    Absolutely no reason to do something like this. Nothing is sacred anymore; it's all up in the air.

    Don't get me started on Woody Guthrie.

    Yeah, the *other* stanzas of our national anthem, and the author, are racist as hell. This has been debated for some time, and the red paint thing is not new either.

    These are some fools doing graffiti and not the tasteful type.

    Move along

    Christmas has passed without damage, so right wingers need some new faux outrage to rally about.

    When you got nothing else... always go back to culture wars.

    It’s like going to a Jimmy Buffett concert. In the end, you know he’s at least going to play Margaritaville.

    Culture wars against a fantasy version of the Iluminiti led deep liberal state is the Right Wing version of Margaritaville. It’s all they have to play
    and all their people came to see in the end.

    They might have done it to their own statue to get sympathy. I’ll wait for all the facts.

    Oh..
    Why was your thread title hinting at some sort of systemic issue when you just posted a single incident?
