You're assuming racial bias when it's difficult if not impossible to prove.
People hated Clinton, People hated Clinton (
yes, some have accused him of treason), People hate Bush this very day... and have said some hateful things about these men, including wishing them death.
The hatred was based on their politics and policies, not their race. Why is it if a group of people say similar things about Obama it's got to be about race?
Is this what we have to expect if Obama becomes president...? Anyone who criticized him will be doing so because of his race?
Yes, race is a factor lurking in the background in the minds of some voters.
But how can you assume that a group of people saying hateful things about a candidate are saying it because of his race, if they dont specifically say anything regarding race?
