What if it were Obama in effigy?

Effigy of Sarah Palin hanging by a noose creates uproar in West Hollywood

There is barely any uproar at all here. What do you think the reaction would be if the effigy hanging by a noose were Obama, a black man, amidst all the Halloween decorations?

Yet another left-wing double standard.

Apples to oranges B23. The Hollywood incident is either a political statement or just good clean Halloween fun. So if a person hung Obama in effigy as a political statement or Halloween fun, what would be the reaction do you suppose?

ROTFLMAO!

BC: What if it were Obama in effigy?

B23: Here's Obama in effigy. Guy explains it's a political statememt

BC: Apples to oranges. The one in Hollywood was a political statement.

So
Figure hanging in effigy for political statement != Figure hanging in effigy for political statement

I see. LOL

Edit: No, I don't see a double-standard with the reaction.

I think that the Sarah Palin incident you are referring to, BC, is an outrage. I don't understand how people can think that kind of thing is humorous. That is definitely crossing the line, in my opinion. It would be crossing the line if it involved Obama as well.

Maybe lightning just struck. This is one area where you and I actually agree. LOL

I think women, by far, have been abused and murdered in numbers that far exceed that of black men vis a vis lynching.

The idea that someone would lynch Gov. Palin in effigy is extremely retarded. Extremely.



So, please... Spare me the racist routine... Women this very day are being murdered by the very thugs that the Left is attempting to embrace. It's sick.

In what way do you feel that the Left is attempting to embrace them?

If someone had done that to Barack Obama McCain would have gone to the home and asked them to remove it.

Obama doesn't have that kind of decency.

And yes, of course it would be racism and the entire country would be in an uproar. Liberal democrats are well known for their double-standards.
