Morrisette and his partner, Mito Aviles, both 28, defended the display.

"If it's a political statement, it's that their politics is scary to us," Morrisette said of the McCain-Palin campaign. "This is our palette and this is our venue of expression.

Actually they're using some political sense. They know this thing is dynamite if it gets too much play in the press. Can you say backlash? Can you say angry undecided women? Can you say double-standard? (Obama effigy found in Kentucky causing an uproar)

These two gay guys are really showing their “tolerance”.

Would he understand if someone wanted to use his face as a palette of sorts?

So if a bunch of white people hanged a Barack Obama in effigy and lit it on fire, could they say, “If it’s a political statement, it’s that their politics is scary to us” and get away with it?

I doubt it. More like, it clashed with the approved decor of the home owner's association or violated a local sign ordinance.

The politics of hate, of symbolically murdering a christian with differing opinions, is scary to me too. Maybe I should go outside and hang an effigy of your canidate since you claim that's the appropriate response. Oh wait, I just remembered, I'm not that stupid or hateful. Seriously though, I'd love to do my previously proposed experiment of hanging palin one week and obama the next, just to witness the blatant hypocrisy. I just don't have a yard to do it.

Nailed it, Scott. These two nuts are yet another example of how the Left is deranged. Normal people don’t even THINK of doing something like this. Their Hollyweird neighbors just have more political sense, not better taste.

“Hell has frozen over.”

Even Olbermann is claiming to find it offensive. Shovel on some more brimstone, and pass the parkas.

"We don't want to make enemies with anyone," Aviles said. "This isn't what it was supposed to be about."

Next time, maybe think before you act then. Hanging a doll of someone in a noose is a pretty sure-fire way to make enemies of that persons friends. If they're too chicken to stand up for their display, they should have kept it in their living-room.

I do not see this as a hate crime, just as I would not see hanging Obama in effigy as a hate crime. In order for there to be a hate crime, there first, must be a crime, and it would seem what they are doing is lawful.

What we have here is a few Homorons lashing out at a “breeder” and proving to the World just how tolerant they are. Let them continue in their folly and may those in California voting on Prop 8 vote accordingly.

You would think they would have fixed her hair better. They are going to give homosexuals a bad name.

Honestly- whenever you see unhinged arabs burning an effigy of Bush, you think: “what a bunch of stupid, impotent psychos.”

What’s different about this?

Unbelievably, I guess that the feelings of Sarah Palin, her husband,

and more importantly her children about a horribly vicious, ugly and incredibly hateful scene like that representing their very own MOTHER,,,

DO NOT MATTER?

How would you like to explain to her young children why their mother is hanging in a noose?
