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.

hush maybaby…half black and white it doesn’t matter he will still be considered black—-as if you can’t already tell by the racial slurs and out takes he probably has had some conflict with this in the past no different than any other BLACK person i will agree he is a positvie individual–but i also respect that he is a black intelligent man for change–regardless of how people want to x out color we can’t he is black and reality is we may have our first BLACK president which is a huge accomplishment. no disrespect may baby but its ok to take pride in being black.
To the Republican—Learn how to spell Piñata right you A**hole! get off you serve no purpose here
David, you order be shame of yourself! talking about how white folk’s helped black people through out history….when the truth of the matter is, white folks
stole everything they have or own….you need to go back into your history…African the ones who were kings and queens…bad enough they stole our history and refuse to let our children learn their real history in school…why you think this country is in an uproar? it’s time to take back what’s rightfully ours! read your bible, who do you think God is talking about? white folks stole all their lives…now it’s time for a change….it’s not up to Man, watch how God turn it around , the way he attended for it to be….it’s not up to the white man….it’s in God’s hand….OBAMA is a blessing to all race….what’s wrong with a man having a dream to make this world a better place? I hope people will see now that we are in the last days, and hate crime will rise even more….I pray for all my brother and sister’s to stay strong and never give up on the dream….that one day we will all be free…meaning same rights as your other brother’s and sister’s….UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL…..
Black, white, yellow, orange ,blue we are all equals and human beings. People from either race have the right to be mad and express themselves on issues that touch them and theur race. So if white people are mad that Senator Obama is getting all this attention well then you have that right. But remember that this is a change in the history of the U.S.A. Let those touched by this express their feelings. And as for the black people, racism and hatred will always be around but lets not fall to the level of these people and answer them back with other racist comments. White people helped blacks , blacks helped white , orange helped reds. Whatever race you are don`t let these politics bring out the worst of us. If Obama wins then we have a change but perhaps in 4 or 8 years we’ll have another white man ruling. Like that the white people that hate Obama can be pleased. And if Senator McCain wins its alright w`’ll just deal with more Bush years.
Stay Strong.
OBAMA LEAD CONTINUE TO PRAY AND GIVE DONATION.
MC CAIN DESPERATE .BUT HE FORGET ALL OF THEM PLEGE ON THE SAME FLAG.
HE KEEP CALL RACISEM, BUT AT THE END THEY WILL HAVE TO UNIFIED. THEM MC. STOP YOUR CHIET TO AGAINST BLACK.AND BLACK MC.CAIN PLAN TO CHEAT…..BE CAREFUL TALKING ABOUT THE RACE IS CLOSE THE RACE IS NOT CLOSE POLL NEVE LIE. OBAMA AHEAD AND WILL BE .CONTINUE VOTE OBAMA 2008AND SAID IT LOUD I’AM BLACK AND I’AM PROUD. OBAMA 2008 NO MC. CAIN .NO PALIN.OBAMA WILL MAKE JUSTICE FOR ALL
TO THE REPUBLICAN,
THANKS FOR SHOWING US HOW GROW FOLKS LEARN LITTLE KID TO BE
RACIEST….DON’T FEEL BAD IF THEY STOP FOR A SECOND TO EAT THE CANDY…. MAYBE ALL THAT SUGAR WILL MAKE THEM TURN AROUND AND BEAT YOUR A—
It is wrong for both Obama and Palins images to be hung in effigy. Besides candidates for the most important offices in this country, they are both parents with young children. If Obama and Palins children see this it would frighten them. Adults really need to think before they act so stupid.
Reppin’ the Tuck and OBAMA~~white girl style~~
People, People, People, black, white, brown, yellow, red, it doesn’t make a difference what color you are. You all really should proofread your comments. Your true ignorance show when you sound dumb making your comments. And for those of you who text, please this is not a phone, make sense in what you comment on. Daniel and Republican both of you are idiots. Obama will win the election and God will protect his followers.

I can’t believe all the silliness from both races on this site. First of all, it isn’t UK’s fault that this happened. There are Ignorant people in the world and obviously there were a couple of them on that campus that day. There were also a few who participated in the Palin Incendent. Both were in poor taste no matter why they were done. Ky is not just ignorant rednecks and hicks, I know… I live in KY. I am to the point that I don’t care who wins. I understand that people would love to see a black president and I think that it’s great but, that’s not a reason to vote for him. Also, he isn’t “BLACK” he is bi-racial and one of his parents are white. He should be a good person, role model and leader… that is what is most important, not the color of his skin. When he talks about change, I’m sure he is speaking of more than skin color also. I would be proud to have his role as a black person but, I wouldn’t want to win just because, I have black heritage. I feel like we are in the 60’s and race is the basis for everything in this election and it shouldn’t be. I know people who normally vote republican and have all their lives but, because, he is a black man we are voting for him. Being black won’t make you a better leader for black people or being white won’t make you a better leader to white people. Wake up America and stop behaving like elementary school kids and arguing stupid reasoning on everything. I think it’s just crazy!
