Conservative group calls to lynch Obama and make it a ‘national holiday’




A conservative Facebook group this week suggested that the lynching of President Barack Obama should be made into a “national holiday.”

Earlier this week, Examiner.com’s Robert Sobel pointed out that the Facebook group “America the next generation” had posted a photo of the president in a noose with the caption “The making of a National Holiday.” The image was apparently a composite of Obama’s head and a frame from the leaked video of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein being executed.

After some discussion between members of the “America the next generation” group and criticism from other Facebook users, the photo was eventually taken down. Some group members feared that lynching the president could make him into a “martyr.”

City-Data dot com.
There was a member/poster there that wrote President Obama should be hung by the neck until dead.

Guess what I did about it?

I contacted the SS. I sincerely hope they checked that person out.

BTW, I thought hate speech on facebook & twitter was prohibited? What's with this stuff?

We need to face the facts that this country never fixed the racist problem we have ignored it and let it fester.

I guess that's how you've got to handle dangerous, treasonous Facebook pages that the admin won't take down. Here's their first comment: "This page WAS ran by backwards fucks who thought they could post a pic Of Obama getting lynched and get away with it. Now it haz GOATZ!!!"



Here's what it looks like now:

administrator, which makes all the more hilarious. Here's what I found on the Daily Kos:

"Vyan posted a diary yesterday that showed us a hideously sick and disturbed photoshop of a new national holiday being created out of lynching President Obama. Well, that horrible lynching image is now gone. The hate group that posted it on their Facebook page, America the next Generation, was so upset by the flood of angry liberals coming to their site they appointed a new Administrator to clean out all the liberal trash and trolls. This new Admin made the appropriate zero-tolerance public noises and then, with the haters reassured, revoked the site owner's Admin privileges, readmitted everyone who had been banned, invited in his own brand of merry pranksters, and then went to town giving the page a makeover with....goats."

Is the admin and he's a nut. People are ripping him on his FB page. I could only stand a moment or two, but some sanity prevails.

Another far right racist group. It makes me sick. If you don't like him, fine, but this is way over the top.
