Sarah Palin Mannequin Ebay Auction: Inauguration Shenanigans Begin Early

The Obama Inauguration Day shenanigans are beginning early with Mito Aviles and ChadMichael Morrisette's Ebay auction of their infamous Sarah Palin mannequin. They strung her up last Halloween, much to the dismay/delight of their West Hollywood neighborhood. (For the backstory, go here.) The auction begins today (Jan. 13) and ends on the 20th. You'll also get a "larger-than-life John McCain political propaganda head poster." 

To get to the Ebay auction, look up the auctioneer: "neverbeforeneveragain." Or just click here. Bidding starts at a thousand bucks. Proceeds go towards more of the artists' rooftop installations.

"In case you were wondering," says Aviles, "Her noose accessory will be included."

Super! But will she be shipping in a coffin? 

Maybe, says Aviles, in a pine box.

You guys totally pwned yourself with that Obama article/poster today (Aug 3, 2009)after publishing this!! The ignorance/hypocrisy of you people is astounding.

LA Weekly sneered at Obama Joker poster and declared it so obviously racist that "the only thing missing is a noose" and yet, here we have them publishing this disgusting picture and commentary above.

HYPOCRITES!!!!

Ted Morrison says:

Hey LOL, maybe an 'entertainment paper' shouldn't be so upset about something as entertaining as the Obama-Joker poster.

There are a lot of false hypocrisy accusations around these days, but this one is the definition of hypocrisy. As noted above, the noose they were so worked up about is right here in their own posting.

This demonstrates the premier characteristic of liberals. They do not practice what they preach.

sigh,.....

and what if it turns out the poster was by a liberal? mocking? or an attempt to praise somehow?

an anarchist perhaps?

but we know who the villans are,.. the left has already got it's narrative, anything else is just useless detail.

Why not mail Palin a noose guys? I'm sure you'd find it a real knee slapper,

till the Secret Service arrived anyway.

Take it in the neck, LA Weakly. Nazi wankers.
Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson , "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."

"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."

If Hutch is thinking of reopening political concentration camps, be aware. The GOP shoots back.

Prats. Hypocritical prats.

I wouldn't elevate your rag by placing it in the bottom of a birdcage, and I hate pet birds!

We didn't forget Vampire Bush and Lynched Sarah. We have learned from you, and we will give it back better.

Joker Barry is just the beginning.

Disgusted says:

Hey Balthar, "hypocritical prats?" Why yes, you are, all of you. The Left "learned" from the Right during the Clinton era, now you want to bump it up another notch for the way Bush was treated? Just keep dealing with politics as if it were some cheap gang war and see how far it gets us. What a bright future we've got...

>The Left "learned" from the Right during the Clinton era

You have every right to be disgusted, certainly, there is much to find repellent in the political discourse these days. But, history did not begin with Clinton; it most certainly did not. Political parties, groups and individuals have been doing this type of thing to each other for as long as we have been a Republic.

Posted On: Tuesday, Aug. 4 2009 @ 5:42PM
Disgusted says:

Certainly this sort of partisan nonsense has always been around, Estarcatus. I'm just annoyed with the people in the here and now with their frivolous outrage, myopic opinions, and talking point morality. In these trying times, some people are talking about "payback?" It's loathsome and idiotic.
