Obama Effigy Violently Abused at Arkansas Rodeo

Apparently, many Greenwood, Arkansas rodeo fans' idea of family entertainment includes violent displays of hate toward President Obama. A crude effigy was produced during the rodeo on Saturday night, and then violently beaten and destroyed in response to an announcer's call to the audience: "Who wants to rip Obama's head off?"

Guess you can take Arkansas out of Obama's electoral college count.

"Violence" against a paper mache scarecrow doll offends Calamari and it's ilk so much that it needs to post about it.

Yet posts about actual real violence by jihadi Muslims against women and innocents is just shameless pandering by the fear mongering Islamaphobes.

Gotcha.

I remember instances of Bush being hung in effigy. It was just as disgusting then as it is now.

I did not know until today that pieces of paper could be "violently abused." Go figure. I'll remember that as I shred documents. I wonder if anyone will dial 911 to report me and ask for emergency assistance?

Yet the OP, who posts every day about some real or imagined "threat" by some wacked out rightwing org, causes you no grief.



Hypocrisy 101, you could be the instructor.

You must really need a reading comprehension class.

I will happily comment and denounce any and all religious motivated violence.

Gladly. No issues whatsoever. ALL religions. Are you keeping up? Read it slowly so it sinks in this time.

Not sure why this is not getting through to you, you continue to accuse my of "avoiding" something - what am I avoiding? Post a story about some rightwing religious nutjob in the USA who is preaching the killing of someone who doesn't believe what they believe, and i will gladly and heartily concur and agree with all condemnations of the religion or the group.

Got it?

You simply keep trying to change any discussion of jihadi Muslim violence to some red herring, without fail.

No you won't. When discussing Uganda, all you could say was that they weren't as bad as Muslims. There was no condemnation of this leader from you.

I tell you what if I had a choice between the kind of "violence" inflicted by the people of Ark. ,in this case destroying an effigy or the Muslim alternative of be heading which would you chose. Religious violence here LOL. OHHH cross burning and effigies scary stuff. NOTE. I do not condone the destruction of an effigy of any Pres. ,just the ridiculous exploitation of it here.

Libs whining about this type of stuff after eight years of vitriolic Bush hate is the height of hypocrisy. Please let us know when an Obama assassination motion picture is made. Sheesh......

Who is whining? This is news, so people are discussing it. If the topic bothers you, don't discuss it. I'm quite sure things like this happens for both sides of the aisle.

[Calamari]

So let me get this straight, it was bad when Bush effigies were supposedly made and destroyed, but actual Obama effigies are A-Ok. Ah the hypocrisy of the right.

No "supposedly" about it. It happened. Both are wrong and stupid.

What does that say about the left -- that some of its members hanged and burned then President Bush in effigy?

The degree to which this type stuff happens regarding Obama is a drop in the ocean compared to Bush. I never saw the squid commenting on it while Bush was in office.
