rac·ism, n.
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Pardon my ignorance, but do you really think it is accurate to call this type of political rhetoric racism? You can make the assertion that the conservatives are being 'divisive' here, but do you really think it is accurate to say it is 'racism'? Exactly which race of people is being called out by Rove here? Are Liberals a 'race'?
Its all quite abstract.
