ANYONE who doesn't share certain, "progressive", views is a "racist"

In response to the Guardian article,"The return to power of Avigdor Lieberman and his anti-Arab racism" by Jonathan Steele.

So, Avigdor Lieberman is a "racist", is he?

I know nothing about him, so am not in a position to judge. I'm very skeptical, though, from my experience of many on the left inclining to brand and condemn ANYONE with certain views or attitudes contrary to their own as "racist". It reminds me of the way people who didn't tow the party (church's) line in medieval Europe were branded "heretics", or in Soviet Russia "reactionaries", or in McCarthy's America "communists".
