Disagreement = racism?

I think MLK would have a very low opinion of Comrade 0bama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the rest of the race-baiting crowd. Comrade 0bama goes against everything that MLK believed in.

The racism cry has really gotten under my skin lately. Those who actually believe that opposing Obama's policies equals racism show true ignorance. It's like saying that if you voted for Obama, you're racist against whites. But wait! Obama is half white! So where does that leave us?

"Racism" has become the democrats' rallying cry because virtually the whole nation is opposing Obama on healthcare, taxation, government takeovers, and a whole host of other issues he is gung ho about. What else can they say? It is just a lame excuse, and he doesn't have the right to do all those socialist things against the will of the American people.

I agree with you on the fact that people should be judged by their actions and character regardless of their ethnicity. No one should get a free pass, but you are insinuating that he might think he should get a free pass, which isn't true. On the Letterman show, when it was brought up that racism might be a reason why some are so against him on the healthcare thing, he pointed out that "you know I was a black man before I got elected", he meant that people elected him and so he does NOT cry racism when someone disagrees with him.

Obama himself does not seem to believe this but there is no shortage of his supporters who do. It has become the default defense for them when they cannot argue something on it's own merrits. Obama himself has stated several times that the racism charges are insomuch rediculous, cripe even on David letterman he said something like, "Well, I was black BEFORE the election", when asked abut the racial nature of the dissent out there. While I don't think King would have too many issues with Obama himself (other than constitutional issues) he WOULd have major issues with the endless abuse with charges and acusations of racism.
