[ianschwartz]

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former President Jimmy Carter said he has been extremely bothered by the heightened climate of racial and other hate speech since the election of President Barack Obama.

[Blue Jays]

Jimmy Carter was a truly horrible POTUS.
He should be very thankful for Barack Hussein Obama now becoming the worst POTUS in history in his place.

[joejm65]

Racism against a half-white guy? No. Hate speech against an anti-American communist? Sure, why not?

[Gay State Conservative]

Jimmah....go fornicate yourself!

[DDLL]

Oh c’mon! Does Anybody even CARE what Jimmy Carter has to say? What was ‘The Worst President Ever’ is now the Second Worst President Ever. The leftie loons just pull up any poor excuse of a warm body who will parrot their nonsense.

[RingerSIX]

I hate Communists. Obama is a Communist. Carter’s logic is flawed.

[hinckley buzzard]

Carter has advanced senile dementia and is not be taken seriously any longer. Unlike President Reagan, Carter doesn't have the integrity to retire from the arena. His mental disability threatens to do harm to the Nation.

[Adder]

Jimmah..stfu.

Raght now, y’ heah?

[sourcery]

Playing the race card means automatic, irrevocable forfeiture. Jimmy Carter just lost, the debate is over.

[GloriaJane]

This from the man who was the worst president we ever had. But if obama keeps it up, he will win the title, the worst president we ever had, for himself.

[Redleg Duke]

Jimmie who?

[pissant]

It’s hilarious. Once it became clear that the Obama agenda was tanking, Axelrod must have sent the memo to all media and democrats to pull out the race card.

[Bullish]

Hey Jimmy, we hated your guts too. Was THAT racism?

Jimmy Carter Claims There Is "Racist" Tone Against Obama

Look, you old fraud, my great grandparents never had any slaves, can you say that?

[jslade]

Just die Jimmah

[dalebert]

how long is jimmuh goin to live

[Porterville]

From what I read out of liberal history books, it takes an old white- Anti Semmetic Georgian Peanut farmer to know about racism

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Folks, this playing the race card on an epic scale is scary stuff, the libs have no idea what they are doing.

This stands to blow up on two fronts.

1. The blacks who will take it literally and begin “defending” Obama

2. The Whites who will take huge offense at being called racist for opposing his policies who will just push harder to oust Obama and his ilk which will further inflame number 1.

Scary storm brewing and the libs have no idea what they are doing here.

[Upstate NY Guy]

Mr Peanut continues to prove Dick Cheney correct when he stated Carter was becoming:""increasingly irrelevant"

[The Comedian]

If anybody knows racism, it's socialist Democrat. They practically invented the condition.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[paulycy]

[pepperdog]

He must be talking about the hatred of whites displayed for the world to see by the black political appointees in the Obama administration. It is really taking effect with the young black males, witness the beating of a white boy by blacks today, and not one word by the national media on this obviously racial attack. For shame!

[johniegrad]

Partially correct, noob.

If anybody knows racism, it's socialist Democrat. They practically invented the condition. it's Carter the avowed antiSemite.

[pepperdog]

Wish I had read you comments before I replied to the headline. You are so right and your No. 1 is the young blacks beating the white boy on the bus...see it's already starting and there will be hitting back, for self preservation will ultimately prevail. Truly scary and the libs hold the total responsibility for this.

[lovesdogs]

The Whites who will take huge offense at being called racist

I can only speak for myself. But I am past offense. The first time it happened while I was making calls at a McLame/Palin office, it knocked the breath out of me. I have been called many things in life, but never until that day...a racist.

IMO you only get to stun people with that one time. Last week I saw two kids standing outside the Pet Supermarket door looking at the logo on the door featuring a lot of people. One of the kids pointed out that there were no blacks depicted and the other said "yeah that's downright racist"...the only though in my mind was a curse about public schools.

Racist racist racist racist racist...say it some more liberals. I no longer care.

