I think that whoever put up those effigies is lacking intelligence and also probably an asshole. Sexist, I don't know--he included McCain, too--does that make him ageist??? But I find the whole thing reprehensible, and the excuse that it's "just part of a Halloween display" to be weak sauce and not funny or condonable in any form, given the tenor of this election so far.
That doesn't change the fact that if it were Obama being hanged and Biden in the chimney, then it would be even MORE offensive, and would certainly classify as being a hate crime--hands down.
