Thanks to Raging for the tip.
Hate crimes that aren’t called hate crimes are a very lucrative endeavor these days, it seems.
Remember the Halloween effigies of Sarah Palin hanging by her neck and John McCain aflame?
Well you to can bid on these non-hate objects right here on Ebay. Why, I’ll bet this listing is bringing great playground giggles, “I mean, you know“s and “Like Helllooooooo“s from the non women’s movement Lady Clairol staff over at Ms. Magazine and NOW.
But hurry. Somebody with a name full of asterisks has already bid a thousand dollars for this “political memorabilia” –and John and Sarah lost the election. Imagine how much a display of Obama hanging and Biden with a flaming rag stuffed in his big mouth would have fetched– right after the perpetrator got out of jail for such a similar non-hate crime.
The seller, who apparently is punctuation-impaired and didn’t learn about beginning sentences with capital letters in 1st grade– except as they apply to shouting– has this to say:
AS SEEN ON THE TODAY SHOW, INSIDE EDITION, THE VIEW, FOX NEWS, KEITH OLBERMAN, EVERY MAJOR NEWS NETWORK, AND READ ABOUT IN EVERY NEWSPAPER WORLDWIDE, the world famous, controversial, sarah palin halloween display is currently on ebay!
the mannequinn is a patina-v mannequin. outfitted with the original neiman marcus red vintage coat and tortoise-shell framed glasses,this is surely something not to be missed! along with the sarah palin halloween display, we are also going to include a larger-than-life john mc cain political propaganda head poster. the head is 4 feet tall and 40″ at its widest. \
this amazing piece of political memorabilia could now be yours!

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
I really don’t understand the hatred. Why can’t these people let go of it? Why does Ebay allow this????
I was channel surfing the radio the other day in the car. All talk radio was abuzz about the plane crash in the Hudson River except one. The one exception was Randi Rhodes – she was busy spewing hate about Bush. “He’s a freak…he should be arrested….on and on and on.”
Why are these people so full of hate? What is wrong with them? It just doesn’t seem normal.
Randi Rhoades is still on the radio somewhere? I think some of it is vengeance against Clinton being impeached. Not that they like Clinton because he’s not a looney liberal, but because they have to win at all costs. There isn’t “proof” of the evils Bush did unless there’s a trial, and a perp walk, a jail sentence and a Saddam style execution.
Another letter in our paper about Sarah palling around with drug dealers–her unconvicted mother-in-law to be…Big woo–leave this woman alone to be a mere governor. What’s it to ya?
Mexico’s Calderon is more of a drug dealer than Johnston, and Obama met with him.
P4 I don’t think anybody cares about Clinton impeachment anymore. those with terminal BDS are sicko’s that want to burn everything EXCEPT Obama. they’d like to burn history too so that nothing existed pre-Obama. just purify & make the ground holy for the ONE in prep for the O’genesis (don’t let Mary see this).
Why is it antebellum hoop skirts on white chics are hate symbols according to NAACP, but hangin a white woman in effigy is okie dokie? I can’t believe Bobbie Rush & Al Sharpton have nothing to say about this kind lynching. racist lynching not equal to misogynist lynching? Bobby Rush just last week said “no hangin, lynchin or castigatin”. where’s the justice?

Interesting that they’re advertising it as “political memorabilia” when they claimed at the time that it was NOT a political statement but only a halloween display. The national chapter of NOW and others may not have cared but actually the Hollywood chapter did contact the “artists” to get them to remove it and tried to give their statement of outrage against it to media outlets, but they were ignored.
imust, NOW sent their own Palin/McCain trick or treat goodies to those on their email list: http://www.now.org/issues/election/elections2008/halloween/halloween_rich.html
check out the Palin costume.
Oh I agree raGing, NOW in general is worthless. I was just pointing out that there are a few individuals who had the courage to speak out, Shelly Mandell, president of the L.A. chapter is another example. Sad that they are the exception rather than the rule.
As a black person, I am outraged at the behavior of these so-called black leaders for not speaking out about this hatred. If you want to know the truth, the way I see it, these black leaders are worse than the KKK and white supremists. They are doing the very things that blacks have been accusing whites of doing. what a bunch of hypocrits and racists! Yes, I said it (A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS AND RACISTS) who should be ashamed of themselves. the only thing that they have been doing these past two years, is exploiting their own race and preying on their ignorance. If this would have been BHO and his wife hanging and burning, most of the country would still be talking about it and would have blasted Ebay. So much for CHANGE!
Allseeingi82, thank you. My daughter (a die-hard Democrat) may never forgive me for voting “the other ticket” this time around, in defense of women’s rights and particularly BECAUSE of ugly, shameful displays like this.
There were others, like a NY artist creating a likeness of Palin so visitors could “pretend to kill” her. A link from the conservative blog Woman Honor Thyself has the story and disgusting pic. Read some comments with it. Uppity had this, too=

What’s the difference between this and other hate displays? Nothing.
It’s “only a WOMAN?” Anyone using that argument has already lost. Someday, my daughter will understand this.
I hear he hung with Mayor Fenty in DC and went to a restaurant and calculatedly lapsed into ebonics. Now, I am sure, Fenty think’s he in the “in” crowd–watch out for that bus looming over ya.
Defending Sarah – Fox News:
Quite typical of anyone unable to launch a logical argument against the merits of another, to succomb to personal attacks. Such a poor reflection on the attacker. The stronger the denigration, the more pathetic these people come off. Doesn’t Ebay have a policy about listings like these? If not, then they look pretty bad too.
That’s nice cats, but since they have started to return to Trash Hillary mode, I’m not watching them either.
Fox is trashing Hillary??? This is going to be a long 4 years.
I will tell you this, I will lift a finger for those who lift a finger for Hillary. If that ends, my support ends. Quid pro quo.
Which is another reason I sneer at anyone who tells me I don’t support women when I don’t support Caroline. Did SHE support the woman in the primaries. Screw her.
amen!!!!!!!!!!!11
EBAY has a report form for violations (hate crime) such as this listing.
http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportItemMember&items=330300536294&seller=neverbeforeneveragain&active=1&state=1
I found it – it is item #330300536294 if you want to report it. I’m about to myself. It’s listed for $1,000.00 starting bid.
Done did.
Thanks!
Sarah Palin supported Hillary more than most of the leaders of the Democratic party.

Too late, raGing. Bwahahahaha!
To Everyone on this Ebay auction. It is a listing which would be banned if everyone here reported it as such. You mush take the number and report it under Prohibited and Banned Items for being hateful and discriminatory.
If you know anyone who has an Ebay account, have them tag it.
This is gross.
Done mcnorman

I just reported it too. Yes mcnorman, we all have to report this crap en masse. Not only is it gross, disgusting, in extremely bad taste, it also promotes
the very thing Hillary and Uppity and Lynn Forrester
and well, all of us, are so much against= crimes against WOMEN.
Since the ears are useless now, I rely on visual cues. There’s nothing I need to hear to SEE this crap is wrong.
Still, ebay has NOT removed the item from listings.
I reported it last night and got a similar response. I just went to Ebay this am (for another reason) and was presented with this listing in the “Ebay Recommends…” section. So, it is still there.
Get a screenshot before it’s taken down.
If you send the sller a question, you might get his email address.
