Breaking News: Sarah Palin Effigy Taken Down

Hahahahaha!!! Love it! Love it! Love it!!!

Right on Follywood! You grew a spine after all?

Or right ON to those with SPINE speaking UP against the misogyny!!

NOBAMA NO WAY NEVERRRRRRR!!!

Vote against the HATE

VOTE MACK-N-Sarah!!

I really enjoyed the interview O’Reilly had with Dennis Miller last night. They were to go to that house on the 31st.

Miller said that if Obama was for real change he would have asked the home owner to take it down because it was offensive to him.

Now here’s real breaking news. The McCain campaign released a statement linking Obama to ACORN via testimony in FBI ongoing investigation…comes complete with a picture of Obama in an ACORN meeting…a meeting that he denied in front of 60 million viewers in the last debate.

Obama is nothing but Adolf Hitler with a new suit on. I pray every night that people will see the light and vote for McCain. A vote for Obama is a vote for the destruction of this country. God forbid Obama wins, we will have a 20 percent unemployment rate, the new great depression, and ACORN will be running the show. You all have 5 days to change things, REAL change, VOTE McCain/Palin

Miller also said that 0bama is really starting to creep him out – just in general – mostly from the stuff that’s been dripping out about barky.

He said, without saying it outright, that voters aren’t gonna vote for a guy who creeps them out, even a little bit.

============================================

You are so right. He’s OHitler. Shady, dangerous, criminal and SO bad for America. I truly believe McCain will win, but, sadly I have 100% decided to move to Costa Rica if OHitler wins. I love this country too much to watch complete imbeciles like Pelosi, Reid and OHitler tear it down. Heartbreaking.

What is strange still, is that if he had done that with a likeness of Obama he would probably be talking through a lawyer right now.

Yes, he’s just like Hitler. Obama plans to march all of the jews into concentration camps, murder them with poison gas and then invade Europe.

You know, I can understand not liking the guy, but comparing him to Hitler really reflects badly on you.

Its about time this came down. Thank you to the neighbor that put up an effigy of Morrisette.

As Morrisette is gay, you think he would recognize a hate crime huh?

Wrong. There was a similar Obama effigy in Kansas, reported yesterday.

I still say…..this is nothing but a PC issue.

Bush effigies were horribly popular in LA last year.

They hung him, had him going up in flames, etc.

Nobody said a word.

I thought Sarah was particularly well done in this effigy. She was dressed nicely.

*haha

I do not agree with most of you on this one.

My opinion only.

This was a restriction in freedom of speech. I do not like that.

TRUE NOT TRUE- YOU DECIDE- FOX NEWS -TAPE – HANNITY-GRETA ?

Larry,

Release the whitey tape! Now! I think it’s time. Either Friday or Saturday. People need to know the truth about what Michelle said!!!!

it took a bunch of “Joe the Plumber”s to get it down. The city wasn’t doing SHIT. What a piss poor excuse for a human being this man is. And Obama didn’t say shit about it either, nor his campaign or supporters. They’re all a bunch of satanic kook morons.

God Bless American and God Bless John McCain and Sarah Palin

btw enjoyed your chat room yesterday New Hampster!

Thanks for letting us visit!

Like there was any doubt about his involvement with the group.

And one particularly enthusiastic West Hollywood resident actually dressed up another effigy that looked like Morrissette, and hung it from his car outside of Morrisette’s house.

Now that is street performance! Art with purpose.

Ya ever notice how many charismatic politicians/religious leaders turn out to be despots – tyrannical authoritarians with absolute power?

Obama raising money to fund presidential transition

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Obama campaign has opened a new fund-raising front, I’ve learned, creating a nonprofit entity to bankroll Barack Obama’s presidential transition operation, quietly in business for months.

The organization is called the “Obama Transition Project.” The money is being raised from individual donors — no Internet, direct mail or events — with a $5,000 donation cap. Under self-imposed rules, lobbyists will not be allowed to contribute.
…
Federal money kicks in to bankroll a transition–staff and offices, etc.–once there is a vice president-elect.

The money Obama is raising is pay to for costs to deal with a potential transition during the ongoing campaign.
blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/10/obama_raising_money_to_fund_pr.html

This is now the fourth fundraising arm of the obama camapaign. Yes, in addition to obama’s campaign fundraising arm he has 3 more. The three allow mega-donors to go way over the $4,600 limit. One of the fundraising arms can accept donations over $28,000. It’s pay to play. In Chicago obama went through his middle man rezko. Looks like for his national campaign he has decided to cut out the middle man and rake in all the cash for himself.

The obots are strong. humour: we’ll have to depend on yoda to bring things through, and not let the reckless youth have their own way. defend the positive side of the force. dont join Sith obama.

this link does not work?

I just don’t believe these people. Why is it always 24 hours. Why is it not today. It is just a HOAX.

While the actions may not be repeated in sacrosanct precision, the behaviors between Obama and Hitler are quite striking.

Messages of depression and oppression and only Obama/Hitler has the answer.

The hand signal is a classic.

The cult of personality.

The notion of a private police force – in Hitler’s time known as the brownshirts.

Fascism that turned to Totalitarianism and the possibility of that with Obama.

Only decades of time really separate the two.

do you agree w us on ANYTHING?? I think you are mistaking this blog for Huffpoop. I don’t appreciate you coming on here and defending this type of behavior.

Yes it is hate crime. But it’s the rule of the day for the Obama people.

surprised? certainly NOT

There is nothing to worry about just keep up the work on getting John McCain elected and make sure you go out and vote and take as many people as possible with you.

Here is some good news for you.

http://pumapac.org/2008/10/30/enthusiasm-deficit/

that’s exactly why he got away with it for as long as he did!

This is a new way to spread the wealth?

OH my did any of you hear what Bill said about Bills speech with OBama yesterday on Economics.
Turns out Obama had to call Many Many Many people before he could make any decisions about the economy.
Ouch this is the guy we ares supposed trust with the economy.

Imagine – these two Hotos decided to hang in effigy the mother of a special needs child.

I think the IDEA of being POLITICALLY CORRECT

DIED THIS YEAR!!!

I personally will NEVER worry about it again!

Busted… Obama Lied About His ACORN Training Sessions

If Mac is bringing it up now we are seeing he saved it up.

You are so right. He’s OHitler. Shady, dangerous, criminal and SO bad for America. I truly believe McCain will win, but, sadly I have 100% decided to move to Costa Rica if OHitler wins. I love this country too much to watch complete imbeciles like Pelosi, Reid and OHitler tear it down. Heartbreaking.

================================================

The same “Change” crap is the same thing that Hitler said to thousands of young people in Berlin, it’s the same nonsense but in a new era. I don’t think I have ever hated a presidential candidate as much as I hate Barack Obama. It’s not that I hate him as a person, but I hate what he stands for. The fact that he has HORRIBLE HORRIBLE associations, the media won’t report it, he accepts fraudulent money from donors from the middle east, ACORN, etc, and the media says NOTHING, we have an LA Times tape showing Obama at a dinner for Rashid Khalidi(a KNOWN hater of Israel) and we have no idea what Obama said at that dinner, we know that he toasted him, but we have no idea what he said, I DEMAND to know what he said because if he wins, and then we see the tape, and it turns out that he said horrendous things about Israel, then what, its TOO DAMN LATE. You say that you will move to Costa Rica, I know for a fact many people are checking into properties in Alaska, why, because even though Alaska is still part of the United States its kinda cut off so Obama won’t be able to destroy it. My Mom says we should move back to Israel, I don’t think so because they will be going to war with Iran anyway, why leave one hellhole for another. Definitely don’t want to move to Canada, Australia is nice, but I don’t think I would enjoy living there much. Last night my Lakers played, and for the first time EVER I didn’t even care, I am just worried about this election, I don’t think I have ever been so scared for this country like I am right now. I am usually so enthusiastic about the new basketball season, and I just watched the game and didn’t even care(Yes of course was glad that they won) but I just didn’t care. Just pray for a miracle, we need it!!

Hate is a powerful substance. This type is normally brewed and bottled in the US. People collectively have to get a grip. They have to come together. There is too much raw emotion, too much hate. Amongst other things.

Tapes from long ago when Michelle was young is NOT as important to most people as you think.

What was striking?

Watching Obama put down Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail. That is his true opinion of a guy who dared to dream about owning his own business and who was thinking and asked a question.

THAT is relevant.

If Obama sitting in Wright’s church for 20 years did not scare people, then the ONLY conclusion is that people understand the pathway for AA politicians is often fraught with radicals. That’s the only people who seed their political ambitions.

They are saying to you, at this point, that old history is irrelevant.

McCain has wisely peppered his final days in this campaign with QUESTIONS to voters.

But he has not gone so far as to fall into the right-wing trap of suggesting that Obama is a complete liar.

To do so would be to demonize him. Obama cannot be demonized.

What the public HAS learned about Obama is that he is mostly well-intentioned. However, his tactics are suspect.

Coming out of the Bush years, where I think he also was well-intentioned, that scares people plenty enough.

The key to Obama is seeing his actions.

He’s very comfortable with lying. “Rezko..only 4 hours.”

He’s very comfortable with flip-flopping on issues.

