Jimmy Carter

Rita - Blah, Blah, Blah!!!!!

The exact thing can be said of our President's racist views, Bob, and you know it.

Yep, Obama hates white people. His mother was white. I'm sure he despised her and was relieved that she died at such an early age so that he could get on with his messianic anti-white crusade against all that is white. Of course he's white himself. Didn't some say that Hitler might have been Jewish?? Interesting, maybe the moustachers are on to something with this fasciaocialist thingie. I'll have to email Glenn Beck and find out what he has to say about this. Maybe Limbaugh as well.

"You're out of the spotlight Jimmy - go home to your peanut farm!!!!!" ... Scooter

Your statement, Scooter, doesn?t hold water considering what Jimmy Carter has done for human rights, peace, agriculture, diseases, election monitoring, Habitat For Humanity. ....

If you want to talk about his comments regarding Joe Wilson, then do that but don?t assume all republicans, or even very many, cannot see the value of many of Carter?s achievements.

One former Carter White House aide, Jack Watson, offered this thought:
"Someone once said, and I agree with them, that he is the only man in American history ... who used the United States presidency ... as a stepping stone to greatness."

Good for him on Habitat, etc. Very admirable to do such work on a continuing basis. However, he should stick to the charitable work and stay 100% away from the media.

Just because someone has done some humantarian work does not mean that they aren't still nuts or completely out of touch. Carter was the worst president in modern history and his continuing comments in the spotlight (Hamas, Joe Wilson, etc) continue to show just how pitiful he is on the world stage. No sense whatsoever in that aged brain.

It's embarrassing to listen to the guy talk.

So, far, I like the GW low profile post presidency. Much like his dad. Not like the Clinton or Carter-got to stay in the news-post presidencies.

Thanks Fisher. I agree regarding Carter's presidency. He was the worst President of my lifetime. Doesn't everyone remember the '80's. Come one, come all - murderers, thieves, drug smugglers. Yes, you are all welcome to live in the United States.

Stop and ask yourself would Rep Wilson have had the same outburst had the president been white? Would we all be much more outraged at his actions had our president been white?
The thing is that racism is tricky and does not look like it did 20 years ago but it is still here. I seriously doubt that we would have allowed the president of the United States to be so disrespected had it been Reagan or Clinton standing up there. And that is racism. Respect your president people.

Sorry Sandy Pants. I have no respect for our present President!

Yes he would have and no we wouldn't be.

I think so. I believe his outburst was regarding the health proposals and illegals and not racist.

That does not mean, after reading this congressman's background, that I would believe that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body though.

edit: I like this quote by Dick Harpootlian. "I don't think Joe's outburst was caused by President Obama being African-American. I think it was caused by no filter being between his brain and his mouth."

Yes he would have and no we wouldn't be.

I agree, I can see Wilson making the same statement with Hillary at the healm. I really didn't see recism in his statement, I saw frustration.

Sorry to hear you passed away in early 2001, did you have a nice funeral?

Would someone please let Jimmy Carter know that we DO NOT CARE what he thinks! You're out of the spotlight Jimmy - go home to your peanut farm!!!!!

I care what he thinks and he is absolutely right. The degree of hostility and racism on the right is unacceptable. I won't call them conservatives because that proud ideology is dead. It has been replaced by the shrill hate we see from the so called religious right. I expect to see sheets being worn at these republican gatherings soon.

And I certainly have no respect for you!

Sorry to hear you passed away in early 2001, did you have a nice funeral?

Anyone who can't remember the last eight years, consider it a blessing.

FTLOG...turn off the TV and think for yourselves........................

If Hillary were at the healm we'd be in the middle of 4 years of lectures on how sexist the right is.

I agree. I am not sure his statement was racist. but given his background... and also given "white denial" about racism (nothing new there) - I am not completely convinced. either way, he was an ass.

So no one on the left has ever disrespected the office of George W. Bush? Puhlease! If America is so racist how did we end up with a black president? Will racism always exist unfortunately yes on all sides of the fence...White / Black, Black / White, Muslim / Christian, etc. I don't believe that not agreeing with someone's political agenda makes anyone a racist. Insinuating that people are racist if they don't agree with the Presidents politics is a scare tactic. Isn't that what the left was crying about the right? Jimmy's rant scared me.

then you are part of the problem, not the solution.

we ended up with obama because of the catastrophic presidency of gw combined with maccain's lackluster campaign and nightmare selection of palin to appease the bible rednecks

he doesn't have a racist[rebel flag love] bone in his body....it's all cartilage.

no first we'd cover the racism and fear mongering, moving on to tax cuts for the wealthy with a brief pause at deficit spending. then we would proceed to lying about global warming, torture, and weapons of mass destruction, followed by the wasteful creation of another department[homestyle security] of government. concluding we would examine the massive gift of billions to wall street, the complete inaction on any healthcare reform and then conclude with sexism. it was all hard work!

AllyCat!!!!

Poppy - No I didn't die yet - Obama is going to save me with his healthcare plan!!!!!!!!

I have family, "God love 'em" "Bless their hearts" and all that who do not want Obama as president and I know it is because he is black. "They're taking over our country". He could have programs & policies that they would never accept because it came from his administration.
They have had little exposure to other cultures or even many blacks. It is a rather homogenous area. There is a level of fear that might not exist if they had, or took, the opportunity to travel and experience other people and places. I think there are lots of areas of our country that lack the diversity which allows kids to grow up understanding those of different races better. It can go far to help with the racist attitudes and hate that exists in some people.

There are posters on this board who oppose many of the administration's policies, but I get no impression that it is for any reason of race, then there are others who simply exude bigotry and it makes me sick to read.

Zing!
