Anyone opposed to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 was\u00a0called racists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it came to possibly electing America\u2019s first black president in 2008, there was going to be no way to avoid hearing cries of racism against anyone that opposed Barack Obama\u2019s politics. And that inevitability didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>When questions arose in \u201908 about Obama\u2019s birthplace, those were painted as racist. (Even though the first accusations came from inside Hillary Clinton\u2019s 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 \u201cChristian\u201d pastor, and close confidant, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who once screamed from the pulpit, \u201cNot God bless America, but God damn America,\u201d many were confused and questioned Obama\u2019s true faith. That\u2019s racism, according to the liberal media.<\/p>\n<p>Here was Cokie Roberts analysis at the time. She declared the \u201cObama\u2019s a Muslim\u201d conspiracy was birthed because white Americans know it\u2019s not acceptable to say, \u201cI don\u2019t like him because he\u2019s black,\u201d where it\u2019s more acceptable to say you don\u2019t like him because he\u2019s a Muslim.<\/p>\n<p>Are you getting the idea of how this works, now?<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/513728350\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/513728350?et=O1o7eeCaRK1s_dkDg9dnXA&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=lAE2cY-OqBqjJxZX8dB-jICq5sCGjJYXWwEfMpJNzmE=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>4.
