Can you imagine if an Obama effigy were hung from a noose?
No, they wouldn’t be calling it “art.”
It would be another sign of “insane rage” and “violent escalation of rhetoric.” And: RAAAAAAACISM.
But string up a mannequin of Sarah Palin from a rope, and it’s just all in good Halloween fun.

Just more cheeky humor from the unhinged Left.

If someone did such a thing to a figure of Obama I think that person would be interrogated by the FBI.It’s amazing that people like Alec Baldwin can threaten to kill congressmen and people can do things like putting displays of punching or killing Sarah Palin and get away with it.This truly is a sick world we’re living in.
“They grow good people in the smart cities.”
-Timothy Egan, New York TImes op-ed, 10/27
Sarah Palin’s motorcade just drove right by my office window!!!
I tell you, I will do anything to put her in the White House.
You don’t see this on the MSM either, as you don’t see the explosive Obama audio from 2001. Oh…but you can find out on abcnews.com that Palin masks are rivaling masks of the Joker (from Batman) for halloween costume favorites.
Hard-hitting news, indeed.
Forget an effigy; what if you hung a Curious George doll? Think about it.
Flaming, spittle-flying rage!
Oh, and Jews & Bush would get blamed too.
In Obamaworld anything is ok if it is not about The One Dear Leader.
All hate coming from the radical liberal sociailist left is excused and anything questionable said or done by conservatives is declared to most hate filled (insert action here) ever seen by mankind.
If conservatives would stand up to this and fight back it would still happen but it would become white noise that nobody cares to hear anymore. Much like MSNBC’s programming.
You so much as speak critically of Obama, and his staffers will twist your words sic the Secret Service on you.
West Hollywood scum doing their very best.
Don’t even get me started on ABCNews.com. I’ve been at them for weeks on end now with their obnoxious coverage of Palin. Recently, they’ve been counting the days until her medical records are released. They seem to be the only ones harping on the matter. I’m sure they’re all waiting for some juicy stuff in there so they can “expose” it to the world.
I let them have it yesterday.
http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/racial_incident_rattles_george.html
This has happened to Obama. It was “big news” in the Portland area
Is it art? This effigy approved by Robert Maplethorpe (from beyond the grave).
Yes. I can.
Where is the FBI and/or Secret Service? Does only hate shown for the Great One deserve their attention?
If you’re a conservative, you’re a non-person.
Oh, those Dems. You know they’re just havin’ a little fun, right?
What’s a little effigy hangin’ around when she’s wearin’ a hundred and fifty thousand dollar wardrobe and she’s posin’ as her son’s grandmother?
C’mon. Let’s get back to stickin’ to the real issues and stay from all these doggone distractions that don’t mean anything.
Meanwhile, I can’t wait to have my taxes raised by the Messiah. It must be the right thing ’cause he says it is and there’s no way a Messiah would lie to his peops, right?
Oh, I saw it was in West Hollywood. There’s no rage like gay rage.
If that is indeed an effigy of Sarah Palin, the homeowners should be ashamed of themselves. That’s really ugly stuff. I hope they don’t have kids. I can’t wait till this election is over.
The number of drive-by slappings got so bad, they stopped keeping statistics.
I say let’s have a cage match, winner take all, between Obama and Palin. The little marxist sock puppet would be down and out within 30 seconds.
MJ - I don’t think any of this ugliness will end after the election - regardless of who wins.

They are dying to redecorate the White House.
Wasn’t there similar during the last election? Also in Follywood?
I’m sorry, but hanging a specific human being in effigy is not “all in good Halloween fun”.
What’s SCARY is the kind of person who thinks that this is acceptable, for any caindidate of any political persuasion. If there is any post-Election-Day violence (no, please God) it will be perpetrated by those who believe that anyone who disagrees with them DESERVES to be hurt/killed. This goes beyond Halloween scary; it’s JUST PLAIN SCARY.
Pray tell–what else could that be?
oops, sorry; I wrote ‘pray’.
Don’t try to weasel out of it, MJ. Read the story and it’s all too clear, even if you can’t see it in the photo.
That’s the old “definition of is” argument.
Meanwhile, any criticism of Osama Obama, the Marxist who wants to shred the Constitution, is foul and racist, and worthy of a visit from the Secret Service.
I don’t want to see any harm come to Obama personally, but will cheer the total and utter destruction of what he represents.
