I believe this to be an unfounded personal attack against me.

First, KoL accused me of racism, and then he implies it.
I as for a moderator to take a look, if you'd be so kind.
Not a mod, but I think you're being over sensitive...

Admittedly, part of the issue is that the thread in question is full of logical ninjitsu to the point it might make a lawyer jealous. But, meh.

Neither imply calling you a racist.

I don't read the first link as imputing racism to you. The reference to "evil brown people" is a fairly common mocking phrase on the forums, used as a shorthand version of an argument about the administration's motives for the war with Iraq [EDIT: or Christians with Muslims, or whatever].
The second link ("protest too much") does imply racism, but in the circumstances of the earlier misunderstanding, I don't see it as actionable.
There was some actual debating going on in that thread. The participants might be interested in checking from time to time with Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies. (http://onegoodmove.org/fallacy/toc.htm)
