5 times liberals have called conservatives racist

3. Anyone opposed to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 was called racists

When it came to possibly electing America’s first black president in 2008, there was going to be no way to avoid hearing cries of racism against anyone that opposed Barack Obama’s politics. And that inevitability didn’t disappoint.

When questions arose in ’08 about Obama’s birthplace, those were painted as racist. (Even though the first accusations came from inside Hillary Clinton’s campaign.) In a post-9/11 world, hearing the name Barack Hussein Obama conjured up negative thoughts for many Americans. Especially from someone who had written he loved hearing the call to Muslim prayer as a youngster. Add to that the controversy of his “Christian” pastor, and close confidant, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who once screamed from the pulpit, “Not God bless America, but God damn America,” many were confused and questioned Obama’s true faith. That’s racism, according to the liberal media.

Here was Cokie Roberts analysis at the time. She declared the “Obama’s a Muslim” conspiracy was birthed because white Americans know it’s not acceptable to say, “I don’t like him because he’s black,” where it’s more acceptable to say you don’t like him because he’s a Muslim.

Are you getting the idea of how this works, now?
