re: #191 BryanS

I don’t see that as racist. Was it racist to call John Kerry an un-American Frenchi socialist? That just seems like standard right wing rhetoric. Why is it racist all of a sudden when used against Obama?

Uhh, yes, it was racist (more precisely xenophobic) to trash Kerry because of his French roots or whatever connection he had to France. And, yes, it’s become “standard right-wing rhetoric”…that’s the problem.
