Patrons at a bar in West Allis, Wis., displayed their true racist attitudes by burning an effigy of President Barack Obama. The patrons at the Yester Years Pub cheered and videotaped the event, which has since become a hit on YouTube.

Days after the video hit the Internet, the Secret Service visited the Yester Years Pub and investigated the incident. Because the patrons were not viewed as a major threat, the Secret Service eventually turned the investigation over to police in West Ellis. The Milwaukee NAACP is currently pushing for a full investigation. –a.r.
