VivirLatino hasn’t endorsed a candidate, except to say that you should not vote McCain. So excuse us if we don’t get the joke with all the Obama effigies being hung and stabbed as in the picture above.

A Los Angeles-area McCain supporter has removed a Halloween effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama hanging from her balcony with a giant butcher knife through its neck.

Lisa Castañeda of Redondo Beach put up the blood-covered figure on Wednesday. A placard read “Nobama.”

Emotions stirred in a Redondo Beach neighborhood Wednesday when a resident hung an effigy of Sen. Barack Obama from her balcony with a meat cleaver slashed through his throat as a Halloween display.

“I disapprove of him, period,” she said. “I am appalled by a man who is so close to being our president who won’t put his hand on the Bible, who won’t wear a flag pin.”

Castaneda included the effigy in a larger Halloween display and says she didn’t mean to be racist or offensive. But the display drew immediate criticism and she took it down Wednesday night at the request of a McCain campaign representative.
