Sarah Palin effigy hung in Halloween display | Reuters

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An effigy of U.S. Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin hanging by a noose as part of a Halloween display drew complaints on Monday, but local officials said the homeowner was covered by free speech rights.

A mannequin dressed to resemble the Alaska governor, with her trademark beehive hairdo and glasses, was hung by the neck from the eaves of the home in famously liberal West Hollywood.

On the roof, a mannequin of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, protruded from the chimney surrounded in flames, holding his head as he was apparently burned alive.

Three words for the complainers:

@Sabz5150,

Living in Los Angeles, this was on the local news for a couple of days. Even the mayor of the town (either North Hollywood or West Hollywood - not sure which) asked them to take the display down commenting on the disrespectful nature of it. The owner agreed and apologized for all the attention it caused remarking that it was only intended to amuse.
