"It’s not a lynch. … It’s the only place I had to put the goddamn thing!"

Bud Johnson (via) claims the reason he hanged an empty chair from the tree in his front yard is not because it’s meant as a symbolic lynching of Obama, but because he apparently couldn’t find any other place in his home or yard to put it.

It’s a lot harder to be a tough guy once people outside your neighborhood start finding out about your racist yard ornaments and your name and your home address, isn’t it?