He’s not good at taking hard stands. “not present”

He’s very into the old-style politics. “Send your money to me….(I’ll dole it out to others to ensure their loyalty.)

John McCain’s most important statement in the debate was when he challenged Obama…..When have you EVER bucked your own party?

There was a deafening silence.

and (lmao) I think BILL said all that to make people feel less threatened by BAmbi by thinking he’ll be using the CLINTON ideas through out his presidency so it’s SAFE to vote for him!!

BALDERDASH the instant Bambi wins (which he never will) but IF HE DID

Immediately after that he would toss both Clintons under the bus along with their good moderate ideas. (jmo)

I emailed the mayor of West Hollywood. And I’m glad he went to his house and applied some pressure. Hate is Hate! And what Morrisette did was HATE. And “that one” should have come out and said how hurtful it is to see that image of a noose around anyone. It just shows he doesn’t respect women. Never has never will.

So what is your mental health diagnosis, AnninCA?

Here’s where liberals go off track. Perfect example.

Its bullshit and people should stop posting that nonsense.

Restriction in freedom of speech? That’s ridiculous. No one called for the government to intervene under penalty of law to remove the effigy. This is about common decency and respect that we as a community should expect and demand. I guess you think it is ok for the neighbor of an african american to burn a cross on his lawn with a sign that says “Youre Not Wanted Here N*****” and no one should be upset or call for it’s removal because it is “a restriction of freedom of speech”.

I understand. I think I’m a lot more liberal than most.

But I still say…..this was a PC issue blown way outta proportion.

Way ahead of you there, Kiddo. Welcome to the south side of Chicago where white guilt is mistaken for a shade of paint.

‘Hey, Terry, go by the Chinaman’s and ask if he’s got that white paint – #78 White Gilt – in the back of the shop. He’ll get the Guinea to drive up a pallet of the stuff for my friend here the the shine Fireman whose taking another Jewish Easter off again and moonlighting with the three Raw-Jaws from County Kerry.’

I agree with you. Except I hate him as a person too. Because these are the choices he’s made. This is his ides of March. He’s crossed his own Rubicon. He’s Faust – sold his soul to the devil. He deserves no consideration whatsoever. Along with Axelrod he’s the most evil person of our times. No competition.

AnninCA

Your really have a way to piss people off here TRUE.

if your so happy with this feel free to Go hang yourself outside by a rope but remember to shout it’s just a stunt and your doing it for Chad you feel his restriction in freedom of speech….

This should be fun!!! Send us a picture so we can post you around…. go on you like this kind of thing don’t let the moment pass u by….

What?

How ugly.

I just live in LA. I know West Hollywood.

Much ado about nuttin’, folks.

Move on.

Too bad the McCain campaign has not taken snippets of Obama and Biden sneering at Joe the Plumber for a campaign ad.

“restriction in freedom of speech” – are you kidding me?

It was A THREAT, no matter how “holloweeny” or comical anybody said it was supposed to be!

Remember a few years ago when nooses were being put on the doors of AA college professors? Ha ha ha ha – gee, wasn’t that funny? Soooooo humorous! Oh – maybe that was just a Halloween prank too, eh? NOT!

They were filthy, scary, criminal THREATS. A noose placed ANYWHERE, around ANYTHING (like dolls and mannequins and doorknobs), has meaning and history for every person in this country – and that meaning is THREAT. Period.

“Freedom of speech” does not include the right to THREATEN.

And one particularly enthusiastic West Hollywood resident actually dressed up another effigy that looked like Morrissette, and hung it from his car outside of Morrisette’s house. Now he knows what Sarah Palin must have felt when she saw that image on the news

Love that! What goes around comes around.

OT: But if this is true, then it is very good news for McCain.http://radarsite.blogspot.com/2008/10/breaking-first-exit-poll-of-actual.html

Saw this on realclear politics.com

I’ll bet the sets and special effects for Obama’s Transition are going to be fabulous.

Can someone do this and post to YouTube?

I’m not so good with it and it would take me too long.

Oh baloney….

OT: Koolaid drinkers who use “factcheck.org” to “prove” Obama was born in the US.

Jason you are no student of history.

If you had asked the Germans how it happened afterwards they wouldn’t have been able to tell you how they were so hypnotized/mesmerized by Hitler.

There were three things Hitler had going for him that are parallel to what is happening today.

1) The economy is Germany was really bad and people were scared (sound familiar?).
2) Hitler was a charismatic leader and a great orator (sound familiar?). People fainted at his speeches (sound familiar?) and lauded him for what a great speaker he was.
3) The youth movement (sound familiar?). Obama Hitler fired up the youth and made them feel important and made them part of his civilian military force, like Obama wants to do. They were his mini-Gestapo. His narcs.

Don’t ever think it can’t happen here because it can. We are seeing it with the violence and the hate that the Obama supporters are spewing at the Republicans this election cycle. We are seeing it when grown men beat women with election signs because they just don’t happen to agree that a person has a right to carry a sign. We see it in videos when people who love this country because of free speech try to carry McCain/Palin signs down the street in Manhattan and the hate from the Democrats pours forth. It is happening here and history does repeat itself if we are not careful.

If that was a Barky effigy hanging there, instead of Palin, it would have been off with their heads! Sick, Sick, Sick people in this world!!

Here’s the third punch: Obama accepted a bribe as a state senator when he arranged a grant for Yesse Yehudah so he could take a $10,000 cut
Posted by hillbuzz under Uncategorized

NOTE: The article below is from last year. It’s a story that was never picked up by the media (since when have they ever picked up anything about Obama?) and the Clinton campaign did not know what to do with this — people we’ve spoken to said that, in retrospect, they realize what a mistake this was because what Obama did here is actually a prosecutable crime. We were told, specifically, that the bribe Obama took as a state senator is the thing David Axelrod has lived in terror of this whole campaign — he has been praying this does not get out.

One reason this never came back to bite Obama is that the article below is overly long — and the part about the bribe is buried in the middle — it’s no coincidence this story appeared in the LA Times. The article’s author, Dan Morain, tried to bring this bribe up in the primaries, but never had any support in the media to go anywhere with it.

So, if someone stands in front of your house and with a bullhorn insults you as a woman can you say that’s freedom of speech? Hate is hate, there’s no justification for it.

Hanging someone in effigy: that’s a hate crime. It’s not freedom of speech.

Well of course, because that API thing is total bullshit.

Breaking: First exit poll of actual American votes from Israel shows huge win for McCain

http://radarsite.blogspot.com/2008/10/breaking-first-exit-poll-of-actual.html

“Within the last hour, the first exit poll of 817 Americans in Israel, who attended U.S. election voting events in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening to vote by absentee ballot, has been released. A startling 76 percent of those polled said that they had voted for John McCain. This contrasts sharply with pre-election polls of American Jews in the U.S., which indicate a strong preference for Obama. The exit poll findings of American voters in Israel are all the more surprising because less than one in four were registered Republicans, and 46% of registered Democrats living in Israel said they had crossed party lines to vote McCain. By contrast, the Republican crossover to Obama was minimal – just 2%. The votes are significant as almost half of the 42,000 registered U.S.voters living in Israel come from key swing states including Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the 2000 and 2004 elections, Israel had the third-largest group of American voters abroad, after Canada and Britain.

The exit poll was commissioned by Votefromisrael.org, an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting voter registration and participation amongst American citizens living in Israel.”

Jason – He’s JUST LIKE HITLER. Down to the Anti-Semitism. Guess that’s why we can’t get our hands on his backslapping tape with Khalidi and Ayers. He’s a scumbag. And with those friends he wouldn’t even get FBI Clearance. He’s the biggest POS to ever enter into American politics and one of these days, hopefully soon, it will ALL catch up to him. This is AMERICA. We don’t tolerate his terrorist sympathizing azz. PERIOD. And any IDIOT voting for this America hater should just move so WE don’t have to. This is the country my father fought for, as did our forefathers, and along come these complete idiots who think they can destroy everything America stands for and makes us unique. WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE IT.

Sarahcudda – Alaska is too close to OHitler for me. Costa Rica it is. Their government is based on our Constitution I hear. Since OHitler and Pelosi are wiping their ugly butts with our Constitution daily, and plan to flush it down the crapper, I will go somewhere that has SOME iota of respect for us. As for “hating” Obama? I do. I hate LIARS. I hate CRIMINALS. I hate RACISTS. I hate THIEVES. I hate SEXISTS. He’s all of those and worse. An America hating LIAR is trying to steal this country. I feel sick every single day about it. Not that I think he will win. But I am so tired of the idiots who are voting for him being uneducated trash.

So do you believe the story was made up to distract voters? I’m asking you you because your post shows supports of the facts.

You know AnninCA I have been defending some of your comments here, but have come to realize, particularly in this post, that you are here only as a paid Obama blog commentator/infiltrator, deliberately passing yourself off as someone who is an undecided voter or former Hillary supporter trying to give everyone a fair shake. This is not true. I would suggest that folks here not get caught responding to your commentary.

I agree. It’s true when we see it. Not before. This has been going on too long.

Larry doesn’t have the ‘whitey tape’. He never said he did. Get a clue.

IMPORTANT! PASS THIS AROUND. EMAIL IT. TALK IT. BLOG IT on McCain/Palin friendly sites.

