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.

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."

  • The fags sold this item on ebay for $2, 247.22 on 1/22/09.

  • WOW, why isn't that fucking racist??? If that was Barack Obama there would be no doubt that it was racist. Well I guess it is okay because it's only a white person hanging from a rope.

  • Fine, it's free speech. But then we have to say it's also OK to have left wing mock-ups hanging also.... tolerance goes both ways.

  • lol this just brings more attention to it,media epic fail

  • The homosexual man who spoke in this video pretty much contradicted himself. He said that if it would have been Obama people would have been outraged. Then he said it was a lot more offensive to have a black man hanging then a white woman. Umm HELLO???? Are you telling me that women never went through suffrage? Sure she is a white woman but Obama is a black MAN!! So both Obama and Palin are minorites!!!

  • Just hate that's all it was imagine if that was Obama

  • @AntiEtc Last year I took a poster board and drew a caricature of Chad Michael Morrisette and posted her name under it with a bullseye. I had trick or treaters throw raw eggs and the most disgusting stuff they could find at Morrisette and gave extra candy to those with sniper skills. Kids and adults loved it tho they didnt know who Chad was! I combined entertainment and artistic talent.

  • if this bothers you alot you obviosly dont really have a life.I mean its a joke and yeah if they hung obama it would of been a big deal because hes black and because he is just awesome.I love how obama is so normal and how he pays with cash and how his wife isnt a robot

  • @tateresa123 You are so ignorant you cannot even spell faggot right. Pathetic.

  • LOL!!! It's not a big deal.

    If they want to put something up on a noose to be spooky, and express their hate for palin at the same time, then shut the fuck up about it.

    This really isn't even a worthy discussion for a debate. Pathetic.

  • Sarah Palin promotes hate and discrimination with her STRONG anti equality stance. She deserves all the hate she gets!

  • o shut up you homo phobe
