How much lower can progressive get? In an "art" exhibit in Oregon, which opened 13 July...In the street-facing window, the gallery had put up an extremely graphic “ISIS-style” illustration of President Trump getting his throat slashed in an apparent beheading, while also wearing a tiny burning American f**g pin for good measure. The uncensored image, which is too disturbing to even show, was accompanied by the emboldened words “F— Trump” and was merely a preview for the equally upsetting art on the other side of the window.

So.. how about it, after the owner of the building and therefore their landlord forced them to remove the offense from the window, naturally they are complaining that they have a Constitutional right and being forced to remove it limited on their "free speech." What do you think... should these kinds of things be a right or should it be like yelling fire in a crowed theater?

The Progressives have a first amendment right to make complete asses of themselves, but not against the wishes of the owner of a private property. The owner had a right to send the ugliness elsewhere.

I do agree with you. However, we are talking about an anti-trump state who has ruled against commonsense as well as common decency. If this goes to court, they may rule against the owner.

I read this!! And did you also read that the gallery owner and the car place upstairs (who also got calls) were COMPLAINING that the calls were inappropriate. Lolol what morons. Wonder what would happen if an image like that was rendered and an art exhibit was put together about, say, Muslim terrorists? Can you even imagine the outrage and weeks of r**ts? Not to mention the building would probably be burned down, and a brick would've immediately been thrown through the window. Justifiably, the media would crow, for such a h**eful image. AAAARGH!

If the depiction was a muslim, it would be prosecuted as a h**e crime. I believe that these "artist" are promoting a h**e crime against our president. America of old would not tolerate this, but we live in the era of the children from the "I" generation. How far we have slipped into darkness, it saddens my heart.

debeda

YES I agree. It is a h**e crime against our president. Renditions of bloody murder are NOT ART!!!!!

How funny. You are complaining how Trump is being treated after the way you treated Obama! Here's a 54 minute long tape of the rights extreme love fest for President Obama. I am sure you will enjoy it though I could only watch the first couple minutes. You might want to save it so you can watch it over and over as you conservatives seem to so enjoy what was being done here. Oh, and notice how it starts out by saying it is "our first amendment right!" How ironic don't you think!

The display in Oregon is sick but equally sick is that you conservatives have no clue that the way Trump is being treated today is the same way you treated Obama when it was your turn. You honestly don't remember the extreme hatred you had for our past president and how openly you displayed it? Why is it you are so SHOCKED that Trump is being treated the same way you treated president Obama? Talk about hypocrisy you just painted your whole body in it.

Nice job Pennylynn, you never cease to amaze. I would think a Jew would understand that h**e was h**e and to participate in it (K**lery) just as evil as the display you are complaining about. Anytime you think the left just a single h**e filled organism then just look in the mirror and understand that they are not alone...

PeterS

So you want to prosecute this as a h**e crime? If you conservatives could openly show your hatred for Obama why is it you get your nickers in an uproar when the left returns the same?

PeterS

So is this art or a h**e crime? How is it you conservatives have forgotten how atrocious your behavior was towards Obama?

Hypocrite!

Bush had the highest job approval rating ever given a president. So its no like we didn't support the guy we simply didn't support him after he invaded Iraq and for the fallacies he used to get us into the war. Even then we didn't like fallacies Blade. Too bad that none of you pay attention to what is happening and why it happened...

PeterS

Blade, since you missed it this is what I said to Pennylynn: The display in Oregon is sick but equally sick is that you conservatives have no clue that the way Trump is being treated today is the same way you treated Obama when it was your turn. You honestly don't remember the extreme hatred you had for our past president and how openly you displayed it? Why is it you are so SHOCKED that Trump is being treated the same way you treated president Obama? Talk about hypocrisy you just painted your whole body in it.

I don't condone any denigrating action taken by Liberals but I just find it so ironic that you have no memory of how wretched you treated President Barack Obama. Do you people honestly have no memory of that? How about how badly you treated Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary or your destruction of Carter--a Christian and one of the most decent men ever to hold office? Kennedy was probably the last guy you ever treated decently and he was one of the biggest adulterers to ever hold office. How ironic is that!

debeda

PeterS you're full of it. Obama was rhapsodized about and fawned over by 9/10ths of the media, and always had the race card to play against those who didn't agree with him "Well, uh, I am the first African-American President and some folks have a hard time with that. Prez Trump is attacked multiple times DAILY by you rabid libs and your attack pigs at ABCCBSMSNBCCNN. You have 54 minutes for 8 years? If we did the same type of compilation for our current president it would be a 6 month daily miniseries!

PeterS

So you are saying your behavior doesn't count because only Fox and Brietbart could tell the story the way that was acceptable to conservatives? Gosh sorry, go ahead and hang all the liberals you want in effigy--I guess you poor little things so oppressed we deserve it...

How amusing or is it just sad. Progressives on OPP often point out obama is not our president, and I agree that I was without a real president for 8 long years. They make this claim whenever a conservative brings up the bad actions of obama while responding in a thread. But, here I see at least one is saying that this "art" should not be offensive because...."just look at what you said or did to..........obama."

That aside, I firmly believe that the "art" in this store is reprehensible. It is disrespectful, and in some with deranged mind (and there seems to be bumper crop) implies acceptance of violence directed at our President. It is inexcusable and Democrats should not tolerate this kind of behavior in their constituents.
