Some voters say sexism less offensive than racism

Some part of the article that I have comments on:
"Voter Babette Feibel told us, "Sexism of the nature Hillary Clinton is experiencing has been around as kind of an acceptable joke for years. As far as racism, it's definitely not politically correct or acceptable."
Hillary Clinton has had to deal with plenty. At a rally, hecklers yelled to her to iron their shirts. Radio host Rush Limbaugh told listeners, "Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?" "To make it about her cleavage or fat ankles, it is ridiculous. That is offensive!" said voter Melissa Barrett Kirtley."

I think this voter Melissa Barrett Kirtley has a very strong point of viewing this 2008 election. But in my opinion, even though many people are considerate about sexism on Hillary Clinton and racism over Barrack Obama, these two issues are equally or averagely I should say, discrimination of the same kind. There are 50 states in the United States and some states have more citizens favoring opposition to sexism over racism and some states are totaly different. Some women in those states may favor Hillary Clinton and some women in other states don't. On the other hand, not every black man of the United States will vote for Barrack Obama either. Therefore, the two issues are equally balanced. Both black people and women have shared the same long history of the United States and no one should be offened. In addition, it's lawfully illegal to judge both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton by their color or gender anyway, and "just" cannot be used in this 2008 election.
