No. Calling someone, even Obama, an idiot, is not racial bias. If I called him a "black idiot," you might have a case. Just because I disagree with him and his policies, does not make me a racist or bigot. But that's something those on the left have difficulty understanding. They feel ANY criticism of Obama is racially based, when much of it is not.
>>>And speaking of name calling, please recall I have not called YOU a bigot; kindly do me the same courtesy.<<<
The statement should have been "Who is making racially charged statements now?" And besides, while you may not have directly called me a bigot, you certainly implied as much when you said that >>>. . . all of them have displayed their racial bias time and again.<<<
Bill Clinton never said that he "loathed" the military, either, but damn well implied it when he wrote "It is possible to love my country, but loathe the military."

In your case of calling the president Obozo, I am not referring to racial bias. I am referring to the fact that you are disrespecting the office of the President of the United States. Perhaps you feel it;s okay to express Patriotism only when it suits you, but I do not. Dislike the man in the White house all you want, but when you mock him you mock the United States. I loathed Bush, but I did not mock the man by calling him names; I feel he led the country into disaster, but he was still the President and so still deserves respect regardless of my feelings about him. President Obama deserves the same, regardless of what you feel about the man himself, his race, or anything else. To say otherwise is equivalent to wearing you patriotism on your sleeve, as far as *I* am concerned.
In regards to Rush and the others, you statement makes little sense to me. How is referring to him as Rush Limburger racist? He is not black, nor does he hold federal office; he is a public citizen who disrespects others - so why should I hold HIM with any respect? His race has nothing to do with it, or are you saying you call the President Obozo just because he is black. *I* did not accuse you of this; are you saying such is the case anyway, or what?
When I said all of them, I referred specifically to the people I listed,
not you and not all conservatives. You read into what I said something that is not there. Why?
So, since this is something you complain others do to you, how about it if the next time you take offense at something I (or anyone else) say, you find out first if any personal offense is
intended, okay?
