And cowardice is the whole reason idiots like Carter are screaming racism at all opposition.

There is a poll on Fox News asking if Jimmy Carter stepped over the line with his comment... Jimmy Carter stepped over the line when he became president and never returned.

John Rich sumed up Jimmy Carter nicely on Hannity last night:

"Why the Hell would anyone care what Carter said he doesn't matter, Heck he didn't matter when he was suppose to matter."

This coming from the man whose book is endorsed by Osama bin Laden.

Sheeze, Carter, you do not know when to stop digging your own hole. You were wholly rejected 29 years ago, and nothing you can do will ever change that.

This is so silly.

You can always tell when these meatheads have lost the argument. They go right for the race card.

If Mr. Obama were white, I bet Mr. Wilson would have yelled the same thing: “You lie!”

Mr. Carter? Worst president since James Buchanan. Perhaps the worst. Met him once. He’s full of himself and is a humorless lout. Just like Mr. Obama.

It had nothing to do with racism on the part of Wilson and everything to do with LYING on the part of Obonzo.

Any opposition to socialism is evidence that you think your own race is superior to another’s. That makes such perfect sense!

Carter is a racer.

Typical of dementia patients. They can remember the distant, but not immediate past.

Carter’s just harking back to his days in rural Georgia when Democrats were openly racist (and proud of it).

apprehension and disagreement with a policy or an issue does NOT smack of racism...

Just because Carter and most of the Democrats live in a racist undertone world doesn't mean the rest of us do...

Why do you think the MA elite Dems only live among white people? ---> racists...

Whenever Carter speaks I think of this scene from the Movie “Annie Hall”

“And-and Ivan Ackerman [Jimmy Carter], always the wrong answer. Always.”

Ivan [Jimmy] stands up behind his desk.

IVAN [Jimmy] “Seven and three is nine.”

Alvy hits his forehead with his hand. Another student glances over at him, reacting.

Mr. Carter just doesn’t want to address the question of whether Obama actually is lying.

The Race Card is just a tactic to kill the debate and stifle discussion.

This appears to be personal problem of Carter. It may be projection. Carter may have some awfully racist things in his past he feels for which he feels guilty.

That’s rich, an anti-Semite accusing someone who has a legitimate criticism of the president of being racist.

Can you say “hypocrite”? Oh wait... not in the House you can’t. The word has been banned.

A brief thought about Jimmy Carter
Hotair.com - September 16, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

...Hamas regularly issues anti-Semitic harangues and smears, and yet Carter has no problem cozying up to them...

...From now on, using Carter’s own logic, we should note each of his remarks on the Middle East by saying they come from “Jimmy Carter, known anti-Semite.” Two can play this game.
