Which side keeps bringing up race?
Ron Havens has a reputation for provocative Halloween displays that reflect his strong political views.
But even Havens was pretty sure his latest effort was over the top. That didn’t stop him from setting it up in plain sight anyway.
Havens, who lives on Schuyler County Route 15 (Ridge Road) just south of Odessa, this week set up a Halloween display featuring mannequins that look like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican rival John McCain.
But the Obama figure looks like he is running, and the McCain likeness is dressed in the hooded robe of the Ku Klux Klan and is carrying a baseball bat.
Havens is quick to point out he is a liberal and a big supporter of Obama, and that the scene is meant to provoke thought about the way he believes Obama has been unfairly treated by the McCain campaign.
Reality based, ya know!
How about some more Halloween Kool Aid from the Obamazobies? Seriously, these people need to lighten up. They are a wee bit too serious about their candidate. Who they know virtually nothing about.
Putting up Obama in front of a podium with the Presidential seal would be a scary enough display for me.
