So how do we feel about this

[Bassett]

What do you think? If someone had hung a dummy Obama by the neck instead of Sarah what do you think would happen?

My thoughts are: They would not have allowed it to stay hanging. There would have such a big uprising. The house would have been vandalized. It just would have been WRONG in everybodies opinion. Do you think it was wrong for them to do it to Sarah?

 

[Jill]

I think there are people out to prove how stupid and tasteless they can be

I do agree if it were Obama, the outrage would be much more vocal

Oh shoot you two; it's no big deal! It's only Palin.

I mean, seriously, she's just doing something feminists have been fighting for for years.

 

[Marnie]

I think it is absolutely horrible. Like I said the other day with that strip contest, a lack of respect for women. Palen is picked on and ridiculed no matter what she does but it's not over yet, even if she loses this election, I think some day she'll be back, armed with alot more knowledge including how very cruel people can be. I think she'll show people she's not as stupid as she seems at times. She sure has a tougher skin than I do, I'd be in a corner some place, crying. Or took my little flock of kids and headed home, out of the lime light.

That's actually a much better strategy than what I'd picture myself saying and doing... Mine might involve a four letter word or it's nicer five letter version + "you all! I'm going home..." It's just been relentless for Palin and she has handled herself very well.

 

[AppyLover2]

If it were me I'd either be crying in a corner somewhere or giving people a large piece of my mind on national TV.

I posted that yesterday at about this time. IMO she's quite a strong lady.

I agree, had it been the other way around and it was something to resemble Obama hanging from that house, they would of been FORCED to take it down.

 

[AppyLover2]

If it were a likeness of Obama it would be considered hate-mongering and we all know why. But since it isn't it's OK -and that fool won't be ordered to take it down.

I just saw it this morning on CNN. It's offensive, it doesn't matter who the image is of, it's offensive. By the way, earlier this month there was someone on who had hung a dummy in his yard with an Obama shirt on it...stupid, ignorant people do stupid stuff...and it's ALL offensive.

 

[ErikaS.]

Gosh, hanging people in effigy is so 1880's... so passe'...

There was an Obama effigy hung by a tree a few weeks ago: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/19/r...g_n_135971.html

It says video is no longer available. Does that tell us anything? To me it says Oh oh you can't do that to me because I say you can't. So why is Palins still hanging? That seems to be alright. Makes you wonder. Doesn't it????

 

[bingo]

Maybe instead of your constant conspiracy theories it could be something as simple as due to the highly offensive content the video was removed. Perhaps the one depicting Palin will end up being removed as well.

Huh? Look back Bingo, I think you are dragging something behind you. I did and I can't find where I said anything about a conspiracy in this thread. Now I think you are trying to start something. Am I right??

 

[Jill]

Bingo, I really do not understand how this news story can be construed as a conspiracy theory??? It seems to me like some people have embraced a couple catch phrases (fear monger, conspiracy theory) and want to use them even if it makes no sense??? Because it's not a conspiracy theory -- it's a picture and a news story of something that is "decorating" a house in CA.

I believe Bingo was talking about the way Bassett chooses to post on so many topics in a way that suggests a conspiracy. See above.

 

[Jill]

Actually, all I've noticed is that she's posted a number of things that are concerns to many informed US Citizens when it comes to Obama. Haven't seen any "Conspiracy Theories" nor "Fear Mongering", which was also recently suggested on a thread expressing disgust about the recently foiled asasination attempt. As if sharing what is National news and being disgusted at the plot is fear mongering???

 

[mininik]

I would guess making insinuations is fear mongering as much as not being so concerned or disgusted over those insinuations is uninformed.

 

[bingo]

Mininik yes that is exactly what I was responding to. Obviously it is simply

 

[AppyLover2]

If you guys feel like you're beating your heads against a wall why do you keep doing it? There are so many comments like that or like "why bother" or "never mind" or insinuations that people who don't agree with you are either ignorant or uninformed. Why do you bother? I would think it's pretty obvious by now that nothing said here is going to change anybody's mind. Whose head are you hurting when you keep beating it against that wall?
