There's no reason this should be so. If you aren't a racist, then someone shouting it at you shouldn't matter. The ideologues on both ends of the spectrum hurl insults. There certainly are racists who hate Obama just for being black... but I don't think it's a very large percentage. I'm sure there were racists who hated Bush for being white... also not a very large percentage. Anyone who has a reasoned explanation for disagreeing with the efforts of the Dems -- not a racist. So don't even sweat this canard.
