Agreed.
Partisanship is on the upswing in both parties and has been for a long time.
The GOP paid a heavy price for the Impeachment of Clinton.
They decided to rein in their partisan opposition to Obama to less epic expressions.
They were still bitterly opposed to him, just less overt about it.
If Hillary wins they will be bitterly opposed to her. With the passage of time from the Impeachment hearings they may be even more blatant.
The point being the Republicans, in this era, would/will oppose any democratic president with bitter partisanship.
Your side's false characterization of this new normal bitter partisan opposition as being Race Based is what has made this into a racial thing, and thus set back Race Relations generations.
Obama supported this vile strategy on your side's part.
You are the bad guys.
I agree that most of the Republican antics directed at Obama are trying to block a Democratic agenda
However, the ones directly race related are:
1. Claiming Obama was born in Kenya and passing legislation demanding birth certificates
2. Questioning whether Obama graduated college or was affirmative action
3. Claiming Obama is unable to speak without a teleprompter (He is not an "articulate black man", he needs someone to write his words for him)
5. Claiming Obama is not like "you and me"
6. Claiming Obama is a Muslim
Bill Clinton was accused of having many people killed.
There were so many stories of the Clintons showing complete disrespect to their security and military people.
There were accusations that Bill in not Chealse' father.
HIllary is supposedly a lesbian.
We can play this game with Republicans too.
Reagan was supposedly stupid. Reagan supposedly negotiated with Iran to keep the hostages longer to sabotage Carter.
That's off the top of my head. Do you doubt that with research I could not find realms of conspiracy theory and/or personal slander on all recent presidents, on both sides of the aisle?
They are all smeared and vilified by their enemies.
It is your lefties who have made this new normal of bitter partisanship, to be racial, and racist.
You are confusing what morons on the interweb and conspiracy theorists write with what is being generated on the rightwing media. Everything I wrote was reported as "news" by Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck
Plenty of the main stream media supported the idea that Reagan was stupid.
IF I goggled Reagan and Huffington Post or MSNBC what excellent conspiracy theories could I find published?
Oh, I remember a good one. That Reagan had Crack sent into the inner cities to kill blacks.
Doesn't address the racism directed at the first black president

8. Insisting on calling him Barack "Hussein" Obama to remind people he is a Mooslim
I don't know if the childish taunts about "Barry" are racist in nature or just another attempt to demean him
