Huffington Post: Danny Hafley of Casey County, Ky. said this week that people are reading the mannequin in his front yard depicting President Barack Obama eating a watermelon completely wrong.
"The way I look at it, it's freedom of speech," Hafley told Lex 18 in a recent interview, going on to state that he had included the watermelon not in attempt to play to any racist stereotypes, but because the statue "might get hungry standing out here."
According to Hafley, the display is "popular" and a frequent draw for people passing by to stop and take pictures.
We're quite sure it is popular with that crowd. It is freedom of speech. And we would like to thank him for it. The more we can discuss how racist the GOP base is the better we can show good people the Republican party is not for them.
