At a Minnesota rally for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump today, Reuters Politics photographed one Trump supporter wearing a pretty provocative T-shirt.
I am pretty sure Donald Trump didn’t see this shirt, he would have brought the guy onstage and congratulated him on his outfit.

Yes, the year is 2014 and this despicable display is still considered funny and lighthearted by some. The people displaying the decoration on their property in Fort Campbell Ky. claimed they did not mean to cause any hard feelings with their display.
As you can see from the picture above, three black figures are hanging from a tree. One male, one female and one child. A fourth figure of another child has a knife in its back and is seen on the ground apparently trying to help get the male figure down. The sign carried by the black male figure is not legible in this photo.
Someone in the community took a photo of the display and forwarded it to Clarksville Now. Fort Campbell Public Affairs was also notified and after an investigation was conducted, the owners of the display removed it an offered an apology to the community.
Allen West, the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus, thinks something a fellow caucus member said was “very reprehensible.”
West appeared on Fox News and spoke about a comment Democratic Representative André Carson made about the Teaparty. Carson previously said that some Teaparty members of Congress “would love to see us as second-class citizens” and would love to see blacks “hanging on a tree.”
Asked for his response to Carson, Allen West had this to say;
“When you start using words such as lynching, that’s a very reprehensible word and I think we should move away from using that type of language.”
Yes, lynching used in any form is reprehensible. But Allen West, acting as the water boy for morality is simply laughable. West was the same Republican moral figure who entered the crazy zone and threatened a female member of congress, telling her “you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige.”
But West didn’t stop there with his attacks on Debbie Wasserman-Schultz . He went on to say, “you are the most vile, unprofessional ‚and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up.”
Reprehensible, indeed Mr West. You and the things you say are reprehensible!