We know how they did this with Hillary. Not only on every state’s primary but remember when all the MSM channels were saying that Hillary had conceded and states were voting? They suppressed the vote that day. It took them hours to come back out and say they were mistaken (Yeah, right). But even so, by then the damage had been done.

If you’re going to vote on Nov. 4th or working to get out the vote ANYWHERE, or just talking to people you know or meet, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM THIS:

How they will try and suppress the vote:

IGNORE THEM!

The key to the Democrat/media/left strategy is Republican vote suppression. If they can demoralize Republicans into staying home, they will win.

Stage 1 of that strategy is what we are witnessing now.

Stage 2 will take place on Election Day:

First, they will release early exit polls. These exit polls will be taken during the daytime, which means they will oversample women. These exit polls will also be taken primarily in areas where the pollster has easy and quick access to Starbucks.

Both of these will cause a massive oversampling of Democrats. This will show Obama with a commanding lead (just like it did for Kerry in 2004).

Second, they will try to call eastern states as early as they can, in the hopes that a sense of an Obama fait accompli will cause Republicans to stay home in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, etc.

So, if they cannot call Florida or Pennsylvania early, it will impede this nefarious strategy. And, of course, if McCain is ahead and/or wins these states, Obama has serious problems.

The big three, of course, are Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. McCain needs Ohio and Florida, and he is ahead in both in some recent polls (behind in others). If McCain can flip PA, Obama is in big trouble.

Good. Bullshit on either side is still bullshit.

Nope……a similar effigy of Obama popped up in Kansas.

Sorry, folks…..

But it hasn’t garnered the “expected” attention.

My point to all of you is you’d have to live here to get this.

West Hollywood is…well, the home of the “Doo-Dah” parade.

That’s an annual mockery of the Rose Bowl parade where there are completely political and goofy “entrants” annually.

This effigy is so not big news for us.

Maybe they obviously didn’t think about the NATIONAL perspective.

That’s an OK criticism.

But this is so not a big deal in LA.

I repeat. The fact that they made their effigy attractive?

That made me laugh. That’s really so West Hollywood’s version of respect.

You guys are intellectualizing this.

This was really a very liberal household bit of fun on Halloween.

Certainly, not a hate crime, other than they probably hate all women.

I am so sick of you! I’ve read your comments for a while now and disagreed with a lot of them – so what? – free speech and all that.

But this IS NOT a free speech issue – you’re an idiot, AnninCA. A person who sees nothing wrong with hanging the potential vice-president of the United States (or any human) in effigy is not sensitive enough or even human enough to play with others….

Your opinions are not respectable – and I don’t respect them – or you.

About damn time!

Just got this email from Ed Hale of Hillary voters for McCain.
Hi folks:I just got off the phone with Joe Thunder, with Freedom march.org, who standing in front of the LA Times building in Los Angles, Ca with 100′s of people. He told me that CNN had been there and done several interview with the people on the ground there. He also told me that Fox News was on its way and they would doing something live shortly. So tune in to Fox News and watch it happen. I will do a live update with Joe at 2 pm central time and you can listen to interview by Clicking Here. Stay tune folks, it is going to get wild in sunny southern California today. Ed

One-fifth of households in top markets watched Obama’s infomercial

09:28 AM PT, Oct 30 2008 by Matea Gold

EXCERPT:

Sen. Barack Obama’s 30-minute political infomercial was watched by 21.7% of households in the top 56 local markets, Nielsen Media Research reported today.

That’s a little more than half the audience that tuned into the final debate between Obama and Sen. John McCain earlier this month.

We really need to just use our own collective wisdom, judgment and intuition that tells us loud and clear that Mac is in fine shape. The contradictory news reports are noise and sap our energy. Fine shape does not mean we stop working hard, of course! But there is no doom and gloom. Its an illusion.

Agreed. Now I recognise the name. This person has been trolling before. Perhaps we can hang her in effigy and see how she likes it? She’ll probably have to support it as in Obama’s world that’s just ‘freedom of speech’. Yeah.

Move on.

You first. Lead the way.

Agreed. Totally true. Obviously. We seem to differ from one other person here in that we believe in decency. That word – ‘decency’ – is not mentioned in the Obama playbook. Obviously again.

AWESOME!!!

Ann – I may be totally wrong, but I am starting to believe that you are here as a paid operative of the Obama campaign, purposefully attempting to undermine the convictions and thinking of those on this site who are motivated to work against your employer, Obama. Your tactics are clever and subtle, but I believe they are in fact tactics, designed for the purpose of undermining the goals of those here who are interested in the defeat of Obama. Stop being his apologist and supporter while wearing the clothes of one of his critics.

The youth movement (sound familiar?). Obama Hitler fired up the youth and made them feel important and made them part of his civilian military force

Yes and one of these youth was GEORGE SOROS at the age of 14. He was hired onto Hitler’s team and went into homes and seized assets while the owner was taken away by the Nazi’s..
This happened overnight and the Jews didn’t know what hit them. Hitler’s agenda was also in regards to killing babies(abortion)who had defects. Sound familiar? Hitler hated Gays. Ohitler has a secret agenda for gays. He does the down low but hates gays. Not unusual for the AA community. Sleep with gays but vote against LGBT..common fact.

What are you talking about? Get your facts correct please. You really make it sound like the two effigy’s received the same treatment, which they did not.

Where the hell is Gov. Palin’s apology?
Why was Gov. Palin’s left there to hang for several days?
What are you talking about?

Obama Effigy Found On U-Kentucky Campus
Obama Likeness Also Found Hanging From Tree At Oregon College

POSTED: 3:07 pm CDT October 29, 2008

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hung an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus.

College spokesman Carl Nathe said it was found hanging from a tree Wednesday morning.

Police immediately took it down.

School President Lee Todd said 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.”

wow…

a respectful lynching???

amazing…

i thought i had heard it all….

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

Liberal rose colored glasses = ideals without the empathy.

Maybe AnninCA’s opinion – and that is all it is – was cool in the 60′s. It was cool to rebel without the depth of empathy. Just rebel, don’t think about the consequences.

Today, it’s a hate crime.

So the gay boys thought they were being cute and cutting edge. There ya go – just rebel without thinking deeply about it.

Thank God we’ve evolved on some of this since the 1960′s. Isn’t that what it is all about?

I repeat. I thought it was cute.

I am not offended.

I do not think it’s remotely offensive.

I think the gay couple who cooked it up are clearly highly creative.

I don’t agree with their politics, but I do admire their expressiveness.

I think the “outcry” is ridiculous, PC-crud, and I’m not about to jump on that ship.

And…..whatever you guys wish to blast me with, go ahead.

I stick by my principle.

Free speech is important.

I think you’re trashing it.

Still not that good….And how many of those where people just flipping the channel.
I kept my tv off or on the two or three channels I knew for sure were not broadcasting it. I was not going to be one of those accidental channel surfers counted.
Turns out that all he did was pass out A Lot more of his BS lies

Yes – I believe AnninCA is a TROLL – hanging a person in effigy is NOT a free speech issue, except to an 0bot.

I believe this is all part of the plan orchestrated by the Obama campaign to put up a smokescreen. They want us to believe that it is already over, and that he has already won. I read a comment somewhere yesterday posted by a woman claiming to be an employee of the campaign, who says in there that many actions like this have been carried out for the sole purpose of demoralizing their opponents. And that it has been working. I am trying to find it so I can link it for your all’s consideration..

Disagree with you here:
What the public HAS learned about Obama is that he is mostly well-intentioned.
Not sure if you mean Obama is well intentioned or that the public has been mislead into believing so.
Obama’s past and present is littered with radical, immoral people who have blatanly insulted America, American values, and Americans without heitstion. Not only has Obama never spoken out against this; but he has actively participated before our own eyes.

You are right on. I’ve seen so many parallels between Hitler and Obama’s rise to power; frankly, is disconcerting.

I remember in high school arguing with my teacher & saying it could never happen here. I now see I was wrong.

And in college, I remember arguing with my professor, saying that what happened in Chile and Argentina could never happen here. With the thuggery that Obama inspires, I now think I was wrong there.

If he wins (which I don’t believe he will), the natural progression will be limits on speech against him and his goon squads will become legitimized with his “civilian national security force”.

Anyone who votes for Obama is an uneducated idiot.

The Barack Obama paid political message rated very well, scoring 26.4 million across NBC, CBS and Fox, with an impressive combined 18-49 demographic rating/share of 8.1/22. Flying solo among the broadcast networks versus Obama, Pushing Daisies was relatively pummeled, but it did actually increase average viewers by nearly a million versus last week’s airing when it only drew 5.67 million. Last night it averaged 6.64 million.

I know. I’m truly a nut on free-speech.

But you guys lose this war, win the battle.

Do NOT complain when google gives your posts over.

Either you support free speech…

Or you don’t.

btw….you could jump on a flag in front of me, too, and I’d still defend you.

you are full of shit…

how do you know the lynched effigy in KY wasn’t done in a “respectful” and creative manner?

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

dude…

jumping on a flag is not the same as a lynching…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

That’s because jews in Israel are terrified of Obama becoming president. I even read a poll that people in Iraq support MCCAIN. I have family members in Israel, they are scared to death of an Obama presidency, they know that they will no longer be an ally of America, that they will basically be on their own(They will be just fine) but America sends them money, goods, that will no longer be the case. Jews in America, WAKE THE HELL UP. Obama is NOT FOR U. RELEASE THE LA TIMES TAPE!!

