Why?

Why is any criticism of Obama being called racist? Is this a preview to his administration, and what does that mean for Americas future? Will those who criticise a Obama presidency be called racists? What penalties will they face? These are questions that have disturbing answers. Obama himself has said Republicans would use the fact that he's black against him. His supporters have piled on with idiotic articles saying calling him everything from skinny to socialist is racist.

McCain has questioned Obamas associations with white former terrorists, Arab slumlords, and both white and black corrupt businessmen. He is questioning the ideas of the people around Obama, not the skin color. Implying that McCain is racist for doing so shows that many people are idiots. So why? Because they can. The medias not going to complain.
