I think your taking my post out of context, I'm asking him for evidence of LIBERALS calling REPUBLICANS racist. My point is, like you, that clearly there is racism running rampant through the right wing ranks. I appreciate the response but you should have aimed it toward the OP. Liberal's just report on news, the right does more then enough to look racist without CNN of MSN doing anything.

If it is a WIDELY KNOWN FACT, as you call it. Then finding me video evidence to back up your statement shouldn't be very difficult, since I can go on youtube and find racist remarks from republicans. In context you should be able to find the same for liberals, so again go get me that evidence, I'm waiting.
See here look it's easy: www.youtube.com...

So when people do blantatly racist things like repeated call the president a monkey, a slave, a obammy, etc (dozens of stories of politicians doing it too - not just your run of the mill tea partiers) one shouldn't denounce them as racist?

I also used to believe I was a republican, but during Clintons presidency, I came to realize my true political leanings.
They are both just polar opposites of the same coin, and I want nothing to do with either, I am an independent, as I am capable of thinking for myself, and dont need these hatemongers deciding what is best for me to think and want out of this world.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized Saturday for making racially insensitive remarks about Barack Obama during the presidential campaign.
Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reported the remarks in their new book, "Game Change," which is scheduled to be in bookstores Tuesday.
The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
"He [Reid] was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' " Halperin and Heilemann say...........
Reid apologizes for racial remarks about Obama during campaign
Ambassador Susan Rice has finally explained, in her opinion, why she misled the country about what happened during the September 11 terror attack against Americans in Benghazi, Libya. According to Rice, all the blame should be given to the intelligence community for her misleading comments made five days after the attack, since she was just repeating what they had told her. A reporter asked, the American ambassador to the United Nations, "Ambassador Rice, would you explain your view of the controversy concerning your comments about Benghazi? And have—is Senator McCain fair in what he has said?" "As a senior US diplomat, I agreed to a White House request to appear on the Sunday shows to talk about the full range of national security issues of the day, which at that time were primarily and particularly the protests that were enveloping and threatening many diplomatic facilities—American diplomatic facilities—around the world and Iran’s nuclear program. The attack on Benghazi—on our facilities in Benghazi—was obviously a significant piece of this," Rice explains.

Indeed they may be, as I already stated. Here is an article I just found, so I will link it, and give a small quote.

So why the race baiting then? She flat out admits the white house put her up to it, she flat out admits to misleading the country.
Obama was one of the first to insinuate this was about her being a black woman, he has known without a doubt since day one this was a terrorist attack. So why the racism/sexism deflection tactics?
