so as I said before have a nice day since there will NEVER be " evidence that you are capable of verifying since you werent at the location of it happening
You have not provided the evidence they and several others here want to see. It is a simple question and request and if it was so common as seems to be implied then it should no effort to provide a few for the readers to see. No one has said what the people said was untrue, but you and I both know people say things all the time that are not really true or are half truths, something written, like something from this discussion board would be acceptable. I can assure you the word racist has been used here and not cut by the mods.

I dont approve of anyone calling anyone insulting names but do you really want to compare calling people a racist for no reason what so ever, " liberals are like this or that"

Seriously

I have provided countless number of people saying they have been called a racist. There is nothing anyone can provide for you that is going to make you see the light of people being called racist for no reason ( ignore how many times those in the tea party is called racist) So have a nice day

I admit that I might not be seeing it, but I see conservatives claim this all the time, but I don't actually see it happen. I'm entirely willing to be shown wrong here though.
You just joined so it's disingenuous of you to claim you haven't seen it happen.

Do you see anyone denying that many frequently call Obama policy critics racist? As that comedian, Bill Engvall would say, "Here's your sign"

Yes, it happens very frequently on forums. This one is moderated so it's done somewhat discreetly at times, other times, not so discreetly. I suppose the worst posts are deleted. Look at some of the unmoderated forums. Learn how to use Google advanced search and pick a site to search within. Why beg people to spoon feed you?

I have been called a racist on forums since 2008 if I criticized Obama policy, and I don't even identify as a Conservative. The screen name I chose for this site is satirical in nature, and was chosen because it is so common for criticism to be met with charges of racism. My spouse, who happens to be black, thinks my screen name is hilarious.

More often than not, the immediate response is to attack the messenger rather than the message. The automatic assumption is that anyone criticizing Obama must be a racist.

You know something; I was also interested in seeing written evidence that this is a common occurrence and then we could actually discuss the sort of slander that I keep hearing is taking place. The problem is that when a few people ask to see written evidence there doesn't seem to be any being presented. As I said, if it were so common then it would be very easy to produce, that is just logic. I can only conclude that; while I am sure it does happen occasionally it does not happen nearly as much as some seem to be claiming. I see you are giving up, oh well.

So you wouldn't mind being called mentally ill, a communist, a nazi, a supporter of terrorists.........and well you make something up and it has been used. I think some of those line up with racist at about equal levels.

Where did I say calling someone those things are fine? I will call someone a communist if they are acting as a communist. But I do NOT call everyone in say the democrat party a communist.

I am not saying dont call someone a racist if they say or support racism. That isnt what this is about this is about anyone that disagrees with Obama is called a racist. Does that mean that everyone does that, NO but does it happen yes. Hence all the sites about being called a racist for simply not supporting Obama

I never said you had, I was trying to tell you that Moderates and Libs are called those and more all the time, often without having done anything but disagree on an issue.

Ok, whatever, I can assume we will not see any written evidence, some of the rest I know about and it was wrong to do and some of it was brought on by association as with the Tea Party. Go ahead drag that cross, and if I ever see anyone call you or anyone else from the right, left or in-between a racist based on nothing I will be sure to step up to the plate and call em out on it.

Not as much is a small, I'd say big time pure hatred, its a shame, I don't remember this happening with any other president, most people in this country are not stupid and those slaming him are not helping, millions of people are not on the internet forums or groups, we'll just have to see what the people vote next election, my bet is on Obama.
