Students Confess To Hanging Obama in Effigy

[oregonpackfan]

Four George Fox students confessed to hanging a life-sized cutout of Barrack Obama from a tree on George Fox University grounds in Newberg, Oregon last week. At the bottom of the cutout read the sign "Act Six Reject."

The Act Six Reject is a scholarship program directed towards Portland minority students--most of them African-American.

The small university of 3,300 was originally founded by the Quakers. It has evolved into a conservative, evangelical Christian college in recent years. Almost all of the students are white.

The four students were suspended from the school for a year. They will be allowed to re-enroll after they have provided community service.

Idiots. Maybe they can do community service for ACORN. It would be sweet justice if they had to work for the same fraudulent community group that supports Obama, may he be praised.

"Acorn and its affiliates have pulled some real stunts in recent years. In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a Congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained Acorn's practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier."

These "perpetrators" will land on their feet. Having this little expression of free speech on their resumes will help them in a lot of venues.

And who is it that gives to ACORN? Corporate fat cats.....Wall Street Greed!!!!

The top four donors to these 527 groups in the last Presidential election cycle (2004) were Soros, Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, Steven Bing, and Herbert and Marion Sandler . Collectively they gave 78 million dollars to left-leaning 527 groups. That was just in 2004. They have become much more ambitious over the last few years.


Soros, Lewis, and the Sandlers form a core group of billionaire activists and Democrat partisans who have formed a group called The Democracy Alliance. They realized that they could magnify their power by working in unison and tapping other wealthy donors to further their agenda (the superb Boston Globe article "Follow the money" is a good primer on how money and 527 groups have come together to have a huge impact on politics in America).


The Democracy Alliance is a major avenue to help them achieve their goals. The roster of its growing membership consists of a list of billionaires and mere multi-millionaires who collectively hope to give upwards of 500 million dollars each year to further promote a left-wing agenda. A partial roster of the Democracy Alliance membership can be found here.


Half a billion dollars a year can purchase a great deal of influence.


The Sandlers certainly know quite a bit about leverage from their savings and loan days.


Among the beneficiaries of their largesse: Air America, ACORN (a group that has very close and long lasting ties to Barack Obama and has a long history of engaging in voter fraud. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (basically a private detective group focused on the private faults and foibles of Republicans), Media Matters, a media watchdog group that engages in harsh partisan attacks against media figures and articles it considers supportive of Republicans). The list goes on and on.

Gee, if I didn't know better I'd almost think you were relishing that possibility.

What makes you think you know better?

If these perps are not merely pranksters, then these guys are PATRIOTS--making a POLITICAL STATEMENT, as, of course, is their Constitutional Right--just like when the American-haters of your side, Hoosier, do things like burning flags.

Expressing disrespect for a disrespecter of America, in my book, is a good and patriotic thing to do. I'm sure you see that differently, though, don't you, Hoosier? Disrespect for America is good; Hanging effiegies of those trying to bring America down, that's a bad thing--if you're a sick leftist, anyway.

What these kids did was not a political statement at all, it was an unmistakable reference to the racist tradition of lynching, something that no politician or political group could afford to associate with today. Ayn Rand tries to relativize it by pointing to alleged corruption of Obama supporters (as if the two crimes were some how comparable), and you try to spin it by calling it "hanging in effigy." Your "hanging those trying to bring America down" was the same justification used by those who liked to hang blacks for real. Is that your cultural heritage?

That is the maliciously false connotation of this that you and other leftist extremists who support Obama are promoting. Has their "confession" included anything "racist"? Do you have any evidence whatsoever of anything racist?

This is condemnation of an extreme leftist anti-American politician, pure and simple--every bit as much Constitutionally protected POLITICAL expression as when the filthy American-hating assholes of your side burned American flags and did similarly vile things, and got away with it as "political expression". I suppose you thought that was OK.

Yeah, I guess you're right, it's probably just a coincidence that the hanging of an image of Obama from a tree bears such a resemblance to lynching. Just like it's a coincidence that the hangers also referred to a minority recruitment program. What fair-minded person could possibly conclude they don't like blacks? It's much more likely that they were just denigrating a political opponent. I know I have seven or eight images of John McCain hanging in my backyard.

The other day I saw someone with a Jewish figurine in their back yard building a pyramid. Tex you cant play dumb for ever. That was very specifically a racist statement.

I didn't relativize anything. What is it other than hanging (or even lynching) in effigy? pretty awful - and I called them idiots. I do think that considering they were suspended and given community service it would be justice to force them to work for a corrupt community activist group. What community work would you have them do? . Doesn't the left celebrate when reformed drug users go and talk to the youth about the hazards of drug use? Perhaps after their punishment in whatever community service, these recovering racists can outreach to members of the Trinity church, Obama willing.

When they start hanging representations of public figures from trees in a manner that suggests historical lynching, maybe...

[bobblehead]

These idiots do a disservice to all the leftists that do this kind of thing and try to blame "rascist conservatives". By actually being rascist conservatives they damage the 87% statistic.
