Jimmy Speaks Up
PBS | 8,26,08 | Don Corleone

Posted on 08/26/2008 3:37:56 PM PDT by Don Corleone

Jimmy Carter, ladies and gentlemen, last night on PBS special coverage. The anchor Jim Lehrer said, "And do you think that if it happens that Obama is elected, or even just being nominated, will send positive ripple effects throughout the country on the race issue?"

CARTER: It already has sent a wave of approbation and admiration in many countries around the world just knowing that this black boy who grew up with just a loving mother and -- and grandparents and that was about all he had to start with, has now had a chance to become the nominee of the Democratic Party for president. We've seen a disillusionment about our country in the last eight years with a lot of things happening like torturing of prisoners and that sort of thing. If Obama is elected, which I think he is gonna be, then I think that will be the transforming grace for the end of racism and prejudice and hatred between races in this country.

Note the typical Democrat remark that no Republican could make without hell fire and damnation coming down out of the media for the foreseeable future. "Black Boy" Way to go there Jimmah!

Technically, Obama is a half-black boy.

I have a dream of a country where a Republican can get away with saying what Jimmy just said. But electing Obama won’t get us there...

Colloquially, he is a Halfrican-American.

Carter needs to stop thinking he’s important or that anyone really cares what he thinks. Whatever though. I guess he can say what he wants.

More proof of Jimmuh Cahtuh's mental incompetence. Electing a racially antagonistic Obama will result in powerful and destructive pressures on the government by millions of Blacks to finally give them "what's theirs." They will be lined up on the Capitol steps on January 21 with intransigent, belligerent demands.

Election of Obama would be a racial disaster for the US unlike anything since the '60's riots.

Better, yet... a country where Democrats are persecuted a fraction as much as a Republican would be for making such a comment.

Yes, but you can't use the word "liberal".

If it were the other way around, and McCain were black, the world and the MSM would NOT be fawning over him that is for sure! LOL

The whole thing is laughable.

It only counts if it is a LIBERAL black person.

Pure politics.

No surprise there. Jimmuh has always been a racist (and anti-Semite). When he first ran for Governor against ex-Gov. Carl Sanders in 1970, he attacked the latter for shaking hands with basketball players, implying he was nothin’ but a n****r lover. Vile little man.

Who in the world could possibly care what this sphincter with a drawl has to say about anything?

Some people just hang around too long.
