pictures have been posted of President Bush on fire hanging with a rope around his neck.

What's the big deal?

The Left routinely did the same with Bush?

What selective memories the Left has. Bush was routinely burned in effigy by the insane Left, of course that was just fine and dandy...right?

Point to a few that happened in the United States itself. Links please.... I'm sure there are some out there...

And the answer was that the people doing it hated America. But when conservatives do we it you offer congratulations.

I think thats hypocrisy.

A couple of points...

First as a very conservative, America Loving U.S. Military Vet, I would have either walked out or told the guy he was an idiot for not respecting America and the office of the president. (walked out if I would otherwise take a beat down)

Second, if any liberal tries to act like this is some indication of the violent nature of conservatives or somehow proof that non-liberal white people are racists, I would like to tell you, you are a knuckleheaded methane leak.

The fact is, your buddies (and likely some from C-D) burned George Bush in effigy more than a dozen times. This isn’t different except it seems these people did their act in their own space, and didn’t destroy other people’s property like liberal idiots generally do when they are burning flags or the effigies of presidents.

People on the extreme ends of the political spectrum will put up with ANYTHING their party does and hate anything the other party does.

With that said, the irony of you crying hypocrisy is rich and tasty.

The fact that you missed the fact that your own post makes you no better than the right-wingnut hypocrits is even more hillarious but thats how awesome being a blind party follower is, you can't see your own actions that way but when the other wingnuts do it you spot it immediately.
