    10-You will be called a racist, regardless of your actual life history, behavior, beliefs or platform. Any effort to deny that you’re a racist will be taken as proof that you are one. Accept it as the price of admission.
was Romney ever accused of racism in a serious way, I mean all sides are accused of it by fringe sources. Or in jest -nice bit of satire there.

On another note, I don't think that there's been a documented burst of laughter from a politician being called racist or sexist.

I have been accused of Racism by close friends for not being an Obama supporter. Oh, not me specifically but "many Republicans," or "most conservatives," or "much of the opposition." (Amusingly my kids go to a more integrated school than any of theirs.)

I resist, as you know, broad generalizations of my political opposites, but my experience is that Donk's, as a class, deploy the racism card at the soonest opportunity.
