Democratic backer sends message by showing McCain, in KKK robe, chasing Obama

CATHARINE -- Ron Havens has a reputation for provocative Halloween displays that reflect his strong political views.
But even Havens was pretty sure his latest effort was over the top. That didn't stop him from setting it up in plain sight anyway.

Havens, who lives on Schuyler County Route 15 (Ridge Road) just south of Odessa, this week set up a Halloween display featuring mannequins that look like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican rival John McCain.

But the Obama figure looks like he is running, and the McCain likeness is dressed in the hooded robe of the Ku Klux Klan and is carrying a baseball bat.

Havens is quick to point out he is a liberal and a big supporter of Obama, and that the scene is meant to provoke thought about the way he believes Obama has been unfairly treated by the McCain campaign.

"I figured it would be equally offensive to everyone. It's just for shock value," Havens said. "McCain has been rabble-rousing, calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim. The McCain campaign has gotten so ugly. That's what the message is. I can see how people could take this the wrong way. I'm not advocating anything. It's sarcasm."

Why is BM smiling?...Maybe he has a gun in his pocket.

It protected by the constitution. Nuff said.

Man...What else do they ban in your hood? The only thing I remember in my covenant was that we could not breed livestock. My wife freaked out one of the lawyers by saying.."Well..What are we going to do with the goats?" One lawyer didn't get the joke...We laughed at his ass.

Good old Milton has gotten too populated with control freaks. I grew up on the outskirts of Fulton County off Hickory Flat Rd.
Back then (10 years ago) no one cared what you did on your property. I'm glad my parents moved to Woodstock after I went to college and I never had to see any of the politicking going on during the City of Milton push.

People love to show off their ignorance, don't they?
