Man who posted picture of Obama in a noose is upset over backlash: But the Plymouth resident insisted that his tweets were not racist.

[dailykos.com] “My only regret is being called racist when my opinion of the president has more to do with [Obama] being a communist as opposed to being black,” he told MPR News in an email.

There is probably a lesson to be learned in all of this, but unfortunately the sort of people who post images of the president of the United States hanging from a noose are not very good at learning those lessons. They spend much more of their time complaining about how they're being demonized now when they just wanted to make a simple point that they believe certain people really ought to be dead because they're probably communists.
