Whatever happened to this woman is horrendous, although it seems the story is still developing and not all the facts are in.

But a double standard is evident based on the amount of coverage this incident is getting.

Compare it with how little attention has been paid to a recent string of politically-motivated, violent acts perpetrated by McCain-Palin supporters:

The crucial difference is that Obama and Biden are not traveling the country stirring up hatred among their supporters that would incite violence, while McCain and Palin clearly are.