Unfortunately, these things don’t stop after elections, they sometimes change targets but that’s all.
I don’t see the signature glasses. If you or Malkin have confirmation that it’s Palin, I’ll take your word for it. Kay?
The point is that I condemn the actions if it’s Palin, or any other specific, live, individual.
My first thought was that was a bear skin hat and looked British…Tony Blair maybe?
No kidding, but if Obama gets in it will just be the beginning of the bad times.
Its in the article.
I agree:
frostrt said (#24):
And, while there are no glasses, this is pretty clearly meant to represent Gov. Palin. I, too, hope that the Secret Service (or FBI) has begun to investigate.
I stocked up on ammo- bring it. I find it ironic that the “progressives” are the ones wanting to turn back the clock and perpetuate the same mistakes the British Empire made (excessive taxation, restrictions on speech, outlawing firearms, etc.). Someone should do them a favor and remind them how that turned out. It may seriously come down to that and I do not think the conservatives, most of them NRA members, will lose. I am prepared to go at least as far as our founding fathers.
Why is it not ok for people to be ugly and hateful to gays because they do not agree with their lifestyle, but it is ok for gays to be ugly to those who don’t agree with their lifestyle.
PS - if one would only read the article and view the pictures, they would see it was put up by a gay man who admits it is of Palin and doesn’t like her views on homosexuality.
Ohio Man Hangs Obama “Ghost”
Idiots everywhere.
http://cbs2.com/local/Sarah.Palin.mannequin.2.849299.html
Of course, if someone were to hang a fat effigy of gay blowhard Barney Frank, these same narcissistic gay idiots would be the first to scream discrimination.
Why is misogyny okay?
Its only “art”
Mookie:
Point taken: I don’t care which side of the political fence you’re on; once you pull a stunt like that, you have lost any credibility for your opinion, whatever it is.
Anything is okay when perpetrated by the Left.
Maybe the gay men were simply jealous of her $150,000 shopping spree.
What? Is that too stereo-typical? Like being a redneck if you live in Alaska?
Sauce for the gander?
Time to play the misogyny card. Why are Obama supporters women haters?
Free speech (for some)
Hate speech (for some)
Off-limits words and speech (for some)
Why am I in this handbasket and where am I going?
Can you imagine…
No need to imagine, Michelle. Obama was hung from a tree already. - odd how that one didn’t feature on this site… I…wonder…why….
Well since it’s all been declared “fair game” by these leftist kooks, we will need the following:
One mannequin of Obama hanging
Another mannequin of Obama shaking hands with Marx.
Yet another Obama in a scene planning election strategy with Satan.
That’s good for starters.
Yes Mookie, but if that is the moral equivalence argument I would like to know where:
- Fairfield police received calls from neighbors and passersby but decided Lunsford had not committed any crime.
vs. drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene
- Journal News spoke with Fairfield Police Chief Mike Dickey, who says a Secret Service investigation
- the city’s mayor, city council and Fairfield school district leaders decided to speak out against Lunsford’s display
- school district Superintendent Cathy Milligan and Fairfield school board President Mark Morris wrote, “Standing up against racism
- Mayor Ron D’Epifanio, along with city council members, wanted people to know they do not agree with Lunsford’s display.
- Local 12’s story on the ghost has been picked up over the last 24 hours by major TV stations and newspapers across the country
Oh yea…one is a ghost and one is a person.
NJ - how bout one of Obama as Satan?
And predicitably.. the FIRST word was….
(drum roll please)
RAAACCCCIIIIISTTTTT!!!!
and this one made the TV news…as we said.. but the Palin hanging doll .. will not.
So your point is what exactly?????
If the doll were black, you’d
1) claim that it represented Obama whether it looked like him or not, and
2) compare the homeowner to the KKK
That would work. But would it be stating the obvious?
NJ-Aviator Oh, you mean, it wouldn’t be make believe? I see your point.
I say let’s try it! Seriously, had I any ability to sew, or otherwise do artsy/craftsy stuff, I’d be more than happy to hang a Halloween-Obama over my porch. I think it would be far too funny to watch the hysterical overreactions.
If something like this were done with Obama in the city in which I live, there would be riots. I am not exaggerating even a little. I just learned from a local this past weekend that up until a few years ago, our last lynching was heavily memorialized every year for the past 80 years.
Since I dont celebrate Halloween, I will take your word for it - that it is good clean Halloween fun. How strange.
