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.

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.

Hey comRATs!

a 12 Pack of empty ‘Billy Beer’ found near by.
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 .
