Jimmy Carter: Wilson comments 'based on racism'

I get hives and start to wheeze every time I cross the Ohio into Hoosierworld.

For those of you who don't seem to understand the concept of "Suthun' Thinkin", and why this is such a big deal, an article explaining it.

Ya know, it's kinda hard to prove a point when we can't see it through all the Carter-jizz covering that article.

Why does CdM wank all over Carter, when Carter hates Jews?

Some of you people will always choose to ignore the political realities of the past 150 years.  That's a real shame.

He doesn't hate Jews, he simply doesn't like Jews as Bullies.  They're much more loveable as Underdogs.

Apparently, you missed the part where I acknowledged Carter's point about racism affecting respect for the office, but fail to see how an idiot redneck yelling "you lie," who would have done that to non-black politicians as well, is an example of it.

The problem is there's racism AND plain ol' idiocy in Congress.

It's merely a symptom of the disease that still pervades our Republic.

And no, he wouldn't have done that to a white President.

It would have been funny if he said "LYIN' WINDCHIME!" or something. 

But then that would have made Carter: correct

That's the great thing about playing the race card: you don't have to substantiate it, and whenever anyone disagrees you can just tell them they don't get it.

And I had hoped the Jesuits taught you better than that, Kimchi-on-the-Cob.

It works with gender too, Elaine.

Wow, that is the biggest load of horseshit you have ever blessed Languish with, Seedy.

Especially poor Carter, an irrelevancy of a man trapped between the twin giants of Nixon and Reagan.

Carter has been a nuisance and essentially a rogue agent who thinks he represents America in some semi-official capacity ever since he left office.

This isn't true.  When I first started posting on EUOT all the Americans thought Carter was the model former President.  It's only in the last 5 years or so that that's changed.

It's why Clinton hates him so much.

Their beef went way back.  It dates back to when Clinton was Governor and Carter President.

That's the great thing about playing the race card: you don't have to substantiate it, and whenever anyone disagrees you can just tell them they don't get it.

It's frustrating.  Michael Tomasky writes about this.  No-one uses plain racist phrases any more because it will get them crushed, but they still use the sentiments in less explicit ways.  Then when someone notices and picks them up on it it's them who are accused of playing the race card which is, strictly speaking, true in that they're the first to explicitly mention it.
