If you disagree with Obama you must be a racist.



What does calling him a ghetto African monkey have to do with his policies?

If the hood fits, wear it.

Why is opposition to the HCB considered "racist"?

The phony accusation of racism should be treated with the same disdain as actual racism.

“Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.”- Mary Francis Berry

I oppose the HCB, but I've never accused Obama of wanting to enslave White people or hating White people. I've never compared him to a watermelon eating monkey like the teabaggers do.

White power!!!!

Are you saying all Tea Party people are racist?

Evidence, please.

Oh, and again:

On internet forums, I'd say majority, at least 50%, in real life, who knows, I don't know that many teabaggers, but the ones I do know tend to have racist tendencies, or at the very least are apologists for racists.

What do you think of a sign that claims Obama will enslave White people?

Oh, on internet forums.

As for the sign, I don't sweat it. After all, the anti-war movement has "signs" calling for soldiers to murder their own officers, but I don't think the whole anti-war movement as that hateful.

Anyone who has paid attention the last 3 1/2 years knows this. Don't act like this isn't the case or that the many accusations of "racism" are principled. They are not; they are just an attempt to silence opposition to Barack Obama.
Kindly provide links to some posts that, unprovoked, respond to a simple disagreement with Obama's policies by claiming the respondent is racist. Since you obviously sense this is a common pattern this shouldn't be hard to do. There are certainly members here who have earned their reputation as racists and their stance is well-known-- however I still think you'll have trouble citing examples of an unprovoked, simple disagreement, resulting in cries of racisim. Again, you claim a pattern here, so let's see your examples.
