Obama effigy hanged in Jimmy Carter's home town
 
Thats Nice.....Question will any Leaders on the right condem it, or will they condone it by being silent.

BBC News - Obama effigy hanged in Jimmy Carter's home town


The US Secret Service says it is investigating after an effigy of Barack Obama was found hanging in the home town of former President Jimmy Carter.

TV footage showed the doll hanging by a noose in front of a red, white and blue sign that reads "Plains, Georgia. Home of Jimmy Carter, our 39th President".

Witnesses said the effigy had President Obama's name on it.....

This is absolutely inexcuseable. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

Sadly, this isn't a new phenominon as an effigy of Sarah Palin was also found hung in October 2008.

Haters do these things, yes Palin was hung also not much noise over it though, a bunch of these people got together and made a Movie showing GW Bush being assassinated while he was still alive and while he was still serving as President it was a big hit among many of the left Wing "Bush Haters" not much noise over that one either.......It is also possible that a “hater” didn’t do it that has been done before and not to long ago in some College down there it’s possible that an “Obama Supporter” did it for “the effect” in other words “stir up some *****”

Clearly in this case there is a much greater chance that Obama's race was more of a factor than in Palin's. Unfortunately an incident like this only fuels racist charges anytime Obama is criticized on just about anything. I find it both interesting and disturbing though that the hate shown for a white conservative, can be so easily dismissed and even considered somewhat deserved. I doubt even the farthest left fringes would accept a Michael Steele hanging effigy for example. Whites have been a privileged lot in this country for a long time. That does not give excuse for a hanging effigy affirmative action type leveling of the racism playing field. If that’s where you’re coming from Harry then that notion does not deserve a “klever kommentary komrad” response.
