Well I guess it matters who you are.

It was ok when a Palin likeness was hanged but now that someone has hanged a likeness of Obama they get arrested.

Who would have thought that!

While both situations are in extremely bad taste, & taking into account the special significance of hanging black men in effigy brings to mind (due to our racial history in this country), I do not feel that the sicko's that did either act should have been arrested.
It still is a free country & you should still be free to be a jerk if you want! (as long as you are not injuring someone else or taking away their rights or property)
