Hanged Obama effigy found at Ky. school
Published: Oct. 29, 2008 at 4:01 PM
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- University of Kentucky officials said an effigy of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama was found hanging from a tree on campus Wednesday.
...Lee Todd, the university president, said it is not yet known whether a student was responsible for the effigy and the incident is being investigated by the University Police Department and the Lexington Police Department. He said the Secret Service has been notified.
"It's a very embarrassing situation that has happened on our campus, regardless of who did it," Todd said.
He described hanging the effigy as a "despicable act."
"We certainly believe in political expression, just not in this form," he said.
Latest radio reports have said this will be investigated as a "hate crime" and the FBI has also been called in.
Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In 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. The mannequin is dressed in brunet wig, glasses and a red business suit. Another mannequin dressed as John McCain emerges from a flaming chimney. Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene. Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween. He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."

Dear Adrienne,
Would you consider highlighting this petition, which calls for the recognition of the rights and dignity of the human person, on your blog, please.
Thanks

I think it is horrific to hang either of the candidates as a joke, prank or for Halloween. It is apparent there is a huge double standard that just gets bigger and bigger each day.
As suggested on www.spiritdaily.com: take your Holy Water and or Blessed salt and sprinkle in the voting booth and or around the election poll. I encourage all to do this!!!
Yeah, really, this racial card business is for the birds and HAS been for the birds for YeARS!!!! Like Laura Ingram said this morning, "People are so tired of the racial card being played, they just want to get on with the election of the best candidate"
Lord help us!!
Hugs!

Hi Ebeth
Do you know, I'm such an airhead, I can't remember. All I do remember is thinking that the UN need to be reminded what true human rights are!
Interesting they defended the hanging of Sarah Palin as being in the spirit of Halloween. I just did a post on Halloween as the new lifestyle in our culture.
