Obama Image Found Hanging on Kentucky Campus

Obama image found hanging on Kentucky campus

. Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hanged a life-sized stuffed doll of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus (the bottom of the display is pictured). The Obama likeness was found hanging from a tree on campus Wednesday morning, college spokesman Carl Nathe said. Police immediately took it down. School President Lee Todd says that he plans to personally apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the university and that he is “personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode.” It’s the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. Earlier this week, George Fox University in Oregon said it was punishing four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree. Obama wasn’t the only victim of such pranks. Secret Service agents recently visited a California home where a mannequin of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hangs from a noose. The display also features John McCain surrounded by fake flames coming out of the bungalow’s chimney. Deputy Special Agent in Charge Wayne Williams told The Associated Press that so far that incident seems to be a harmless Halloween display. He said they are not treating it as a threat.

Interesting that the Palin effigy was considered just a “Halloween prank”, and the Barack Hussein Obama effigies are considered racist.

It is my turn to hang a nig doll next!!! Good work guys to who ever didi that.



MRS JONES Said on

Daniel, you are so ignorant!!! BET…um duh..Black Entertainment Television. If you choose not to be open minded and read what others have to say, then get off of BET!!!

I wont even get into how stupid you sound, but I will come back with this!!!

GO OBAMA!!!
He’s intelligent! He’s delligent when he speaks, he listens, he understands the American Peoples issues!! He is willing to clean up this mess that we have been living in for the past 8 years. So sad that he has to clean up the mess that has been lingering, but somebody has to do it….and who better fit the bill? Barack Obama!! He has made history itself by being a black male and he got my vote all the way!! My vote will count and I will utilize my right!! Maybe he can make a difference, we haven’t seen the light since Clinton!! Bill Clinton that is!! I’m ready for a change and I’m proud of him whether he makes it or not!! God Bless him and God Bless America!!!
Dear Lord please watch out for our country, please bless us with unity and compassion and with a leader that is looking out for the betterment of the lower class and middle class people……

Obama is half white and half black. Why do we consider him just black. No fair to him huh. He probably had to deal with this type of judgement all his life. Being put on one side or the other with his race. He is an individual and no matter the color he wants to make a positive change that is long over due. Has it ever been this involved before to where people are speaking out so much and there’s so much drama?? Everyone should be this involved in every election and not just because its a (so called black or white man running), people feel like they have to take sides. Calm down and make your opionions show in your vote on November 4th!

GOD already knows what will happen before it happens. Hope that whoever you choose as President puts GOD first in there life and it will all be ok!!!



Dale Said on

You know I will be glad when this election is over, because this racism issue is getting out of control. The true colors are really showing, so to GOd be the glory whomever he wants there will be there. Already planned destiny for the candidate. So please stop with the racial comments , because no matter what we will never change racism. But Daniel, I don’t know what your problem is. Don’t act like racism isn’t here, and if you are a caucasian. This is a sensitive issue to you, and you are worried about this African American getting into office. If you are a black man, I feel sorry for you, because you can’t see the forest for the trees.



Kiara Said on

Thank you! Yes, I think it was wrong for them to hang a stuffed doll with Barack Obama’s likeness. But it was also wrong for people to do the same with a stuffed doll of Sarah Palin’s likness. As black people, we want to be treated with the same respect as anyone else (especially white people). But we can’t have double standards with a incident as this. It’s wrong. Completely and totally wrong!!!

Remember, November 4th…….. VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO JW- THERE ARE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S BLACK….MY GRANDPARENTS ARE VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THERE REASON IS BECAUSE AT ONE TIME THEY WERE’T ABLE TO VOTE DUE TO TESTS AND ABUSE AT THE POLLS DURING THE MOVEMENT…NOW TO FINALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS THE REAL DEAL AND HE IS THE SAME COLOR OF A NATIONALITY THAT WAS THOUGHT OF AS PROPERTY..DID YOU KNOW THAT AT ONE TIME THE OTHER NATIONALITIES WHERE MADE CITIZENS AFRICAN AMERICANS WERENT’ DECLARED CITIZENS,AND WE BUILT THIS COUNTRY FROM SCRATCH, THE THINGS THEY WENT THROUGH THEN, I THINK THEY DESERVE TO SEE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN IN OFFICE WHO ACTUALLLY CARES ABOUT EVERYONE..INSTEAD OF AND IDIOT WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIS WALLET.

