Are you living in fantasy land? That is the number one tactic that libs use. Everyone that doesn't agree with them they label a a racist. How delusional are you? In 2008, McCain was a racist according to libs. More recently, he was a hero to the left because he was resisting Trump. It is really simple, if you are with the liberal crowd and have no individual thoughts, you are not a racist. If you do not agree with any of the liberal policies no matter how crazy they are, you are a racist. It actually has nothing to do with racism most of the time. That is how they think that they can win elections.
Below are just a few from a google search. How many do you want me to post?

No matter: Ezra Klein said the McCain campaign was "running crypto-racist ads." Bill Press called it "deliberately and deceptively racist." John Marshall argued that “the McCain campaign is now pushing the caricature of Obama as a uppity young black man whose presumptuousness is displayed not only in taking on airs above his station but also in a taste for young white women." Don Lemon accused the campaign of "creating a political environment that is inciting hate and hate speech."
Here is a book written about it:

Obama told his supporters McCain was a hero and to respect his service.A few people calling him racist is not the media as a whole calling him racist.
He specifically excluded the white supremacists... read the quotes.
He did not say white supremacists are good people.
You have no integrity.
Are you claiming there were no good people on the side that wanted to preserve the statue?
Is that how convoluted your thoughts are?
Is seems you are claiming that everyone on the side of preserving the statue is a White Supremacists.
You are one step from becoming a domestic terrorist.

You have to be kidding. Right!? So, if someone states "the media", exactly how many is that? Is that every single media outlet? Is that 5, 10, 15, 2, 8, 24, 36, 3, or some other number? This is fucking retarded. Your post is perhaps the dumbest argument I have ever read.
An example of the media calling someone racist would be Trump(and of course he is)

Until last weekend, neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin have condemned or rebuked such language, therefore appearing to give legitimacy to – and arguably encouraging - the open expression of such violent feelings about a man who, let's face it, has done nothing more than run on the opposing ticket for president.

McCain will be accused of racism regardless
John McCain is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. He could never mention Jeremiah Wright and ensure his campaign aides don't either, and he'd still be accused of running a racist campaign.
Have his tactics against Obama in recent days gotten more personal and hard-edged? Yes. Are his top surrogates, including his running mate, suggesting that the Democrat is a terrorist sympathizer who is not a patriot? Yes.

McCain was labeled as a racist, a get-off-my-lawn grouch with a divisive temper, someone whose health should be scrutinized because of his age.

But was there a deeper message? In the past week and a half, the liberal blogosphere has become a virtual Bletchley Park of racial cryptographers teasing out the sinister motives and subtexts of McCain’s campaign advertising.

So, all you have is deflection now. Are you just going to keep redefining and moving the goal post?
