A McCain Supporter Makes A Bloody Obama Effigy For Halloween
Lisa Castañeda, an arts and crafts enthusiast from Redondo Beach, decided to decorate her balcony for Halloween with a bloodied, hanging effigy of Barack Obama, complete with a butcher knife through his neck. She added a sign reading “NObama” for extra flair. Crafty and clever? Where do your talents end, Lisa!:
“I disapprove of him, period,” she said. “I am appalled by a man who is so close to being our president who won’t put his hand on the Bible, who won’t wear a flag pin.”
Appalled, she said, while absent-mindedly fiddling with the enormous meat cleaver she’d just stabbed through a mask of a presidential candidate. The effigy drew much criticism and Castañeda, who maintains she did intend displaying a hanged black candidate on her balcony as racist, finally took it down at the request of a McCain representative.

I’m appalled at how easily people get glaringly inaccurate information and then cling to it like gospel rather than checking their facts at all.
Jeepers creepers.

I think the most spiteful thing we could do to Ms. Chestnut-ball is to not give her any media coverage. Haters don’t accomplish very much if nobody pays attention to them. In fact, I might even suggest the radical idea of removing her stupid ignorance from the blog altogether. Not to tell my favorite Guanadamas what to do, or anything…

I’m a Christian, believe in the Bible and respect what our flag represents, yet this girl is out of control. Halloween or Hanukua, this girl has los’ her mind and needs to spend some real time with the Holy Ghost. I’m not voting for Obama either, but because some stupid virus chain email that’s gone around the world with Obama not wearing a pin- please get a brain, pray , and stop trippin’! Oh and find some taste and tact. She needs to eat one of my Abuelita’s carne asada tacos, that works wonders with me.
Puro sabor y amor.
Stay true,
