No, not every conservative is racist. However, there are more racist conservatives than racist liberals. The vocal minority of the conservative side is making itself more known. Unfortunately, instead of opposing this aspect of the conservative movement, many have decided to simply live and let live.

Liberals then see it as being tacitly racist and then fallaciously paint conservatives as all being racist.

Not many people made a big deal of McCain being born in Panama. Nobody questioned his place of birth. However, people are questioning Obama's place of birth. Had Obama been blonde and All American looking, this questioning most likely would not have happened.
We aren't discussing John McCain, we are discussing Herman Cain.

As to why McCain's place of birth wasn't questioned, it is common knowledge that Mr. McCain's father was a Navy Admiral (if I'm not mistaken) who was stationed in Panama when John was born.

What made me sick about that election was the fact that an American hero, John McCain, was mocked about his limited arm mobility that he suffered as a POW during the Vietnam War.

If you think Obama is treated unfairly by the media, you are living on another planet.

Oh, and nice race card bro!

Which is of course why Maher brought it up? Apparently liberals do care about skin color.

Have you any proof for your statement? Or is it merely your opinion that you state as fact?
