I said we tried it and we did. We watched good men get destroyed by the GOP dirty tricks machine. We're not going to keep letting the cons destroy this nation so we're going to fight just as dirty.
And yes it was done during W's administration. Kerry tried to run a high ground campaign and got the swift boat vileness for his troubles. And we are unlikely to ever forget how Max Cleland was treated. As a matter of fact Obama has run 2 high road campaigns. no dirty tricks and no negative attacks.
OMG! I can't even begin to imagine how hard you had to laugh while you were typing that. I almost fell out of my chair just reading it!
You find the truth funny?
Not at all. It's sad, really. But, that you find what you wrote as "truth," now that is damn funny!

As to the claim that we call all opponents of Obama racists that is a simple lie. we call racists racists. If you make up some idiotic conspiracy theory involving hundreds of government officials to hide that the man was born in Kenya or some other stupid nonsense in order to declare him ineligible for the office then I'm going to call you a racist. If you start calling a program created by right wing think tanks a "socialist takeover of health care" then I'm going to wonder. but if you disagree with the President's policies in a rational manner then no one I know is going to call you a racist based on that.
Being born in Kenya could have made Obama ineligible for the Presidency (had his Mom not been a US Citizen). His Dad was Kenyan, which is why Kenya was the claimed birthplace. Had his father been from South Africa, the claim would have been Obama was born in South Africa. Them's just the facts. Obama wasn't opposed because his skin was black. He was opposed because people didn't have proof of where he was born, and ignored that it didn't matter (his Mom was a Citizen). Many of those that oppose Obama because "he was born in Kenya" (not that it is correct, nor that it matters) still supported black Conservatives.
And the first thing out of the mouth of many racists just after they state something racist is how they have a black friend. Same thing.
So, their supporting black conservatives doesn't mean they aren't racist against blacks? If it's really about the color of their skin, then even black conservatives would be opposed, wouldn't they?

As a matter of fact most on the left vehemently disagree with the President on many things and no one calls us racists.
Perhaps it's because those of us on the right aren't racists, or using the "race card?" Nah, that can't be it. It should be noted that the race card is used against "rightists" who don't agree with Obama and not against leftist that don't agree with Obama.
No. People are called racists when they completely change their support for something because the President supports it and/or start making completely bizarre claims.
Horseshit. Flip-flopping is just politics, not racism. Fuckin' A, dude! Was John "flip flop" Kerry a racist over his u-turns?

Anecdote: I have a friend on Facebook that changed his profile pics to show some historically relevant white guy while discussing the government shutdown. He was called a racist 3x more often than normal. He's a white guy. The pics he took down were those of his black wife and the mixed race kids they have together.
Too bad for him but I don't know what he posted and do not know the people on FB who responded.
He did it on purpose, just to see what would happen. I think he changed his pics to Chip Kelly, as he's an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. But, even with a pic of him and his wife as his profile pic, he was still called a racist over his opposition to the policies of Obama. And, as neither of us knows the people who responded, and only I know what he posted, I accurately labeled it as an anecdote.
