Texas Man Lynches Empty Chair, Says Obama Can “Go To Hell”
“If you don’t like it, don’t come down my street,” the anti-Obama homeowner told Burnt Orange Report.
Texas political blog Burnt Orange Report reports that Bud Johnson, the Austin man who hung this chair from his tree on Wednesday, is a 73-year-old Republican and past “Yard of the Month” honoree from his homeowner’s association.
The chair is believed to be a reference to Clint Eastwood’s RNC speech, in which the iconic actor cast an empty chair as Barack Obama.
Johnson lashed out at blogger Katherine Haenschen when she called him to voice her concerns about the “racist presidential effigy.”
On Thursday, he added an American flag to the display. Neighbors also told the blog that Johnson had a guard out front protecting the chair.

benjaminc5 8 months agoAs a work of art, the piece succeeds. Some artists spend their whole careers trying to create this type of reaction. It’s even more outrageous then Serrano’s “Piss Christ.”

Mozart The Cat 8 months agoDear Texas, We have decided to relieve you of your Constitutional obligations and allegiances and either hand you back to Mexico or allow you to give ‘independent republic’ another go… although, we all know how that went the last time, so maybe the Mexico thing is a better idea. All the Best, ‘murica oh, ps, we will just bump Puerto Rico up into your spot so we don’t have to change our flag.
