34. No. For starters, not every different standard is a racial double standard.

As I noted before, you can't logically conclude that something that happened differently with Clinton than with Obama must be the product of racial bias.

And I think you missed my last point. If Obama's taking heat from liberals for things that Clinton should have, that is neither necessarily the product of racial bias, nor is it a bad thing, nor does it invalidate the criticism.

At the end of the day, we're still looking at an ad hominem attack. Harris-Perry maintains Obama's liberal critics should be regarded as less reliable because she chooses to speculate they might suffer from racial bias. So might she. Neither speculation is substantive or on point.
