Not that anyone has ever accused most Jerseyites of being the brightest bulbs in the lamp, but somehow this seems a tad much....

Cheryl and David Maines' son had apparently created a Halloween display featuring a dummy (no, not Duhbya Bush or Michael Savage) hanging from a noose--a fate many dummies have endured for quite a number of Halloweens, usually with little complaint from either the dummies or the startled citizenry. It is, after all, Halloween, right?

Well, some dummies did complain this time; apparently, displaying a simulated hanging corpse as a Halloween decoration has now become racist in New Jersey. Head Big Dummy (and Madison Mayor) Ellwood "Woody" Kerkeslager, after being told of this ghoulish display, said "the appearance and the suggestion (of racism) is there, and it's inappropriate." Many other dummies also seemed to be able to detect racism from this pseudo corpse as well; maybe they're the same ones who can see the Virgin Mary in a water stain on a leaking ceiling or claim to have witnessed the holy rictus of Jesus on someone's bunion.

From a photo I saw, there was no indication of the faux corpse's race or even gender...simply a cloaked (as required in the Hangman's Rulebook, Article 3, sub-paragraph 4b) figure called into action as a decorative festival ornament. In any event, hanging is hardly associated with blacks only; Washington and New Hampshire still allow hanging as an option for the death penalty, and any casual follower of Western lore undoubtedly knows that more whites than any other race met their demise on the gallows.

Heck, could we say that BushCo, Ltd. is racist because they set in motion the events that led to the hanging of Saddam Hussein? Of course not (at least not with a straight face), but it's a fun thought and possibly true anyway--who knows?

Obviously, PC has run amok in Madison, NJ, impaling common-sense with a rusted machete.

In any event, read this chilling and horrible tale here, if you dare: http://www.nj.com/starledger/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-12/1192509993309380.xml&coll=1

I say if we gotta hang anything this Halloween, please let's make it this disgusting Political Correctness creature....

I guess I will have to be careful when hanging my white sheets out to dry on the clothes line. Not to mention what I HANG from the branches of my XMAS tree this year. Note, I used XMAS not CHRISTmas tree. I didn't want to offfend anyone.

Good God. I suppose the Haunted Mansion at Disney is also racist seeing as how the last thing you see before leaving the stretching room is that corpse swinging from a rope. REEEEEdiculous.

Oh my God, I just remembered, last year I HUNG a gingerbread man from my HOLIDAY (christmas) Tree. I could have been charged with a hate crime.

redstatesusa: Another Liberal Noose-ance


By: Ann Coulter

Liberals are so invigorated by the story about a noose being found on an obscure Columbia University professor's door that now nooses are popping up all over New York City. Liberals love to make believe the Night Riders are constantly at their doors.

I'll be shocked by a noose appearing on a college campus the day an actual racist does it.

Could Columbia at least produce one student or professor who supports racism before holding another "rally against racism"? Every concrete example of the racism allegedly sweeping the nation's campuses keeps turning out to be a fraud. Far from "institutional racism," there is "institutional racial hoaxism" run amok in this country. Will anyone rally against that?

Out of legions, here are just a few hoax hate crimes on college campuses.

-- In 1997, at Duke University, a black doll was found hanging by a noose from a tree at the precise spot where the Black Student Alliance was to be holding a rally against racism. Two black students later admitted they were the culprits and were immediately praised for bringing attention to the problem of racism on campus. Indeed, four years later the president of Duke gave a baccalaureate address nostalgically describing the hoax as a "protest" against racism. Next stop: the Nobel Peace Prize.

-- In 2003, vile racial epithets were scrawled on the dorm room doors at Ole Miss, producing mass protests and a "Say No to Racism" march. And then it turned out the graffiti had been written by black students, against whom no charges were brought. A "Say Yes to Racism" rally at Ole Miss was later canceled due to lack of interest.

-- In 2005, obscenity-laced racist and anti-Semitic messages appeared on dormitory walls at the College of Wooster in Ohio. The fliers were instantly blamed on "typical white males," even though all the letter I's in the epithets were dotted with little hearts. Breadcrumbs left by the culprits included the message "Vote Goldwater" among the obscenities. The matter was dropped and flushed down the memory hole when the perpetrators turned out to be a group of leftist students led by a black studies major.

-- Just this year, anti-Muslim fliers were put out on the George Washington University campus -- by leftists, including a member of "Iraq Veterans Against War." When it was thought the leaflets were from the conservative group Young Americans For Freedom, the dean called for the expulsion of the culprits and the university demanded that YAF officers sign a statement disavowing "hate speech." But when it turned out leftists had distributed the fliers, the matter was dropped faster than Larry Craig was dropped from Mitt Romney's campaign.

The one real example of racism on a college campus in recent memory was perpetrated against white men of the Duke lacrosse team. As that injustice was being perpetrated, gender and ethnic professors at Duke kept droning on about the "racism and sexism" students "live with every day" -- as the professors put it in an open letter that falsely presumed the players were guilty of rape. We don't expect a rally against the prejudiced professors, but an apology might be nice.

