Dave Hurtt will be the first to admit that his sense of humor can sometimes take an odd turn. And he’s now ready to say that his latest attempt at humor may have gotten a little out of hand. The Florence area rancher spent close to $700 this winter to build an outhouse with the sign “Obama Presidential Library” tacked to its side and to buy the smaller trailer that he’s used to transport it to events in Ravalli County and beyond. The idea came to him from a photo he saw on the Internet. “It was just meant to poke fun,” Hurtt said. “It’s apparently been taken in a different light.” The bullet-riddled outhouse, with its graffiti reading “For a good time call 800-Michelle (crossed-out), Hillary (crossed-out) and Pelosi (circled in red)” and a fake birth certificate stamped “Bulls**t,” captured national attention after Hurtt parked it outside the recent Montana GOP convention in Missoula/Perry Backus, Ravalli Republic.

Question: Are people overreacting to Dave Hurtt's attempt at humor?
