Wink Halloween Sarah Palin prop sparks controversy in West Hollywood, California

Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In WeHo



WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) ― A Halloween decoration showing a mannequin dressed as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of a West Hollywood home is drawing giggles from some passers-by and gasps of outrage from others.

The mannequin is dressed in brunet wig, glasses and a red business suit. Another mannequin dressed as John McCain emerges from a flaming chimney.

Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene.

Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.

He says "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."

It's wrong because it is targeting a specific person, not just some generic horror figure to scare people on Halloween. Time for the double standard to end.

Okay, I do not support Palin in any way, but this is sick. It's sick! We're never going to resolve ANYTHING in this country if both sides are full of hatred.

It's not funny at all.

That's wrong.. I don't like the bitch, but no one should hang any likeness of the candidates. Not like it didn't happen to Obama...

well. to be fair, it's west hollywood, and they did this because she's homophobic and wants to deny gays equal rights.
it's as if they'd hung up a dummy dressed as a klan member in a black neighbourhood.
in that sense, it's not the same as if they'd hung up obama, because that would be racist, whereas here, it's a (granted, tasteless and wrong) protest against palin's homophobia.

It's tasteless, regardless of why they did it.

I don't understand why, if it were Obama, it would automatically be "racist," but because it's Palin it's somehow legitimized and people are quick to make excuses.

Making a negative statement or criticism (verbal or artistic) about someone who happens to be black doesn't automatically equate to racism. People have a free for all hurling insults at Palin and McCain, but the minute you criticize Obama, it's because you're a "racist". It's really frustrating.