AnninCA, you have a fucking COMPLEX. You are always clammering for attention by going on the other side of logic just so you can turn this thread into ALL ABOUT ANNINCA.

Ann – you are acting again like a paid Obama troll. I believe we should act accordingly here, i.e., do not feed the trolls.

You are weird and a suspected OHitler supporter anninca. Try doing your free speech on KOS. you fit in better there.

So you defend Bill Ayers for jumping on one?

That is because you are paid by the Obama campaign to defend Obama and his colleagues and friends.

Well said!

OT but interesting-

This article deals with an Associated Press reporter who “Omitted” pretty important information in an article she wrote. Check out who this reporter’s husband is.

Remember, media outlets throughout the country use AP articles- verbatim- in their reporting.

AP Reporter Married to Democratic Operative Doesn’t Report that Sources are Obama Donors

By Soren Dayton (Bio | Archive)
October 29, 2008 – 16:41 ET

EXCERPT:

AP Reporter Lara Jakes Jordan wrote about a letter that had “been sent” but not yet delivered to Attorney General Mike Mukasey. The reporter had a significant number of facts, including that the signers of the letter were Obama donors, that she did not disclose. Part of the story:

Six former Justice Department lawyers want Attorney General Michael Mukasey to make sure voter registration investigations don’t keep eligible minority voters from the polls on Election Day.

The six attorneys formerly worked in the department’s Civil Rights Division, which oversees ballot access issues as part of the Voting Rights Act.

The core of the letter concerned a policy at the DoJ that the Wall Street Journal has noticed is not being followed:

In a letter Friday to Mukasey, the attorneys noted that Justice Department policies generally discourage voter-related investigations until after elections to make sure the inquiries don’t interfere with legitimate voters at the polls.

There are several problems with this story however. First, as noted above, the letter hadn’t yet been delivered and no names were mentioned. Once I actually asked her for a copy of the letter, it turned out that 3 of the 6 signers of the letters were Obama donors. And she did not disclose that she herself is married to John Kerry’s campaign manager Jim Jordan. And that’s not the only problem.”

End of excerpt-read the rest.

OK…..he made his closing argument.

We now wait to see.

For sure, I know that McCain doesn’t attract people like Obama does, rhetorically.

I do think Sarah does.

But in any case, I think both candidates have truly gotten out their message well.

John isn’t fancy……but he’s got a compelling story, too.

Obama’s story is compelling, but he fails to move me in terms of real life experiences.

So…..we wait for voters to decide.

Personally, I’m a lot more relaxed this week. John is closing well. It’s no longer able to describe this as a landslide……and even the media in the tank for Obama gave that up.

There’s no momentum for Obama now.

He’s fighting for every vote, to win, in a year when any Democratic candidate SHOULD have won easily.

That’s rather comforting.

ROFL That is actually so funny…I have a feeling that ABC has a whole lot of first time viewers just so they could avoid the infomercial.

ROFL

Y’all need to lay off AnninCa…

I think her priorities are right. Let’s not be so judgemental.

I think once you start bringing Hitler into the conversation, that just only really says: Conversation over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqis9mRcWl4

This would be the single most effective ad McCain could make.

Just a regular Joe…
Is this how you would like to be treated for asking a question and having a dream.

You are int he wrong blog PC ANNINCA.
This blog is not PC and will never be.
PC got UK in trouble. Now theyare over run gy terrorists..beat it!

I think a lot of “old hippies” are being slapped into “growing up” as of late. What would really happen if all the old hippies wildest fantasies came true? They probably wouldn’t want to have to live it.

Hey Tricia!!!

I don’t believe NC will flip for Bambi.

I can’t believe a couple years ago I moved here because this city was so BLUE and I hoped the state might one day flip as well. HAHAHAHA!

Now I’m Hoping and Praying the Repug ground game can beat bambi’s. GO NC GO RED (whoa yes I just said that)

Not sure if this is what you want but here is what I found.

OBAMA MOCKS JOE PLUMBER

you are a SICK ASS PERSON. You truly are. you need some serious MENTAL HELP.

Uh – what would Gandhi have done? Does anyone think Gandhi would have hung someone in effigy?

Gandhi liberated an entire subcontinent. With three times the population of the United States.

He did this without violence, without hate crimes, without animosity.

He did it this way not only because it’s the right way to be as an individual – he did it this way because it’s more effective.

Obama is a hoodlum. He runs his show not with inspiration but with fear. Oh sure – there are those who claim they’re inspired. Just as there were with Hitler. The trick is what happens to those who say they are not inspired.

For Gandhi it was ‘coexistence’. And peace. For Obama and his followers it’s brutality as in the caucuses, threats, violence. This is the Obama way. This what happens to the dissenters when the believers gawk at the Greek columns.

The opposite of racism is ‘coming together’. It’s people coming together no matter who they are.

The Obama way is ‘me first’ and ‘me now’ because ‘I am greedy’ and ‘I am entitled’.

Obama says he wants hope and change and unity. So did Deval Patrick. It’s only words no matter how much Obama bellows like the Red Queen.

AnninCA, i am still waiting for your decision on the KY lynching…

was it as “creative” and “respectful” as Palin’s lynching?

dying to know…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

Agreed. I wish liberals AND conservatives could be a little more understanding of other people and act accordingly. But one side or the other just has to go around acting like an ass.

Hate is hate. What those guys did was wrong. Apparently legal; but morally and ethically corrupt. Same if it was done to Bush.

If I had seen this on tv & it was MY son? I would have hopped on the first plane to LA and given him a real ass whooping.

But you know what? For shame on NOW. Where were they? What exactly do they do except issue political statements and collect money? Why wasn’t a group of women out there every day, picketing…passing out pictures of murdered women and decrying sexism and misogyny? Had they done that, those idiots would have removed that in one day. It wouldn’t have taken 3 weeks.

I agree…..

Answering only for myself: I could give a rat’s ass why this is going on. Its bullshit. End of story.

You are wrong.

What bugs me most?

You guys think everyone for McCain think like you!

I do not.

What really make me a bit nuts, and I got a couple of e-mails yesterday that were challenging, I think John McCain’s actual campaign is alot more along my line of thinking than some of you guys.

He’s not jumping into that dippy stuff about the birth certificate.

He’s not complaining about the silly effigy in West Hollywood, home of the doo-dah parade.

I think, personally, I “get” his campaign and am in agreement.

I may be one of the few that actually is voting for John McCain not out of rejection of Obama, not out of Republican desperation, but BECAUSE he’s earned my respect in this campaign.

So bite it.

So, did one of the networks pick up Obama’s series based on the pilot?

that’s an interesting name. It appears more likely that YOU are an Obama operative. Ann has suggested the best possible plan to win, and you’re knocking her down. Your double-agency is not fooling anyone.

Its DOA now. No release tonight on Fox, the story is dead.

Troll ALERT!!

Ann we know you work for Obama. You have been quite successful in your clandestine infiltration here at NoQ, but I plan to search out each and every post you make from now till Wednesday to make sure everyone here know what at least I think you are here to do.

The Clinton’s are the sacrificial lambs for the Obamessiah.

Maybe for you ANNIN but not for people who have a clear understanding of what happened.
You really are such a terrific Obama defender. Really. You are truly convincing all of us here.

According to the radio here yesterday. It was the mayor of West Hollywood that went to their home and asked them to take it down. The neighbors were covering their home in white sheets. They had protestors outside their home, etc. They basically said it was all in good fun and they never meant anything by it. Pfft.

I found a couple other interesting articles this morning. Obama adivisor says you’re still a racist even if you vote for Obama. Well! Isn’t that special?

Here is an MSM comment on the Obama ‘barbarians’. It’s very good.

Barbarians at the Gates–of the White House

Ann is a troll, bought by Obama’s campaign and has stayed paid for.

With regards to decency, all anyone has to ask oneself is

1) How would I feel if what I said just appeared on the front page of every newspaper in the nation.

2) How would I feel if someone did this to me.

Since those idiots removed the mannequin shortly after one of their neighbors hung a likeness of one of them across the street, I guess they decided they wouldn’t like it at all. And I’m guessing neither of them have a 6 year old, 13 year old and 17 year old child living with them who was be psychologically harmed by seeing the image of their mother lynched.

Hey you how’s it going. It’s Sheila. Let’s try to get together for lunch. I don’t have any friends I can talk to about this Obama nightmare. You know how liberal Hollywood is. Call me at the office or email me.

