Ghosts, goblins, gargoyles . . . and Sarah Palin hanging by a noose?

That's the latest imagery of the Republican vice presidential candidate and her running mate John McCain on display at a West Hollywood home that has been decorated for Halloween.

The outdoor decor features a mannequin dressed as Palin, wearing a red business suit, eyeglasses and brunette beehive wig, hanging by a noose off the chimney. Right above her, a devilish John McCain emerges from the chimney with paper flames surrounding him.

Some neighbors say it's just wrong to depict a vice presidential candidate that way.

Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.

"It should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary, it's time to be spooky," Morisette said.

Several locals and tour buses have swung by the house to snap photos of the scene, and some gawkers say it is humorous. Morisette acknowledged to FOX 11 news that had he depicted Barack Obama in the same scene, it would not have gone over as well, because the history of a hanged black man in America is a lot more intense than a hanged white woman.

I saw this on the news and it really bothered me. Not only because of the stupidity of such a thing but because of the way the guy thought it was funny! Any other time I would have just thought STUPID people do STUPID things! But then I started thinking about a story they had a couple of days before that!
It was in Malibu I think. There was a man that had a big Obama sign in his yard. Like a 4x8' foot sign. Someone had come along and spray painted it with a racial slur. I don't know what it said exactly but the reporter said "racial slur". I totally agree it was WRONG!! But the part that got me was they were saying the FBI and the secret service were called in to investigate. They were going to go through all the security cameras in the neighborhood to find and prosecute the vandals.
Ok they are both wrong! Why is one being investigated by FBI and secret service, but the guy from west Hollywood is getting a pat on the back from the media and not being told to take his crap down? He told the reporter he will take it down after Halloween and will have something greater for Nov 4th!!
I guess pretending to Hang Sarah Palin and burn John McCain is not offensive but deface an Obama sign and The FBI or secret service will get you!
