As opposed to commentators on the other side? The ones who just call conservatives sexist and racist at the sign of any disagreement.

- sjwright 10y agoIf they do so without reasonable evidence or to distract from an unrelated topic of discussion, then I would agree. And I'm sure it happens, but it would be interesting (and potentially enlightening) if you could provide a recent citation from an influential left-wing commentator. (What I won't accept, however, is a technical wiggling between "he's a racist person" versus "he has made racist statements". I agree that this distinction sometimes matters, but generally it does not. For example, I don't think Trump is a racist person at heart, but he does make statements that legitimize the charge of being racist. When the latter is true, the former is irrelevant.)
