Shocker: Sarah Palin HANGED in West Hollywood – NOT a Hate Crime

The Los Angeles Times reports: Effigy of Sarah Palin hanging by a noose creates uproar in West Hollywood
Los Angeles sheriff’s officials say the Halloween display isn’t a hate crime. Authorities are keeping an eye on the house to make sure the situation doesn’t get out of hand.

A West Hollywood Halloween display showing a likeness of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin hanging by a noose has caused a furor among some residents who reported it as a hate crime, authorities said Monday.

But Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said the mannequin sporting a beehive hairdo, glasses and a red coat does not rise to the level of a hate crime because it was part of a Halloween display.

“I’m not defending this; I’m not criticizing it. It doesn’t rise to the level of hate crime,” said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who said he went out to the house himself to look at the display this morning.

“Now, if there was a crime against bad taste . . . “

Sgt. Kristin Aloma of the Sheriff’s Department’s West Hollywood station said that since Sunday she had received five to 10 calls from residents offended by the display. Officials are monitoring the house to make sure the situation doesn’t get out of hand, she said.

Certainly, this display is NOT a hate crime even though the gay idiots who thought the display was art are MORONS.

The Secret Service is reportedly investigating but that is perfunctory.

Flap is positive that the gay community in West Hollywood with an important vote on gay marriage – California Proposition 8 –  coming up in a week would have preferred less focus on their communities’ hatred of Sarah Palin and John McCain. The Mayor of West Hollywood has strongly objected to the display.

Also, interesting will be whether the MSM will cover the annual West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval and how many men will be dressed as Sarah Palin?

Flap bets you don’t see much coverage this year.
