eagle_eye222001 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) The PG-13 link is [url="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-palineffigy29-2008oct29,0,1328064.story"]here[/url]. This is probably the most disturbing anti-Palin act yet. It is one thing to try to protest and block traffic and try to shout out a candidate at an event rally. What happened in California flies over the line and then looks back and spits on it. Like. Seriously. This is...really pushing it. Now. If I were to do the exact same thing except with Obama...I would be shot out of the air so fast. [img]http://www.iiaf.net/history/airdefense/Hawk.jpg[/img] This is clear racism. Apparently it is okay to hang a white person as a sign of opinion...I can guarantee you it is not okay to symbolize the hanging of a black person. This is utterly despicable and beak-dropping. I really don't know what to say. Edited October 28, 2008 by eagle_eye222001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philothea Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I find it hard to believe that something which is essentially a death threat doesn't violate any laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galloglasses' Alt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Don't forget she's a gun-totting 'bada**' who wants to nuke Russia and is a buety Queen! In that respect it totally ok to diss her like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galloglasses' Alt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Also, watch this video: [url="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-palineffigy28-2008oct28,0,541630.story"]http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-pa...,0,541630.story[/url] Wait till the part where the reporter interveiws an Obama supporter, (she's the female one with Sunglasses, can't miss her), and listen to her words. [u]Basically she says this:[/u] [b]Girl:[/b] Yes they should be allowed to keep that up, I have nothing against it, hey Palin would even think its funny, right? I mean she's a gun totting bada** who likes killing things and all. Freedom of Speech, (something along those lines) [b]Reporter:[/b] So you'd be ok if those guys had Obama up there instead right? [b]Girl:[/b] Oh no, I'd burn the house down. [b]Reporter:[/b] *stutters in surprise* B-but isn't that double- [b]Girl:[/b] Yes thats waht i'd define as double standards, (almost proudly) Wow.
