@Dean-o:
You make some excellent points; I'm sorry a large proportion of people here seem to have completely missed them.
@Everyone else:
There have been multiple times where people have called Republicans or Libertarians racists because of some miniscule connection to racism in their respective groups. This is what Dean-o was pointing out, and rightly calling illogical. If you searched for about 5 minutes on Google, you could find some link to racism in any political party, including liberal groups.
He also pointed out the childish behaviour of those who resort to calling their political opponents "RepubLibertariaNazis" or similar terms. There is an old custom in forums that anyone making a comparison of someone to Nazis without an actual valid reason to has automatically lost whatever debate or discussion they are in. (See Godwin's Law).
