It's a disturbing discovery, less than a week before the election.
Someone found an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama hanging from a tree on the University of Kentucky campus.
The item was discovered Wednesday morning in a tree along a walkway from Rose Street to the William T. Young Library.
It was immediately cut down from the tree.
UK police are looking into the case and federal investigators have also been notified.
President Lee Todd says he's "disgusted" by the news. Governor Steve Beshear also issued a statement saying he "strongly agrees" with President Todd.
Campus police are asking anyone with information on how may be responsible for the incident call them.
A forum is being held Wednesday night to talk about the incident and to discuss race relations. It starts at 7 p.m. at Memorial Hall.
We hang Obama? It's terrorism.
Go figure.

How do they know it wasn’t a P Diddy effigy?
What do you mean "we" white man?
How do we know it wasn't a bunch of Obamatons who perpetrated this act?
Was the effigy stuffed, or full of hot air?
They found an effigy of Sarah Palin hanging in West Hollywood, CA the other day and the police thought it was no big deal, “Just a Halloween prank” they said.
“A forum is being held Wednesday night to talk about the incident and to discuss race relations.”
Losers.
How do they know the effigy was the Snob? Was it made out to be a cross-eyed, dumbo-eared haole?
I’ve seen two interesting juxtopositions of Dem signs over the past few weeks. Here in NH, a John Lynch (gov) next to an Obama sign: Lynch Obama. In Rochester, NY some guy named Massa is running for office. Yup, Massa Obama.
we, as in not liberals.
Sounds like a fake hate crime. Of the kind currently found at University campuses all over the country. But it’s OK, because it “raises awareness” .
If this doesn't expose the hypocrisy, immaturity and twisted humor of the mentally ill Left to the average blue-jeans voter, nothing will.
Who didn’t see this coming?
P-diddy...that’s funny!
Woops Juxtaposition. Sheesh.
Is this satire? If not, maybe someone wanted to make a point about the double standard.
I bet a black group was involved. Reverse hoax
What do you mean "we"? You can be damn sure this was done by Obama people to create an incident.
“How do we know it wasn’t a bunch of Obamatons who perpetrated this act?”
I was thinking the same thing.
Stupid freakin’ twisted demoncraps they have us all suspicious of everything.
Did the effigy find the effigy?
