KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: Breaking news at this hour: Saying the inclination to racism in the country still exists, former President Jimmy Carter has tonight told NBC News that it has again bubbled up to the surface and that much of the most extreme animosity towards President Obama stems from the belief—again quoting Jimmy Carter, “that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country,” unquote.With a hilariously studied seriousness, , Keith Olbermann and Lawrence O’Donnell discussed Jimmy Carter’s charges that racism was behind the opposition to Obama as though it was a brand new thought, rather than something both blabbers had been throwing against the wall and trying to make stick for weeks.
While this charge has been common on MSNBC since Chris Matthews and supposed conservative columnist Kathleen Parker tried 2 months ago to make ALASKAN Sarah Palin the pinup girl for Southern White Male Bigots, the new Party Line is that Congressman Joe Wilson is the chief of the New Confederacy.
In the most coordinated attack on the South since Grant and Sherman, Democrats and liberal pundits since this last weekend have fanned out across the media conducting a scorched earth offensive designed to contain the opposition to one quarter of the country.

This is a remarkable statement, considering that President Obama was elected to his office by white people. How could he have been elected if everybody is racist? This specious reasoning is what passes as news?
“Olbermann is not just a dummy,...”
This southern boy of 72 years wishes he had the power to implant about a million chiggers in Keith Olberman’s abundant a$$.

Go ahead liberals, piss off the entire south and Midwest while your at it. Call them all racists.
My God what morons.
They act like whites never voted for Obama.
I wish Thomas Sowell was in the white house, does that make me a racist?
If I may pontificate, racism will always exist as long as people are fallible. The point is, America has long managed the tendency toward tribalism far better than anywhere else. Utopians cause destruction and chaos wherever they practice their particular brand of passionate self-regard.
Exactly. Why couldn’t the first Black POTUS have been a real, all-American guy, with a couple of hitches in the Army under his belt? No, instead, we get these effete, little, East Coast liberal without any work experience. Carter is a despicable creature, IMO.
Could southern white men be called Appalachian-Americans?
The great thing about this “racism” campaign is this means the Democrats are losing and losing “big time.”
The break the “racism” emergency glass when they are losing on the issues and have nothing else to run to.
The American people are going to be so tired of these people.
Keep it up Dems, it is getting very funny!
Wait a minute, I’m white, I live in the South, I oppose Obama’s plans to run this country into the ground. I guess that makes me a racist! Thanks, my eyes have been opened to the truth! Now I can start working on my oppressed “White Guilt” and get on with my life. NOT!! Sorry Jimmy Carter doesn’t speak for me.
Carter also commented that Obama started out as a young “black boy”. I get what he was trying to say, but still there are MANY ways of expressing the same thing without sounding...racist!
Hello? Is this 911? Could you please send a Rubber Truck to MSNBC studios?? You may need a stun gun???
” I oppose Obama’s plans to run this country into the ground.”
So do I! It’s not his blackness that any one gives a whit about; it’s his very obvious REDness that we’re protesting! What is so difficult to comprehend regarding our desire NOT to live in a Soviet republic?!
Are you still a racist if you disagree with Obama white half?
“So do I! It’s not his blackness that any one gives a whit about; it’s his very obvious REDness that we’re protesting! What is so difficult to comprehend regarding our desire NOT to live in a Soviet republic?!”
That my friend is the million dollar question.
I voted for Alan Keyes but I am against Obama. Does that make me half racist?
Who’s the white guy next to Odumbo?
Funny stuff. Even CNN laughed at Jimmy’s charge of racism (except for the idiot Roland martin), but Olbermann is still trying to pretend Carter has any credibility.
Didnt a woman who had a sexual encounter with Olbermann say he had a really small penis and he chewed on the pillows?
