[quote=Anonymous]16:35, You don't notice them bringing up race and calling people who do not think Obama is an effective president because you agree with the people making the racist accusation.  Many partisan people don't notice the hipocricy from their own side, especially when they surround themselves with only people who share their narrow point of view.  Those kinds of statements become white noise, when you assume you are right and everyone feels the same way.

I have never, ever, heard a conservative commentator make the accusation that Obama is a bad president because he is black.  That statement would be worthy of much outrage from both sides of the political spectrum. But I have often heard liberal commentators, in papers and broadcast news imply and in some cases outright state that people who disagree with Obama are racists.

It is a terrible, irrational, insulting argument and is going to backfire for Obama's side.  From my experience with racism, it is not a charge you throw around, just because someone disagrees with you.[/quote]
