Redondo resident takes down 'Nobama'

Lisa Castaneda says the lynched effigy of Barack Obama isn't racist or mean-spirited.


The lynched effigy of Democratic candidate Barack Obama came down after police officers and a representative from John McCain's local campaign office paid a visit to Lisa Castaneda last night and convinced her to take it down, according to authorities.

Emotions stirred in a Redondo Beach neighborhood Wednesday when a resident hung an effigy of Sen. Barack Obama from her balcony with a meat cleaver slashed through his throat as a Halloween display.

The figure outside Castaneda's house north of 190th Street is a likeness of the Democratic presidential candidate with his necktie pulled tight and hung from a post, his jacket covered with blood and a sign in red that reads, "Nobama."

Castaneda, a mother of two young children, said the Halloween display is part of her larger scary exhibit that includes the Grim Reaper, a graveyard and the attacker from the "Scream" movies.

A sign in support of McCain/Palin is posted in front of the yard.

Castaneda said she supports the Republican candidate, Sen. John McCain. She said the Obama effigy simply makes a statement that he is not fit to be president.

"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."

13. "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."

What's appalling is someone voting on pure ignorance.

Who make their decisions based on nonsensical puffery like flag pins.

17. Interesting... If she does this next year, it would be a felony under the Patriot Act

I doubt the Patriot Act will be standing a year from now, but it's an ironic thought.