All I can say is that it’s really a cruel cold-hearted world in which we are living in, and Yes, Things have GOT to change.The major question Bobby Valentino asked accoring to his album “Come With Me” is “What’s Goin On?” The answer to that question is this cruel screwed-up world!! The question is this: Why cook up some dirt on Obama as a deadly threat? My point is: If any heartless hypocrite want to cook up assassination plot on someone who is planning to a seat of the President’s Chair, that person could’ve come up with a plot to get rid of George Bush, for while we care. All I know is that Obama got my 100% vote. No matter who said so!
Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE EVERYONE GO OUT AND VOTE AND SHOW THESE PEOPLE WHAT WE AS BLACK AMERCIANS ARE REALLY MADE OF AND NOT THESE NEGATIVE STREOTYPES THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE US OUT TO BE OUR ANCESTORS HELP BUILD THIS GREAT COUNTRY WITH THEIR BLOOD ,SWEAT AND TEARS WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THIS NATION’S HISTORY, WE ARE AMAZING PEOPLE AND OBAMA IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT. SO LET SSHOW THE WORLD WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO HOLD DOWN FOR SO LONG(300+YEARS) TRUE GREATNESS
We have been dealing with this kind of stuff since slavery. Believe me, we are not surprised. What I found different was when a white man had a dummy that looked like PALIN hanging by it’s neck in front of his house. This is just the beginning…..SICK and DERANGED MINDS are lurking around out there and being that it happens to be the month of halloween, it will be the the explanation….What will it be after halloween?
I wonder if anyone realy cares about what this country is really going through. What will the children of our future have to deal with. It just keep getting worse. People teach your children well, and pray for the best. We are living in a big mess right now. Hoping for a Change …and not short change. GOD BLESS OBAMA and his family. GOD BLESS US ALL.
this is some raceist stuff and i dont like it but guess what and when he win i yall should laugh in there da*n faces
Usually I don’t like to respond on these forums but I just can’t help myself this time. Many of the comments tend to anger me bcoz they can be just downright ignorant…however, the most ignorant one that I’ve read so far (put aside the ones that are racists, derogatory or just plain ignorant) is the one by someone on this forum named JW!!
(”Remember Obama is still under question by a court to produce a Real birth cetificate, inwhich he has not done yet.”Newsmax.com”)
This is the most ignorant piece of crap that Newsmax.com has ever put forth. My God people, are you kidding me? U are trying absolutely EVERYTHING to stop this decent man from getting in the whitehouse. ARe you THAT afraid of a black man being in charge? If the U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT was unsure in ANY way of his citizenship, he woud NOT have been permitted to even announce in the beginning that he was running for president. The govermnemt would have stopped it before it started. You know, I respect Obama’s campaign bcoz the only negativity that they have put out against McCain is stuff related to the government that he ACTUALLY did and nothing in his personal or past personal life. He said that he wasn’t going to do that and he DIDN’T! Are you really that ignorant not to realize that there are LOADS of NEGATIVE and REALLY Questionable things that McCain has done that Obama can really mess him up with…but he is dignified enough not to. McCain on the other hand is resorting to absolute nastiness and SOME not all but SOME of the people who follow him are pure racists. I follow Obama’s views because he has great views and ideas about how to move this country forward in a positive way for EVERYONE, not just us black people, but EVERYONE and not because he’s African American. I’ll be glad when you hateful racist people answer to GOD.
wow..those poor guys,many people talked about this when we chat online on tall dating site http://Tallmingle.com where has many humor guys and fashion girls,even hot models.
Hey a lot of Rednecks are for Obama – so let’s not put them down and start stereotyping them – as racist people do us. This is probably the work of one or two Racist IDIOTs out there. These few incidents are meant to instill fear into us – but it’s not work. There is no way in the world – Black people are going backwards. In other words – we are well aware that it is 2008, not 1938 – so we WONT be ruled by FEAR anymore. The more racist BS that goes on out here TODAY, the more the Black race unites and grows stronger. No matter what anyone does – they can’t take away the 700,000 new voters that have joined in the race. And those 700,000 will be voting for here and now – so they better get used to change. Whether with Obama or not – the change has already been made. God Bless US
