you would have been hardpressed not to have found the Dem incumbent in some sort of hunting or shooting gear(NRA endorsed him).

We had a 60 year old liberal female Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor a few years ago. Her campaign commercial consisted of her stepping into frame and jacking a big old shotgun. Never seen anything so stupid in my life. She lost to quiet and dignified Republican Win Rockefeller.

Substitute "watermelon" and "fried chicken" for "pickup truck" and "Rebel flag" and apply it to blacks instead of white Southerners, and the crowds at these debates would have run these guys out of the arena, found a tall tree and a piece of rope, and strung 'em up. And the media would have cheered the crowd on.

Nope, no double standard here.
