Emotions stirred in a Redondo Beach neighborhood Wednesday when a resident hung an effigy of Sen. Barack Obama from her balcony with a meat cleaver slashed through his throat as a Halloween display.
figure outside Lisa Castaneda's house north of 190th Street is a likeness of the Democratic presidential candidate with his necktie pulled tight and hung from a post, his jacket covered with blood and a sign in red that reads, "Nobama."
Castaneda, a mother of two young children, said the Halloween display is part of her larger scary exhibit that includes the Grim Reaper, a graveyard and the attacker from the "Scream" movies.
A sign in support of McCain/Palin is posted in front of the yard.
Castaneda said she supports the Republican candidate, Sen. John McCain. She said the Obama effigy simply makes a statement that he is not fit to be president.

Fair is fair.
Tasteless. Cleverly designed and executed, but tasteless.
Private property
I'm waiting for heads to start exploding, lol. Will be interesting to hear why this isn't as cute as the hanging Sarah display.
I just wish I’d have thought of it first.
This is nothing compared to what Chicago will look like on Tues. nite.
Word on the street is:
If he wins, they will only burn cars.
If he loses, they will burn down buildings!
and Bush\McCain are stupid enough to rebuild them.
Disgusting and unacceptable.
I can’t imagine a rational political motive. Whether crafted by an irrational opponent or a clever by 1/2 supporter, the sentiment is disgraceful.
Good for the goose........
Tasteless and inexcusable—but legal.
I thought the same of the Palin effigy, but this goes a few steps further in being disgusting.
When ya think folks can’t go any lower...
It was taken down after the Secret Service showed up.
Did the SS act on the Palin effigy?
