Because if they got rid of all the racists, this would be "Conservative Wrinkles".

I believe they are siding with your side

NO. "HE" is a conservative, "THEY" (that would include "YOU") are liberals. One dumbass conservative, a couple dozen mainstream liberals, but in your mind we're the racists. Call me when you call out one of your fellow liberals for making racist comments and then we'll talk.

An often-repeated refrain, from those who can mount no reasoned argument in President Obama's favor. It is just so much easier to attitudinize , and pretend to exist on a morally superior plane to those who would prefer a very different set of policy preferences, both domestic and international...

No, I don't think you are all racists. I do think some of the over the top hate for Obama comes from somewhere I haven't seen with other Presidents whether they were liked or not. Something is very different about the way Obama is caricatured. How many times have you seen the Birth Certificate stuff before?. Questioning someones faith? Obama is constantly accused of things he has not done. They claimed he was out for your guns, They claimed he would be weak on security, They claim all kinds of stuff including that he is a racist. I have never seen this sort of disrespect and hate for a President.

But they don't argue on Policy preference. Instead they make moronic claims about Obama's nationality or lack of patriotism.

Who, exactly, are these (quite nebulous) "they"?

I have never argued against President Obama on either of the grounds you just mentioned, above...

Or claim that he is an "Islamic Terrorist", when- excuse me- the United States has not fallen victim to any attacks on his watch, unlike that of the previous president.
It's a strange irony that a "terrorist" would manage to keep us so safe, unlike his (nationalist, conservative) predecessor.

So instead of possibly considering that just maybe there's some credence to those claims, you assume that the problem is with the accusers, not the accused??? Doing so would require that you actually look at the President without the rose-colored glasses and be objective in your assessment of him. So it's much easier to simply accuse others of being a racist and leave it at that. The use of the race card is in 99.9999999999% of the cases nothing more than intellectual laziness. It's deciding that because you don't like what you hear, then the person talking to you is a racist. That's where the thougth process ENDS. You never sit down and ask yourself: "Could these questions being asked have a rational basis?" Maybe the reason Pres. Obama gets so much criticism is because he's so bad at being a leader. Maybe there's a real basis for these accusations. But those thoughts NEVER enter your head. You see a black man being criticized and you automatically jump to the conclusion that he's being criticized because he's black with never a thought to the idea that maybe he's being criticized for legitimate reasons.
