re: #205 Obdicut

There is a complete difference in portraying Romney as the other due to his wealth, and repeatedly making the assertion that Obama is unpatriotic, foreign, the other, not connected to American tradition, etc.

If you don’t see it, I can’t really show it to you.

It’s thin skinned and a cop-out to claim such criticisms are racist when the exact same lineup of criticisms have been used by GOP candidates for decades without regard to the race of their opponent. I could replay your same list for the Kerry v Bush campaign and find not one lick of difference in tactics.

Are you saying we are not allowed to criticize and castigate a candidate when they are the wrong race? The charges may not be nice, they may even be unfair, but so what? Obama’s policies are frequently compared by the right wing to European socialism, so does that mean we are calling him white because we make charges that Obama is following the same failed social policies of left dominated Europe?
