Ask yourself what the media and public reaction would be if this were about Barack Obama.
Seriously.
An artist in New York has set up an exhibit that features cardboard cutouts of Sarah Palin and her youngest daughter. It’s of Palin killing a caribou. The caribou is a three dimensional stuffed animal with its guts splattered out of it.
Here’s the catch:
People can join the ‘photo-op’ by donning a vest and gun. The artist admits in the video link that many of the visitors shoot Sarah Palin.
But that’s okay. She’s just a she, not the first black man to run for President.
That makes it all okay.

And Obama condemns Ayers? Right.
Jumpedship (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 2:21PM EST (link)**Barack Obama doesn’t condemn Bill Ayers actions. We know that. He publicly condemns them for votes. Just like his own Pastor said.
Ya know, for all the attempts of Obama to say how he does not condone Bill Ayers, have you noticed how much his campaign, and his followers are like him? This “artist” is soooooooo Bill Ayers.

Mord (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 2:49PM EST (link)We would all know this man’s name. He would be the posterboy for hate and intolerance on the right. He’d lose his job, possibly be criminally investigated, and raked over the coals nationwide for days. Reporters would badger his every step and camp on his lawn, shouting questions and getting in his face every time he opens the door…Kinda like they have been treating Joe the Plumber, only worse.
Thats scary to me. Ask a question? Get crucified by the media and used by politicians. Point a gun at a Republican’s photograph in a public venue?
It’s a big joke that nobody takes seriously.
Anyone else notice that “pro-life stance” has the journalistic sarcasm quotes, but not “serious issues” ?

gadawg225 Wednesday, October 22nd at 3:02PM EST (link)This exhibit is foul. While there is not the same history of assassinations in this country against women as exists against blacks, there is a history of assasinations against political leaders. And any time we see something that encourages or belittles violence against a political figure, it should be called out.
I will say that since the exhibit is designed for people to shoot the Caribou, and not Gov. Palin, it’s not as outrageous as I first thought when looking at the picture.
However, the fact that people are aiming the gun at her is reason enough to take it down in this heated political environment.
Pattently offensive and wrong

Only enlightened lefties can tell the difference.
And Bill Ayers is just a deeply concerned American excercising his rights.
How dare you philistines even pretend to condemn that which your narrow minds cannot possibly understand?”

Achance (Diary) Thursday, October 23rd at 3:59AM EST (link)Gov. Palin knows how to shoot back. In Alaska “gun control” means hitting what you aimed for.
You know, I don’t much like her, but I’d love to have the franchise on Sarah Palin one-on-one against almost any media or political figure in the Lower 48. Ahanold might be too much of a tussle for her but I can’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t go home hurting.

Agelaius Thursday, October 23rd at 4:15AM EST (link)Of course Obama would find this threatening if this was his image, and with good reason. The risk of violence in this election is growing – emotions are very high, and nobody on left or right should be joking about assassination or creating this sort of “art”. I am not sure whether this is technically illegal, but it is certainly way, way beyond any defensible ethical standard, and it is corrosive of democracy.
