Help me understand your train of thought. Republicans are considered racist because they are skeptical about ?
what Obama will do as president but before Bush even got into office Democrats were already bashing him. That's considered fair?

So Panda let's attack his policies. He proposed the idea of "share the wealth" it's fair to take someone else's hard owned money and give it to someone else because they don't make as much. Or how about how Obama is for third trimester abortion, that child has a beating heart and everything. That doesn't disgust you!? Or what about his terrorist ties with Ayers, Acorn or why he own't talk about his past when every other president has and even Palin. Or how inexperienced he is. Sweetie I'm not racist I would have hands down voted for Colin Powell or Condi Rice. Obama is a disgusting human being and I still can't deicde who is worse his ugly wife or him!

There is also the fact that he went to Rev Wright's church for how long and even said in his book that Wright was like a father to him!

Though they aren't outwardly cognizant of it, libs feel the need to attack anyone that might interfere with Obama's train ride into history, especially when it is pointed out to them that there is no basis for such grandiosity.
Because they're there. They're on that train, imagining themselves to be right there w/ him, in the bubble standing next to him. His future is seen as their future.
They're emotionally vested. They don't want to see the flaws.
You're right! Republicans are bashed for criticizing Obama. In Obama's defense Democrats are known to say, "Give him a chance" or "He hasn't even taken office yet."
Did they forget the George W. Bush bashing started when Florida was undecided in 2000. How they said he stole the election? The bashing of GWB has not let up since then and eventually has won over the majority by repeating nonsense.
Don't worry, we'll call Obama on everything he does wrong until we win over the majority again. This is a never ending political cycle!
I may be mistaken but you (or your questions seems bias).
I don't know who said that republicans that are skeptical about Obama are racists but you know very well that that's not true. (Or I hope it's not true).
You have to understand that, that is politics. Unfortunately there are still narrow minded people out there. Would you call a black democrat that was against Obama a racist? What about a white democrat?
I TRULY hope that anyone who is against Obama, is against him because they don't agree with his views and proposed policies and NOT because of the color of his skin.
As far as Bush goes, it probably wasn't fair that he was "bashed" as you call it even before he got into office. But consider how he "won" the election. I believe to be proper to be skeptical about a man winning an election without the popular vote and by getting the electoral votes where his brother just so happens to govern. Specially with all presidencyhat happend with the votes. NOW THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON TO BE SKEPTICAL. Lastly, Bush's presidency was a completely failure. Even most republicans can tell you that.
But anyways, to answer your question, no it is not fair.
Republicans are racists because they judged Obama by the color of his skin first . . and than filled in the blanks by trying to destroy his character . . it is an old racist trick . . lack of birth certificates were often used as a form of black oppression, labeling a black man a communist (MLK was also labeled a communist), attacking his faith, attacking his education, attacking his 'strange' name, attacking his associations . . all attacks with no substance in order to smear his character . . because he is black.
I have no doubts at all after reading the questions and answers on this board that the far right conservatives are bitter that the election was lost to a black man . . they are paranoid and afraid of him because his skin is dark . . they think he must be evil . . the anti-Christ . . or anti-American . . it is about race whether they realize it or not. Never before in the history of Presidential elections have the far right been so paranoid . . they have scared themselves silly . . not because a Democrat won the election . . but because a black man won the election. That's why conservative Republicans are considered racists . . your attacks are never on his real policies . . they are on his character because of his skin color.
You still dont get it, do you? The race card is THE trump card. You cannot say ANYTHING bad about Obama or you are a racist, period. His backers, the Democrats & the leg-tingly MSM are all in line with this theorem. There is no alternative.
