Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In WeHo
« on: October 27, 2008, 10:29:47 AM »
WTF?  If this had been an Obama mannequin, then the people would be called racist and charged with threatening a presidential candidate.
Quote
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) ― A Halloween decoration showing a mannequin dressed as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of a West Hollywood home is drawing giggles from some passers-by and gasps of outrage from others.

The mannequin is dressed in brunet wig, glasses and a red business suit. Another mannequin dressed as John McCain emerges from a flaming chimney.

Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene.
A little more.

West Hollywood? No surprise. I'm surprised he didn't do a mannequin of Obama with a 12 foot pecker in his front yard.

The US Secret Service are a most humorless bunch.  I would expect that a few of their number would be paying a visit to West HollyWierd in the foreseeable future, if it hasn't happened already.

Does anybody know if this moonbat is huddled in the fetal position in a corner of his living room, in a large puddle of his own urine, with all the lights in his house on?

I could consider that a "death threat" or at a minimum, an incitement to a death threat. I doubt that the Secret Service is even paying attention to this one.

That's disgusting.  I hope the Secret Service is on their way for a visit.

Given the West Hollywierd demographic, it's certainly not from any of his neighbors.

Mischief night is coming soon...his house should be toilet paper'd and egg'd.  Hopefully enough that it will take until spring time to be cleaned.  I wonder how funny he thinks that is.

Like I said, it's West Hollywierd.  If you've never seen the Halloween Parade, you'd understand.

Case in point--about 10 years ago, KISS played at Dodger Stadium on Halloween night.  Great show, Smashing Pumpkins opened for them IIRC.

Anyway, the friends we went with lived in Santa Monica (Mrs. Sparky and I lived in Hermosa Beach at the time), so we decided what the hell, take Sunset.

BIG mistake.  Now while the actual parade is down Santa Monica Blvd., Sunset runs more or less parallel to Santa Monica and as such gets lots of the overflow, both cars and people.  Couple that with the fact it's your basic weekend night (I think it was Saturday) and the clubs/bars/etc., on Sunset, you start to get the idea of what it was like.

It took THREE HOURS to get from the Sunset exit of the 101 to UCLA.  THREE EFFIN HOURS.

KISS aparently wasn't too far behind us.  Rumor had it the next morning they finally got fed up with the traffic, got OUT of their limo, STILL IN FULL MAKEUP, and WALKED the final six blocks to their hotel.

AND NOBODY NOTICED IT WAS THEM.  This is the freak show that is West Hollywood.  365/24/7.

So seriously, this guy is probably a shoo-in for next mayor of WeHo.  Seriously.

(KFI - West Hollywood) A Halloween display in West Hollywood has generated several complaints because a mannequin dressed in vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's trademark up-do and glasses is hanging by the neck from a noose.

Chad Morisette, who lives in the house, put up the Halloween display. He says drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene.

Some concerned callers reported the display as a hate crime to the West Hollywood Sheriff. As a protocol, the investigation has been turned over to the Secret Service.

The home also has an effigy of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain popping out of a chimney surrounded by fake flames.

Seems like the mayor is asking for the display to be removed.

Hell yes it's a hate crime, considering who did the hanging and who the subject is.  Let's see , it's in WeHo, done by fruits, and the target is known to be Christian and have strong beliefs.

I watched part of Keith Olbermann last night and the guy that did this was the "Worst Person in the World."

I evidently missed that segment...I can only take him in slow doses so I change the channel when he says something stupid, which is often.

You know, after I get home from work, I'd just much rather watch Family Guy or really anything else than Countdown.

I don't think anyone has made him take it down. I had Fox News on until 8 and there was no mention of it being removed.

If the guy had put up Obama instead of Palin.....he would be in jail. As it is, probably nothing will happen to him.

Yep. It was the Psycho Circus tour. I worked at that concert, EVENT STAFF, Bitches! They had us patting people down as they entered. Guys were supposed to pat down guys and girls, girls, but, the 3 chicks that were working with us split, so, for a while there, I was checking under and between breasteses for contraband. Those people were NUTS. KISS on Halloween, does more need to be said?

This was all over Fox this morning.

It is NOT a hate crime.....just tasteless....yeah, right. ::)

From what I understood from multiple interviews....IF if was a dark complected mannequin made to look like Obama.....it would be a hate crime. But because it was a WHITE complected WOMAN made to look like Sarah Palin...it was not.

That translates to me that anything done to a white woman is ok..... but a black man? Uh-uh...it's a hate crime no matter if it's Halloween or July 4th.

Apparently....a noose by itself is symbolic of a hate crime. Put a black man in it and it's a major hate crime. Put a white woman in it and it's a Halloween decoration as "an expression of intelligent art"....
