It wasn't AT ALL calling a "you lie" statement racist. It was talking about a "you lie" statement coming from this particular congressman.

All you had to do was say that there is zero chance this particular congressman was motivated by race when he said that. You didn't do that. You instead say that you have no clue. Would you object if I claimed that there was a better than 50% chance his actions were racially motivated?
You make up the numbers, I do not know what's in his heart and mind. What are the odds that you and modo would think anything this senator criticizes about barry would be racially motivated. I would expect much greater than the odds that it actually is.

So if there is a 1% chance that there is a racial component in a statement that then it's okay to fling out the race card? Sure since it's effective and some people will believe it. Does it not matter that there is a >1% chance that the author is a bigot?