DANIEL- I KNOW IT MUST BE SCARY FOR YOU AND OTHER “AMERICANS” LIKE YOU WHO MUST BE SCARED SHITLESS RIGHT NOW.. AFTER ALL THE PERSECUTION AND STRUGGLES THAT YOUR ANCESTORS, FOREFATHERS, HAVE DONE TO AFRICAN AMERICANS OVER THE COURSE OF 2 CENTURIES, YOU’RE WORRIED WE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT TO YOU… (SLAVERY, CIVIL WAR, CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, BLACK WALL STREET, ASSASSINATIONS, HURRICANE KATRINA, JENA 6 AND NOW OBAMA) FORTUNATELY FOR YOU NOT ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE WHAT YOUR PEOPLE CALLED AS “NIGGERS” THIS NATIONALITY HAS ENDURED A $$*? LOT MORE THAN ANY OTHER IN THIS COUNTRY…SO BY ALL RIGHTS AND REASONS A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN FOR THAT MATTER MIGHT ACTUALLY DESERVE TO RULE…HOWEVER,, THIS ELECTION IS LIFE CHANGING FOR EVERYONE NOT JUST AFRICAN AMERICANS SO AS MUCH AS I KNOW YOUR SCARED SHITLESS, LET ME PUT YOUR MIND AT REST…OBAMA IS NOT NAT TURNER OR MALCOLM X HE DOESN’T SEE THE WHITEMAN AS BEING THE ENEMY OTHER WISE JOE BIDEN WOULDN’T BE A RUNNING MATE…AND SOMEONE LIKE JESSE JACKSON WOULD BE FOR V.P.

ITS TIME TO LET GO…CAUCASIANS AND MEN ARE NOT THE ONLY WAYS CAPABLE AND CULPABLE ENOUGH TO RUN THIS COUNTRY… BUSH PROVED THAT…OTHER BLACKS NOT LIKE MY GRANDPARENTS ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S A MUCH BETTER CANDIDATE THAN THE IDIOT IN OFFICE NOW AND THE JACK ASS AND IT’S PARTNER TRYING TO GET IN NEXT YEAR… SO RELAX LET THE CHANGE HAPPEN.. I PROMISE IT WON’T HURT.

Oh DANIEL boy, the whites, the whites are calling, from trailor to trailor and down the mountain side! First of all devil, the people that hung that image of Palin were not black, idiot( Entertainment News)! Its your people that are showing thier true colors. Black people are reacting to 400 years of hate directed at them from devils who dont even no why they hate black people! Its your nature to falsely claim superiority and commiting acts of evil to justify and reinforce the satanic mind of white supremacy! This, the world of non whites have seen everywhere the devil has gone! From the African to the Aztec, murder, disease, theft ,and bigotry have followed you out of the caves and hillsides of Europe! Now you devils are scared because your white leadership has been evil, corrupt, and racist! You fear that a black president will inspire the masses of blacks to achieve what the devil told them they could never achieve! You know that Obama can do no worse than all the evil white devil presidents in Amerikkka’s past! Yes, a blackman will show the so called qualified devils how to work for the people instead of the greedy, rich, white elite. I been warning black people for years on just who thier open enemies are! This election will bring forth open confessions of white supremacy that can only be rivaled by the civil rights movement of the 60’s. The devil always shows his face when the blackman tries to enjoy the Amerikkkan dream! Non of you devils truly want for US what you have for yourself! If all men were truly created equal in the eyes of the white devils, your history and accomplishments would not be soaked in the blood of the black, brown, yellow and red man! But you already know that dont you? Wether you freely admitt it or not, you know it to be the truth and YOU hate it! The truth is too much for the devil! Its like taking a peek into hell for the whiteman to look at his deeds! They will fight God Himself before they acknowlegde and atone for all the worldwide evil committed against non whites! So when you ask yourself, “why would a black person want to hang a devil?” A better question would be, “why wouldnt they?” Any of you devils want a taste of Al Hashim (the crusher), then bring it on! The teachings of my Master can not be defeated! Black Power!

stop hating ….GO OBAMA!!



P.J. Said on

Hanging ANYONE in effigy is not only hateful… it is absolutely unacceptable and should not be tolerated by anyone.
As much as I oppose Obama (who is an Uncle Tom for Planned Parenthood , a houseboy for the DNC and a man who will not advance any cause that is not politically correct or to his personal advantage), hanging his image is both criminal an act of inciting real trouble for everyone.
As much outrage as this has rightfully caused, my question is what about the hanging of that Palin image? Where is the outrage???

MIP Said on

WOW… This one really disturbs me… I”m white and pissed that it seems secret service agents were called out to investigate Palin hanging from a tree but it seems that things were only handled on a local level in Kentucky and Oregon regarding Obama hanging from a tree. Why wasn’t secret service involved in the Obama incidents… we’ve come a long way but this country is still f””cked up.



seschris Said on

jw,

“Newsmax.com” is a conservative political organization founded by journalist Christopher W. Ruddy and supported by a group of conservative investorss (REPUBLICANS) . Therefore jw everything on that website is anti-Obama and outright lies, half-truths and intentional mistatements. If Senator Obama were not a US citizen he would not have been eligible to president. I’m sure he was properly vetted unlike that Palin woman.