Sambo, I’m not sure what your point is. Michelle asked if we could imagine what would happen if an Obama effigy was hung. It has already happened and we saw the reaction.
I think you’d be guaranteeing yourself more grief than you could imagine. I’d be willing to bet that the local authorities would consider that a hate crime.
Darn! I can’t find my National Lampoon’s Lemmings album. Time to blow the dust off of it and listen again. What was once satire is now truth.
When the Socialists start to conquer overpopulation, abortion will be only one of their methods.
Ignore it. Focus like a laser on Obama’s 1995 and 2001 interviews. Everything else is a distraction for now. My opinion.
If you want to make a REALLY SCARRRY Halloween display, make a mockup of Barack, Nan and Harry having lunch in the oval office, with jackbooted Nation of Islam thugs guarding the door.
Scare the living daylights out your neighbors.
Of course you have nothing to back this asinine statement up. Seriously, grow up. I’m the same person who has typed over and over about how making everything abour race could cost Obama this election. I’m the same person who typed about giving Palin a “pass” on the “Sambo beat the bit*#” line depending on the context. You know nothing, but keep typing and remove all doubt.
Who would hang a ghost around halloween?
If a morons for odumbo can’t see the difference between a look-alike of Palin being hung to that of a sign scotch taped to a ghost well we can’t help that type of mental illness on this site.
Please sausage fire your doc and go back to the yellow pages and look under mental health services and seek more competent care immediately.
please vote …. hitler did not take over in one day he had a plan think about that GOD help us
There is a Star of David scrawled on the ghost’s head. Shows the mental capacity of the ghost hanger. You could call BO msny things, but pro-Israel is not one of them.
any jew that votes for the one slaps the face of millions
HELLLOOOO–the point is not ‘what if the effigy was of blah blah blah’;
the point is the media will not slather this all over the usual outlets.
Yeah, and Biden’s whining about tough questions and saying that their campaign is taking ugly smears?
6 million….. to be more precise.
Here’s the reaction.
“Fairfield City and school district leaders have “condemned” the actions of a Fairfield resident who last week displayed a ghost with Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s name on it…”
Do you know if West Hollywood officials said anything about the Palin effigy? Nothing is mentioned in the article.
Our society has lost all sense of decorum. There is no sense of shame. Behavior is totally out of control. Thugs and bullies rule. Where have the social graces gone? The liberals have become intolerant of tolerance. Palin represents a return to the traditional values which made this country so successful. Obama can redistribute all the income he wants, but that will not make the irresponsible responsible or the nonproductive productive. When he fails to deliver, his base will tear him to shreds.
A smart person learns from his own mistakes; a wise person learns from other’s mistakes. Obama hasn’t learned that socialism will not grow any economy.
Um. Did you even follow the link to LOOK for the glasses?
I take that as a compliment to Gov, Palin, most popular person to be copied on Halloween. Halloween is not for scaring the folks anymore it’s a popularity contest, it seems to me and guess who’s winning.
watershed,
You sound like a socialist defending a socialist. Given the context, the audio statements are NOT benign, and they are certainly beyond Keynesian.
Sorry for #73. Wrong thread.
Has secret service visted this man?
Reference:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/09/this-is-what-they-meant-by-in-your-face/
Lufkin, TX lady was visited when Obama supporter FALSELY reported that she wanted harm to come to B. Hussein.
She NEVER mentioned she wanted any harm to come to the man!!!
Anyone else see the photos on the “related” link? There’s one of a twelve year-old girl wearing a shirt with a picture of a donkey humping an elephant on it. Well, that’s it, I’m convinced. I’m voting for the Democrats.
You would think that a gay man would have more style than this. He is obviously a poser. That Palin hair style is horrendous and he didnt even bother to do anything with those split ends. Cream rinse boyfriend!
Obama was hung in effigy. MM and the right wing noise machine didn’t cover it.
Yet we all seem to know about it.
LGM, you are a good follower.
Just last night my middle daughter and I walked up to Walmart as we do, and actually met with and talked to McCain/Palin supporters who had set up card tables out in front with signs/stickers/buttons for them as well as Prop 8 (The Prop. to make man/woman only marriage a State Constitutional Ammendment here in Calif).
I got to talking to the man operating the stand who was a former Navy SEAL and listened as he told me about the ways he was abused and threatened verbally all day by people supporting Capt. Big Ears and His Boy Blunder.
