"Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination."

Hmmm. Being President of the United States... yup. Definitely discriminated against. Poor guy. He got the crap job, and everyone yells at him.
Seriously, I agree with billb on this. Free speech is defined as people saying things that piss other people off. I'm sure there were people who didn't like George Washington (hint... Whiskey rebellion).
Personally, I ignore attack ads and the like. They are factless and as a result useless. Unfortunately most of the political dialogue this election season is perforce factless.
