Brace yourself for more of this kind of thing up through election day:
NEWBERG, Ore. (AP) — A Christian university in Oregon said Tuesday it has punished four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama from a tree on campus.
George Fox University broke the news to students and staff Tuesday afternoon at an all-campus meeting. About 1,000 people attended, said Rob Felton, a university spokesman.
A statement from the school said the penalties against the four students were "immediate long-term suspension and public service." The school cited federal privacy rules in not disclosing more about the students or their punishment...
...The commercially produced cardboard cutout of Obama was hung from a tree last week with fishing line around the neck.
A message taped to the cutout read, "Act Six reject." That refers to a scholarship and leadership program for minority and low-income student leaders at Christian colleges primarily located in the Northwest.
A Christian school. Lovely. We're going to see more of this if he wins too, of course. But Obama knows this. Glad to see that these cretins are in Oregon, which Obama is going to win by probably six to nine points or something like that. I hope election night is excruciating for them.
