Effigies: more double standard

October 29, 2008

Palin effigy story finally makes it on MSNBC but only because there was an Obama effigy found hanging at University of Kentucky. And they'll be more as long as Palin's lynched effigy remains suspended in the noose with her hands tied behind her back as "art".
"[University of Kentucky] School President Lee Todd says that he plans to personally apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the university and that he is "personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode."
Why is one effigy more offensive than the other? No, don't give me that pat answer. Two major candidates' human likenesses are being hung from a tree. How is one any less evil than the other? And yet, one gets more outrage than another. Ones racial bias is revealed in what one considers acceptable behavior concerning one race and unacceptable concerning another. It shows once again the double standard between race and gender, with race always winning.
West Hollywood pigs: "If it's a political statement, it's that (McCain's and Palin's) politics are scary to us. This is our palette and this is our venue of expression."
And if it were a different color palette? It wouldn't be a venue of expression protected under the first amendment - it would be a hate crime.

Did I miss barry's campaign asking them to take it down? Did he tell them they should apologize to the Palin family? Just more of the same obamanating: lofty words - no action. Transcender of race! Great Uniter! Man above the Fray! does nothing to stop the attacks on his opponents and keeps shelling out cash for McCain attacks ads. If Obama loses, it will because of the barrage of those ads, not "McCain/Palin racists".
It's the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. Earlier this week, George Fox University in Oregon said it was punishing four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree.
See AP for rundown of effigies and an inflatable doll. Note that these events took place after the Palin effigy "art" was lynched. And had the Palin effigy been addressed immediately and properly?

So, two universities this week. At one, four kids are punished and the other is extending a personal apology to the Obamas. And after three weeks, Gov Palin's effigy remains hanging from a noose with her hands tied behind her back as an "art" exhibit. Yes. I understand the historical differences and residential property vs school property. NEITHER are right and BOTH should be treated the same.

Gov Palin's effigy has been hanging with a noose around her neck for three weeks with nary a concern by the neighbors or federal investigator until it hit the news. An unsubstantiated threat of "kill him" got national press and even more outrage heaped on McCain. barry did not hesitate to play the race card by announcing the unsubstantiated claim to the entire debate audience. The final debate - ensuring no retraction - as was intended. Has barry made a public apology for his false allegation that can never be unheard? That can never be taken away from the consciousness of the debate audience - potential voters?

Who in their right mind still believes that barry has not used the race card at every and all turns? Who believes that what he did was not intentional? Who can possibly continue to say that his campaign has been the most honorable in history? It will be chronicled to be the most deceitful and deceptively vicious as there has ever been. Mark my words - though it may take longer than six months and may only come to light after barry needed help with that international crisis Biden already knows how he will handle.

And has barry publicly decried Rep Lewis' statement that admittedly so angered barry's own camp? Where was Jesse, jr's comments? Or on Biden's "false tears" during the debate? Typical pick and choose according to political expediency and what most helps barry and what most damages is opponents, with the pro-obama media happily playing along. What about every comment Senator Clinton, her husband and camp (allegedly or not) made? Senator McCain? Governor Palin? And the pro-obama media go on and on how McCain has disgraced and dishonored himself, while peering blindly into the eyes of the messiah, who meanwhile laughs behind the stooges' backs.

Has the pro-obama media forced barry to do what they have hammered McCain/Palin for not doing? How can someone respond to something that was never said? Has the pro-obama media mentioned the one allegation was completely debunked by the Secret Service as: "THAT'S him"? No, of course not. How would it further barry's cause? Just like all the misinterpreted comments made during the primary. Imagine the outrage if the skin colors were reversed. Racial equality in America? And the pro-obama TV personalities, including Whoopi, Mika, Martin, Gergen, Olbermann, Brazile and Behar still don't know that DAVID SINGLETON [I am exercising my first amendment] TOTALLY MADE IT UP. Either for his own personal gain or in cahoots with the Obama campaign - my opinion is the latter.

Would the barry effigies have happened if Palin's effigy had not been given so much press and written off as Halloween "art"?

How do Gov Palin's daughters feel seeing it on TV and hearing the pro-obama media laughing and saying that's where their mom belongs?

How do you think her son feels over in Iraq knowing that no one cared that his mom's likeness was hanging from a noose with her hands tied behind her back and that even after it was brought to the pro-obama media's attention it was allowed to remain?

How do you think her husband and parents feel about it being written off as "art" and touted as a tourist attraction?

Do you think Gov Palin's children feel any less offended or afraid than Malia and Sasha?

Do you really need a study to prove pro-obama media bias exists?
