It's not just Sarah Palin hanging around for Halloween.
Police are investigating the discovery of an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama dangling from a tree this morning at the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington.
"I am personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode," said Lee Todd, president of the university in a campus-wide e-mail. "This is not reasonable political expression; it is just malicious. And it is unacceptable."Todd plans to apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the school, which immediately removed the life-sized dummy said to be outfitted with an Obama Halloween mask, a suit jacket and sweat pants.
"I feel outraged and hurt. I am outraged because we work very hard, every day, to build bridges across the divides," said Todd. "Diversity and inclusion are among our most precious core values. Episodes like this serve only to erode our confidence in and respect for one another."
He said those found responsible will be "subject to the full force of university, state, and federal rules and regulations."
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear called the incident "embarrassing" and "deeply offensive."
"This was not political speech. It was simply hate," he said, according to the Associated Press.
The effigy of Obama comes on the heels of a high-profile hanging depiction of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in West Hollywood, Calif. continued

Palin Effigy Fun, Just Art, Obama Effigy "Disgusting, Malicious"...
It didn't take long for our points to become reality when someone actually had the 'nads to hang an Obama effigy, and as predicted the reactions couldn't be more predictive of the blatant Obama favoritism and the tolerance and thus encouragement of the disparagement of Caucasian men & women to be more accepted today than any other racial groups.
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it. H. L. Mencken
