...Notable conservatives like Michelle Malkin and writers at Breitbart.com, as well blogger Prof. Glenn Reynolds, kicked off the trend, according to the conservative blog Legal Insurrection.

The blog, which had asked readers to send in photos of empty chairs, updated its post midday to say that the response had been so overwhelming — and the backlog of photos so great — that they were forced to close submissions.

....Meanwhile, #Eastwooding — which was trending on Twitter last week after the Hollywood icon’s speech, and refers to an address to an empty chair — has arrived at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.

The Republicans that thought this "chair" skit was stupid had no vision of the possibilities!

The dummies don't realize we are living "rent free" in their heads! Chairs are everywhere! Ha Ha! Every time they go to a restaurant, movie theater, coffee shop or God forbid the DNC convention they are going to be faced with... EMPTY chairs! You will see these libs kicking chairs and punishing chairs. Little do they realize that it is not chair! It is the message of the chair! Empty chairs are speaking throughout our country!!
