Some jackass in Ohio hung an effigy of Barack Obama from a tree as a Halloween ghost. Here is an excerpt from WKRC TV's website:
Lunsford, who spoke to Local 12's Shawn Ley spoke isn't shy about his views.
The make-shift ghost hangs from a noose above an"McCain-Palin" sign. A Barack Obama sign attached upside down. Obama's middle name: "Hussein" spray painted and misspelled above.Mike Lunsford hung the ghost in his yard. He spoke to us off-camera, saying his views could hurt his employers business ... but he says make no mistake: He doesn't want an African American running the country.
Lunsford says he believes Barack Obama is not a "full blooded American." And he says the United States is a white, Christian nation - and only with white Christians should be in power.
Watch the local TV station report below or read more on the Huffington Post (where one commenter even posted Mike Lunsford's address and phone number).
Wow! This is why I live in the city.
Greg Howard, a Marianna Florida middle-school teacher has been suspended for 10 days without pay after he wrote a racially charged interpretation of a commonly used phrase in the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.
While some parents and community activists were outraged by the actions of Greg Howard, Jackson County NAACP officials want to gather more facts before the group considers taking action. But some parents feel Howard should be fired.
Larry Moore, deputy superintendent for the Jackson County School District, said school officials determined Howard wrote an acronym with an explanation on a dry-erase board in his class Sept. 26 at Marianna Middle School.
It said:
C.H.A.N.G.E. — Come Help A (N-word) Get Elected.
Howard, who's been teaching in the district for 17 years, wrote the comment during his seventh-grade social-studies class that included 17 white students, six black students and one Asian.
