The U.S. Secret Service has been asked to look into a sign suggesting a "free public hanging" of President-elect Barack Obama and several other political figures in Bonner County, Idaho. The handmade cardboard sign also features a noose fashioned from a length of nylon rope.
"That's a political statement. They can call it whatever they want, a threat or whatever," said Ken Germana, who installed the sign on his property off Golden Gate Road in southwestern Bonner County.
In addition to President-Elect Obama, the sign also mentions John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and Al Sharpton.
Germana said he poses absolutely no threat to Obama, but admits he would not lose any sleep if harm did come the president-elect's way. He said he made the sign to protest hypocrisy in two high-profile incidents involving effigies of Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin.
