Jimmy Carter is calling me a racist! How dare he?!  

What a short memory Jimmy Carter has. He needs to stop talking maybe. When he was into his eight months of presidency people were complaining - and it wasn't about the color of his skin, or the whiny slur to his voice, or the way he walked. People were complaining about his policies. Period.

That's a good spin on it! But more and more people are seeing it for what it really is! But this country has been heading for 3rd world status for many years now, is this some big revelation? tdemex

I agree with you. I am very tired of Democrats being racist. How can I say that when they keep crying racism for a black president? Well that is just it, the Dems. are the racist ones who keep hiding behind Obama's color. They are wielding his race as weapon against any one who dare disagree with their policies. Now they are wasting their time and our tax money debating and voting on whether or not Mr. Wilson should be punished for getting up set at what the President said and blurting out a truth. OK he should have kept his feelings in check until a more appropriate time, let it go and deal with the important stuff, or is it a smoke screen so they can sneak something past us.

Maybe,if Obama would start worrying about what the people want instead of what he wants,people would be behind him.Unfortunately,his own agendas are what he thinks about.I know he's only been in office 7 months,but that's 7 months in the wrong direction.

Can you beleive I have been told REPEATEDLY that nobody is making false accusations of racism at people who dare to oppose Obama's agenda? We've seen it here at mylot for about a year now! Now it's an ex-president doing it, AND a congressman saying that if Joe Wilson isn't condemned for speaking what was proven to be TRUE (even if it was ill-timed) the KKK will take over! WTF?

Making an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.

Anybody with a brain can tell the continued focus on Joe Wilson is political maneuvering and simply a distraction from more urgent issues. BTW, if I were Obama, I can't think of anyone I would least want to be coming to my defense than Jimmy Carter.

Good ole boy, jimmy carter....isn't he old enough now to have dymensia?
No matter what President there has been, there has always been those of us that disagree with things they've said and done.
I think you're right once again, Dragon and I guess that makes me a racist, too!

Firstly, I do not think that Jimmy Carter comes anywhere close to ineffectiveness an George W. Bush. I actually do not think the US will ever have a president as ignorant and out-of-touch with reality as W. Bush.

About Carter comment: I think Jimmy Carter was merely stating his views in light of his knowledge and reality about the republican congressman. While I did not and would not immediately categorize the republican congressman's outburst as evidence of racism, I however believe that the congressman was out of line when he interrupted the president. Do not forget that these congress people, while humans, are supposed to be trained and/or career politicians. There are rules in congress about making or responding to speeches and I think that the congressman should have waited until his turn to speak to make his rebuttal. Interrupting the president like the republican congressman did was an outright display of disrespect for both the president and the presidency. Now, whether or not the man is a racist is another matter altogether.

I agree, Carter is WAY off-base on that one. BUT, this is one of the same tactics they were trying to pull when Obama was running for office - that anyone who disagreed with him or did not want him in office was a racist.

I am not a racist and I did not want Obama in office because I did not believe he was the best person for the job. From what he has done an dattempted to do since he got into th eoffice - I was right.

There were a couple of blacks and a Hispanic that I would have loved to see in the President's office; but, they were not running or had already dropped out.

This is one way to try to keep the public's focus off what's going on in the congress and not on this bill. I'm sure that racism is still going on but not in this case. Joe Wilson should have kept his mouth shut. but emotions do get out of hand sometimes. When the president forgave Wilson that should have been the end of it. carter was way out of line. I think the President should have been the one speaking on this issue not his press secretary. The news media isn't helping either.
