Because some reporter dug up some actual racists who voted against Obama and used their answers to questions to smear all who opposed him in the primary.

Today’s Chicago Tribune features a lengthy article profiling a number of under-educated, gun-totin’, Confederate flag-flyin’ rednecks from Kentucky who oppose Obama because of his skin color. The reporter’s methodology appears to be: Dig up some actual racists, ask for their ill-informed opinions on Obama, then use the resulting quotes to advance a narrative that white voters who don’t support Obama are motivated by bigotry.

Sounds fair, right?  But only if we can dig up some misogynists who voted against Hillary and use them as proof that all those who opposed her are sexist.

Discussion question: Is this “you’re sexist,” “you’re racist” tussle going on among leftists right now even more hilarious because they’re all Democrats?
