Did anyone see the photo of the West Hollywood residents who decided that their Halloween decor would include an effigy of Sarah Palin hanging from a noose?

Can you only imagine if someone had decided to hang an Obama in this manner?

It is truly frightening that this display is acceptable to some because they disagree with the woman’s politics. Is that all it takes to make a woman “deserve it” now? We are going BACKWARDS, folks. Our pushback must be LOUD and INSTANT.

Please resolve to speak out when you hear a snide crack or hostile remark – we must let the people in our lives know that this is unacceptable….

Come on! I love Terry Tate but this is pretty bad. In no way should a incumbent for VP be depicted like that, man or woman. But let’s face the facts…… CBS is a disgusting liberal organization that is probably loving this and won’t put up a big stink about a Republican being hurt (real or fake).

I am an Obama supporter, and I loved the old Terry Tate commercials, and I loathe the fraud that is being sold on us that the Governor of Alaska could be the president if needed…. but.

This is not funny. I understand satire, but if you made a video of a white dude taking Barack out, it would be investigated by the FBI. Whoever made this, you’re not helping.

“Is her sexy appearance indication that she was “asking for it”?”

He tackled her because she was sexually assaulting the poor guy.

Arnell Group made the spots with Terry Tate and Reebok bought one of them for one Superbowl season.

I spoke with Miriam Franklin of Arnell today and she about snapped my head off demanding to know whether I was from the “Palin campaign” before she gave any info about her client who created and owns the Terry Tate character.

I have asked him to respond and am waiting.

I still think Reebok needs to put out a disclaimer that they have nothing to do with this new ad campaign.
