Why am I a "Racist" or "Whatever"?

I don't understand why I can not simply choose one Presidential candidate over an other without being labelled a "Racist"? What does that have to do with anything? I wish I was surprised by the willingness of a lot of people to label everyone else and cry foul when you label them or their candidate or cause or whatever. Evidently if you have nothing to offer in the "Arena of Ideas" then you simply must shout down your opponent with hate and lies! Oh, you don't agree with my candidate or my cause or my whatever, then you must be a "Racist", or a "Small Minded Red-Neck", or a "Hate-filled Whatever".
