Watching this story unfold tonight made my blood boil: First there was “performance art”. Now, there’s “installation art!” It’s what’s being passed off as artistic expression in a Los Angeles community – an effigy of VP candidate Sarah Palin, hung by a noose from the side of a house.
City officials, afraid to make a move, claim that since it appears “gender related” not “race related”, they are powerless to act, since it apparently doesn’t qualify as a “hate crime”. Why would hanging an effigy of Obama be considered a “hate crime”, while hanging one of Palin not share the same status? Does that make any sense? In the 1800s, blacks were hung in Georgia; in the 1600s, women were hung in Massachusetts! Remember the Salem witch trials? As one outraged neighbor put it: “If it were an effigy of Barack Obama, you’d have Jesse Jackson and everyone else down here demanding it be removed!” So, what’s the difference?
Neighbors defending the display must think the nation is populated with morons. Observe the video footage of the “artist and friend” sniveling about “the season”, etc. in a convoluted excuse and the message is abundantly clear. Sarah Palin has every right to sue to have this insult removed. If I were the target, I certainly would. And the city fathers are powerless to take it down? Only in L.A….
This race is getting uglier by the day. And predictably, it's the far left getting more emotional and out of hand. I'll be glad when this election cycle is finally over...
