Duluth voters caught an eyeful of this on their way to the polls today.

First Wisconsin, then Rochester, and now Duluth? Sadly, it appears that's the case.

For the third time in recent weeks, an Obama hater has chosen an especially hateful way to express their opposition to the president, as a Barack effigy was found hanging from a Duluth billboard earlier today.

Here's the full image:

As the Duluth News Tribune's Brandon Stahl explains, law enforcement apparently thought the visual of a Obama doll hanging from a noose was funny:

Police say the effigy has been removed. However, the person who took the photo said two officers laughed at the effigy before taking it down

In the Upper Midwest, it seems nooses have become the unofficial symbol of the racist anybody-but-Obama segment of the population.

People are so whiny, this is COMMON. Nobody cries racism when they did this to Bush all over the place. Dumbasses...

Can you all be that weak? The sheeple comments...that originated for people who follow the masses, meaning new wave idea, such as Obama. Hand count, who paid for their own college. Another, who fought to protect liberty? Another, who doesn't ask for FREE things from the government? Yeah, I thought so.

Given Duluth's lynching history, especially heinous.

Andy Brady

Nice from city that had one of last actual lynch mobs in America that successfully lynched a black man. "Stay classy Duluth."

Michelle McGovern

It's sad to see people resort to tactics like this, but it is yet just another example of how many people have an intense hatred of Obama due to his failed policies.

@keny1 What failed policies? I am curious to understand how you think EVERYTHING he has done has been a failure?

@keny1 keny you are a racist piece of shit who uses racist, homophobic, and sexist slurs constantly. Fuck off with your crocodile tears. Phony piece of crap.

keny1

No, I only speak the truth. You speak conjecture. Big difference.

Tim Burkhardt

Wonder if the person who did this also took the time to vote?

Paul Gerold

Please what? Until they catch the people or persons who did it, nobody knows what their motives were. I wouldn't put it past an Obama supporter trying to stir up negativity. The Democratic party has been the Kings of negativity in this election.

David McGinley

Humans are dipshit sheep. End of story,racist moron fucks

Edward Ehrhardt

If you line up with Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, etc you lend tacit approval to this kind of stuff. Shameful.

Nicholas Rupar

We don't know, but that's just stupid

I keep telling myself to keep having hope for this country, but then some assclown does shit like that.

Paul Gerold

How do we know this wasn't an Obama supporter just trying to stir up outrage?

@kbaxterk @citypages That makes my heart just hurt.

Christopher Greenfield

this is awful! And yet, the right wing keeps telling us that their disdain for the President has nothing to do with race. unbelievable and sad for our State and our Nation!
