4 Confess to Obama Effigy, School Says
NEWBERG, Ore. (Oct. 1) - A Christian university in Oregon said Tuesday it has punished four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama from a tree on campus.
A statement from the school said the penalties against the four students were "immediate long-term suspension and public service." The school cited federal privacy rules in not disclosing more about the students or their punishment. The FBI is investigating whether any civil rights were violated. The commercially produced cardboard cutout of Obama was hung from a tree last week with fishing line around the neck. A message taped to the cutout read, "Act Six reject." That refers to a scholarship and leadership program for minority and low-income student leaders at Christian colleges primarily located in the Northwest. http://news.aol.com/article/4-confes...ol-says/188210

LOL, there are a number of things older than John McCain. Not that I support him, but he gets ripped apart because of his age, because he had cancer, and then you have a running VP, who is 28 years younger than McCain, I believe. She makes him look older than he is.

Lita, he's posted the same thing about a half dozen times in other threads. I think it's another spambot.

I live about 15 miles from where this happened, and according to the local news they were protesting the Act Six policies more than Obama himself. They were idiots for doing it how they did, and will likely be kicked out of school permanently, but they said that it does not look like they broke any laws.

I am sure that if was a effigy of McCain it would still be hanging there, especially in Oregon.

I never said it was a hate crime; it was an interesting article so I posted it. I wanted to see what others thought of the article and whether they believe it's borderline "hate crime". Why hang a cardboard cutout of Osama hanging from a tree?