He even told me how one guy wanted to actually fight him, threatening to beat the hell out of him etc.
This is the face of those that support Obama. This is the face of this country, our nation, following an Obama Presidency.
Many people may have forgotten how President Bush is the first President since before Jimmy Carter who was unable to walk the route from the Capital to the White House following his Innauguration due to the a____les along the route threatening him, throwing things at him, yelling etc., like some Third World Country.
What will it be like come Nov. 5th onward?
How will these Liberal “Peace, Love, Tolerance” types react to us whether McCain wins or not?
With poice departments across the country shoring up the personnel and plans for the days following the election, why aren’t more people publically concerned with how the Left is acting in this country? Why aren’t there more outlets coming forward to rebuke the violence and tendancy towards destruction that Liberals and Democrats have come to embrace as a legitimate form of discourse?
While they whined and complained ad nauseum from 2000 to the present day about how merely asking for someone to produce ID in order to guarantee that the election was not to be defrauded was an act of “Voter Intimidation”, they have lead a Nationwide Campaign to intimidate each and every person who has the slightest bit of opposing view or statement against Obama…either with actual violence and vandalism to verbally abusing them and cries of racism.
Where are the voices of reason in this Nation?
When did we turn into a Banana Republic?
And yes, this weekend I will be making a trip back to WalMart…in order to make sure that I have plenty of rounds available for all my Home Security Devices.
You’re late and lame, lgm. And you missed the point of her post….AGAIN!
See my #69 comment.
No worries, Corkie. We’ve come to know that the first sentence of your comment applies to every comment ever offered here by watershed.
You should post the same first sentence on every thread on this blog from now on. Even if he doesn’t comment on a particular topic, it will be a fitting reminder to everyone here that watershed is a complete tool.
Oooh. How trite. I’m absolutely crushed, you Obama shill, you.
Off topic, but Ted Stevens just got GAC on 7 counts. This is bad timing for the GOP.
Two kids have been arrested in a plot to kill bho. I wonder if the attention seeking twerps will ever see sunlight again? I can only imagine if they plotted against McCain or Palin. They would be praised.
Maybe praised by the same fringe nutjobs on the left, like those on the fringe right who will be praising these “twerps”. How many plots to kill George W. Bush have been discovered in the past 8 years?
How many do you require?
Praised by the same folks who carried Bush effigies around, made “art” displays showing ways to kill him, made movies about his assassination, begged, pleaded for someone to do it, played out mock assassinations of him on the radio etc., etc., etc….
Meet
Just the ones they’ve abducted.
Well…there was that one to crash a 757 into the White House. Or doesn’t that count because it was “an inside job”?
LGM the right wing media does cover stories on racist treatment on BO but it ignores the hateful treatment on Palin and other fellow conservatives. Just like there is very little reporting on black on white crime, whereas its full court press when its a white on black crime. Remember your media is vast and huge compared to the right wing media.
It is MJ -the owner admitted it as such and he is quite pleased with himself. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out its Palin even if not a word was said by the effigy owner.
And the owner claims it should be viewed as “art”.
Guess he was fresh out of Maddona and Child statues to crap on.
Hate to break it to you, but mistressjustice isn’t exactly Mensa material–more like Densa.
Olberman devoted a segment to denouncing the Palin hanging in effigy last night. Do you care to take back any of your now obviously premature condemnation of the actual news media?
Must have happaned after I went to bed. Yes I am shocked that he would denouce the hanging. Thanks for your quick answers now if you could tell me about the daily abortion clinics being bombed daily. I have been waiting for over a year for that one. Back to the hanging, I am shocked that the MSM even mentioned the incident.
That’s a start. Any chance he’ll denounce Bush effigies anytime soon? Or is he just setting himself up to be able to denounce all Obama effigies that might crop up?
LGM - Is your whole purpose in posting here just to attempt to embarrass and harangue MM? Because it sure seems like it, given the majority of your posts nearly always contain some jibe or knock at her opinions or veracity.
devoted a segment to denouncing the Palin hanging in effigy last night. Do you care to take back any of your now obviously premature condemnation of the actual news media?
Olberman=actual news media? Huh?
If that had been Obama, the boys who did it would be serving some serious Jail Time……

…..but since its a conservative, white female who happens to be a serious challenge to Obama, ahhhh, that’s okay……
