Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In WeHo

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) ― A Halloween decoration showing a mannequin dressed as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of a West Hollywood home is drawing giggles from some passers-by and gasps of outrage from others.

Can you imagine the OUTRAGE if this was Obama?

Thoroughly disgusting!!! If it were Obama, West Hollywood might be on fire by now.

George, I love you but I resist this notion that everytime something like this is done a city ends up on fire.

I've seen a poster circulated of Obama and a noose with the caption "Asphixiation:The (expletive) Solution.

A Republican Womens group sent out literature that had Fake food stamp dollars with Obama's picture on it and pictures of watermelons, fried chicken and the likes.

The idiot Republican youth President made his statements about Obama's lips without a great fallout or violence.

Then there is this gem in Ohio:

You've got the idiot who is now popular for his Obama monkey.

You could go on and on with examples of stupid people doing stupid things. What you cannot do is focus on those stupid people or try to make it indicative of the majority.

I would imagine that such an effigy of Obama would be met like this one with "some people giggling and others outraged".

Is there a more significant connotation of Obama hanging by a noose?...Absolutely. Is there some great riot everytime some idiot does something like that?...Absolutely not.

There are ignorant people on both sides of the fences. Lord help us all if any of them gain power.

Classless, not funny at all.

Should this not be considered a hate crime?

The Obama ghost in Fairfield, Ohio is just a few miles (maybe 5 or 6) from my house. I haven't seen it and don't know if it is still there or not.

In my opinion, hanging people in effigy is part of our "free speech."
Burning a flag is also "free speech" thanks to our Supreme Court.
