This is getting ridiculous; instead of the boy who cried wolf, we now have the leftist who cried racist. In practically any thread that has posters who disagree with Obama and his policies, they are vilified as racists, neo-nazis, skin heads; etc. This is really, really dangerous ground on which we are treading. The thing is, it's getting so played out that people are starting to roll their eyes. Calling someone a racist, simply because they disagree with your p.o.v. is really the bottom of the intellectual barrel.

I honestly don't see what you're seeing. You sound paranoid.

It has lost all of its original meaning. The definition of words change under political correctness to suit the current political goals. It is like "1984". Libs use the word "racist" as a catch all insult (as in a libs mind, that is the worst thing that a human being could possibly be- worse than murder, rape, or terrorism, racism is very,very bad) in an effort to deride any political opposition views. If you don't agree with a lib, you are a "racist".

It has gotten ridiculous. The POTUS who ran a campaign on "UNITY" (remember that word from the campaign everybody?), has become one of, if not the most, divisive POTUS in history.

I was totally shocked a week or so ago when a poster told me I wanted to "hold back women, blacks, and gays" (exact quote), and the funniest part, I'm a GAY man myself!!!!!!!

I've been rolling my eyes and laughing for quite awhile now. Obama and his gang are just hurting their cause everytime they open their mouth.

No and quit playing the victim. I don't agree with Obama and his policies. I didn't vote for him and despite numerous debates in which I criticized Obama and his policies, I was never called a racists.

What you really need to ask is there anything a left winger liberal says that you care about? Liberalism and insanity go hand in hand.
