Because they do:
Even presidential pets were viewed through the same lens. Tesler showed 1,000 YouGov respondents a picture of a Portuguese water dog and asked how favorably they felt toward it. Half saw the dog introduced as Bo Obama, and half as Ted Kennedy’s dog, Splash. (Both political dogs are the same breed, but the picture was of Obama’s.) Those with negative feelings toward blacks thought less of Obama’s dog.The bigots can't even keep their racial animus from infecting their view of a pet.

Jesus H. Christ, the article was about how Dem who hate gays suddenly switch views when Obama evolves. and you take away that Republicans hate a black's dog? The article did not even ascibe thiS to a party. How about Ijust comment on your analysis, and do not follow the link through? Keep my blood pressure down...
Yah, that's why the story is titled It All Comes Down to Race.
You don't see how the influence of a black President on black constituents is different from the bias of racists affecting their view of his dog? Explains a lot...
