I'm also of the mindset that a crime is a crime.. as far as hate crime vs regular crime.
I think the reason the Palin effigy isn't so offensive is because of the historical nature of the noose. It's really become a symbol much like the swastika. It was once a peaceful symbol then the Nazi's turned it into a hate mongering symbol.. the same could, in a way, be said for the noose.
take a noose to a predominately black area and see what happens. it won't be pretty.
