Democratic lawmakers plan to rehang a controversial painting on Capitol Hill that angered law enforcement groups with its depiction of police officers as pigs, after Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter personally took down the picture last week.

...... Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo ... CBC member

... [the CBC said]: “The rehanging of this painting ... yadayada ... protecting the rights of a student artist ... blahblah ... a proud statement in defense of the 1st Amendment"

Next time: Battery acid, or drag it out on the steps and burn it.

What would the Left do if we hung the Stars and Bars in the Capitol Building? Do we think they would gingerly take it down and politely hand it back to us?

If we’re not going to stand up for our principles as vigorously as the Left, we might as well go home.

Take it down and feed it into a woodchipper. Problem solved.

I missed the part in the Constitution about the Right to Hang Art in the Capitol.

Ummm, all the people in the painting are different animals. One of the cops is a rhinocerous.

Rhinos have a single horn... Wild boars (pigs) look like the "art."

That was my first thought, to show something along the lines of slavery or Jim Crow ... until I realized the intended message would be lost in the ensuing furor.

But an image of Clay executing a cop, that has no hint of any racial themes in it, would target Clay and only Clay in a way that's just as appallingly ugly and ofensive as his "art" is, and leave him no wiggle room to attack it in a non-hypocritical way.

Democrats lie, and when that doesn’t work, they misrepresent the truth. I strongly disapprove of violating the free speech rights of that disgusting, pro-criminal “artist”, but I disapprove as strongly of the government giving a platform for harmful speech to someone who cannot attain that platform through merit.

The painting should come down and stay down. I have, from time to time, “misfiled” inappropriate books in my local public or school library. Go to either one when it is open, put a gross book where it will never be seen but where it has not been stolen, and limit the damage inflicted by the activist left. The same should happen to this anti-police, pro-violence painting, which should end up in a custodial closet or above a ceiling panel for a decade or two.

Maybe they should investigate the student artist and see what is the real deal for that depiction of the police.

Or are they afraid of finding stolen bicycles and drugs in his room?

One of the cops is a rhinoceros.

That's McCain.
