In the recent debate between the major parties' candidates for vice-president (of the USA), candidate Sarah Palin gave the world the finger and announced that she didn't care what the American people wanted to find out. By gosh and golly, she was going to say whatever she darned well wanted to say.

"I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear..."

What would have been the right-wing-world's response have been if Barack Obama had copped the same attitude?

The first and kindest epithet hurled at Obama would have been "Uppity Ni**er." It would go downhill from there. "Angry." "Doesn't know his place."

As usual, this nation accepts a double standard: one for cute, perky, folksy airheads, and a diminished standard for everyone else (especially Uppity Ni**ers).
