Metaphoric Framing

I was reading the Trib today and found another framing metaphor said once again by good ol' Senator Buttars. It talks about his racial (and metaphoric framing) statment he put out last week, "This baby is black, I'll tell you. This is a dark, ugly thing...", about a bill and the NAACP is very frustrated. This new statement he said today is the icing on the cake for the last one. Since the NAACP is on his back so much, Buttars compares them to "a hate-lynch mob".
Nice framing Buttars, nice.

hey there you free speech phony, yeah right…YOU!!!and pull your pants up!!

you are a hypocrite liar who publicly preaches free speech (except when it is something with which you disagree)but who really hates open discourse.

let’s see how stupid you people really are: (rules of the truly stupid souless morons):

1. anyone who might say, “hey, you have a black mark on your {record}{shirt} {soul}” is a racist devil to be destroyed.
If i say “that black mark on your record is one ugly baby” I should have my gonads removed by a team of man hating lesbian trasgendered half elf midgets with a speech impediment.

Pay attention to which media outlets are pumping up this story. These are the enemies of free speech.

2. Only black people can use the word “lynched”, even if the person lives in Lynchberg, Tenn. or Lynchberg, Va. And they should be fired if they aren’t black. All whites who are named Lynch must be sent to a concentration camp run by …. you get the idea.

3. If i say “white lie” I am a racist who must be destroyed, unless I am a homo, woman, oriental, indio, or….anything besides a white male.

This reminds me of the lynching of Don Imus. And that was concocted to discipline the talk show host roster to not speak ill of Hillary.
