Jimmy Carter is a fool. That may not be the most civil of descriptions, but it is the most fitting one. Sometimes it’s more important to be factually correct than to be politically so.
Carter’s statement that Rep. Wilson is a “racist” for calling out Barack Obama on a mistruth is as troubling as the needless and petty resolution passed by his party, if not more so. And in making that statement, Jimmy Carter brings hypocrisy to a new art form.
Carter’s tactic is as dangerous as it is shameful. Those who use the smear of “racism” lightly only increase paranoia and further divide the citizens of this great nation. Using accusations of racism as a political weapon is shameful.
Far worse still is the use of false accusations of racism to stifle political dissent. There can be few things more harmful to the health of a democracy. What’s more, holding someone above reproach because of his or her race is the very definition of racism. Such an attitude also allows for the unchecked growth of federal power.
I asked Bernard Sansaricq, the GOP’s first Caribbean-American congressional candidate, what he thinks about the situation. Sansaricq is the former President of the Haitian Senate and a renown human rights leader. He is running against Alcee Hastings, a Carter appointed judge who was impeached by the entire Congress.

Only losers play the race card; Carter not only proves it, but underlines it several times for emphasis.
With each utterance from his mouth, jimmah subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge.
Carter is a pathetic old FAILED X-Pres.
He gave Americans 4 years of pure Hell. Now he wants to destroy whats left of our society by trying to foster a race war. A-hole
The Democrats always boast of their concern for the common man (or the pc common person). I can clearly remember just how bad things were for the average blue collar slob under Jimmy because I was one.
The annual raise you got was meaningless because inflation had your earnings nosediving in real value.
The interest rates were 18% or higher so forget buying a home but your landlord was raising the rent every month or two.
If you were lucky enough to not get laid off, you had to wait in line for hours every week to get gasoline for the wife and carpool.
Yeah Jimmy, those were the good old days.
Now, now, no need to insult urinals... One of them would have made a better president. :)
Powerful truth... Thanks for posting this, Leah.
He's a bad person - one of our worst Presidents.
Is my memory failing, or did the DNC purposely NOT invite Jimmuh to its 1984 national convention? He was THAT much in disfavor, even among his own party, that they shunned their then only living former president?
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

Someone put a nail between his eyes.
Thank you!
