Racism is driving anti-Obama protests, says Carter

Racism is driving anti-Obama protests, says Carter

Philippe Naughton

The former American president Jimmy Carter says racism and fear is driving the wave of anger directed at Barack Obama as he tries to drive through comprehensive reform of the US healthcare system.

The 84-year-old included in his analysis the heckling of a Republican lawmaker, who shouted out "You lie" at President Obama during his speech to Congress last Wednesday.

“I think that an overwhelming proportion of the intensely-demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, he’s African-American,” Mr Carter told NBC television, in a potentially explosive intervention in national politics.

“I live in the South, and I have seen the South come a long way. But that racism inclination still exists, and I think it has bubbled up to the surface because of a belief among many white people, not just in the South but across the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country.

Hmm... these days Jimmy Carter is the best campaign worker conservatives can have. Whenever he supports somebody, his opposition mobilizes.

I hope Carter repeats his charge of racism from here to Moon until mid-term election next year. I only encourage him. Please do it before every conservative in U.S..:-)

Racism isn’t driving the protests, but it is driving 0’s agenda.

Agreed. Many people want him to STFU, but I say, "No. Please keep talking." Repetitive use wears out the phrase and it becomes meaningless. And as it loses its power, ridicule & scorn naturally set in upon the accuser.

Carter is showing his own racism. He is going out of his way to lick the boots of the “anointed One” just to prove he isn't a racist.
IMHO, Obummer wouldn't have won if not for all these do-gooders trying to show the world they are not racists. They didn't care about his lack of qualifications.

Why can't they just treat him like any other person?
(that is, any other person who is trying to ruin our country)

Liberals like Carter are the real racists. How many Blacks did he appoint to his administration? The answer is none.

The skin color of his appointees was the same color of Byrd's KKK Sheets. See any blacks in the pictures below?

So then.....even worse racism existed against Bush, roughly 90% of African Americans voted against him in two elections. The rhetoric against him was vile and inaccurate.

I sorry, but you must look at this from both directions.

Carter is a "Racer".

He plays the race card by calling people "racist" as his only defense when person of color screws up.

Racers are everywhere today..

Not really.

“O” and Co. are attempting nothing short of the complete and irreversible nationalization of American life, and are manipulating the media, education religion, etc. to accomplish their agenda.

The “O” administration is unapologetic Liberalism fully expressed and finally in the center ring. No more furtive operations or covert objectives for them, now. This is the all or nothing roll of the dice for every Liberal in American politics, and the claim that objections are racially motivated is a further effort on the part of Liberals to divert attention from their REAL motives.

What they whispered among themselves for decades is now arrogantly articulated just as if all Liberal plans for America are and ought always to be incontestable … as if the support of only HALF the country is sufficient margin to claim wholesale affirmation.

Logic and reason are totally missing from Jimmah Cotter's message.

Let me see if I have this right. I am opposed to Obama's health care plan. The only reason, Cotter says, is that I am a racist.

This means, for him, that if we replaced Obama with a white person (say, John McCain) I would now be in favor of the same health care plan.

So I would turn down a plan I like solely because it was proposed by a black president and choose to go with something not as good just because I am a racist.

But the truth is that I am opposed to the health care plan no matter who proposes it.

I am opposed to the PLAN not the PERSON or the RACE of the person.

Can Cotter or ANY race-baiter understand this? I think Cotter (even with his degree in nookyuler engineering) is just stupid or evil or both. I know the other race baiters are also just stupid or evil or both.

It's not race, stupid!

Well, pride comes before the fall. I am sure some of them feel the way you do. We will let them overconfident, blind to reality, and eventually overplay their hands.

This is like folks at People's Temple partying wildly a few days before they drink Kool Aids.

You know what they said about Satan. Arrogance and vanity doomed him.

Calling someone/something racist is an ATTEMPT by the RACE-BAITER to shut down debate, discussion or any activity that the RACE-BAITER CANNOT CONTROL. IGNORE THE RACE-BAITER’S COMMENT, LET IT ROLL OFF YOUR BACK AND CARRY ON! Understanding that name calling is the RACE-BAITER’s “game”, will allow you to “play the game” to your advantage..by ignoring the comment.

Osama Bin Laden Endorses Jimmy Carter’s Book

Jimmy Carter’s loathing for Israel and preference for Palestinian Jew-Killers has been well-documented. And his tireless Israel bashing on behalf of Palestinian terrorists has won him at least one devoted fan. In his latest tape, Osama bin Laden, or his ghost, recommends several books for Americans to read, including Jimmy Carter’s Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid:

While the voice on the tape does not mention this book by name, it calls on Americans to “read what your former president, Carter, wrote regarding Israeli racism against our people in Palestine.”

http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2009/09/osama_bin_laden.html

Nice to know that Osama bin Ladin approves of Carter’s insights into racism.

[[Racism is driving anti-Obama protests, says Carter]]

It sure is carter- so quit your racist comments, and let’s get on board with hte wishes of the rest of hte country instead of tryign to smash through obama’s plans by imposing guilt on everyoen by playing hte racist card- Tell Obama to quit beign racist too, and to start LISTENING to the p[eople who elected him and to stop whinign about imaginary racism towards him- Yes, there is racism drivign the protest, but it’s the people who are experiencing the racism being brought to us by an African American president who has an arrogant attitude toward us ignant whities- He’s bound and determined to make every white person in America pay for the slavery that took place in this coutnry (While excusing his own country of Africa from havign slaves of course).
