Why do you assume conservatives hate Obama? I do not hate him, I don't think he should be president, because he has proven that he cannot do the job. That does not mean I hate him.
It's an easy assumption to make. You guys should take a step back sometime and see how some of your fellow conservatives appear on this forum.
Bush and Cheney were lying scum. The Karl Rove sleaze, stolen election, the run up to Iraq, the tax cuts in war time, mushroom cloud scare mongering, deficits don't matter bs, basically selling out country to the oil industry and Wall Street types...My blood boils thinking of those guys. For very good reasons. They were a complete disgrace.
Romney, in contrast, seems sensible and reasonably centrist. I don't think he will be closing government agencies he can't remember, or giving no bid contracts to his own companies. I am not very impressed by his flip flopping, but I see no reason to hate him. He seems to be able to work with other people without being a crazed partisan. I would probably reserve judgement for a while. I actually liked McCain, but he lost my respect when he selected Palin. Lost me there. Hopefully Romney would make smarter choices.
There is plenty of racism in the opposition to President Obama. It's not all conservatives, but anyone who claims he wasn't born in the United States, or is a Muslim, or who posts racist caricatures of him is a racist.
What did I say that was false?
I have called out the birthers and other people you describe numerous times.
I simply said that some liberals on this forum accuse virtually anyone who is opposed to his ideas or policies of being a racist. While most don't, some do.

I've criticized Obama and have never been called a racist by liberals on this forum.
Criticizing Obama for his policies is legitimate. I don't see how bringing up food stamps, fried chicken, ghetto, thug, apes, kool aid, has anything to do with his policies
Not only is there no evidence to support these claims, they are absolutely disproved by 100% of all the evidence available on these points.
There is no conceivable interpretation of any fact in existence that would justify a claim that President Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii, or that he is anything but a Christian.
The fact that there is no evidence to support for any such claim, coupled with the fact that such a claim has never been made regarding any white president or presidential candidate demonstrates to me that there is no other possible explanation for making these wild and unfounded accusations.
That is a conclusion based on no facts. You are obviously someone who is predisposed to call anyone who disparages Obama a racist.

Well, you're a liberal, right? So, even if you disagree with some of his policies, you're in the liberals' "club," so to speak.
I've never been singled out and labeled as a racist for criticizing Obama either. But, conservatives as a whole have been labeled as racist.

I agree completely. And, yes, some conservatives on this forum do this. I do not approve. (Of course food stamps can be talked about as it relates to federal funding for them.)
Romney is a spineless panderer with slick hair who reeks "empty suit". He's perfect for the presidency.
If he wins that would make two empty suit spineless panderers in a row.
