They had a problem with the fact that it was a speech from Obama. Where were you, really? Some of the republican congressmen were even calling it "indoctrination" - Now granted that was a few days ago, and so the media's short-term memory has already erased it.

As for only the left making an issue of race... Well... there's a good reason for that. There are far more brown people among the left than the right. I can't imagine that's at all surprising to anyone - even the GOP admits that they lack the black vote, the asian vote, the latino vote, the Jewish vote, and would probably lament its 0% among Native Americans, if there were enough of us to actually make 1% in an election. As a result, the left tends to be better at spotting racism, has more experience as to what is racist and what isn't, and is less reluctant to call it out.

Does this mean conservatives are racist? Well, every white conservative I've met has been at best, severely ignorant of racial issues in America. With a few exceptions, minorities among conservatives seem to be some serious racists, at least against other minorities. One doesn't have to be a supremacist to be a racist, Disgrunt.
