If Palin saw a picture of a manequin dressed as her being hung from someone's roof, she would probably laugh about it. You're talking about a woman with a sense of humor - someone who laughed when Saturday Night Live did a skit making fun of her. She would take it all in stride and would not consider the move sexist. Most of her supporters would likely do the same.

If Obama saw a manequin dressed as him hanging by the neck from someone's roof, he would not laugh. His supporters would not laugh. No one would laugh. Lynching is serious business.

If we had a period in America's history where women were frequently and publically lynched, for trivial crimes, we might not laugh any longer.
