Maryland Mayor Refuses to Remove Halloween Display NAACP Calls 'Disturbing' (Libtard Alert!!!!)
FOxnews ^ | 10/30/2009 | Staff

Posted on 10/30/2009 12:39:34 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The mayor of Frederick, Md., says a controversial Halloween display featuring three faceless dummies hanging from a willow tree will remain at a city park, despite complaints from the NAACP.

Guy Djoken, president of Frederick County's NAACP chapter, has called on Mayor Jeff Holtzinger to order parks officials to remove the display, which he calls "disturbing."

"Something should be done right away," Djoken told FoxNews.com. "When you look from a distance, it doesn't look good. We should just remove it."

Just tell them it’s Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, and Rush Limbaught.

Hanging Sarah Palin effigies were applauded in the media last Halloween.

with our history of lynchings...and just cause it is disgusting, why in God’s name would anyone think that is funny?

Racial or not, its disgusting..unless of course you think hanging people is funny.

I think ANY hanging effigy is pretty disgusting. The most common places you see these is in the Arab countries when they demonstrate against the US. No way, it is funny.

The dummy in the picture appears to be white. I sure hope they had a black dummy and a Hispanic dummy. Otherwise, the display would be racist.

I kind of agree. ‘hanging”, or the appearance of hanging, isn’t a spooks and ghosties kind of thing, has nothing to do with Halloween, and anyone who can’t see the political implications of this is a moron.

So where do we draw the line?

I see front yard graves with hands coming out of them. That might offend someone who just lost a loved one.

How about blood dripping from a mask? That could scare kids.

If it was up to some people, we should all walk around in uniforms like they had in Star Trek so nobody is offended at anything.

Yeah, that picture is so funny!

hanging was not meant to be funny, it was a violent death, regardless of black or white..having hanging effigies says more about the persons doing that..I just wonder what type of person would find it funny? Great for the kiddies too!

The hilarious part of this is that white people just react in defense of something ugly just BECAUSE blacks are offended. Now that makes sense( not).

Well, there is the context thing to consider. If Halloween doesn’t get you going, just label the figures “Jeffrey Dahmer”, “John Wayne Gacy”, and “Ted Bundy.” Or you could use a political context, such as “Nancy Pelosi”, “Harry Reid”, and “Olympia Snowe.”

Some activist hung Frank Kratovil in effigy outside his office a month or so ago? Is that verboten as well, considering how painfully politicians of both parties seem to be screwing us?

That's actually not a bad idea, considering what the women wore in the original series.

Yes, of course, let’s all rush to defend hanging effigies —which are wary more powerful than scairy masks—because after all, Black people complained.

I do not see this complaint as just some typical PC kind of over the top whining...I would be upset to see this and I am not black.

My post from a duplicate thread...

The dummy looks like a faceless white guy to me.

I'm not sure WHO, exactly, because, well, you know, they all look alike to me.

What is more scary than Halloween itself is the fact that people buy into this nonsense.

This PC crap has got to stop.

And YOU are missing the point...hanging is a part of our culture with lynchings , whether we want to admit that or not and it also is a part of a sadistic, violent culture of Mideast terrorists.

So it is JUST a little different than other Halloween things.

That's your opinion...to me, a body hanging from a tree is a scary image.

In fact, it's a classic scary image as old as human history.

Hence the reason why people do these displays during Halloween.

Doesn't bother me at all...to me this is just people being overly sensitive as usual.

Dude its Halloween...If they did this on MLK day, you'd have a point. The perpetually offended need to just STFU.

Instead of wasting time pissing and moaning about a dummie that will be gone by Monday; this tard should try do something constructive, like go to Chicago and try and help curb the destructive violence there among inner city youths. Children killing children, now that's sh!t that's really disturbing. But I doubt he cares, he's too busy looking in trees for racists.

.....all told there were about a 1000 lynchings in the US mostly around 1900...I have no doubt that some of them needed lynching...people like the Davidson brothers in Knoxville, I’d personally put a rope around their neck and sleep like a baby...maybe the Maryland NAACP ought to worry less about unlawful executions of 100 years ago, and worry more about the 200-250 blacks a year that are shot to death in Baltimore.

How do you know that a lynching is being depicted, and not a legal execution? I’ve seen electrocution displays at Halloween events.

It reminds me of a party we had one year the folks were out of town.
One of my brothers used to make these life size dummies. Had a couple in Black Daliah fashion in the front yard, another under the wheels of a parked car.

Saw the cops poking around the front yard about 3 AM.
........good times..........
