That comment is selected from the set of all people opposed to President Obama, and can be easily construed as a racist slur against the President. Ergo, the statement that for all people opposed to President Obama, there is no racism, is false.

If you honestly believe that Prager was saying that there exists no opposition to the President that is not racial in origin, I think you misread him. I don’t imagine he was speaking of the entire subset of those opposed to the President and his policies. However, by pointing out that those who oppose the President on ideological grounds share a distrust of the President with those who oppose him on racial grounds, one can make a very nice smear that reduces all opposition to the President as evidence of latent racism or, at the very least, giving aid and comfort to the worst and ugliest elements in our society.
