Double Standard!! Palin Effigy Prompts Visit From Feds

There are alot of Double Standards in this country which i feel are not right, this is just one of them. The person who put this halloween display outside of his house obviously supports Obama. I dont understand how local law enforcement has not made him take it down. I think that in 2008 all americans understand what a negative symbol a noose is. So for this idiot to put up a halloween display with anyone hanging from a noose is inappropriate! If the tables had been turned, and this was a "Halloween display" of Obama hanging from someones house, oh my where do i start. It would instantly be a hate crime, the NAACP would be there not to mention all the angry black americans. Which they should be, if something like that was to happen i would be angry also. So my point is how come everyone is taking this so lite. Is it because of how Sarah Palin is viewed by most americans? Is it because it's not a minority hanging? How does the FBI visit the house and not make this person take it down. How are the neighbors not angry enough to take it down.  As a young black male in this country im a saying that this display is 100% inappropirate and we all know that if i was Obama in this display it would've been taken down within 48 hours of being displayed.
