It's not. It would be racist if he said Obama is just like John Kerry, except with a tan so we shouldn't vote for him! But he is saying Obama is just as naive, stupid, and bad for this country. The only thing separating the two is skin color. Not racist whatsoever.

Not racist?????........why are they the last to know....

You can be racist withouot discriminating. However,:

What exactly is the point of mentioning it since it's obvious and everyone knows it. It is a racist statement.
He could've said that Obama is just another Kerry...that wouldn't have been racist...but he didn't.
As far as I know a tan is a good thing in this country, Kerry a bad thing so, it means Obama is similar to Kerry in policy but a lil better on the complexion side.

Not sure what the point is of mentioning that its not racism because its obvious that you lack the ability to comprehension real rasicm, and what you want it to be.
Everytime you make something rasicm that isnt, you minimize what real rasism is. Long as you dont care, I guess this mean mean Republican shouldnt care either..

shows what he said WAS racial discrimination.
Hmmm....I took the comment to mean that REGARDLESS of race, Kerry and Obama are both just as liberal.
Are we seriously not supposed to notice that Obama is black or are we just not to mention it?
And you need to get out a dictionary. There is more than one meaning to the word 'distinction'.
1. a marking off or distinguishing as different:
6. a distinguishing or treating with special honor, attention, or favor.
It is possible to recognize #1 without engaging in #6. Read the context of the above, 'Distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference', it is talking about taking action based on a difference, not merely acknowledging that one exists.
Now for homework, why don't you try the word 'discriminate' and see what you come up with.
