When side by side photos of Hillary and the Wicked Witch of the West are posted, that's fine. But post a picture of Michelle Obama next to one of Aunt Esther and it's racist?

Ah, the classic straw man. Hillary Clinton is not, to my knowledge, green, nor were the pictures of a witch simply about her being a woman. And, by the way, I've objected to attacks here against Chelsea Clinton, too.

That double standard doesn't fly.

What double standard? The comparison between Hillary Clinton and the witch does not rely solely on race or sex for the comparison to be meaningful. What does Michelle Obama have in common with Aunt Esther other than her race? Do their personalities have anything in common?

Facial expression when she gets emotional. That has nothing to do with race.

Actually, I think they do have something in common. Both are angry women.