[Albion Wilde]

Let’s see: an anti-Semite calls tax protesters racist. Hmmmm.... having a hard time following the logic here....

[bamahead]

You mean this Jimmy Carter?

[RummyChick]

I am anti red...this morning on beck they were talking about how Dunhams moved to Seattle to put Ann in the little red school....one known for communism.

I keep hoping our country will not be destroyed by 2010 so we can take back Congress...but I don’t even know if we can make it that long.

[afnamvet]

Jimmah plays the race card. Anyone who disagrees with obummer and his minions is a racist. Gotcha.

Everyday it seems the national mood ratchets up. I believe we are at the last turn before we all reach the SHTF moment.

[Manic_Episode]

Obamas anti-American policies would fail no matter what the race the commie happened to be.

[Fiddlstix]

I hate Communists. Obama is a Communist. Carter’s logic is flawed.

Please allow me to make a correction:

I hate Communists. Obama is a Communist. Carter’s logic is flawed. Carter is a closet communist.
(As far as logic goes Carter hasn't had a logical thought in his whole life)

[Chode]

Ohh WOe is me... Whys everybody pickin on me???

[TNCMAXQ]

I would expect nothing less from this dirtbag.

[DoughtyOne]

Chaos is exactly what the left wants. Obama is trying to break the bank. He is also trying to start racial friction. He is also trying to boil up civil unrest between the left in the United States and the sane people.

Whatever happens along these lines, it just strengthens his hand.

We’ll never hear a peep about that bus altercation where a White kid got beat up twice.

Where do you think those kids got license to think that was okay?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Jimmy Carter is MSNBC’s Viagra.
Obamaman and Larry O’D are in the throes of ecstasy over Jimma announcing that whites, especially Southern whites,
are all racist and hate Barry solely because of his skin color.
They’re so excited that they’re just a few steps away from asking viewers
to light torches
and hunt down white conservatives.
It was jaw dropping , even for MSNBC.

[Judges Gone Wild]

Every time Jimmy Carter opens his mouth, he reveals what a hate-filled despicable human being he is.

[sand lake bar]

Jimmy the Pimp

[TADSLOS]

Because Jimmah sez so, that’s why...

[Raebie]

If someone called me a racist 4 years ago, I would have gone off. Now...I could care less. It’s all sound and fury signifying nothing.

[Blue Jays]

Excellent analysis and I completely concur, The Magical Mischief Tour. Bravo!

Additionally, Jimmy Carter is calling Republicans racists...the exact same ones who would have voted for Condoleezza Rice over John McCain for president in a heartbeat if they had the choice...does he mean those "racists" when he says these dumb things?

[mefistofelerevised]

Carter is so stupid and shallow and phony. pos

[Moonman62]

I only hate the half of Obama who is white.

[bfree]

I’m waiting for this anti-American POS to die so I can get a day of to celebrate a state funeral. FUJC

[cricket]

It is a wonder these Libs - or worse - like Carter, can keep their eyes open, given the size of the racist log-in-eye they carrry; and in Carter’s case - like all of them - seeing is hearing. . .

[az_gila]

OK - how long did the peanut farmer belong to a church that did not allow blacks in?

Jimmy has his own Rev. Wright, just in reverse, and he threw him under the bus too...:^)

Perhaps he forgot his own history?

[Rosemont]

First Jimmy Carter sticking up for the second Jimmy Carter.

[OpusatFR]

Sorry, Jimmah, but money has no color and the TARP, TALF, Stimulus, bailouts of the mega money firms and Goldman Sacs calling the shots along with this ill-advised healthcare debacle while 30 million Americans are out of luck because of unemployment, underemployment, outsourcing, and lack of hours worked is not racism.

ENOUGH!

[Uncle Hal]

Carter is an idiot.

[RatRipper]

Jimmy Carter . . . I hate that sorry a$$ white boy.
