On the University of Maryland campus, a small noose was found hanging from a tree near a cultural center that houses the black faculty association and a black newspaper. I, for one, am absolutely outraged by this travesty!
Look at that pathetic thing! You call that a noose? The damn thing’s so small, you couldn’t even hang a Democrat’s sense of decency with it! It took ’em two weeks before anyone even noticed it was there.
And what’d they make it out of, anyway? That sure as hell isn’t rope. Looks like a bunch of hippies pooled their hemp necklaces and braided them all together. And what in the name of John Edwards kind of sissy-pants braiding IS that? If you’re going to make a respectable noose, you make it out of three strand hawser-laid jute or don’t even bother tossing it over the tree branch.
And don’t even get me started on the knot at the end. Hell my mother gets closer to a Hangman’s Knot when she’s knitting. It’s supposed to have 13 coils.
THIRTEEN, people!
How can you send a man to hell if you don’t have thirteen coils?
Heck, even that turd Saddam got seven.
This miserable twist of emo-goth neck-deco didn’t even have three.
Look, I understand that colleges these days mostly only teach PC BS like bi-lesbian tree-dancing and whatnot, but you’d think they could toss in just one lousy credit of Stringing People Up 101. What are these poor kids gonna do if someone steals their horse someday? You don’t put a horse thief in time out! Ya hoist ‘im up like a bird feeder & let the vultures do the rest.
Yeah, I know people don’t ride horses anymore, but we’ve still got plenty of Congressmen & journalists whose necks are too short, so I think my point remains valid.
Harvey is a non-disabled Navy veteran accidentally hired to fill an affirmative action quota at IMAO.us. He is also the author of such books as “Executioning: A Career Guide For Teenagers” and “Rope: Not Just For Kinky Sex Anymore”.
There’s one thing you can say about Harvey: If you give him some rope, he’ll hang the other guy with it!
Harvey, your either on to something or your on something! It’s time we start teaching our youngins’ some useful skills like you suggest. In additional possibly we could add to the curriculum “How to bring the heat while homo stoning”, “The finer points of witch burning and/or the rack”, “Fun and games with the thumb screw”, “Water-boarding for the whole family” & “The right tool for the job…The Cattle Prod, The Thumbnail Puller and the Ball Crusher”…
What irks me is an aggrieved group latching on to an item or image and then permanently making that thing forbidden. I mean, how long before German Shepherds and high-power water hoses are banned? I can’t even spray-paint my big four-legged spiders anymore…
Stop. You guys are making me laugh. I’m not “spewing” yet, but close. Work stoppage. Damn it, Harvey!
It’s times like these that make me glad I don’t drink coffee at the computer (as others seem to do). That was just too friggin’ good!
I especially like how they even had to circle it in the picture in the article just so that you could see the darn thing.
Kids these days…. Why, in my day, when libs would stage their own “incident” for attention/lack of any actual racism or other -ism, they put some pride into their work. They could have at least strung up a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup or something so the reason for their “outrage” would be clear. Racism? Capital Punishment? Littering? Otherwise, my first guess would be that a bird dropped it as unworthy of being made part of its nest!
We need to send some of these “students” to Iran to learn how to hang people properly. It has gone out of practice around here but I know they know their rope and knots over there.

The article was great:
Would someone give the reporter a calendar I’m not really in the time dimension but I thought this was near the end of 2007.
It shows a roughly 3-foot white rope hanging 10 to 12 feet off the ground and ending with a small noose.
Ok, so someone took a ladder to hang up a tiny noose 10-12 feet off the ground. From the looks of it, that could have far more easily been put out through the window. Of course, that’d mean it was the black students that did it.
oh, and it’s a hate crime too! double plus ungood!
Harvey, your evil genius humor aside, looking at your avatar,I can’t help but hear your words spoken by the dad in “Family Ties”. Family “Ties”?
Rope? Conspiracy!! Somebody cal the Twoofers!! Harvey’s behind it all!!!
Growing up in Maryland is the reason I am the Rabid Conservative that I am. It’s also the reason I’m a pessimist and cynic. Talk about you’re Politically Correct Insane Asylum. I didn’t think there was anyone with the gall to do something like that. I bet it’s a publicity stunt.
After all someone had to climb the tree to hang it, and the students at the U of M are usually too busy drinking, smokin’ and doing the horizontal mamba to engage in any real physical activity.
How the hell did that poorly crafted, impotent little piece of twine make the news. The headline should have been “Pride in Craftsmanship dead at U of M”.
I live in Maryland and I was listening to talk radio when discussion of this topic came up. The host has a leader of “the black community” on the show and he went on for at least 15 mins on how this “criminal act” just went to show how ingrained into society racism was, how the middle class non minority opressors condone racisim. He was on a role untill a caller asked – how does one person (maybe a small group) haning a rope from a tree constitute cultural racisim when the organizations, which were the apparent victim of the “crime”, expressly admit into their ranks only people of a certain color. Sometimes I love hearing silence on the radio, the 5 seconds after that question was asked was one of those times.
Oh bummer, my tire swing broke again?!
That’s why ya gotta get the tire swings with chains. Oh wait – chains are a symbol of slavery. Unless they’re made of gold. C’mon y’all – up da bling fo’ da new tire swing!
