Jimmy Carter: Wilson comments 'based on racism'
Source: Associated Press

ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter says Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst to President Barack Obama last week was an act "based on racism." Carter says Wilson's comment was part of an "inherent feeling" of some in this country who feel that a black man should not be president.

Carter called Wilson's comment "dastardly" and said the president should be treated with respect.

The South Carolina Republican lawmaker was formally rebuked Tuesday in a House vote divided by party lines. Wilson shouted "You lie!" during Obama's speech to Congress last Wednesday.

Carter was responding to a question submitted Tuesday night at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta.

Ahem........

I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE BULLSHIT RACIST ACCUSATIONS!!!!!!!!!

I disagree with the liberal policies, not the person.

I support conservatives such as Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Michael Steele, & J.C. Watts, not because of their color, but because of their beliefs.

Fuck off DUmmies, liberal sycophants and Jimmy Carter.

These morons know this. They use the race card to try to shut down the opposition. No one wants to be called a racist, so when you disagree with the man's policies the scream "racist" to try to shut you up...But I don't give a shit if they scream it or not. I know I'm not a racist and God knows I'm not a racist. That's all that matters.

The rest of these shit bags can gargle my balls.

I would advise keeping them away from your privates !

I said on another forum, fuck it, if disagreeing with Obama gets me labeled as a racist then I'm a racist. I'm going to put it on a t-shirt.

You know what is funny? Most of the people crying, "Racism!" are liberal whites! Notice how mum Jesse "Hymie Town" Jackson and Alwana Sharpton are. Even they know that crying, "Racism" at every turn is cheapening it. Pretty soon it's use will be cause for derision and ridicule.

Jimmy Carter: Wilson comments 'based on racism'

St.Louis — Former President Jimmy Carter admitted to being a dried up, bitter, old fart who just likes to see his name in print and be quoted in the Liberal Press so he can pretend someone gives a fuck about what he says. Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst to President Barack Obama last week was an act of "Speaking Truth To Power!" Carter says Wilson's comment was part of an "inherent feeling" of some in this country who feel the president doesn't have a clue.

Fixerated. :D

Good thing I can't be accused of racism for commenting, after visiting Carter's Presidential Library, that he lied in many instances. Perhaps he only has a different version of the truth. It's been some time that I was there, but remember feeling nauseous going through that library. Carter would have a good future writing text books for the kiddies, altering history to his version of the truth.

Carter is a nasty old man.

I think the race card has been played too often by people who have no legitimate claim to a placer at the table. A talker out here now equates "racist" with the way "heretic" was used 500 years ago.

I'm certainly past it.
