You know what's funny, is you calling people stupid right left and center, but you can't spell for shit/are clearly an uneducated dolt. The only time you can type a coherent sentence is when you cut and paste from Wikipedia. LOL Ignorance = anyone still backing the Republican fiasco. And people that make fun of gays are usually closet gay. And you do look a little on the non-lipstick-wearing side...
I dont have a problem with it. I would not put it in my yard. But what ever happened to "AMERICA home of the brave land of the FREE" Just because you dont find it funny or you find it offensive doesnt mean that others aren't laughing or smilling at it.
Effigy of Obama found at the University of Kentucky hanging from a tree.
This is the second effigy of Barack Obama; the first found at a Christian college in Oregon where 4 students were punished when they confessed to hanging the effigy....
well this country has a history of lynching BLACK MALES!! that is WHY It is not FUNNY WHEN WHITE PEOPLE DO IT! buy the book "Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America" .sick people making postcards of lynchings and sending it to their friends in other states.. you know she can't get lynched in real life anyhow cause she has a high powered rifle hahaha
At least you admit that both are unacceptable. I'm sick of people claiming any attack towards Obama is racism when they openly attack McCain and Palin.
I love bad taste. These men are following in the footsteps of the late and great Bill Hicks, a hero of mine. Lighten up, people. It's a Halloween decoration. What's really sickening isn't the decoration, it's how people are reacting to it.
Get real People. It's Funny As Hell Because Everyone Assumes It's Palin & mcAin. Did They Confirm That It Is Them No. It's Just Decoration. Beside MCain Is Not Gonna Win. Guarenteed
What do you suppose would happen if a hanging Obama mannequin or hanging gay couple mannequins were used for Halloween props? mmm hmmm... Hate crimes...
I admit that if the effigy were of Obama people would scream racism. However, in truth, America is full of racists (just read craigs list rants and raves) so the outcry would have some standing. On the other hand, there is no US history (except Salem MA witch trials) of white women being hung and even more importantly, almost no prejudice against white women in general. Hence the comparison is fallacious at best.
So I'm sexist why? I clearly offend you, but I don't understand your problem and whats more, you have said absolutely nothing about what I wrote. If you have some sort of logical argument pertaining to my claim that effigies of hanging African Americans constitute hate crimes whereas effigies of white women do not I will be thrilled to dialog with you about it. If you cannot or will not participate in such a debate, try to refrain from name calling. Remember, you don't know me at all.
by your own deffinition, hanging an effigy of a real person is a "hate crime" , hate crime is not only in reference to black people . it's any crime that singles out one group for SEX, color or Creed. there for sexism or hanging a women IS a hate crime . take your blinders off.
So you have decided to look up "hate crime" on wikipedia and still cannot help but throw out jabs against me personally. Good job! All of that aside, lets stick with the issue at hand. According to the FBI crime tracking system "An analysis of the 7,621 Hate Crime incidents reported in 2007 revealed the following: * 50.8 percent were racially motivated. * 18.4 percent were motivated by religious bias. * 16.6 percent resulted from sexual-orientation bias.
That is just how they are categorized. Generally, if an attack is made towards a minority by a white person, it is considered to be racially motivated, when they don't know the true motivation. The same can be said for male towards female attacks and religious attacks. An attack is an attack, no matter how you categorize it. Unfortunately, people have to place motivation behind everything. I don't care why people do it. It doesn't really change what they did.
Hate crimes (also known as bias motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.[1]
Hate crime can take many forms. Incidents may involve physical assault, damage to property, bullying, harassment, verbal abuse or insults, or offensive graffiti or letters.[2]
We need to realize that the world is watching us closely right now. If we want to be influential in the world we need to understand that the way we practice Democracy is being judged. Being critical of our government is healthy but calling for the death of one of its citizens is criminal and irresponsible. Earning the rights we have should be second nature. The TRUTH is that these are 2 good men running to lead the greatest country in the world. Grow up, make an educated decision and Vote.
I would like to know how the two gentlemen that put the Palin/McCain display on their house would feel if their neighbors put 2 gay guys hanging and on fire on their house?
If you agree with Obama, you are incredibly naive, incredibly stupid, OR, you know EXACTLY what he's up to, you are a radical leftist like him, and you can't wait for him to destroy America. Heatsketch
LOL no that was NOT a republican household . that hung it . yeah him and his Boyfriend committed a hate crime against women. same as if i hung Barry up on my banister or a couple of maniquins dressed in SM gear and leather.
Im not saying that its right to hang someones effigy with a noose around the neck, but cant you see the historical connotations of hanging a black man from a tree? That makes me think of the Jenna librarian who couldnt see anything racist with hanging nooses off a tree.
Theres so many race/anti-"left" baiting these days is for all i know, these 2 guys in the news report are hardcore republicans pushing hot button issues. Havent you learned yet?
If people can hang up Palin and McCain in a holloween decoration, then we should be able to hang up Obama and Biden. People like you make this election about race. You also need to take a look into history. More suffering came from other ethnic backgrounds than from African-Americans. There is just so much focus on African-American history, so people believe that they are the only group that suffered.
The same could be said about the home that hung up Obama. What if they're just a democratic house hold "who did this as a bait story?" I can't make up my mind if you're just ignorant or showing some sort of bias towards Obama.
Thanks Mary!
The double standard hypocrisy is staggering!
Thanks for being a rational voice in this poisonous PC climate!
