Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hung an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus.
College spokesman Carl Nathe said it was found hanging from a tree Wednesday morning. Police immediately took it down.
School President Lee Todd says that he plans to personally apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the university and that he is "personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode."
It's the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. Earlier this week, George Fox University in Oregon said it was punishing four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree.

So, now the effigy is a black male and not a white woman. The school president plans to personally appologise to the Obama family. Wonder if the mayor of West Hollywood plans to personally apologise to Governor Palin's family? Ahhh, don't answer. I already know that answer!!

It was just a “halloween display”, right?
Free speech, right?

My guess is ... an Obama supporter.

Hanging Obama in effigy = hate crime.
Hanging Palin in effigy = free speech.

If it's ok to hang a Palin effigy it should be ok to hang an Obama effigy.

Investigate all the liberal activists first — it’s by far the most likely that it came from that direction, as a provocation piece of propaganda...... that’s how these things usually turn out nowadays.

It must be the long-lost spouse of the Palin effigy.

According to authorities in Hollywood, “It’s only a matter of poor taste.” I’d run with that were I at U. of KY.

Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hung an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus. Did it have a backwards "B" on its face. /sarc
To: The G Man
I’m 99.99% sure an Obama supporter did this. I’m sure they’ll find the culprit soon after they identify the “kill him” guy who still exists only in the imaginations of Dana Milbank and the Washington Compost.
To: BAW
What morons. Personally apologize...
Will Obama personally apologize for the conspiracy to commit robbery that he’s engaging in against wealthy Americans right now?
