    Yes, but these aren't mainstream politicians or activists.
    I asked if you could name mainstream Leftist politicians or activists who said all Republicans are racist.

    Is this main stream enough for you?

    “They’re [Republicans are] going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

    The Obama, 2008.

    It's a pretty big jump to say that he was saying all of the Republicans are racist. He's implying some of them are, and they're going to use racism against him. I would compare that to something like Ted Cruz using the "dEmS aRe ThE rEaL rAcIsTs!" argument.

    Not a jump at all. Why would a campaigner point out that The Obama is black to non-racists? That would likely have the opposite effect.

    I'm not saying I agree with Obama, but he was saying racists in the GOP are going to play to racists to get votes.
    That's not the same as saying all Republicans are racist.

    Actually its exactly the same thing. Again, why put out a racist message to non-racists? It would just backfire.

    Well he's saying that there are some racists who this would resonate with.

    Stop avoiding the question or simply admit that I did a slam dunk here and destroyed your position.

    It wouldn't backfire if they believed him, which they probably did.

    I agree with you that some Democrats think some Republicans are racist. I'm saying Democrats don't think ALL Republicans are racist. Or if they do, they don't say it.

    What I've shown is that The Obama campaigned making the claim that all Republicans are racist.
