Charles has his finger on the pulse of the blogosphere, but as a generalization to society at large the comment seemed to cast the net pretty wide, and I was trying to explore just how widespread he thinks it really is.
BTW, I also suspect that the left has plenty of racists but is currently doing a better job than the right of suppressing its own racism because Obama is a Democrat.
