October 29, 200817 yr If there was one of Palin on a university campus, the reaction would be the exact same... Whoever did this deserves to be expelled, just as if someone did the same with a Palin effigy... I agree with you.
October 29, 200817 yr Ah, yes, the infamous hate crime. Truly an invention of liberals. Undoubtedly, the framers would be shocked to learn that, instead of all men being created equal, we have a special class. God help us when the liberals take over. When, not if?
October 29, 200817 yr Care to explain that? Maybe you should go on Snopes and check that out... Kenya is in Africa I thought???
October 29, 200817 yr The Palin effigy was done on a person's private property. The Obama effigy was hung on a busy sidewalk on UK's campus, where thousands of students walk every day. No one at a college campus should feel threatened just by walking to class. Your argument is less than convincing but that is usually the case with you appeasers. Obama deserves no more consideration than does Palin. That is how this country is supposed to work. And, of course, Todd is a fool.

People like you are one of the reasons I left the Republican party. Peace out, I'm done with this forum until after Election Day.

That is how this country is supposed to work. And, of course, Todd is a fool. So in your opinion, no punishment is nesessary??? Its quite hypocritical to have an outrage about the Palin effigy, then arguing that the Obama effigy is acceptable... Both are absolutely horrible and deserve no defense. These are people, not just characters on TV... Its amazing the hate people can hold just because someone has different beliefs...
October 29, 200817 yr This is the first entry when I google "origin of hate crime laws": http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_hat3.htm
October 29, 200817 yr You've got to be kidding me. People like you are one of the reasons I left the Republican party. Peace out, I'm done with this forum until after Election Day. I read this forum, and I've realized that the hatred spewed because of different political beliefs is absolutely disturbing....

Sometimes the truth is too much for one such as you to comprehend. There is truth and there is political correctness. They are rarely the same.

Both are absolutely horrible and deserve no defense. These are people, not just characters on TV... Its amazing the hate people can hold just because someone has different beliefs... There has been no outrage about Palin.That is the problem.Since Obama was targeted now everyone of his supporters is up in arms.Where were you defending Sarah Palin the last couple of days?

Both are absolutely horrible and deserve no defense. These are people, not just characters on TV... Its amazing the hate people can hold just because someone has different beliefs... The hypocrisy rests in the fact that Palin can be hanged in effigy and no one finds it disturbing. However, when it happens to Obama, shockwaves are heard all around. I am consistent. I actually find both acts to be lawful and protected expressions of our First Amendment rights.
October 29, 200817 yr There has been no outrage about Palin.That is the problem.Since Obama was targeted now everyone of his supporters is up in arms.Where were you defending Sarah Palin the last couple of days? Honestly, I hadn't seen it yet... Maybe that has to do with the national news not covering it, but I didn't come into contact with it the way that I did with the Obama incident. I completely agree that both are despicable acts...

I am consistent. I actually find both acts to be lawful and protected expressions of our First Amendment rights. And I consistantly find both to be outrageous and disgusting... Maybe that's just my young naivety at play, but I don't understand how someone can hate a person so much for having different beliefs.
October 29, 200817 yr Honestly, I hadn't seen it yet... Maybe that has to natido with the onal news not covering it, but I didn't come into contact with it the way that I did with the Obama incident. I completely agree that both are despicable acts... Now I wonder why they didn't,don't you?