LA Times:
ISRAEL: Absentee voting exit polls
The exit polls show a very strong preference for John McCain over Barack Obama. The polls, carried out and analyzed by Keevoon, a Jerusalem-based research, strategy and communications firm, indicate that 76% of the polled voters in Israel said they voted for Republican candidate John McCain; 24% said they cast their ballot in favor the Democrat, Barack Obama. The information is based on data collected from 817 absentee voters at several voting events in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv as well as an online survey.
A few interesting figures about the voters:
• A clear correlation was noted between religious observance and voting pattern.
• Turnout among young voters ages 18 to 34 was high (37%)
• 31% were first-time voters
• 25% have lived in Israel for more than 15 years, 33% less than one year
• 52% are also Israeli citizens
• Half are either independent or not registered with either party
• 46% of Democrats crossed party lines to vote for McCain.
• Only 2% of Republicans voted for Obama.
• And 57% listed foreign policy (including Israel) as the most important factor in their consideration; 14% listed the economy; 7%, Iran; and 6%, the war in Iraq/terrorism.
Nearly two-thirds were ‘very concerned’ with Iran; 93% agreed that a nuclear Iran would be a threat to the U.S.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2008/10/israel-absentee.html

I have to agree with Ann in CA on this one, and I am a conservative strict constructionist on constitutional issues. Freedom of speech means exactly that, you are free to express whatever hate you want as long as there is no incitement to violence (that is intent to commit a criminal offense with the means to commit such offense readily available). Once you start limiting speech due to its offensive content, then you have artificially put a value judgment upon opinion thereby chilling all speech. There is no constitutional right to be free from being offended, and I think even you will agree that is a good idea if you think about it carefully.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit wrote in Colin v. Smith, 578 F.2d 1197 (1978) on an appeal by the City of Skokie, IL from a decision of the lower court granting the American Socialist Party (“Illinois Nazi’s, I hate Illinois Nazi’s” – John Belushi as Joliet Jake in the Blues Brothers) the right to march in predominantly Jewish Skokie holding the denial of a permit to march as unconstitutionl:

Plaintiff-appellee, the National Socialist Party of America (NSPA) is a political group described by its leader, plaintiff-appellee Frank Collin, as a Nazi party. Among NSPA’s more controversial and generally unacceptable beliefs are that black persons are biologically inferior to white persons, and should be expatriated to Africa as soon as possible; that American Jews have “inordinate . . . political and financial power” in the world and are “in the forefront of the international Communist revolution.” NSPA members affect a uniform reminiscent of those worn by members of the German Nazi Party during the Third Reich, and display a swastika thereon and on a red, white, and black flag they frequently carry.

The Village of Skokie, Illinois, a defendant-appellant, is a suburb north of Chicago. It has a large Jewish population, including as many as several thousand survivors of the Nazi holocaust in Europe before and during World War II. Other defendants-appellants are Village officials.

Village Ordinance No. 77-5-N-995 (995) prohibits (t)he dissemination of any materials within the Village of Skokie which promotes and incites hatred against persons by reason of their race, national origin, or religion, and is intended to do so. “Dissemination of materials” includes publication or display or distribution of posters, signs, handbills, or writings and public display of markings and clothing of symbolic significance. Violation is a crime punishable by fine of up to $500, or imprisonment of up to six months. Village Ordinance No. 77-5-N-996 (996) prohibits public demonstrations by members of political parties while wearing “military-style” uniforms, s 28.42.1, and violation is punishable as in 995.

The conflict underlying this litigation has commanded substantial public attention, and engendered considerable and understandable emotion. We would hopefully surprise no one by confessing personal views that NSPA’s beliefs and goals are repugnant to the core values held generally by residents of this country, and, indeed, to much of what we cherish in civilization. As judges sworn to defend the Constitution, however, we cannot decide this or any case on that basis. Ideological tyranny, no matter how worthy its motivation, is forbidden as much to appointed judges as to elected legislators.

But our task here is to decide whether the First Amendment protects the activity in which appellees wish to engage, not to render moral judgment on their views or tactics. No authorities need be cited to establish the proposition, which the Village does not dispute, that First Amendment rights are truly precious and fundamental to our national life. Nor is this truth without relevance to the saddening historical images this case inevitably arouses. It is, after all, in part the fact that our constitutional system protects minorities unpopular at a particular time or place from governmental harassment and intimidation, that distinguishes life in this country from life under the Third Reich….

Legislating against the content of First Amendment activity, however, launches the government on a slippery and precarious path:. Above all else, the First Amendment means that government has no power to restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content…. This is not to say, of course, that content legislation is per se invalid. [I]n very narrow circumstances, a government may proscribe content on the basis of imminent danger of a grave substantive evil. But analysis of content restrictions must begin with a healthy respect for the truth that they are the most direct threat to the vitality of First Amendment rights.

Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea. However pernicious an opinion may seem, we depend for its correction not on the conscience of judges and juries but on the competition of other ideas. The asserted falseness of Nazi dogma, and, indeed, its general repudiation, simply do not justify its suppression.

The Village [argues that] the Nazi march, involving as it does the display of uniforms and swastikas, will create a substantive evil that it has a right to prohibit: the infliction of psychic trauma on resident holocaust survivors and other Jewish residents. The Village points out that Illinois recognizes the “new tort” of intentional infliction of severe emotional distress, Assuming that specific individuals could proceed in tort under this theory to recover damages provably occasioned by the proposed march, and that a First Amendment defense would not bar the action, it is nonetheless quite a different matter to criminalize protected First Amendment conduct in anticipation of such results.

It would be grossly insensitive to deny, as we do not, that the proposed demonstration would seriously disturb, emotionally and mentally, at least some, and probably many of the Village’s residents. The problem with engrafting an exception on the First Amendment for such situations is that they are indistinguishable in principle from speech that “invite(s) dispute . . .. induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger.” It is perfectly clear that a state many not “make criminal the peaceful expression of unpopular views.” Likewise, “mere public intolerance or animosity cannot be the basis for abridgement of these constitutional freedoms.”

It is said that the proposed march is not speech, or even “speech plus,” but rather an invasion, intensely menacing no matter how peacefully conducted. The Village’s expert psychiatric witness, in fact, testified that the effect of the march would be much the same regardless of whether uniforms and swastikas were displayed, due to the intrusion of self-proclaimed Nazis into what he characterized as predominately Jewish “turf.” There is room under the First Amendment for the government to protect targeted listeners from offensive speech, but only when the speaker intrudes on the privacy of the home, or a captive audience cannot practically avoid exposure.

In other words, the only cure for bad speech is competing speech in the marketplace of ideas as expressed by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Ann,

I appreciate many of your comments.

But as a woman who survived an abduction/assault that involved rope, knives, and a gun, I disagree with you on this.

That kind of anti-female depiction in a culture that is almost rabidly misogynistic does affect people, and it’s irresponsible. This is not just an issue of free speech, or PCness. Free speech is not protected so violence can be fostered. The homeowner who put it up and said it was “just a Halloween prank” is wrong.

The issue of violence against women is vast and deep in this country. I shuddered when I saw ‘Palin’ hanging from a noose, not just because of my personal history, but because hatred toward women has been unleashed in this election, and that’s truly disturbing. I think it will set us back decades.

I’m taking my 10 year old daughter out trick or treating tomorrow night. Should I have to worry that she’ll see images of women she recognizes strung up by ropes? I hope not. If I find any more examples, I may engage in some clean-up pranks of my own.

Within minutes after serving the KOOL-Aid, people are then ready to believe the Obama mantra, “white is black & black is white, and all those who don’t like me are racists.” They repeat the lies over and over again until they all sigh in unison, “Ah, yes. We see now.”

“Don’t know much about Ayers.”
“Odinga who?”
“Rezko was just someone I didn’t break the law with.”
“My relationship with Acorn was tangential unless you’re talking about the part where I never broke the law, or never did anything unethical.”
“I have answered all the smears and yet they keep insisting on seeing my BC, school records, professional accomplishments, and that brief relationship I never had with Larry Sinclair, or the toy boy that isn’t traveling with me.”
“C’mon, now, do you really think I have anything to do with voter fraud, asking, telling, forcing or paying people to vote more than once. Gimme a break. Is it the way I look to you that makes you think that way?”

Grape, you say? Sorry, we’re temorarily out. How about lime, nice ‘n cool.

wow! this makes my day! I would have LOVED to see little chaddie’s face when he saw the dummy of himself swinging in the breeze! I love it when a community finally says ENOUGH!

AnninCA
Yes that is exactly what Mr Obama and his bots wanted us to do just move on….get over it….

and we are and we stand strong & proud.

John McCain !

So says the paid Obama troll site infiltrator…

See above.

I simply do feel assured that this type of post is viewed for what is really is about.

I think you can vote for McCain and NOT be freaked out about his birth certificate or think that Obama is a sly communist in hiding.

There are many of us just going to vote McCain/Palin who are liberal on social issues, do NOT go along with the slime machine, and who DO think that John has simply earned our vote the hard way.

He has a great record. He has NOT gone along with slime politics.

He’s doing great.

Obama is actually begging for more volunteers, especially in the battle ground states.
I have a friend that finally changed her vote and told the Obama caller so last Friday.
For the last two weeks she and her husband have gotten an average of 3 or 4 calls from Obama campainers a night. Just prior to last Friday she told a worker that if one more person called she would jump off the fence and vote McCain.

Good Going Obama workers…

McCain ’08

How many people do you think watched the BIG AD last night whose votes were not already decided? Very few I think, the whole thing was a bust.

Annin –
get an education in the sequela of violence already – you really sound like the peanut gallery enjoying the sadistic view of another being hurt.
You clearly are an Obot troll. Your postings today are really out there.

She is PAID by the Obama campaign as a site troll. It is part of their psyops game, but it is best if we do not respond to her in any way.

