Imagine for a moment that you have an opportunity to pretend you are killing Sarah Palin. Would you do it? Would it be cool with your morals? After all, it's only imaginary. Well an artist in New York City has thought all this through and decided that shooting Sarah or her daughter Piper might just be great fun. This woman has made it possible for passersby to line up with a gun and pretend they are doing just that. What's the harm? It's only make believe. Right.
NYC Museum Exhibit 'Pokes Fun' at Palin
Visitors can don a fake-fur vest and hold a cardboard rifle to pose with the vice-presidential candidate and her daughter.The artwork called "A Photo Op with Sarah Palin" opened last month at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition.
Artist Dawn Robyn Petrlik says humor is sometimes the best way to deal with serious issues like images of the governor celebrating her kill. The artist says the sight bothers her and clashes with Palin's "pro-life stance."
The piece costs $12,500, but getting a picture taken is free.
Noticeably absent from this description is the fact that onlookers are offered the opportunity to pick up a gun and pretend that they are actually hunting Sarah. Isn't that quaint?
Have a look.
Now think for just a minute. Would behavior like this be tolerated if the image was of Barack Obama and his family, and patrons were offered the opportunity to shoot him and them? Or maybe someone put up a noose and made it possible to pretend you were lynching Obama?
Of course not.
There would be massive protests, likely violent led by ACORN. The media would be all over this in a heartbeat. The artist would be ostracized and labeled a racist. The gallery would be shut down. And the Obama campaign would be calling for the artist to be prosecuted for a hate crime. Rightfully so.
But a woman? Shooting a woman is just fine with everyone it seems. After all, it's just "poking fun" as the article suggests. And the potential to kill an innocent child, well that's just icing on the cake.
“Or maybe someone put up a noose and made it possible to pretend you were lynching Obama?”
Been done for Halloween, got yanked almost immediately.
Double standard, hypocrisy or a scary glimpse into the average liberal mind?
Pick one.

This is just the beginning. Imagine if Obama wins what kind of things will be available for the Democrats? We will pine for the days that it was just a sidewalk game. I fear that they will be arresting us, imprisoning us or just outright killing us like their counterparts did to the Jews in Germany
Wonder what the secret service makes of this.
Where is the Secret Service? Or like the FBI,
do they only work now for Democrats and Obama?
I am furious that they would do this to a Governor and I don’t understand how this is not being investigated by the Secret Service.
Not only that, I would go to jail. I would go straight to jail because I would take that gun and rip the hell out of that picture and set.
1. Dawn Petrlik didn't even know Sarah Palin's name 7 weeks ago. In less than two months, Palin has reduced this woman to a drooling, gibbering pinwheels-for-eyes barking moonbat.
2. The Secret Service is going to be all over this like a cheap suit.
Does the Secret Service operate in NYC?
If so, why is this abhorrent thing still there?
I'm sure Dawn will be finding out, presently. Then there'll be another article about how little Dawnie's "free speech rights" were trampled upon...
I lay the blame for this directly at the feet of the MSM. They deliberately cover up things like this while at the same time completely distort anything a conservative does.
Police Rule Out Racism In Dead Bear Found With Obama Signs
The bear’s carcass was discovered Monday on the campus of Western Carolina University.
Thursday, October 23, 2008
(UPI) – Authorities say a dead bear found on a North Carolina college campus covered in Obama For President signs was not a racially or politically motivated incident.
The bear’s carcass was discovered Monday on the campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., and was initially thought to be political threat directed toward Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Barack Obama, WHNS-TV, Greenville, S.C., reported Wednesday.
But police have determined that rather than a message to the U.S. senator from Illinois, it was merely a prank gone bad. Citing unnamed police sources, the station said investigators were told seven student pranksters found the bear carcass alongside a road and used the Obama signs to stop its blood from making a mess in their vehicle, since the signs were the only materials on hand.
No charges had been filed because police were still consulting with the local district attorney, WHNS-TV reported.
This assassination practice site
for a US VP Candidate must not be taken
seriously by the Secret Service.
Yet it is much more serious than the missing
camera of Angelina Jolie that the Secret
Service took quite seriously and sent agents
to recover.
It won't be just like that. Some of us have learned from their mistakes and won't peacefully give up our guns first.
The title for this thread is appropriate.
No friggin way!
So the Obamamites want to turn this country into a third world bloodbath.
Neoliberalism truly is a mental disorder.
.
They want the same things from us that Islam does: Convert, submit or die.
