Textbook Strawman.
Because the reader can't see your post that I was responding to, they assume that was my position -- all anti-Obama's are racist.
But that's not what I said. I was responding to your specific quote --
Moving on.
In the next paragraph you sort of transition to what I was really commenting on (birthers, and those still having doubt)... AND, you bravely admit you have your own doubts.
Let me be specific. I'm talking about birthers and those still harboring doubt, even a little doubt.
IMO opinion, that doubt stems from a subtle from of hidden closet racism. When you peel back the layers, asking people to specifically define what they 'hate' about Obama, you inevitably get to 'welfare', 'socialism', or other negative associations stemming from the color of his skin.
Yet, the words themselves (welfare, socialist) bare no literal relations to his actual policies. So what is it then? What do they 'hate'?
IMO - On a subconscious level, those with doubt were not ready for a black president. That older generation still holding on to the stereotypes of yesteryear. The code words on Fox News, their daily narrative, help keep that fire burning, even if it's just embers.
