Nothing racist about it. The person or people who did it just disagree with his policies, even though they probably couldn't clearly tell you what any of them are. At any rate, the only racists involved are the people who think there is racism involved.

Racism isn't the first thing that popped into my mind either Nogov. Moron did however. I don't suspect this was the first nor will it be the last time a president has had an effigy hung from a tree or burned at the stake. But because Obama is part black it automatically becomes a race issue.

I think Bush got hung in effigy at least once a week. I agree, I don't think it's a racist thing, but the racebaiters will make sure it's presented as such.

Who said that Barack couldn't hang with regular folks?

Obama didn't even know what Yueng Ling was?
He drinks wine. What a pussy

I wonder if Jimmah was ever hung in effigy in Plains?

"Obama didn't even know what Yueng Ling was?

technically if you go by alcohol content... beer is for pussys

just saying.

Beer is a masculine drink . Men who only drink wine usually take it in the but

"technically if you go by alcohol content... beer is for pussys"

American beers Klifferd American beers. Many foreign and micro brews are at 9 to 10 percent now. Two of those is enough to get a good buzz going.

So we have a wino for president? That explains so much.

Seriously, I didn't approve when Bush or Hillary Clinton or Palin or Kratovil were hung in effigy. And I don't approve Obama being treated the same way.

Now, behind bars in effigy, that I could support ;)

Two terms: one in office and one in prison!

Hard to pinpoint whether or not racism plays a factor, here. It is in Georgia, after all, and knowing their history of race-relations, well, makes me wonder. So does the fact that this black president has had more death threats already than any other president in history.

Knowing these facts yet still immediately brushing off incidences like these as non-racist; well, that makes me wonder, too.

Well, it IS Georgia.

That isn't cool..hope the the perps enjoy their stay in prison.

I don't agree with that either.. This day and age you don't know about the nut that will attempt to take it a step further.

I don't think its a stretch considering regarding race either. In our county in NC there were MANY such lynching's and subsequently setting the body on fire all black people. Of course this happened 50 years ago, but could easily happen again given the mindset of the locals.

newsflash it was racially motivated.

At least they didn't put him on a cross...

This happened in Georgia and some of you don't think it was racially motivated? Apparently you have never been to Georgia.

Another lie from pUnk bOy. How about a LINK to your fantasy world, liar? Facts are, this is very racist---people who deny it is racist, are racist.

I would say it was probably race motivated. Can't be 100% but most likely. Of course Goat would deny it.

Obfuscation fest. Situation normal, all fucked up.

Whether something is racist or not can be in the eye of the beholder, in Obama's case it is even harder to judge since the POTUS, is always subject to both praise and ridicule. Of course any image of a black man hanging in the deep South is going to be racist because of the historical connotation. Exactly the same way as a Nazi graffiti on a synagogue is taken to be antisemitic.
Whether racist or not is this not ultimately free speech under the 1st Amendment, especially since it does deal with the president?
Personally I'm more concerned that the secret service is investigating the act rather than the act itself.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Noam Chomsky

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

Evidently neither do you. It's Yuenling. One word.

And wine is just fine, unless of course you have insecurities about your sexuality.

I was drinking Yueng Ling Saturday night with shots of Tullie

He's hanging from a thread right now!

My first thought was that it was just plain wrong. I probably would have thought it was race related a couple of years ago. But Palin, McCain, and Bush effigys were hung all over the nation by Obama supporters during the election. And those effigys were actually defended as "free expression" by the same people who are denouncing it when it's done to a guy with a little darker skin. The bottom line is that there are racists and race baiters on both sides. For every so called "Klansman" out there, there are 100 deciples of Farakhan and Sharpton who's livlihoods depend on racial tensions existing. Personally, I don't agree with the apparent message being sent. But, I do think that they should have the right to send it.

Ok, so you're semi-literate then. Awesome, good for you.

Tullie?

The people who did this may not have had racist motivations, in whole or in part - nobody here knows for sure, but their chosen method of expression obviously did not give them pause, which it should have, demonstrating if not racism outright, a clear indifference to the historically racist context of such expression.

Redneck morons period. The one thing that gets me though are the same libtards that are freaking out about this are the same libtards that said hanging Palin was free speech and even art.

an effigy of President Barack Obama with a rope around his neck

Since people are missing it, I highlighted the part which leads some to conclude there was an element of racism here.

If you click the link, it doesn't even look like Obama. It's a black stick-figure-ish form with an Obama sign pinned to it. I wouldn't even really call it an effigy.

Considering the location of the hanged doll, by the Carter sign, surrounded by American flags, the political implications are hard to miss. (Unless you are really intent on missing them, then apparently it's easy.)

I find watching the unthinking party hacks argue very amusing at times. To me, party members are people wh have decided its a good idea to be force fed shit. And the difference between followers of the DNC and GOP is that one group would rather have that shit come in the form of runny, drizzling shit and the other would rather munch on logs. And both sides are disgusted by the other while not realizing they are all guilty of the same unhealthy behavior.

The problem ALWAYS starts when someone who has not embraced the 21st century opens his mouth.

I don't think swinging the Sultan of Swing from a rope was a racist act. I think it was a political one.

All the people I know who don't like him (including my mega melanin friends) feel that way because he came outta nowhere, has socialist politics and viewpoints and keeps apologizing for past comments and kissing ass to his global peers.

A lot of the dislike for this president comes from his politics and background; not from his race.

I've never seen Condi Rice or Colin Powell strung up in effigy. When Sarah Palin was hung in effigy was it considered racist? Nope.

I think his handlers will make the most of this.

Old flop ears now can say he is "well hung".

well even if it had nothing to do with race, the person that did it ought to know that a noose has a little different meaning to blacks then it does whites...

sorry, even though I can't stand the guys policies a little sensitivity would not hurt here...

Goatman et al have a point.

A black man hanging from noose in the South is merely libertarian political commentary on socialism - or whatever - in the vacuum in which some complete fucking idiots, such as Goatman, live.

There's nothing to see here, and Goatman et al prove it by stating that "every negative thing thrown at Obama isn't about race" , including him hanging in effigy from a noose in the heart of the South.

See? Since "every negative thing thrown at Obama isn't about race", a black doll being hung in effigy in Georgia isn't about race either.

And his white half was also hung in effigy.

No it wasn't, the so-called effigy was as black as coal.

And his white half was also hung in effigy.

No. There was only the black doll lynched in effigy. (Was there a white Obama lynched as well? Did the liberal MSM just cover that up?)

If there hadn't been a banner reading "Obama" pinned to the hanged black effigy, would it have been racist?

(Answer: Yes)

I don't think the presence of the name "Obama" on the effigy removes the racism. It may add an element of political commentary, but it does not redact the obvious racism.

Fascism :"A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government."

Which party is attempting to place more and more under govt control?
[Hint - it's not the Republicans]

keyword: stringent

I also don't see any attempts whatsoever at social control. You're still free to attend your Tea Party rallies.

Bingo, Snoof.

And even economic control. How much more control has actually been placed on citizens? How much have corporate entities had to give up to gov't?

They think that when they stop paying a private insurance company for health insurance and start paying (less) to the government for health insurance, that means they're being controlled.

What I find so odd is they have no qualms whatsoever about being controlled by corporate interest. They seem to prefer being controlled by private interest over choosing their own destiny.

What fucking standard is that?.. HUMAN DECENCY STANDARD.. Are you stating it is acceptable to burn effigy's of black men OR white men in the south anyway? A simple protest is one thing, but a throw back to a more barbaric time is another. Burning in effigy's is a message "We would like to burn you to death because we hate you".
