Both sides are racists....There is more than enough video of the DNC to show Dems being racists against republicans, its just a different type of racism. (Red necks, etc.)It's their yard, who cares, not too much longer and its all over for another 3 years before it starts up again....if it makes the Dems feel any better, I'm sure there is a Romney hanging from a tree in California. My advice stay away from both sides and get to know the Libertarian party better. Dems and Republicans are both a six pack full of shady....

Rednecks aren't a race, whocareswhatithink. There's a bit of a difference.

You know exactly what Im trying to say....Im pretty sure all republicans are not "racist", I see it as hanging a politican from a tree, as I pointed out, Im sure Romney is hanging from a tree somewhere else in the country.

Racisim/Discrimination are a very blurred line in verbage.

If you like I rephase the sentence: There is more than enough video of the DNC to show Dems discrimating against republicans and calling all Republicans red necks.

The point is, both sides are quick to point fingers at the other for being hippies/govt mooching etc (D) to rednecks/bible beaters (R).....its a form of racisim/discrimation

How is that for you....

It doesn't matter whose side you're on. Classless is classless and this is classless.

Romney is not hanging from a tree somewhere....he is strapped to the top of the car on the road somewhere! lol!

None of this is racist.

First, they're not hanging from a tree, they're caught in a spiderweb, used as a metaphor to represent the current administrations lack of truthfulness. Second, everyone who feels this is a targeted, racist display is conveniently ignoring the fact that Biden (a White man) is also caught in this web (reverse discrimination?).

Lighten up people. It's a Halloween display with political overtones. It's their property and their right to display it. It's not classless, it's just a lighthearted display that too many uptight people (see Kathleen Thompson) are making a big deal about.

You guys REALLY need to use common sense. All political parties are one sided. They are built on agendas that are specific to what that party believes and how they are run. This is the reason why there are different parties all with their own agendas, there is hardly a case where the play well. That being said, when YOU support a political party then you support that agenda. These are decisions that YOU make and you contribute your time, money and support to these political parties.

You state that the Democrats (a political party; not a race of people) is racist again rednecks? I'd like to see white people try to rally against racism for white people, and get people behind that! Try driving that line as hard as possible until it becomes scripture and get all whites behind you on that! All have tried and all have failed, because racism was created BY the white man! Any white person with common sense (which should be applied to everyone but unfortunately isn't the case) will tell you the same thing!

Yeah Jim, but don't you think that with the history of racism in America embedded in all of us and our history books, that common sense would govern this decision to hang the Obama one from the tree and not the Romney one? I mean they have a sign out front that shows support for Romney and Ryan, so this display is obviously one sided! I would think that common sense would have told these people that this is the message that it will give to the rest of the world. These people reside on republican ground and all in the area most likely know the people that live there and support them in their statement and will come out stating, "This is NOT RACIST!" but behind closed doors some one is knocking their elbow to the other saying, "But it kind of is right?" laughing with cocktails in their hands.

if the romney/ryan CAMPAIGN SIGN WASN'T THERE, maybe it was just a politician hanging from a tree....but couple with that, with all the racists here in texas, we all know what these goons were thinking. and name something racist democrats have done or said lately, liar.
