Obama effigy

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.

UM UM UM! I dont know where to start. For one some of u people are so ignorant it is crazy as i read some of these blogs I ask myself “am I being punked” im still waiting for aston to jump out and say “gotcha”. there is no way in H%&LL that u can compare a white doll hanging from a chimeny to a black man hanging from a tree or a planned assasination. that sarah palin dummy was a joke the barack prank was real and Ignorant. I agree with alot of people this is 2008 and there should not be racisim like it was 50 years ago.
Im voting for OBAMA cause this country needs a change and I think he will lead us to great things and he is gonna change history, not lead us into another war,recession or tragedy. to whoever made the statement that whites were being hung way before blacks or whatever u were tryna say shut up! i am so mad right know i cant see. yeah whites were being hung centuries ago for having different beliefs but that by no means equals up to the destruction our race has indured for centuries and still is. at least those lynchings stopped, we still have some going on in da 08. We have been beatin,raped,enslaved,murdered,hung,cut,bombed,sprayed with hoses,burnt up,shot,stabbed,put down,denied civil rights,fair trails,education,jobs,housing,and degraded to nothin for centuries and decades and it will never stop ever. And u have the nerve to compare and make light of our struggle to a few hundred whites being hung and burnt for there beliefs, try a few million blacks being murdered and tortured not for their beliefs but just for being black. u cant! Honey you have to white and insensitive to make that comment.The next time you go to the mall into a upscale store take one of your black friends and watch very closely how the two of you are treated and think about that experiance the next time u want to comment about racisim. im sorry to say this but white people will never get it.
YES WE CAN! GO OBAMA!
GO PHILLIES!
peace

Tineka Said on

yeah crazy stuff like that has been going on here on the eastern shore of Maryland where I live. There are some pretty big billboards along the highways that say Eastern Shore for Barack Obama. about a week after they started going up I noticed that there were bullet holes in Sen. Obama’s face. I made mention of it to my co-workers and they said the same things were happening in the areas where they live. Today I drove by the sign i see on my way to work and someone had spray painted over the billboard and wrote “NOT” at the bottom

i think that people are absolutly rediculous. someone wants to chane the world. and there wrong for that because they are black. come on now its 2008. seriously. this has got to end. otherwise nothing will ever change.



Jelly Said on

I think what these people are doing (both the Obama and Palin incident) are ignorant and disrespectful to both presidential parties. I myself personally will not vote for Mcain and Palin on election day, but I still yhink it is wrong for someone to pull such an act of putting and replica of her on a noose.



Curtis D. Washington Said on

Hey yall act like this @~$# is new!!!!! Racism is always here and will always be. So who cares!!!!!!!!! Change is here!!!!!!!!! So just enjoy it and let the haters be.



fardxx Said on

Lakiesha- The devil most certainly has had his chance to lead Amerikkka and the world to the right path, but they have chosen evil over righteousness! They have chosen the dark over the light! His nature will not allow him to use power for the benefit of all races. Instead, he has used his power and influence to surpress the darker nations of the earth and destroy the mind of the blackman and woman in Amerikkka and abroad! God is fed up with his filth and wickedness! Amen! Black Power!

HERE’S ANOTHER COMMENT. NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE DO OR SAY, OBAMA IS THE SH**. OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA……..

This world is nothing but disgrace to me. Live your lives and don’t worry about others. I sit at home and wonder why people act this way, it brings others down and this is where the hatred starts. Why don’t hatred people leave others alone and stick with your own kind. Maybe then you can be hatred together. Keep it to yourself. I belive that Obama can make a change in this world and those of you who can’t get out of the racism need to grow up and realize that it will never go away as long as we are on this earth. It does not matter what color you are, its whats inside. My fiance is black and I am white and I love him to death. He is a normal human being and will help anyone who is in need. I have no regrets, I just wish others could see the inside and not the outside.
