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.coms 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 Obamas 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.
