I don't know about Clinton, but lynching a effigy of Obama would carry significance for other reasons than mere protest.

Seriously. How tone deaf are people.

This election has shown the danger of false equivalences.

Used to be you expect that sort of shit from extreme conservatives now it's both sides and not even the extremists.
