Texas man 'lynches' empty chair in statement against Obama

Austin, Texas, resident Bud Johnson is not a fan of President Obama, but his way of expressing his opinion has many in his neighborhood concerned about a racist message. Johnson hung an empty folding chair from a tree in his yard using several feet of rope, evoking the lynching of black people. Blog editor Katherine Haenschen, who was tipped off about the display, expressed concern to Johnson. He reportedly replied, "I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you." Johnson has since added an American flag to the hanging chair. [Source]
