Sarah Palin Effigy Back On EBay

As fast as it was taken down, the Sarah Palin Effigy is back up on EBAY.

And anonymous poster from the Los Angeles area (hmmm I wonder who that could be) notified The Sarah Palin Blog that the effigy is back up for sale on EBay. It is a new listing with a new item#.

The seller removed the picture of the effigy, removed the mention of the noose from the description and is listing the item simply as the "Sarah Palin Mannequin" to conform to EBay standards. But, c'mon EBAY is is still the mannequin that was hanged in effigy and it is still a symbol of hate. You are allowing your site to be used to promote hate speech.

You can see the listing by clicking here.

For some reason the gay couple from West Hollywood who put up the display seem proud of it, not getting the hypocrisy of hate.

In an time when women are the victims of violence every single day, there is no place for this kind of misogyny, especially from members of the gay community who have fought hate crimes for decades.

It is sad, just sad, that this couple just doesn't get it.
