Ohio man hangs Obama effigy from noose - says only white Christians should be President

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Surprise, shock and some fear in a local neighborhood, after an anti-Obama display is hung from a tree. The display is at a home at Symmes and Hicks Road in Fairfield.

And the person who put it there says the message isn't political, it's racist. Shawn Ley spoke with the man who isn't shy about his views.

There it is, right above the "McCain-Palin" sign: a make-shift ghost, hanging from a noose. A Barack Obama sign attached upside down. Obama's middle name: "Hussein" spray painted and misspelled above.

Mike Lunsford hung the ghost in his yard. He spoke to us off-camera, saying his views could hurt his employers business ... but he says make no mistake: He doesn't want an African American running the country.

Lunsford says he believes Barack Obama is not a "full blooded American." And he says the United States is a white, Christian nation - and only with white Christians should be in power.

Guess who he's gonna vote for? Like Jon Stewart said: the story line is once you create the monster, you lose control of it.

Fairfield, OH. Just north of Cincinnati. Not surprising, really.

Reminds me of one of the reasons we left that area.

It's people like this who make me wonder what year they're living in.

Maybe he should read some history books.

This goes to show that it's even more wrong not to vote for Obama.

I doubt he's ever even read his own bible.

The good news is he's a business owner, and he must have calculated that he gets zero business from black people, because if he does and didn't calculate, it's yet another stupid move by yet another stupid conservative racist #######.

I don't think its wrong not to vote for Obama, if you don't believe in what he stands for then don't vote for him. I don't get how this guy is showing that its wrong not to vote for him. If anything he's showing how ignorant he is and that's all.

there are much better ways to show "non support" for a candidate ...

note: this isn't one one of them

What an ignorant ###. I believe in freedom of speech, but these types of things are really sad.

There is no way in hell that I will vote for Obama, and that is in the best interest of the nation. Last thing we need is 4 years of people being accused of being racist every time they object to him or his presidency. The first Black president should be the right person for the job, not just the first Black person who wins a party nomination.

How would that be any different from 8 years of being accused of being unpatriotic for objecting Bush's actions or just Bush himself?
