Empty Chair 'Lynched' By Anti-Obama Texas Republican Bud Johnson


Republican Texas homeowner Bud Johnson has a "lynched" empty chair on display in his front yard in what is likely a display of opposition to President Barack Obama.

A photo of the display at Johnson's Northwest Austin home was posted by Burnt Orange Report on Thursday.

When asked about the display, Johnson said he didn't "give a shit" if it was offensive and went on to criticize the president.

"I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not," Johnson told Burnt Orange Report. "You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street."

The image of an empty chair became synonymous with Obama after actor Clint Eastwood talked to an empty chair representing the president while speaking at the 2012 Republican National Convention.

This isn't the first time a racist public display has been made against Obama. A photograph of a bumper sticker featuring racist anti-Obama language went viral on Facebook in March, and a Georgia bar is facing backlash after posting a sign that read, "I heard the White House smelled like collard greens and fried chicken."

Show me a picture of a Democractic representative doing this to an image of Bush and you hen will be comparing apples to apples! For every picture you show me of disrespect to Bush by ignorant people, I can show you an ignorant person disrespecting Obama. What makes this particular example is that this is a Republican representative of his constituents. He should be booed out of office for his racism.

Where does it say anything about this man being in office?

Obviously, that is pretty distasteful. Few would disagree. But that sort of shit comes from both sides of the aisle.

Really? Show me where someone from the other side of the aisle has made such a racially charged display advocating violence? I have a sneaky hunch you'll have to go back to before 1964.

Do you mean how certain posters have family members who express racism against Asians?

Well maybe you could speak with the more racist members of your family and show them all the wonderful contributions made to the world around us by Asians.

But admitting you've got family members who are racists explains some of your more hateful viewpoints.

I am laughing at myself, I didn't check my source like I usually do, and I remembered a conversation we had about sources! Foisted!

Anyway, suffering from a very bad sinus infection and I ask or your pity ;)
