And when that other senator screamed "you lie" to Obama when he made a claim during a congressional speech, the immediate reaction was that it was a racist response.
It really takes a head in the sand moment to not know the race card has been heavily used. Even democratic commentators have admitted it has gone a bit far.
I'm not going to take 4 years of action and post dozens of easy to find examples. Go Google it.

In other words, you can't give me examples of POLICY disagreements being labeled as racist. "Find it yourself" is the ultimate cop-out and admission of having thrown out an unfounded claim.
The one specific example you gave you got wrong from the start. It was a
congressman from Texas who yelled out the insult, in the
State of the Union address, and he was widely condemned as being extremely disrespectful of the office of President. And even though there were some who concluded that racism may have been at the root of this gomer feeling it was okay to do that (a fair point), his outburst still was not a
policy disagreement.
Oh, and only a blind person could miss the blatant racism present at many of the so-called Tea Party gatherings. Some of those signs and comments have been terrible. The common attack on the president is that he isn't even a real American, and that is purely race based.
So, I repeat. Find me examples that support your claim that policy disagreements are commonly labeled as racist.
