Reactionary?

I'm not going to comment on or discuss the specific comments that Jesse Jackson made about cutting Obama's "nuts off" - I'm just raising a question to think about in the privacy of your own head:  would the reaction have been different or the same if a different pastor made the comments, like Billy Graham?  Or if it had been Hillary Clinton or John McCain making the comments?  Are we living in a hypocritical, denial of responsibility society?

Food for thought.
