My post seemed clear enough. I never saw a thread by you condeming the many many times Bush was hung in effigy.
Your outrage is clearly partisan inspired.

Might have something to do with the fact that you weren't a member until Bush was out of office for 2 years.

President Obama hung in effigy, by a preacher nobody knows, and President Bush's head on a pike on HBO, which is, you know, on television. One is disgraceful and the other is hilarious. It's called liberal hypocrisy. Some preacher, who nobody knows, burns an effigy of President Obama and Joy Behar, who is, you know, on television, thinks it would be amusing for Gov. Romney's house to burn down. The outrage is called liberal hypocrisy.

Thinks: "You also have never seen me take a shower. Does that mean I do not shower?" Wasn't that posted on YouTube?

I am very aware of who Terry Jones is, and have been for at least the last year.

He is a master of redneck publicity stunts, and his bigoted nonsense about other religions has made the news several times.

Now if you are not aware of who he is, then perhaps the error is on your part, and not that of others.

Pastor extraordinaire, Terry Jones, has managed to once again worm his way into the news with his latest stunt, hanging a dummy of the president.

Moron inc? You bet. But that has never stopped this pastor before. You see, this is symbolic of the Obama presidency, and not the president,. which is why he put a suit and an Obama mask on his dummy.

But does he stop there? Heck no! He says he is going to run for president. Now it would appear he doe shave the intellectual prowess and the mustache for the job, and I have been looking for a third party candidate to throw my vote away on, so he just might be it.

I am simply once again amazed at what folks who call themselves Christian will do that demonstrates how little they follow their own religion.

In Gainesville, Florida, Pastor Terry Jones hung a dummy of President Obama in effegy as way to show how the President is supposedly "killing the country" (video below).

Jones last made headlines by threatening to burn a copy of the Koran, the holy book of the Islamic faith.

Jones claims to have received death threats and has been contacted twice by the Secret Service because of the hanging display at his church, the Dove World Outreach Center.

In an interview with the The Pulp, Jones said the hanging display was not racist, but rather "a symbolic action saying we do not, of course, want him reelected. It is death, of course, not to him. To his political career."

"We are not looking at him as a black man. He is not black; he is not white; he is the president of the United States. And the noose, of course, was to represent the death of his presidency and political career. Not at all to represent his race... His race has absolutely nothing to do with it."

Jones also told The Pulp that it was "definitely very possible" that he would be running for president himself: "We definitely do have a lot of support, but... people think these type of methods are going a little bit too far, a little bit too intense. We chose those methods because they are the methods that we thought about, and we really felt a couple of these issues are so intense and so important that sometimes we do need a little bit of a shaking."

oh boy. You couldn't cut the hypocrisy with a knife. What say you about the latest HBO GWB head on a spike in game of thrones. Got anything there sport?

Really? Show me all the people saying this guy is a hero.

Tick tock tick tock...

Yhis guy is a loser, just like the Islamo's. Doing stupid un-just things in the name of religion. I bet he is a closet O'Bama voter.

by the way...just so you know. The president and his entourage chowed down on barbecue the other day and then stiffed the restaurant. A man of the little people. got it.

president travelled up to NY for
'the parker' event and because he stopped by the WTC memorial, he charged his fundraiser to the American taxpayer.

Since you're referencing to the morons that hanged/burned Bush effigies, yep, they should've been arrested as well...

I disagree with you on this one. While I find it distateful and personally condemn it. I don't like the government coming in and telling people what they can and can't do. This is not a threat against the President. Just a public proclamation of anger at the President, and free speech should be allowed when no actual threat is involved.

I see where you're going with this, and, you make a lot of sense...

However, my angle is that I don't think that people should be allowed to protest an elected official in this manner...

Maybe that's a little, uh, fascist of me, but, that's just how I feel...
