More bad news for the cons, Change is happening faster than they can digest it


Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and Rep. Calvin Smyre (D-Columbus) announced this week that the state has selected artist Andy Davis to create the piece. The sculpture will be placed on the northeast quadrant of the Capitol grounds overlooking Liberty Plaza, replacing a likeness of 19th century politician and newspaperman Tom Watson, a white supremacist. Watson’s statute was removed from the Georgia Capitol lawn in November 2013, reports local station WMAZ-13.

That should drive cons crazy

 

[guno]

Looks they are getting whiplash from having their teeth kicked in a lot the past few weeks

Tom Watson? Never heard of him.

When do we tear down the Lincoln Memorial? He wanted to deport blacks out of America. Guess that racism is ok?

How do you see that as bad news? A statue of a Republican is good news.

Maybe now that they are allowing statues of Republicans we can get Reagan on Mt. Rushmore!

 

[Katzndogz]

Never heard of Tom Watson. The whoring alcoholic MLK is perfect for democrats though.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Watson wasn't a republican, he was a member of the Populist party.

Let me commend you on this July 4th weekend for your truly American Spirit.

It's people like you that really make things work.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Watson's statue wasn't replaced by MLK.

It sounds like it was taken down two years ago.

The OP appears to be misleading.

As for a statue of MLK....who cares ?

I've passed by statues of better people than him and not given it a second thought.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yeah.....fucken racists.

 

[Katzndogz]

Please.
Anything to further divide the country has to be a good thing

 

[ScienceRocks]

Pretty much a statue of a negroe that represents a race that couldn't maintain civilization if they had too. I fear for the future of this effin species.

"Watson’s statute was removed from the Georgia Capitol lawn in November 2013"

2013?

and you're coming about it now?


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Watson, a former state lawmaker, congressman and U.S. senator, was viewed by many as a hero when his statue was dedicated in 1932."

 

[Auld Phart]

Hey, guano...

why was it moved, and where was it moved to?

oops...

"A crane then hoisted it and the statue’s heavy stone base away from the state Capitol’s west steps. It will be permanently relocated to a park across the street.

Workers guide the statue of Thomas Watson as it is removed from the front of the Georgia State Capitol on Friday, Nov. 29, 2013. The statue was placed across the street in the Talmadge Plaza.

Gov. Nathan Deal approved the statue’s relocation but has stressed the decision was based on safety: The west steps are deteriorating, and the state plans to renovate both them and the entrance to the building"

Wasn't moved because they wanted a statue of MLK after all.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If there is one good thing I can say about Guno...the guy is consistent.

Consistently wrong, consistently misleading, consistently race baiting, consistently divisive...but consistent.

 

[Missourian]

Personally I have no problem with Tom Whatshisface moving across the street and Dr. King taking a place of honor on the Georgia Capitol.

While I've never heard of Tom, everyone knows Dr King's accomplishments.

 

[Stephanie]

These people are starting to sound just like ISIS. Radical Muslims

They go around blowing up statues they don't like either.
