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, hes 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.

Hey, Jimmah, I think it was “racism” that caused those helicopters to crash in the desert.

There are plenty of African-Americans qualified to lead this country. Obama ain’t one of them.

Carter? Is he still alive? I guess it’s true what they say about bad grass. And, is it true that eating too many peanuts causes dementia?

And to think Carter has an extremely high IQ...
Yet not a lick of common sense...
Obama's poll numbers are worse than his were.

...these days Jimmy Carter is the best campaign worker conservatives can have. 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.

Obama is a Human. I'm running for intergalactic office and I fear that my opponents have a problem with other universal molecular types and promote only Humans. Sincerely, The Future Universal Dictator.

Why does anybody listen to this guy. He was probably the worst President of the last century and he certainly is the worst Ex President.

To: TigerLikesRooster
People disagree with Obama - but I haven’t seen “hatred” for him - but I have seen hatred for Carter. Carter is such a lying two faced scum sucker... And now, he’s a race baiter...

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?