Hello. First time on your great site.
Thanks for referring to my Radarsite article about the Israeli exit poll results. I don’t think you will find it too difficult to believe that I have already received comments from people trying to denigrate the importance of this poll, just as they tried to denigrate the importance of that Army Times poll. However the results speak for themselves. And they are heartening.

I’m afraid I just outted a bunch of you.

You aren’t defenders of free speech at all, are you?

Too bad.

It really is a cornerstone of Democracy.

That’s a good point and you would think more Americans would be suspicious by now.

ANN – I repeat: I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A PAID SITE TROLL working for OBAMA. I urge everyone here to ignore any and all posts and comments be AnninCA

Ann, those who refuse to examine and acknowledge the past, are doomed to repeat it. I would really suggest you do some light research into Hitlers rise to power. The parallels are so obvious you’d have to be a rock not to see them.

I think the Hitler years can be divided into 2 periods. 1) His rise and consolidation of power; 2) Extermination of Jews, gypsies, handicapped etc…

I’m not saying that Obama would mass exterminate anyone. What I am saying is there are parallels in his rise and consolidation of power. And with limits on free speech would come state sanctioned thuggery. And yes, people would die. Probably starting with reporters and intellectuals (maybe some poetic justice in that).

HOld up…calm down.

Bad taste is bad taste; HOWEVER there is an intangible thread of FREEDOM in this country, and we all need not have kneejerk reactions to someone else’s stupidity, or we’ll have thousands MORE laws on the books that are unenforceable, because someone with delicate sensibilities was offended.

Seriously, it’s a stupid and crass thing to do in the name of Halloween, or in the name of whatever. Again, HOWEVER, this display offended people.

So what.

I’m offended on a damn daily basis, but I’m a grown up, and don’t give attention to attention seeking losers.

People need to stop being so outraged over…get ready…FREE SPEECH if it’s not hurting someone. It’s the same thing with flag burning; it’s done in PROTEST. It’s done in the name of FREE SPEECH to record utter disagreement with policies of a government.

Y’all need to care about real issues; HOWEVER, the notion that hanging an effigy of Palin is “not as bad” as hanging one of Uhbama,…THAT IS TRULY DISGUSTING, and where your anger needs to be focused.

AnninCA is NOT saying she agrees with the message, but is sticking up for the moron’s rights to express them.

Would you choose to hang an effigy of your least favorite politician? No.

Would you speak out, even in jest that “obama needs to be taken out”? Or did you laugh at McCain’s “bomb” comment? I did…

So before you start wanting to deny people their right to express themselves when they’re not hurting other people, no matter how stupid or ridiculous it is, just remember opposing viewpoints can demand your silenced as well.

It’s a

TWO WAY STREET.

And yes, I’m a HillaryDem4McCain/Palin.

AnninCA, i am still waiting for your decision on the KY lynching…

was it as “creative” and “respectful” as Palin’s lynching?

dying to know…

Continuing troll alert…….

Oh wow. I just found a quote at another site. And does it put everything in perspective. It’s from Cicero. Marcus Tullius Cicero to be exact. See if the dimes drop down the slot for you as they did for me. Methinks Cicero was a wise man.

A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

So hanging an effigy is a “hate crime” but referencing “gay boys” in a demeaning tone is not offensive?

See the trap we’re running into here?

If you desire the ability to use “free speech”, I’d suggest you layoff something so ridiculous, or your sensitivity might turn into even more *ahem empathy towards those “gay boys.

Back at ya, AnninCA.

The path to enlightenment is not straight and linear. It requires stops and starts and the exploration of many avenues. We have done that here in a free blog. Free speech, remember?

But, then the bean counter in you wouldn’t understand that.

Of course McCain has stayed out of the fray of missing birth certificates, et al.

But don’t think he hasn’t enjoyed the shadow of doubt it has cast on Obama.

I am not concerned about his birth certificate. I have been telling folks it was a loser issue from the beginning. You are more interested in misdirection and disinformation, and I remain convinced that you are a paid Obama blog commenter. I won’t be fooled by your clever tactical mannerisms and turn of phrase.

I have a question about the battleground states.

Are they truly “battleground”?

I swear, where could McCain/Palin or even Obama/Biden not visit at this point.

I think I’m rather done with with those states, I guess. They have gotten so much attention, you have to wonder if it’s not just a kind of “state sickness” to keep not deciding.

I guess I’m done with PA. Make up your mind. Nothing more that either candidate will do will change your mind. So vote, already.

I DO see an opportunity for McCain to close in the West. Enough with PA.

They are spoiled at this point.

So head to Nevada, John……..

Dang……it looks like there’s an opening there.

I seem to remember John Kass’s guest appearance on FOX in which the viewers were told that we’d be learning much more about the good old Chicago Columbine. Will those stories unfold in say, ..January?

Please,everyone foward this to FOX.

don’t hold your breath. She is on the payroll of the Obama campaign.

Baloney. I’m a 35-year Democrat voting for McCain.

You’re a poor judge of on-line character.

Thanks. Just added it to my collection of wise sayings. Truth and wisdom are timeless.

Clinton so overstated Obama’s need to call everyone he actually painted Obama as the incompetent fool he really is!

Well done President Clinton. Ah, the truth is a beautiful thing!

really?

is that supposed to be a threat?

here is a big surprise for you… i actually use my real name on here… because i have nothing to hide… and i hide behind nothing…

and AnninCA, i am still waiting for your decision on the KY lynching…

was it as “creative” and “respectful” and “cute” as Palin’s lynching?

dying to know…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

I watched Pushing Up Daisies. It was cute. I’m going to tune in next week also. I knew it was going to be that little weasel that did it, except I thought his cousin would also be involved. Only thing I really didn’t care for was I thought the main character was more than a little dull. Give the guy some personality. His twin siblings had more personality than he did.

Just wondering, what happens if it is proven that relevant and material information was given to the press and they did not act upon it?

I think many of you expect people for John and Sarah to buy your kool-aid. I can imagine that you think that’s legitimate.

However, I’m voting Republican this year, and it is in spite of many of you.

I think the backlash blogs actually were a kind of fire I had to walk through. I so couldn’t figure out how to withstand the crazy talk.

I’ve been told, by progessive blogs and by conservative blogs, go away.

Honestly, folks, I would. But this election has not offered a true middle ground.

Just take the latest…..I am not at all upset over the WHollywood effigy. I’m from LA. I get it. It’s not a hate crime. It’s a political statement only.

Whoa……I get blasted for knowing that.

I just can’t wait, personally, until Nov. 4th.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m done with the personal attacks, the whole crud.

I’m toasted.

But…..I do think John is closing very well. He is looking good.

This person is posting at another blog (under a different name of course). The style is immediately recognisable. Either this person hasn’t been to the chemists today or David A has promised a bonus at the weekend. Definitely troll alert. My question is: why now? These people come out of the woodwork when David wants them to or when they start feeling desperate. Why would David want them out now? Why would they be feeling desperate now?

For one thing is for sure: when the trolls hit NQ you know the Obama people are feeling scared again.

Been feeling like McCain is going to win for about two days, now.

My homepage is running a story about the polls being wrong in foretelling the results of elections ie Truman/Dewey etc.

There’s been a shift in the winds.

Lizzie…you’re a bad judge of online postings.

I’m not on any other site at this time.

Screw her, Gerry. She’s not worth it. Trolls are a dime a dozen for the great David. And perhaps if we all ignore her David will sack her as being ineffective! LOL

Its a great sign your information is being attacked. That means they are on the defensive and are frantic with anxiety. Excellet!

I hope every single Oborgbot has a nervous breakdown when their false god idol symbol goes down the tubes in a huge stunning defeat! They’ve been gorging on the misleading polls and now believe them and are washing them down with gallons of koolaid. Fark every single one of them for what they are trying to do to my country!

How about a guy who makes them run to cable reruns? I knew that I had seen the CSI Special Victims Unit that aired last night on a cable channel at least twice, but, hey … at least it was based on a true story!

Lizzie I believe that you are exactly correct.

All that you are describing is your designated persona, the one that you adopted for purposes of this mission, which is to TROLL for Obama, David P, David A., etc.

TROLL ALERT

There’s been a shift in the winds.

I think its been an illusion all along that Mac was behind. America won’t embrace the race card / threat of riots from the Oborg collective. No one will talk about this but I think that might be the crux of the matter.

If I’m wrong in assuming you’re making a gay slur here, then accept my apologies.

If I’m correct, you need to know I don’t appreciate your comment, and homophobia is not generally tolerated on this board, as far as I can tell.

Tee Hee!!!

Where does it end?

AnninCA thinks its okay for those “gay boys” to act out, but then someone thinks it’s not okay to identify the perpetrators as “gay boys” yet that was the very reason they were given a pass in the first place!

Oh, they live in West Hollywood. Oh, they’re gay. Oh, they should know better because they are gay.

How about no more excuses for hanging Palin in effigy?

If -and it’s of course a big if – the AOL straw poll is any sort of indication of the outcome, McCain will win in a landslide.

You can only vote once and it is an indicator for the popular vote. Even the swing and toss-up states are clearly leaning red.

I agree. I think McCain has actually been ahead in the internal polls for awhile. But for the psy-ops portion of keeping it tight to the public, to keep voter interest up, the tighter polls have been highlighted.

