GREG GUTFELD: “Look, this debate is basic: it’s small government vs. big government. So how cowardly do folks like Blood and Frank Rich have to be that they can’t man up and defend their love for collectivism? The only reason they scream race, is because that debate scares them. They know a racial accusation prevents dialogue, because such a harmful charge far outweighs any benefits of winning an argument.”

UPDATE: Reader Paul Strasser writes that the answer to bogus racism charges is a question: “Do you honestly think any of us would be FOR Obamacare if he was white?”
