I frequently see conservatives here calling liberals racist when they oppose people like Ben Carson, Herman Cain, and Condi Rice. To them, it has nothing to so with the different ideologies. But when the same conservatives complain about Obama, they lash out when racism is implied and argue that it they disagree with his policies. So is it hypocritical that conservatives call liberals racist for not liking black conservatives?
Nice try at flipping the script. Your argument didn't work for conservatives not liking Obama. They were RACISTS and still are considered that. What makes the Liberals racist is that use racist terms to describe these people. "Uncle Tom" "House Negro", etc.

They can only be considered racist if they hate them for being black. I have yet to see that displayed. President Obama, The first lady, the CBC, and democratic black voters have been hated on for that reason pretty much all day. Just look at the threads here for proof.

Reason: off topic
Disliking a person that happens to be of a certain race isn't racist. Disliking them for being that race and prejudging them because of their race is racist. Sending pictures of watermelons on the White house lawn, putting the president's head on a witch doctor, referring to his Kenyan roots all the time and sharing a photoshopped pic the first family with monkey faces would definitely give the impression that one is racist. I haven't seen this so much toward Herman Cain, Condoleezza Rice or Clarence Thomas. They get called Uncle Toms because they see the racism from Conservatives but refuse to acknowledge it. Clarence Thomas benefited from affirmative action but is now against it. By the way Sour D, I remember when you called the POTUS an "N" before your post got removed. It's not hard to see where you're coming from.
Let's get this straight once and for all. If you dislike someone for their politics, lack of skills, bad breath...etc. and they happen to be black, it doesn't make you a racist. If you dislike someone simply for being black, or white, or brown, or blue... you are a racist.
I think Al Sharpton is an insane lunatic, not because he's black, but because he's a race baiting moron. I do not agree with just about anything Obama does, but then I didn't like Clinton, GWB, and Daddy Bush all that much either. My views are color blind.

This is far from the truth and quite condescending. All you're doing is justifying one sides racism because another side does it. You make it sound like the liberals use of racism is righteous. The truth is that conservatives defending themselves against these false allegations far outnumber the conservatives who cry racism. I doubt you could find three posts from these conservatives.