Playing the game of He Who Is Offended First Wins, Americans seek status not by claiming to be rich or of royal lineage, but by portraying themselves as victims. In one recent hoax hate crime, a white woman professor at Claremont McKenna College said her car had been vandalized with racist and anti-Semitic graffiti, with the words "Shut Up!" spray-painted on the hood of her car.

She was not black or Jewish, but had recently converted to Judaism and spoke out against racism. So she was a victim! After the vandalism of her car, she promptly became Queen for a Day. Far from "silenced," this anonymous mountebank was given a national microphone to bore us with her race-gender-culture theories. The campus was shut down for a day for anti-racism rallies in the charlatan's honor. Then eyewitnesses identified her as the one who had spray-painted her own car, and the pity party was over.

These liberal racism-hunters are like dirty old men who spend their days poring through pornography in order to better denounce it -- but enough about the Warren court.

Assuming against all reason and experience that the Columbia noose is not another hoax by a high-status victim, how is it that a pimply adolescent can cause such tumult in liberal New York City?

Liberals claim to believe the Klan has established a beachhead at Columbia University, Bill O'Reilly is head of the Manhattan branch, Rush Limbaugh despises the troops, I'm planning a pogrom from the heart of Manhattan, and George Bush is establishing fascism in America.

Some anonymous liberal hag on Air America Radio, which no one knew was still on the air, fell down outside her Park Avenue apartment this week, and her liberal colleagues were claiming it was Kristallnacht.

If it rains after a liberal washes his car, they say it's a right-wing dirty trick.

Liberals love nothing more than these constant self-righteous-athons -- as if they would ever have the courage to stand up for any cause not universally supported by everyone around them.

Its like Americans got stupid overnite. Down the road some fellow made a halloween graveyard around an oak tree with an ugly witch slammed into the base of the tree. Is this a statement about ugly people needing to die? People have always put out these kinds of decorations.

Anyone care to decipher or justify this longwinded diatribe which has everything to do with hating a make believe group the author defines as, "liberals," and practically nothing to do with the topic (except for the noose part)?

Just for curiousity's sake I checked the demographics for Madison, NJ expecting, for some reason, to find a predominantly minority-based population (Washington, DC for example is only 35% white) and found quite the opposite! Madison has an 89% white population. Must be lingering Yankee feelings of guilt for all the evils and atrocities performed by us evil southerners!!!! In any event, how bizarre!!!!

============================================


It may be babble to you and others but she is yaking all the way to the bank. Somebody must like her, she is making millions. If she didn't have the gift of gab she wouldn't be making so much $$$$$$$$. I am sure if she was doing all of this from the left viewpoint, with leftist talking points, she would be one of your favs.

Coulter is a clever opportunist playing conservative white men by telling you what you want to hear. Coulter and Michael Moore are 2 peas in a pod. I don't care for either one. And I resent both for making money by contributing to our nation's further division by producing hate-inspired fantasy observations and drawing unfounded conclusions from them. You'reproving yourelf as nothing more than another Coulter dupe. Coulter's laughing all the way to the bank alright. And the laughs are on you for buying the very crap which Coulter already knows is purely BS.

She has never gotten a cent from me. I like to see a woman speak up and trash the elites. Nothing like taking on the powerful and putting them in their place. Its like she is another Wal Mart for the left to bash. I can't figure the left out. There is not one bit of difference between Wal Mart and Target. They both do business almost the same way. Same wages, benefits, sell the same stuff, mostly from China----BUT, Wal Mart is SATAN and Target is GOD. Confuses the hell out of me. When you ask the left what the difference is, they make up crap about both that is nothing but lies, and can't back it up with facts just more B/S.

Coulter never, "trashes the elite." So you must be thinking of someone else. On the other hand Coulter praises Bush and the wealthier conservatives which most Americans consider, "the elite." Coulter consistently puts women down for holding power positions in business and government. And Oh. So now, according to you, I am supposed to hate Wal-Mart? Hah! I totally love Wal-Mart and so do most people I know on both the left and right. You are way too caught up in stereotypes. Here's a news flash for you dudes: "Liberals," celebrate July 4th, Thanksgiving, and other American holidays just like regular people do. They also enlist in the military and get their asses shot off in Iraq. Our blood's all the same color whether you can deal with that or not. The only reason you can't, "understand," "liberals," is because, "liberals," per your definition are a mythical, non-existent, people intentionally designed by you and yours to be a mass of mixed signals. What I don't understand is why you and others insist upon further dividing this nation rather than tuning in to our similarities.

Sorry to disturb the proceedings...especially with something that is fairly filthy and graphic, but que sera, sera, eh? If you're already feeling creepy from just looking at the URL, for gawd's sake don't click the thing.
But I believe it fits the Unbelievable heading nicely.

You have been warned.

Dawg, what could have ever posessed you to spend the time digging up that piece of vile garbage, much less haul it back for show and tell? Scuse me while I go take a shower.

Hey, it's got it all...vintage Penthouse Forum style porn-writing, refs to Norm Chomsky and a few other semi-interesting pop-culture phenoms and even some half-literate political debate. Plus, you know you laughed a couple times. Admit it.

And really...what could be scarier for a Halloween type thread? Well, except for maybe a duet with Dice and Ann reciting lewd nursery rhymes.
