Then we disagree. If I thought Barack Obama was a racist himself I would not be for him.

Guilt by association. That the Republicans haven't been able to come up with something better than that is very telling IMO.

Change of subject -- I have started my own Paul Newman film festival and am going to watch "Slap Shot" tonight. Puttin' on the foil, coach.

BTW, for those interested, Turner Classic Movies has a Paul Newman marathon coming up on the 12th. Some obscurities and some classics.
