Pennsylvania Mayor Posts Racist Meme About Lynching President Obama
Source: Huffington Post
Residents of a small Pennsylvania borough are urging the mayor to quit after he made a series of inflammatory and racist Facebook posts, including a meme suggesting that President Barack Obama should be lynched.
The image, posted by West York Mayor Charles Wasko, showed Clint Eastwood from the film The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and a noose. The caption read: Barry, this rope is for you. You wanna bring that empty chair over here!

(732 posts)One image from June on the Facebook page of West York Mayor Charles Wasko is of a wagon or wheelbarrow full of orangutans, including the caption, "Aww ... moving day at the Whitehouse has finally arrived." The wheelbarrow has the slogan "Kenya or bust" on it.
A picture of a grinning chimpanzee doesn't have a caption, but a comment posted on the mayor's page Feb. 14 says, "Most think it is Obama's picture......sorry its Moochelles baby photo" - an apparent reference to first lady Michelle Obama.

I guess I have been lucky the last 30 years of my life I have lived in pretty progressive states. This kind of behavior just seems foreign to me.
I have certainly run into assholes like this but they have been few and far between.

I'm picking up Polish and Ukranian as ethnicity for Wasko in online searches. What puzzles me is how der dRumpf is going to hold all the Republican Heritage Group old line ABN-OUN nazi nationals in line, among his coalition of neo-nazis and supremacists, what with his obvious designs to sell out East Europe, Central Europe, and the Baltics out to his pal Putin's tank divisions. Those OUN types would openly jump ship chop chop if they were capable of thinking clearly.
But nobody ever justly accuses the nazis of clear thinking, I suppose.
