Is it “just art” when you hang someone in effigy? Leaving aside the question of whether it is art at all, it certainly is not just art. According to the news report:
A Halloween decoration showing a mannequin dressed as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of a West Hollywood home is drawing giggles from some passers-by and gasps of outrage from others.
Chad Michael Morisette is responsible for the display and says “it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It’s Halloween, it’s time to be scary it’s time to be spooky.”
Morisette acknowledges that hanging Obama in effigy would be a very different kind of thing. But hey, it’s October, it’s a Republican, it’s a woman . . .
