There were literally hundreds of available images of W being hung in effigy, it was the favorite during protest marches.
Agreed. History students know this has been part of Free Speech for almost 250 years.

The first U.S. president to be hung in effigy was
John Tyler, the tenth president of the United States.
On August 16, 1841 (and again in 1842), angry protesters, largely members of his own Whig party, marched on the White House. The mob was incensed by Tyler's veto of a bill to re-establish the Bank of the United States, a key Whig platform.
During the demonstration, the rioters:
- Hurled stones at the White House.
- Shot guns into the air.
- Hung an effigy of the President and set it on fire.
This event is considered one of the most violent demonstrations to have occurred near the White House at the time and led to the creation of the first District of Columbia police force. Tyler's actions resulted in him being expelled from his own party, and his cabinet members (except for Daniel Webster) resigned.
Well, being as I was here and don't remember it, that claim was based on the myriad leftists who did not condemn them... I wonder if we can find that condemnation. You were here when Trump was first in the office I believe, though not when W was around...
I will also note that there was no "outrage" on my part about either of them, though I did think she might get a visit from SS for the one with the severed head. It wasn't funny...
I remember that movie that they put out that had W being assassinated.... good times.
Maybe I'm missing something, but who here supports free speech and who supports nothing negative about Dear Leader?
FWIW, I'm a staunch supporter of our Republic and our Constitution. Those Americans who are against it are domestic enemies.
