followed by the story of an Obama effigy.

Both are hate, but unfortunately not crimes. Definitely both are hate speech that references violence, or perceived violence. However, in the one instance, the couple obviously doesn't agree with Palin's (or McCain's) politics and in the other instance one does not agree with a black man running a "white christian" nation.

Which is worse? It's subjective really. They're both horrible, along with countless others such as the baby bear w/obama stickers. Who *does* this type crap?

Whoever wins is in danger and I hope the secret service has their act together. I feel like sometimes this country hasn't progressed one iota....

are more like the young woman who falsely claimed she was attacked by a big black man who carved a B for Barack on her cheek. Or the two young men in Tennessee who wanted to shoot Obama in a drive-by shooting, kill 88 black people and behead 14 black children. I think those are hate crimes.