I’ve also thought that the race has been kept tight so as to deter thoughts of rioting and destruction.

McCain is not about to win by a landslide.

IF McCain pulls out of his clear “behind” status, it will be a miracle.

What world do you guys inhabit?

An AOL straw poll?

Oh well, it’s probably as legitimate as the legitimate polls this year.

The truth of polling this year?

It’s truly a crapshoot.

New article on RCP.

AA voters….turning out in droves in FL, way more than in the past.

Youth? Flaking, as in the past.

Great article! Apparently Israeli’s and American’s in Israel aren’t the only ones that question Obama.

Iraqi’s also prefer McCain.
If Iraqi’s could vote it would be for McCain:

Interesting theories. I wish some day we would have truth on this Earth. These games are so tiring.

“I’m not saying that Obama would mass exterminate anyone. What I am saying is there are parallels in his rise and consolidation of power.”

Lisa, there are parallels there too. According to an FBI informant, the Weather Underground had plans for the extermination of up to 25million Americans who might not adapt to “re-education” in camps. This was discussed by a larger group of Graduate students and professors from Columbia University in the 70′s. This, coupled with his mentors Wright, Pfleger and Farrakhan, (who preach identical sermons about race) calling for the extermination of Caucasians convinces me that it is all too possible. These are the guys he’s been hanging with for years. I was in the counter-culture of the 60′s and 70′s too. But would I have sat in the same room with this slime? Not for a nano second.

It’s horrible to contemplate that a person who’s been given so much could hate so much. I believe that he and his wife share a common hatred of whites in particular and any one who stands in their way in general.
He hides so much. Paranoia is not an inappropriate response when the threat is so obvious.

A-w-e-s-o-m-e. Bookmarked! But she’s right when she says:

One reason this never came back to bite Obama is that the article below is overly long.

That happens here too. All the time. The class of journalism at NQ is higher than anywhere right now. That’s why people keep coming back – people with brains and an intellect and a desire to do that strange thing George Carlin called ‘thinking’. But it’s not for your ordinary voters and Axelrod knows it. They’d rather drink the Kool-Aid and chant ‘HOPE CHANGE’. And that’s why we need the MSM. They can play these things out with the simplicity required by the esteemed voters. But as she says, they didn’t want to pick it up.

It’s not just that the emperor has no clothes – there’s no emperor either.

Great article!

Actually, freedom of speech does carry with it the right to threaten as long as the means with which to carry out the threat are not at the immediate disposal of the proponent of the threat, as ruled the Supreme Court in Brandenburg v. Ohio. If the means to carry out the threat are at the immediate disposal, it is still not a restriction of free speech, but it is an intent to commit a crime. Thus, if the means to commit the crime are present it is not speech that is being curtailed but the commission of criminal act itself.

even though Alaska is still part of the United States its kinda cut off so Obama won’t be able to destroy it.

I used to laugh in the 70′s when I lived in Big Sur and so-called local revolutionaries boasted about how they’d stop the government from coming in by bombing Bixby Bridge. Hey, jerks. They have helicopters, planes, and professional soldiers. Same with Alaska. More brutal environment for sure and lots of individualists but no…not a sanctuary.

Now New Zealand…I hear it’s very like California. But would they welcome immigrants fleeing the USA?

How does the law against threats to presidents and presidential candidates factor in?

Ah the MSM. Even Auntie Beeb. That clip has whiskers and they’re picking it up first now? Soon the MSM will be gone.

Gay couple that had this effigy on display were just worried about upcoming anti-gay marriage proposition currently on California ballot and the press coverage they might get.

You’re such a gallant supporter of free speech. Maybe someone should go to your neighborhood and dress a mannequin up as you, then hang it for everyone in you neighborhood to see (and know who it represents). How would you feel then? Your honoring free speech would go out the window at that point. I betcha’ it would!

Believe it or not. This haning Palin in West Hollywood will definitely backfire. There must be more undecided voters suddenly sensed creepy about Obama camp and his supporters and turn away from this candidate. This kind of thing usually backfires. Trust me.

Yes this is a great site! But so is yours! I just read your article on Zeituni – excellent! Thank you!

ann, why don’t you go over to the obama sites and make those comments. what the democrats and the repubs both have in common with any group that uses violence and intimdation is it makes everyone think they can get away with it. hitler and germany is an extreme example but i won’t be politically correct for any group anymore. i understand your concerns to a point but only to a point. it is the other side that needs to be taken down on these actions and words.

no i won’t move on. i exchanged some emails with the good mayor. he is a real jerk in my humble view. he bowed to pressure and nothing else. this move on nothing to see attitude gives a green light to continued violence and rude behavior.

What’s criminality like there? Isn’t that where they filmed Jurassic Park? Are you sure there aren’t any dinosaurs left behind?

Seriously: you’re right about Ohitler but it’s the followers too. The mood of it. The mass hysteria. That’s what makes this an obvious repeat of Germany in the 1930s.

hmm, yup but there is yelling fire in the theatre concept to consider. this guy stepped over the line. it wasn’t just an effigy, it was hanging. dang it hanging. that is not acceptable and needs to be addressed.

Oh I see. Now what did Gandhi do when he met opposition? Did he hang anyone in effigy?

This isn’t just about right and wrong. Although it could be.

It’s also about who we are. And what that couple did is not the way to do things in a democracy.

So it’s definitely not a ‘just worried’ at all. There is no ‘just’ and there is no excuse. It’s a hate crime. Period.

with that comment i have had enough of your crap! and that what it is. now i know you will respect my right to express myself about what a load of donkey turds you deposit here everyday.

I agree Lizzie. Wonder if that image brought out the best in wife beaters?

If this hateful act incited any domestic violence, I’m doubtful that Chad and his partner would even feel remorse. What a couple of little twerps. Unattractive ones at that.

anna you are the judgemental and self righteous one on here.

The threat still must be credible, otherwise, Michael Moore and many others would be serving jail time right now.

This worries me. The Davids obviously think one troll is enough these days. Either that or Obama’s been spending too much cash and they have to cut back.

oh so you are now 35 and the other day you were a much older woman with gray hair. make up your mind. your mistatments are catching up with you.

Yes. They’re going to call it ‘West Wing’.

Arabella Trefoil is my new favourite poster here because she makes me laugh!

According to the radio here yesterday. It was the mayor of West Hollywood that went to their home and asked them to take it down.

Yeah I was going to say. Because West Hollywood is like totally gay.

Under self-imposed rules, lobbyists will not be allowed to contribute.

How about “Consultants”? I think that’s how Barry categorizes his lobbyists.

You just stated the problem with AOL’s straw poll….

“you can only vote once.”

Unfortunately, that’s not true of the GE, at least in Ohio.

There you go again Annin. You swing wildly from posting a total support comment (after being challenged as a troll) to complete denial of a McCain victory. Frankly, I think that’s showing your true colors.

AA voters won’t be the determining factor in any state. They are not the majority…well maybe for Kenyan voters.

Yep, and an especially jaded one to boot.

scusa? Annin who?

AnninCA, i am still waiting for your verdict on the KY lynching…

was it as “creative” – “respectful” and “cute” as Palin’s lynching?

dying to know…

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

They repeat the lies over and over again until they all sigh in unison, “Ah, yes. We see now.”

Winston Smith. Big Brother. 2+2=5.

My gosh, you don’t think that’s reflective of their families and friends in the USA, do you? Hahahahaha. Methinks that a few little old ladies in Florida have been leading the pollsters on…

As I said earlier…a Jew voting for the Third Reich? I think they get a gut reaction to all of this extremism.

But they can vote!!!!

In Ohio.

Well, back then she couldn’t vote until 21 and she went gray early…hahaahaaaa

Lizzie, I think the title of Barry’s sit com is Wacky Wing.

Thanks Kristen for alerting the Mayor! It takes all of us to do our part. If we didn’t alert Mac to Acorn and current fraud, we would not have a final report to the fraud investigation by the FBI.
Mac Listens.

destardi, no thanks! in fact please take her to task for being a hypocrite.

what’s so sad about these two over the top palin hating guys is they should know better. they as a group have been mistreated and judged. now they are like the pigs in animal farm. given the chance they are no better.

And again in Florida and Pennsylvania!

I am so glad to learn that the WEHO (Cali-speak for West Hollywood) couple took down the effigy of Sarah Palin.

To be honest, I was surprised that *anyone* in WEHO would do this sort of thing: its just not too cool to advocate abuse or violence of anyone.

Glad that Mayor Prang had a chat with them.

MG-PUMA

hanging an arbitrary witch or ghost or cowboy like in a gallows situation is ONE THING

but actually making it apparent WHO the person is to ME IS A THREAT!!

not that it should be a LAW but if it were ME hanging in effigy I’d beat the little twerps blue!!!

Maybe Sarah’s hubbahubba hubby should speak to these gaydars perhaps they are jealous? Cuz her state was the FIRST to initiate (from what I’ve read) equal benefits for gays in her state.

perhaps they’ve been brainwashed by the loony left as I was? They look pretty young as well as ignorant.

or maybe I’m just making excuses for them
(I should stop doing that, I’m no lawyer)

Yes, I sent them a Post Card with that exact sentiment…thanking them for their help in defeating Prop 8 NOT.

