Of Course It's Not Racist!

More teabagger racism...and stupidity.



Confronted about his life-size statue of President Obama eating a watermelon, Danny Hafley of Kentucky denied any racial motivation.

"The way I look at it, it's freedom of speech," the Casey County resident told Lex 18 News. "I don't know how other people will take it." A

t least one of Hafley's neighbors is taking it as a sign of disrespect.

"If he wants to place it someplace else that would be fine," the anonymous neighbor told the NBC affiliate. "We don't have black people in this community but I'm sure they travel this road like everybody else does. They could be offended. I don't agree with it."

Hafley, who initially put up the effigy just before the presidential election and recently moved it near the road that runs by his home, says he won't be taking it down unless it gets him in trouble.

"That's my buddy. He don't talk. Don't make no smart comments," he said. "If I had a dollar for everyone who stopped and took a picture of it I'd be a millionaire."

Pressed to explain the significance of the watermelon, Hafley again shrugged off suggestions that it could be seen as racist. "[I thought he] might get hungry standing out here," Hafley said.

According to one local resident, the watermelon made its first appearance after Obama was reelected. Prior to that the mannequin held up a sign that read, "In another 4 years, this will destroy us."

You are probably correct. But you know what? At least he is man enough to stand up for what he believes in. He is prepared to face whatever consequences this may bring him. This was originally displayed during election time with a sign that read, "4 more years of this will destroy America." It wasn't until someone else tried to turn it into something racist, that he added the watermelon. It wasn't racist views that started this whole thing. It was his fear of "Godless" man being elected as our president again. He believes in God and believes that God should be an important part of our government, school, daily lifes, etc. He believes in our constitutional rights (all of them........freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, etc)

You didn't mention they were not in the article but in the comments section following the article.

What did she say in the quote you posted that makes you believe he is a tea party member?

who cares? So there's a couple of rednecks with an Obama effigy. So what? Why is this important? You seem to have the goal of fanning the flames. Why are you trying to stoke racial tensions?

Maybe he thinks I will find the post tempting. You know being a racist and all.

:rofl2:

They are sooooooo transparent
 
Do we know if Obama likes watermelon or not? I mean if he has ever eaten watermelon in the past?

What if he depicted Obama eating a cheeseburger? Would that be OK

Notice how Howie is no longer posting in this thread after cawacko pwned him.

Hafley is obviously a Democrat, since he's an artist and most artists are Democrats. Also he lives in a trailer so he's probably a taker, and therefore a Democrat.
 
the guy is obviously a tea party member you dumbasses. he's obviously not a democrat, and he sure isn't a classy repub. that only leaves being a bible toting redneck retard tea bagger.
 
the proof is he is not an obama supporter, is from a red state, and he's racist and has a "i don't give a fuck what you think" mentality. thats the proof that it is a tea bagger. that's what teabaggers act like.

Definitely not a Democrat, huh? That sounds a lot like the Tea Party's Contract with America:

Actually, I've been watching on the news about how badly the Republicans are caving to the president. :)
