I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

This is true. Nobody shifted exclusively because they were called racists or sexists. But there is a hysterical left out there right now, making enormous asses of themselves, by labelling anything and everything that disagrees with them racist or a sexist. That sort of childish idiocy - identical in its infantile nature to right wingers calling Obama a socialist for eight years, and birtherism - does the Democratic Party no favors.
