OBAMA HUNG IN EFFIGY
by an ignorant, racist, bad spelling Freeper (are there any other kind?)

A local station runs a disturbing story about a Ohio resident named Mike Lunsford who has hung an effigy of Barack Obama in his front yard. Lunsford freely admits that he is against Obama because of his race.

Watch the video below:

obliging him without ceding the presidency of the rest of the country to them. The Neocons seem to be working on that very busily.

6. Not only did the fucker....
...hang that piece of shit in his yard, he painted a Jewish star on the top of its head.

Would anybody mind if I got a Sarah Pornstar blow up doll and positioned it in the middle of a gang bang?

11. The worst of America is on display right now. Embarrassing and disappointing.
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 05:30 PM by Tatiana
What would make someone do such a thing? And why doesn't he feel there will be any consequences for his actions?

THIS is the pro-America McPalin talks about?

They can keep it. Or better yet, LEAVE. Let's send them on a one-way ticket to Russia where they can practice their unconstitutional brand of Americanism.

15. Because he thinks his collection of....
...military weapons will keep him safe. Of course, he's probably a fucking fat ass who'll piss and shit in his cowardly pants the second he sees local law enforcement stride up to his door.

27. I couldn't have better said it myself.
What Palin and McCain is doing is desensitizing their followers against people of color. It's all about a lack of empathy for the suffering of others outside their race. They don't give a damn that these actions have consequences.

Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 06:14 PM by rebel with a cause
things like this does not surprise me or even worry me. These people exist. They always have. We just don't always see them, which reminds me of an incident that happened years ago. When I lived in my old home town, we had racial slurs written on the side of our house and we never knew who did it, but it was there just the same. I wish I had hope that things had changed or would change, but I don't any more. I think the most we can hope for is that we make them ashamed to show their ugly hatred because society will not stand for it. But as long as there are campaigns and people like mccain/palin these types of things will be encouraged and we will suffer the consequences for years to come. You know, I try not to hate, and I don't hate this idiot because he is just that, an unimportant idiot. But it is getting harder and harder not to hate those people in power who use these idiot's hate and ignorance for their own ambitious ventures.

If mccain/palin cheat and steal this election I will be sad for all of those I leave behind, but I will be happy to leave this old world behind. :cry:

32. The KKK profile is anything that is not white anglo saxon protestant.
(WASP) That includes Catholics, Italians, Jews, Latinos, Blacks, Asian, American Indian and others that I can't even remember now.

I have been called a cracker, honky, a "N" lover and other terms and I just smile. But you call me a WASP and my blood boils. Those are fighting words!

You can't put your head in the sand and ignore instances like the one mentioned in the OP. I wonder how anyone could.

23. Yeah... I kinda left a message on the Secret Service answering machine about this already
I called up the Dayton Ohio field office but the Secret Service isn't open on the weekends so had to leave a message with the streets listed, the guy's name and the description of the situation.

I'm a bit weirded out though as I don't like bringing myself to the attention of a federal agency because it's just creepy to think about in this Big Brother environment that the Bush administration has fostered. But Obama's safety is far more important to me than that.

25. Sarah Palin is at least partially to blame for this.
I knew this would happen as the election drew close---but this early....we can thank Palin for it.

34. Election day will be fun.
White people were worried about African Americans rioting if Barack is elected. I am worried about the safety of African Americans when the white supremest riot when Barack is elected. Everyone here that are not white, please vote early and stay close on that day just to be safe. My son will be working until early morning on election night, covering it, and I will be worried to death all that night. My daughter may be in Missouri volunteering and that scares me to death. Ahhhhhhhh, got to get my paranoia under control. :tinfoilhat:
