Still waiting for any actual link to MS Media or any other indication that the majority of Democratic voters thought McCain was racist. I certainly don't remember that. I certainly didn't think that when I enthusiastically voted fro McCain over Obama.
Don't try to deflect back to Romney. There was a lot of talk by people who in general consider the LDS church to be a racist organization and therefore consider its followers to be racists. I think Romney being Mormon is the basis of any Romney is a racist opinion, as I'm not aware of anything from his past being brought up that leads people to that conclusion.
Grown-up talk, Dutch. Use your words.

John McCain Battled Racism Against His Daughter Over the Years
As a man in the public eye, John McCain’s family was scrutinized and he had several bouts with racism over his adopted daughter, which he battled. During his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination, issues about Bridget were brought up in South Carolina, according to Dad Mag. John McCain revealed that, “There were some pretty vile and hurtful things said during the South Carolina primary. It’s a really nasty side of politics. We tried to ignore it and I think we shielded her from it. It’s just unfortunate that that sort of thing still exists As you know she’s Bengali, and very dark skinned. A lot of phone calls were made by people who said we should be very ashamed about her, about the color of her skin.”
According to The Nation, George W. Bush strategist, Karl Rove, actually asked voters, “Would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain … if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?”
Senator John McCain told Dad Mag, “Thousands and thousands of calls from people to voters saying “You know the McCains have a black baby” I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those … Getting angry doesn’t serve any useful purpose. But the calls increased my zeal for winning.”

Closest thing I remember is when McCain rebuffed that woman over Obama being an “Arab”.
Right? I've never heard McCain generally described as a racist.
The narrative, obviously, is that liberals call all Republicans racists. That's simply not true. Decent people everywhere call Trump a racist because of the racist things he's done and said.

McCain was criticized periodically throughout his career for using a racist term for his Vietnamese captors although I don’t remember it being an issue during his 2008 campaign for president. I think he was given a pass for the most part because his general character was inclusive and the use of the racist term was isolated and forgivable due to his understandable bitterness over being tortured.

There were a lot of questionable tactics by McCain supporters back in 2008. The Southern Strategy has been used to great effect in helping elect Republican presidential candidates ever since Nixon operatives first conceived and implemented it fifty years ago. Now Republican candidates are boxed in and the only way they can still be elected president is to maintain the Party’s stranglehold on the Confederate States. That political reality doesn’t mean McCain was personally a racist or that Obama, Biden, or any other leading Democrat back in the 2008 campaign thought about McCain in such a crudely reductive manner.
