Contrary to what Arlo Brown suggests in his Nov. 2 letter, "Double standard during campaign," it seems that hate was an equal-opportunist in this presidential election, be it Democratic or Republican. Barack Obama was also hanged in effigy recently at George Fox University in Oregon, as well as over Halloween at a dormitory at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. All of the incidents regarding John McCain, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have been investigated by the FBI, according to American news outlets. Students and citizens have been dealt with according to the law. Such repulsive incidents are taken seriously by the authorities. Thankfully, tolerance for such acts is absent.