Sorry, kids you’ve just undermined the process by infuriating voters on middle ground. Why vote against discrimination when you have fools like this who don’t know the difference? The proposition is a very close vote. Why would you want your community shown in such a light? Unthinking twerps overcome by their jaded sense of self importance. I’m sure that’s part of the Mayor’s message.

there is a huge difference between hanging an effigy and shouting fire in a crowded theatre. Its the immediate harm that results – shouting fire will cause panic and danger. Hanging someone in effigy is a fairly well known and historical form of making a political statement. If the state tried to intervene, they clearly lose based on case law.

You may find it offensive, which of course, is your right, much as others have the right to not care.

Accepted. I believe the Latin sobriquette is ‘joto’ – Hotos, like Boyos.

and to the supreme court. but what do they know.

West Hollywood is mainly a gay neighborhood and of course filled with young people and crazy wing nut liberals. I live in LA. Trust me, those people are the first ones to have pulled a disgusting move like that. On the flip side, many gay people LOVE Palin and they are dressing in drag like Palin for Halloween. They love her hair, her glasses, her clothes, etc. So a couple of idiots did this. Just shows how petty, violent, nasty and low level intelligence the Obama supporters are. They’re scum. Period.

Point taken but only if the military cooperates with Obama and the revolution and I find that highly unlikely. The first time he orders American troops to fire on American citizens he will face a mutiny.

Now if Bush were giving that order… 60/40 proposition.

Agree, Lizzie. It’s deeply offensive.

What has happened to AnninCa, I’m not sure.

She used to be more rational.

The link has a cliff notes version.

In short, Obama had massive campaign debt coming off of his failed bid to challenge Bobby Rush for a seat in Congress. Smarting from that loss, Obama needed money, so he turned to Yesse Yehudah. What’s so strange about this is that Yehudah is a Republican — so why would he raise money for Obama? What the article below does not say is that, magically, 10 people who work for Yehudah and have never given money to any elected official before – AND WHO COULD NOT AFFORD TO MAKE $1,000 donations – all made $1,000 donations to Obama simultaneously. As if someone else made the donations for all of them, in their names, with money that came from somewhere else.

The quid pro quo on this is simple: Obama took a $10,000 bribe from Yehudah for using his position in the state senate to throw a $75,000 grant to Yehudah’s nonprofit organization. People here in Chicago say this was obvious politics in Illinois: where Obama agreed to get Yehudah a grant, but Obama’s fee for this transaction was $10,000 to pay off his campaign debt.

That sounds EXACTLY like the Sen. Government I know. A) Take taxpayers hard-earned money. B) Give it to someone working to get some pie. C) Get a kick back – oops, no can’t call it that. Get a campaign contribution to get a bigger office to lather, rinse and repeat. (Of course, there is no quid pro quo either. You’d have to have a signed contract in triplicate to prove that.)

This camouflaged misogynist has only one message for the women moronic enough to vote for Him:

“Back to the end of the bus, ladies”

He has a real Oedipal problem with women, starting with his mother.

“I have harbored and am harboring a deep strong resentment, hatred, for my mother’s race….” Barry’s mistrust, fear and loathing of Women has had its roots in his own troubled “abandonment”-type relationship with Ann Dunham, a teenager who had the misfortune of becoming pregnant in the wrong era, 4 years before the Pill became known…

But why should the rest of us have to suffer because of the psychologically unresolved problems of an inadequate bi-racial male with woman-hangups! Barry’s sexist arugula-thin resume offers small comfort.

He got a pass cause he’s black and the media were scared to say anything remotely to be construed as “racist”. So, the Obama Fairy Tale went on to gain validity…What a joke at the expense of a far more competent, qualified and test opponent to whome Barry can’t light a small candle! BHO stole the election from his AA mentor Sen. Alice Palmer.
He stole the nomination from Hillary. And now his supporters are hanging Gov. Palin’s crude effigies and are given “green light” by Obama Himself. How?

Watch this juvenile sexist’s youtube mega-hit:

“Obama Gives Hillary the Finger”

“Periodically, Hillary feels down and starts launching attacks to boost her appeal”!

“She’s likeable enough”

Yup! With Barry in Washinton, it’s back to the end of the bus, ladies!…

Hey Dawnelle! We loved having you there. I think Hampy will be opening up the chat tomorrow night (boo!) and definitely on election night.

Hope to see you again.

Last night was church for the faithful. Nothing else.

George, the only problem with your “incitement to violence” exception is that it DOES NOT WORK. Go back to WWI and see just how the “freedom of speech vs incitement to violence” argument fails. The Schenck vs US decision in 1919 (while not dealing directly with “incitement to violence”) ruled that freedom of speech can be restricted if it merely presents a “clear and present danger”. Schenck had been a vocal opponent to the draft and had passed out leaflets arguing against the draft and urging men not comply.
The 1969 Brandenburg v Ohio decision ruled that inflammatory speech can be targeted if it is LIKELY to incite imminent lawless action.
Those decisions, when taken in tandem, have caused many problems when the actual hate speechmakers have been taken to court for the actions of their followers. Those who spew venom make the argument that they cannot be held accountable for the deeds of others, even those in their audience. Dozens, if not hundreds, of people have gone to jail for DOING what they’ve heard others saying should be done. (There were a number of cases where leaders of Aryan Nations and other white supremacists groups never faced a jury for their incendiary speeches while their supporters served jail time for taking the very types of actions the leaders had spouted.)
There is nothing that suggests that the Founding Fathers ever intended that outright lies should be protected by the law. Consider the Zenger case, which became the foundation of the very concept of a free press in this country. The man was arrested and jailed on charges of seditious libels against the Governor of New York. A jury found Zenger not guilty largely because Zenger’s lawyer had proved what Zenger had written was based on the facts.
Carol Burnett, in her own famous case, successfully sued the National Enquirer for having published an article which accused Burnett of being drunk and rowdy at a restaurant in 1976. The article was based on an unreliable tipster at the restaurant but was written, and was then approved by the magazine’s gossip column editor.
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are invaluable parts of American’s heritage, but that heritage does NOT allow either to be without limits. We permit freedom of religion, but, as adherents of the Native American Church can attest, they don’t have an unrestricted right to partake of peyote or hallucinogenic mushrooms whenever and wherever they choose; similarly, Rastafarians in this country are resticted in their use of marijuana. Practitioners of voodoo and santeria must abide by strict regulations when it comes to animal sacrifice. On the flip side of the coin, churches ARE exempt from abiding by federal equal employment opportunity laws (the Roman Catholic Church can prohibit women from becoming priests–an otherwise flagrant violation of anti-discrimination laws and fair hiring practices). Employers may not require female employees to wear pants or slacks if the women believe such items go against their religious beliefs, but no employer is required to hire a woman whose job would demand pants/slacks, especially for safety purposes (high-rise contruction workers, telephone lineworkers, mining).
Freedom of assembly would suggest that anyone can organize a meeting anywhere and anytime, but in the real world, you need permits to hold a parade. Most localities require a permit if you wish to make a speech in a public place that’s intended to draw a crowd, to say nothing of the fact that even public venues–such as city hall–can impose certain restrictions or impose fees for the facility’s use. These restrictions are perfectly legal and completely within the bounds of the Constitution, provided that the rules are applied evenly and without preference for one point of view over another.

Excuse me, but the “Doo Dah” parade does NOT take place in West Hollywood. That parade takes place in Pasadena.

I think you have to have a job there to live in New Zealand… they don’t look to kindly on welfare. What a place! If you want to eat you have to work..

Your “downlow” analysis is spot on.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, . . . .

But GWB initiated this fascist era we’re living in. Bo is the next phase, which is just as (if not more) dangerous.

Obama is nothing but Adolf Hitler with a new suit on. I pray every night that people will see the light and vote for McCain.

I’m with you, Sarracuda. While normally one of those people who are overly fond of the bottle, for the last 6 weeks, every time i want to touch the sauce i pray for our Nation instead. Just couldn’t live with the thought of remembering that i past through this election cycle drunk. There is too much at stake here, and too much rejoicing to do when McCain/Palin are elected next week!

Peer pressure. Lots of it. And then turning the tables. Touche!

Or BO’s evening show could be called the Pod Wing.

AnninCA, I can tell you must not be a parent. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that effigy was Sarah’s little girl. I cannot imagine how she would feel if she saw that. The effigy of BO in U. of Kentucky was equally shameful. I hope BO’s daugthers never hears of it. For those of you who think that freedom of speech in this instance trumps human decency, then you are totally lost. Freedom of speech and expression is one of the greatest rights awarded by the Constitution. But any “adult” knows that it comes with grave responsibility. People like you who condone such irresponsible, selfish acts have no place in society. In this instance, people like you think it is “funny”. For all your rhetoric about supporting a candidate that will bring hope and unity to the world, your actions betray your self-interest in forcing your ideals on others who just do not agree with you.

I have only pity for you AnninCA because I believe in karma. There is consequences for all your actions, and the worst will come when they befall not on you, but those that you love most. You may not like what I am saying, but my conscience is clear because for this election, I did my homework. I was a lifelong democrat who tried for long time to consider a vote for BO. But like many here, I cannot find an excuse to vote for him.
