Sarah Palin is not considered to be a friend of the gay community, but the Republican vice presidential candidate seems to be looming over the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival.
First, a rumor got started that city officials were going to ban Sarah Palin drag queens at its upcoming costumed street party, which draws some 500,000 people annually. The rumor turned out to be false, but tonight comes word that a mannequin has been outfitted to look like Palin -- with glasses, a beehive wig and a red business suit -- and is hanging from a noose outside a WeHo residence.
The display also depicts a devilish John McCain emerging from flames.
"We see people stopping and taking pictures, and the tour buses are stopping and slowing down ... people reach out and take pictures,"display creator Chad Michael Morrisette said.
However, some neighbors said the effigy is in bad taste... Canadian tourist Ron Hernando, who stopped by to take a picture, said he was not shocked by the display. "This is West Hollywood, after all," he said. "It was kind of cruel, but it made me laugh, too. What can I say?" (more at site) .

This is helpful actually.
You could never get away with a hanging Obama.
I wonder what the effect of doing the same thing with a dummy of Barrack Obama would be? (Actually I know dang well what it would be. No one in their right mind would do it.)
I was about to comment on it crossing the line. But then I saw your post. Agreed, this may help if more news media report the story.
Freaks.
no class. can you imagine if it had been obama on that rope and biden in the flames?
Christmas trees are not gay!
Well, according to Judy Garland, the Yuletide was indeed gay.
Asfter the Ashley Todd distraction, back to the real vile hatemongers: the Obama supporters.
We can't even call him Chimpy.
helpful if the media told the story
but they won’t
I bet it’s on Doheny Drive. I was driving up the street today and a tour bus had pulled over and tourists were standing in the road snapping pictures of a house decorated for Halloween. I was wondering what the deal was, but I glanced and didn’t see anything. Of course, I was driving, and in a hurry. I should go check it out.
Your point may be moot. Who could tell if it was a dummy or the real one?
Yet say factually that Obama hung out with a terrorist and you a hateful racist...
Go figure...
he does look like Curious George
and Bush looks like Alfred E Newman
> Is everyone in West Hollywood gayer than a Christmas tree?
As an actual Hollywood resident, I can state “yes”. You have to be white...gay...and rich. If you do not fit ALL 3, don’t go there.
What? No Police, FBI or Secret Service called in?

A little bit of a double standard?
