5 times liberals have called conservatives racist

No new ground was broken when Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables” and accused the Republican nominee of running his campaign on a racist platform. Liberals have been hurling these kinds of accusations at conservatives for decades.

Labeling conservatives racist is a favored tactic because how it tarnishes the perception of candidates who aren’t actually racist at all. But optics are the key ingredient in politics, so , if a Democratic candidate can convince voters the opposition thrives in bigotry, they will earn votes for life.

1. Liberal Gore Vidal called conservative William Buckley a “crypto-Nazi”

During the tense racial period of 1968, accusations of racism, Nazism, and fascism were constantly being thrown from the Left to the Right. But there was one high-profile moment between Gore Vidal and William Buckley in their debate at the Republican National Convention in which the rhetoric reached the most listeners.

As Denise McAllister at PJ Media explained, ABC had plastered the television screen with images of “police brutality” which implied that a “police state” in Chicago was being run by racist Republicans. Buckley pointed out that “it was all imagery” and warned against making one incident look like there is “a case for implicit totalitarianism in the American system.”

Vidal had no real defense to Buckley’s well-delivered points and so he did what any good liberal would do and resorted to name calling and so he said Buckley was a “crypto-Nazi.”

After losing the debate, Vidal doubled down, saying Buckley “establish[ed] him[self] as anti-black, anti-Semitic, and pro-war,” proving that Leftists aren’t interested in debate; just hurling accusations of bigotry.
