A Tale Of Two Effigies
Jan 4, 2010 Political
Someone hanged Barack Obama in effigy in Plains Georgia, the town from which another clueless failed Democrat hailed. Jimmah Carter is pretty popular in Plains (as I imagine is Obama) and some miscreant hanged Obama in effigy. Some photos were snapped and then the little black doll with his name was removed. Most folks never knew it happened but the Secret Service is investigating the issue.
Someone hangs Obama in effigy and the Secret Service (SS) is investigating? This is not the first time and leader was hanged in effigy and I think the place where it was hung shows that it is symbolic of a failed president rather than a threat.
I saw these things all the time when I was in DC with the Gathering of Eagles. Leftists walked down the street with little George Bush dolls hanging in effigy. It is all part of the process and I sure don’t recall the Secret Service investigating.
I also recall that when Sarah Palin was hanged in effigy it was deemed not to be a hate crime. The police said that it was near Halloween and that people had a right to do it and all so it was no big deal. It really wasn’t a big deal except if it had been a Democrat (the referenced article even mentions that an Obama effigy would have to be investigated separately based on historical references). And now we see this is the case.
How long will it take the race baiters to claim it is racist because it involves the image of a black man and a noose?
No, someone hanged Obama in effigy to express dissatisfaction with him or his policies or both. Given that he has ticked off his base it could just as well be one of them.
No matter who it is the person or persons have rights to free expression and the Secret Service should spend its time on more constructive things like figuring out how to keep uninvited guests from entering the White House.
Some leaders don’t hang in effigy. Just ask Saddam Hussein. Oops, too late…

Obama Hangs In Effigy, Racism Cited
Oct 28, 2008 Political
OK, as far as I know there is no effigy of Obama hanging in the US. I would not be surprised if there were one or two but, if they exist, they must be pretty secret because if they were discovered we would have people screaming racism, Jackson and Sharpton would be marching and inciting riots and the media would have a field day discussing how racist someone must have been while demanding the justice department look into this hate crime. My friend Adam would tell me that I do not understand the history of racism and the symbolism of a noose (but I am expected to accept a burning Flag as an expression of speech regardless of the symbolism of that Flag). Even when I said it is near Halloween and it is only a decoration the cries of racism would be heard from afar.
However, we have an effigy of Sarah Palin hanging from a noose at someone’s home in California. The home even has an image of John McCain rising from a flaming chimney. People in buses ask the drivers to stop so they can get pictures and people who view it have a laugh over it. Isn’t it strange how it is OK when it is a white person who happens to be Republican?
I mean, if an Obama were hanging in effigy I am certain that there would be calls for it to come down and for investigations of hate crimes.
I have no real problem with the display. It is Halloween and this is America. What I have a problem with is the obvious double standard that exists. I know, there has been no Obama effigy so how can I say there is a double standard. Jena Louisiana and Baltimore Maryland, two places where nooses were hung, neither of which was racially motivated (the one in Baltimore was a black guy upset about something) but this did not stop the NAACP from coming down hard and demanding investigations (MD) and the camera hogs, Jackson and Sharpton from entering to stir things up (LA).
I hope someone hangs an Obama effigy so we can see how people respond. I am willing to bet that they will not laugh about it and that buses will not stop to allow pictures. I’d hang it myself but I live in the sticks. More crickets than people would see it.
No, it would not be well received if the Messiah were to be displayed in such a manner. His disciples would be up in arms.
Everyone knows that The One gets hung from a Cross…
Oh, and the picture. It is the only Hussein I could find with a noose.
Al-Qaeda in America; The Enemy Within

This is a video of “peace” protesters. They are burning a US soldier in effigy and then one of them burns an American Flag. Notice how they act, notice what they chant and notice how they are dressed. Then ask yourself, is there any difference between these people and the enemy we are fighting? I think the answer is NO and this video also shows us that these people do not support the troops.
I wish I could have been there with a fire hose on full blast and bounced these sorry excuses for human beings all over the ground while putting out the fire. Is it any wonder we question their patriotism? Why is it there is never a deranged driver in a big SUV when these guys are gathered. Death would be fitting for these scum sucking maggots.
The enemy within. These people should be among the first targets should we ever have civil discord in this country.
…against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
***This video is from a little over a year ago. It seems to depict how many of the so called anti war folks feel so I decided to put it up.
