Billie Holdiay had a song called “Strange Fruit,” one of her last hits (Mrs. Bash and I love her music), which was about lynched black men hanging from trees.

Hence the reference in the headline.

So, remember the two faggots who hung the Sarah Palin effigy in West Hollywood, made the news, people gawked, people laughed, people mocked, cops did nothing, mayor finally reasoned with idiots to take it down?

Get this, talk about fukn hypocrisy to the Nth degree…

LEXINGTON, Ky.- University of Kentucky authorities were investigating Wednesday who hanged an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama from a tree on campus.

College spokesman Carl Nathe said the effigy was found Wednesday morning. Police immediately took it down. A faculty member said he saw the effigy with a noose around its neck, hanging from a high tree branch.

University President Lee Todd said he planned to apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the school and that he is “personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode.”

How about the mayor of West Hollywood apologizing, do we hear that ?

Federal authorities have been notified, Todd said. He said the effigy violates the university’s code of ethics and won’t be tolerated.

Federal Authorities for your College Campus?

“I am outraged because we work very hard, every day, to build bridges across the divides,” Todd said. “Diversity and inclusion are among our most precious core values. Episodes like this serve only to erode our confidence in and respect for one another.”

A view shared by all you fukn libtards, unless someone actually has a diverse point of view, like maybe Christian Conservative Republicans?

Mike Lynch, a faculty member who works in a building near where the effigy was found, said he saw it around 8:40 a.m. He described it as life-sized with a Barack Obama Halloween mask, a suit jacket and sweat pants.

“This, as far as I’m concerned, says nothing—absolutely nothing—representative of this university or this community,” he said.

Obama’s Kentucky campaign director, Kenya McGruder, had no immediate comment.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan declined to comment specifically on the situation, but said an effigy can suggest a threatening tone or be an attempt to intimidate. He said the agency is “very proactive about addressing these matters.”

If theywere pro-active in West Hollywood, nobody, especially AP, was reporting that aspect.

It’s the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. George Fox University in Oregon, a small Christian college, punished four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree.

That effigy was found in September with a message taped to it—”Act Six reject.” The message was targeted at participants of a scholarship program geared toward increasing the number of minority and low-income students and several Christian colleges, mostly in the Northwest.

At the University of Kentucky, Martin Luther King Jr. Cultural Center interim director Chester Grundy said he was outraged by the incident. A rally was being planned for 7 p.m. EDT Wednesday, where staff and student leaders are expected to speak in response, he said.

Gov. Steve Beshear called the incident “embarrassing” and “deeply offensive.”

Because Obama is a black man, what about Sarah? Oh wait, she’s not a minority, she’s a white VChristian, white Christians can get ed as far as all these pukes are concerned.

“This was not political speech. It was simply hate,” he said.

John Johnson, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, called the action unacceptable even if it was a prank.

“It’s astonishing that somebody would do that at this day and time,” he said. “You would hope that our country has progressed further than that.”
