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." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1899991.html Title: Re: A wonderful Human Being Post by: Howey on September 21, 2012, 12:51:26 am Another crazy Texan teabagger. I don't remember the second incident but if someone were to walk by our house any given Sunday, they'd make the wrong assumption cuz I make some killa greens homey!

OH. MY. GOD.

OH. MY. GOD. Wait. Isn't this the same guy who said: Quote When asked about the display, Johnson said he didn't "give a shit" if it was offensive and went on to criticize the president.

(http://www.theblaze.com/stories/its-not-a-lynch-fiery-tx-man-takes-down-hanging-empty-chair-representing-obama-in-front-of-news-crew/) Quote Asked by KEYE why the chair was hanging from a tree, Johnson responded, “because it’s the only place I had to put the damn thing” and said he couldn’t put it on the ground because he likes to keep his grass cut. “It has nothing to do with race,” he repeated. Austin, Texas Homeowner Bud Johnson Takes Down Hanging Empty Chair Representing Obama Later in the day, Johnson told a columnist from the Austin American-Statesmanwhy he chose to take the chair down: “I decided to make the change because some people are stupid.” Asked whether he planned to put the chair up again, Johnson replied, “Not unless I want to.” Johnson previously told TheBlaze that he is a Republican and put the chair up to express his feelings about the president. “I don’t support Obama and the empty chair and that’s why,” he said. Stupid fuckin senile old coot. We should take away his medicare! Title: Re: A wonderful Human Being Post by: Howey on September 22, 2012, 11:41:14 am hah! (http://wonkette.com/484747/texas-patriot-lynches-obama-chair) Quote Ironically, the homeowner in question, Bud Johnson, won “Yard of the Month” in August 2010 from his Homeowners Association. I guess his display was a little different that month? Correct, lady. It was August 2010, at the head of Teatard Mania, so he hung a man made of teabags with a “watermelon flavor” sign around the neck and, in case you didn’t get it, a small sign underneath that said “The Slow Drip of Liberty” and then next to it, “For Whites.” SUBTLETY. Nah...not racist at all! |
