North Carolina politics turned very ugly Sunday when churchgoers in Cumberland County found fliers depicting a lynching tucked under their windshield wipers. Text superimposed over the lynching photo read, “Kay Hagan doesn’t win! Obama’s impeachment will begin! Vote in 2014.”
In smaller text, the flier read, “Not endorsed by any candidate,” though it would seem impossible to believe it was the work of anyone but Democrat supporters of Hagan.

Daily Banter White House correspondent Tommy Christopher tweeted that the flier looked less like a pro-Hagan screed and “more like a GOP campaign promise.”
@FO_Woolverton How is that pro-@KayHagan? Looks more like a GOP campaign promise to me. http://t.co/c5Uexk7IR1

@tommyxtopher Flyer was distributed at black church, I think to tell black Obama supporters: “Keep Kay to protect Obama from impeachment"

@FO_Woolverton Or to intimidate them. Kinda Rorschacy there.

@FO_Woolverton Seriously @tommyxtopher? You don't see anything wrong with using a picture of a lynching? Absolutely Disgusting!

@LadyOnTheRight1 @FO_Woolverton huh? I said it looks like a GOP flyer to me, to threaten and intimidate.

.@tommyxtopher It clearly says, If "Kay Hagan Doesn't WIN!"… there will be a lynching. So gross. @FO_Woolverton

@tommyxtopher If "Kay Hagan Doesn't WIN!"… there will be a lynching. How can you ignore the picture of the lynching? @FO_Woolverton

@tommyxtopher @LadyOnTheRight1 @FO_Woolverton Name some Reps running on impeachment. Sounds like Biden's "Day gon putcha in CHAINS!!!" To me

@LadyOnTheRight1 @FO_Woolverton not ignoring it. Again, looks more like Republican campaign promise/sick intimidation.
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) October 21, 2014
Of course it does.
@tommyxtopher You're in deep denial, sir. @FO_Woolverton
