The 87-year-old Jimmy Carter accused his fellow Georgian, Newt Gingrich, of employing a "subtlety of racism" that borders on linking to segregation in the Deep South, during a CNN interview with Piers Morgan.
"I think he has that subtlety of racism that I know quite well, and that Gingrich knows quite well, that appeals to some people in Georgia – particularly the right wing," Carter averred. "He knows as well the words that you use – like welfare mommas and so forth – that have been appealing in the past, in those days when we cherished segregation of the races."
Carter's allegation of course stems from Gingrich's comments during the last GOP debate, where he accused Obama of being a "food stamp President" - which, he most definitely is. And, of course, because Gingrich was "appeasing" all those white bigots in the conservative state of South Carolina. Or something like that.
Simply put, this man should be put in a retirement and never let out.
The best vote of my life was when I voted to that anti semite back to Georgia.
I really cannot blame Carter for his comments. For the first time in 32 years Jimmy Carter can now claim he is no longer the worst President in history. You can’t blame him for scratching Obama’s back by trying to destroy the man who could most likely defeat Obama.
OK - lets tell it like it is -
PROJECTION AGAIN!!!!!!!!
It is CARTER who is 86. Had a succesful career - in GEORGIA - during the years of segregation.
I understand the guy is a mental case, and on a mental case show - but it is still kind of funny how loopy they are.
Hey Jimmy, you can take your race card and shove it up your @ss.
Jimma doesn't want to loose the distinction of being the worst president in history, so he keeps helping the “0”.
I think not even the far left cares what this lunatic says but they use him anyway.
As opposed to the blatant racism that comes from leftists like you, Jimmah, and from sociopathic racists like 0bammie and his clan of commies.
So many great Americans live 80/90+ years...and then there’s Jimmy...
Joke that he is, this POS has done more to damage this planet than many. And just think that once Obama is an Ex-President, he too will tread the same water.
Elections have consequences indeed. Far reaching ones.
It must be real subtle because I sure haven’t noticed it. Seems to me he’s quite plainly commenting on Barack Obama’s failure to create a thriving economy for people of all colors in America. The number of folks on food stamps has risen by ~33% since BO took office. He owns that.
I met Jimmy about 33 years ago playing tennis. A little voice in my head kept telling me to beat him like a slazengger but I was to young to understand. Please forgive me America!! Hey, I’ve still got my racket.....
I could tell the guy was a phony; however, Obama is worse.
Jimmy Caata employs a subtlety of stupidity.
Cahtah was worthless as a president and he’s still worthless. What a scumbag.
“He knows as well the words that you use – like welfare mommas and so forth – that have been appealing in the past, in those days when we cherished segregation of the races.”
Sounds like Jimmy misses the good old days.
Ain’t nothing subtle about his stupidity.
“we cherished segregation of the races.”
Whatchu mean by WE, boy???
I think Jimmah, shot himself in the head too many times with a nail gun. But then again, I do miss the 12% interest I was getting during his term.
Jimmy and Billy Jeff need to take some lessons from George W. about maintaining some dignity and decorum as ex-presidents. They seem to be running their mouths constantly. Good grief, Newt is not even the nominee yet.
