      62 million Americans voted for George W. Bush. 61 million voted for Mitt Romney. 60 million voted for John McCain. Why is it not considered a personal insult to those voters to criticize those men in the most caustic of terms?

      What about criticizing Hilary or Biden? Wouldn’t the same logic apply?

      This was a continual motif among Obama supporters. To criticize him was to 'disrespect' him and, by extension, black Americans.

          Right. That was nonsense on stilts.

          If you are talking about birtherism then it was right to see that as a racist attack.

          There may have been some of that, but to be outraged at Obama for playing so much golf and to give Trump a pass when he played even more golf is clearly criticism based on racial overtones and nothing to do with anything else at all.

          Feel free to provide any example of that. A clip, screen grab, quote perhaps? Sounds like something you just made up

          This was not a common refrain. When it was, it is possible that some criticism warranted that response. Of course, much wouldn't. At its worst, it is a little like being called anti-semitic for criticizing Israel. Some of that criticism is, in fact, anti-semitic. Most is not.
