A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said the agency is investigating an effigy of President Barack Obama found hanging from a building in the Georgia hometown of former President Jimmy Carter.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told The Associated Press that the large black doll was found Saturday morning along Main Street in the small town of Plains.

According to footage from WALB-TV, the doll was hanging by a noose in front of a red, white and blue sign that says "Plains, Georgia. Home of Jimmy Carter, our 39th President." A witness told the television station that the doll wore a sign with Obama's name on it.

“Jimmy did it”

No way! Jimmy is ecstatic, thanks to Barry, that he is no longer the worst President in U.S. history.

Hanging and burning effigies has a long history in US and European protests—back hundreds of years.

Flashback:

ANDERSON — Anderson police discovered Thursday that a black girl at Anderson High School was responsible for what police had labeled a “hate crime” against blacks.

The 15-year-old girl wrote racist comments and drew symbols, such as “K.K.K.” and Nazi crosses, that were “directed toward her race” on five pieces of 8½-by-11-inch paper on Wednesday, Capt. Robert Kirvin said.

I don’t think its right to hang anyone in effigy. It just bothers me, no matter who it is. It is the highest form of disrespect. There has got to be a better way to express disapproval.

If this for real it is VERY UGLY. My second thought is this is an ugly game and someone is trying to distract us and make us look in the other direction and NOT LOOK at Congress and Obama as they come back from vacation.

“Is it illegal to hang Obama in effigy? I bet it’s not.”

I never liked ‘hate crimes’...and this is why. Probably could get convicted of something (unless you’re muslim).

Watch them milk the crap out of this one.

They will, bank on it. But to what gain? Because some disturbed person does something weird to get attention, a tide of sympathy is going to rise up for Obama that will negate 10%+ unemployment, real terrorist threats, a health care bill no one wants, unconstitutional czars and an administration filled with freaks and crooks?

Nope.

I totally agree.

It’s the hypocrisy by the left which amazes me.

For 8 years they went after bush in vile ways and then after Sarah but now someone has done this to their cult leader they’re going all mad .
