Kevin Drum has a good post entitled: "Racism Is Not the Explanation for Everything the Republicans Do".
His point is very true. I'd add another point: using "racism" to attack your opponent is dangerous to yourself. It's like saying the opposing team won because they played dirty, cheated, and paid off the umpires. All of that may be true, particularly if you're talking about the Patriots and the Red Sox :-), but it teaches the wrong lessons and removes the burden on you to improve your game. It also makes the opponent the "other".
