There is nothing better than charges of bigotry to tip off a reader that this is their best shot.

When the Obama camp can defend itself on the merits, it does; when it cannot, it shouts, "Bigot!"

Never fails.

It works like this: Bigotry is blamed when anyone criticizes the President, and then most of the folks who are blamed go about defending themselves when they ought to be pointing out, bigotry aside, what it is that the President has done, or failed to do, and why that matters.

The subject is not bigotry; bigotry is irrelevant, because motive for the criticism is not relevant. The only thing relevant is whether the criticism can defended against. When it cannot, the Obama camp resorts to charges of bigotry, or said another way, when you read the Obama camp charge bigotry, you know they haven't a leg to stand on.
