Well Clint talks to an empty chair and it looks dump, more people hang chair from tree...doubly dumb, tacky, and well rude. To the woman to complained to the Texas homeowner, I am really behind you this one sweetheart. If was driving down the road and my kids saw this, I would have to do some serious explaining that I would prefer not to. Freedom of speech is one thing but when it crosses the line and turns the person into a racist pig, who "obviously" doesn't give a shit about his community, how is neighbors feel, then I have no tolerance for this kind of behavior.
Two people may have single-handedly set back civil liberties by nearly 100 years by hanging Obama effigies in their yards. The chairs, on display at two Centreville, Va., and Austin, Texas, homes, are a reference to Clint Eastwood’s chair speech, and conjure memories of mob lynchings once common in the South. Technically, it’s a free country, and it’s their right, but the symbolism behind the actions of just a few is disturbing for the rest of America.
Burnt Orange reports that when one woman complained to the Texas homeowner, he said, “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. I don’t give a shit. If you don’t like it, don’t come down my street.” The man has since added an American flag to the chair.
