These righties call Obama a watermelon eating monkey, say that Blacks are attacking Whites and Hispanics are invading America, yet they cry like little girls when they get called racist.

For a group that promotes social darwinism they sure act cowardly. They'd get eaten up in the wild.

I rest my case. These two have been sold a lie, and they happily bought the lie so that they could feel good about ignoring the will of more than half of the population of the United States.

So, let me get this straight, the Left are using it as a tool to dismiss the other guy and because they have been sold a lie and yet from your own post you dismiss them because as you claim they have been sold a lie. I bet you see nothing wrong with what you posted, come on try using the grey matter between your ears for just a second, then maybe you will get it.
Oh, one question, what will of what half are you talking about? If you are going to make statements, at least be specific and back it up with some facts, those are always nice to have, cuts to the chase and then real discussion can take place.

True about the inequality but that wasn't the point, liberal policies have destroyed what were once vibrant black communities.

Exactly and that should be quite clear from my post but you tried to use it as a crutch.

Quoth the troll poster: "It just kills you that Zimmerman is considered white," i.e. you are a white supremacist. But it does no such thing. As far as the Zimmerman and Martin, what I see are two fellow US citizens. If Martin was shot in cold blood then I want justice served and Zimmerman locked away. If it was self-defense then I want Zimmmerman exonerated. At this point I really don't know which it is. That's why we have lawyers, trials, and judges.

But it does highlight the question, why do lefties so often falsely cry racism. I could cite dozens of examples but I will limit myself to three. Spencer Ackerman, lefty pundit is the first. In 2008 some lefty journalists were discussing how to respond to the news stories about Rev. Wright. Pick some random conservatives (Fred Barnes was his suggestion) and "call them racist" was the preferred strategy from Ackerman.

Another example is the 'top 10 racist quotes' of Rush Limbaugh. These were widely distributed on lefty blogs a couple years ago. Only one problem--a bunch of the quotes were made up. Snopes.com debunked it. Limbaugh had a great show last week where he spent over an hour answering the questions of a high school student about media and racism. Limbaugh stated that no one who knew him had ever insinuated that he was a racist. Only lefties seeking to score political points had made that insinuation.

A third example is Mary Frances Berry, who was civil rights commish under Pres. Bill Clinton. She said:

I could come up with many more examples but that's enough. Why do lefties so often falsely accuse of racism?

you've already explained 'why' pretty well with those quotes. they do it to p1ss you off, and it worked.

let's see what another racism!-shouter has to say:

“We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works.”

Perhaps it should have been, but you failed.
