Supporting their right to be racist and supporting a racist are 2 different things. I never said that he didn't have a right to be racist, just that those who support him are racist.

I understand it would be a deal breaker for you, and most likely would for me as well. I do not support racism, but I will suport a person's right to be racist. Its a free country, people are free to think what they like and, to a degree, say what they like. I do not think it makes me a racist to say someone has a right to be a racist anymore than it makes me an pagan to say someone has a right to be a pagan. I am sure you will tell me I am a racist for feeling this way, but, given your extreme and absolute opinions, it should not surprise anyone when you do.
