Carter: Protests Against ObamaCare Based on Racism

Written By : Duane Lester

It’s like I said in my new vlog, leftists will try to steer the debate towards the person via charges of racism rather than discuss the true heart of the matter, regardless of the topic.

Ever since PresBO announced he was running, the charges of racism have been leveled at every turn, even against Bill Clinton. It’s a weak argument and a logical fallacy, but it’s effective as Hell because a charge of racism generally results in the supposed racist forgetting about the real debate and instead focuses on defending themselves against the charge of racism.

That being said, let’s consider the words of one of the worst presidents in American history. President Jimmy Carter recently leveled an accusation at millions of American. Rather than not wanting any more government, rather than seeing the skyrocketing spending as a danger to the entire republic and rather than fearing a total disaster in America’s health care system, the protesters are just upset that a black man is living in the White House:

“I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American,” Carter told NBC News. “I live in the South, and I’ve seen the South come a long way, and I’ve seen the rest of the country that shares the South’s attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans.”

“That racism inclination still exists, and I think it’s bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people — not just in the South but around the country — that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It’s an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply,” Carter said.

He also lumped Rep. Joe Wilson into the category of racist for his outburst in Congress:

“I think it’s based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president,” he said.

I suppose now I could list the number of African Americans in George W. Bush’s cabinet, but that would be too “I’ve got black friends, too.”

I could list off the number of racist statements by the left, but that would be too tu quoque.

So how do you respond to this? Ignore it? No, you can’t ignore it.

You don’t allow it to change the focus of the debate. This is just a tactic to get the argument off the real subject, the expansion of government into unconstitutional areas and the encroachment of government power into our lives. This is more than health care reform. This is about cap and tax, bailouts, taxation, and the power of the individual. This is about the free market vs. socialism. This is about seeing the effects today’s actions will have on tomorrow and wanting America to be around when our grandchildren are born.

Allowing the left to direct the conversation away from these facts allows them to control the debate. Recognize what they are doing, call them on it and refocus on the real reasons for protest.

Freedom and liberty. That’s what this is all about.

I was not alone back during the election in discounting the claims by some that the election of Chimpy would somehow advance race relations in this country. In fact I and others pointed out that his election would probably set race relations back by a couple of decades due to resentment and possible backlash caused by the predictable increase in bogus charges of "racism" by whiney minorities and the left.

That's exactly what is happening.

I'm vindicated.

JImmah Carter supports a Second Final Solution.

Just pointing out a truth.
CoolCzech

Of course racism still exists. Vicious anti-Semite Jimmy Carter is living proof.

However, I have to cut Carter some slack. For decades now I always considered him the Worst American President EVAH, as well as the Worst Former American President EVAH.

However, as of this writing I now consider Carter only the second worst American President EVAH. And I have every confidence that come January 2013, Carter will be only the Second Worst American President EVAH.

That may not seem like much, but its the closest Carter has EVAH come to anything like improvement.
CoolCzech

edit – Jimmy will become the Second Worst FORMER President EVAH come January 2013.

God, how I loathe Carter.

Can we please sacrifice him to the Volcano Gods now? Please?? Do it for the corn! We need the ethanol, right?

If Carter can call criticism against Obama as racist then I can conclude that Carter's stance against Israel is anti-semetic.
http://Kingfisher Kingfisher

I can also claim that Carter's support of Hamas is anti-American and pro-terrorist since Hamas supports the killing of Americans.

I wonder if Carter will accept responsibility for Hamas' murder of innocent Jewish children some years back?

Will someone in his family please commit him to a nursing home somewhere. It's plain as day he has gone senile.

No. He'll simply deny it.

…and then start ranting about Joe Wilson or something. Straight out of the Liberal Playbook.

CoolCzech, with people like Grant, Andrew Johnson, Warren Harding, and Lindon Johnson all competing for that title it's not certain that we can hand Carter the "worst president ever" laurels just yet. But make no mistake about it, Carter was an abject failure and certainly the worst president of the last few decades.

Carter has been a self-hating ani-White racist since day one. For example he is in part responsible for the rise of Robert Mugabe. So is this crazy rant of his any surpise to anyone?
http://Good_Ol_Boy Good_Ol_Boy

Oh how I wish Carter wasn't from the South… the man is and always has been a complete an utter embarrassment.

I ask you, what has the man ever been right about? Why would anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty lend credence to a single word he utters?

Carter's just upset that Obama's giving him a run for his money as the answer to the trivia question: "Who is the worst President in American history?"

"I wonder if Carter will accept responsibility for Hamas' murder of innocent Jewish children some years back?"

Considering he visited the grave of Arafat to lay a wreath and graciously embrace members of Hamas while condemning Israel, he wasn't far from endorsing it.

I have to disagree b, let the fuckwad talk. It's most vocal in support of Nazi's or anti-Semites when their reputation is attacked.

Every time it writes it proves it is a fool. Watch, it is offended and will now respond to me.

You had best look to your history, you historically illiterate fuck. I have a very good working knowledge of what happend to Rhodesia and have a number of relatives and friends who lived through it. Can you say the same? "Uncle Bob" Mugabe was a scumbag, an anti-White racist, a Marxist, a criminal, and a terrororist from day one.

Your admiration for Mugabe is no suprise given the anti-white racism you have shown here in the past.

Fuck off and die, Frankie/m@rtha.

Carter certainly missed the boat on this one. ALL criticism of Obama is not race related, is some, sure but that is to be expectd in America, the majority of criticism is not race related however, its just people with different ideas on where this country should be headed. We should encourage this discussion as only through that does the country end up stronger.
Clint

Carter's just parroting what the entire left is saying because they can't think of any reasonable way that good, honest people can disagree with them or their messiah. Ergo, they must be secretly, possibly unknowingly, racist.

That's certainly a way to bridge the gap between yourself and the opposition.

You are correct. Joe Biden with his "clean aned articulate" comment proved that.

…since he himself has stated that he does not believe that opposition to his political agenda is being driven by racism.

You mean, the way Obama said to leave families out of the political debate when his wife and children were the targets, but immedicately dropped that stance when Sarah Palin's family was the target?

Obama is a pathetic liar that makes Bill Clinton look like an amature.
TheBaud

Posted by snohomish 2009-09-16 20:16:37

HORSESHIT!

When his wife was taking heat FOR HER CAMPAIGN COMMENTS, Obama complained loud and log about leaving families out of politics.

When Palin's entire family INCLUDING HER INFANT SON came under unwarrented and relentless attacks, Obama said ONE TIME, in response to a direct question, that families should be off limits. He then stood by silently as his minions viciously attacked Palins family.

Now, if you can tell me how criticism of Michelle Obama's campaing rhetoric is the same as attacks on the under-aged children of Sarah Palin, you might have a point. Until then, go fuck yourself!
CoolCzech

Meanwhile, the Weekly Standard Blog is reporting that Obama has decided to utterly cave to Putin the ex-KGB thug and unilaterally cancel the missile defense systems that were to be put in Poland and the Czech Republic.

As a Czech by birth, I'd like to tell Neville Obama, "Frig You!," and point out that surely Obama must absolutely hate white people, since he's just consigned tens of millions of them back in the Russian sphere of influence.

Frig all of you appeasers.

"The word "entire" is all inclusive. Thanks for verifying that Obama is not a leftist since he himself has stated that he does not believe that opposition to his political agenda is being driven by racism.

Ooh, you must think yourself so clever, so much in possession of a razor-like wit. And you are. As long as you hang around a group of five year-old kids. What's your next trick? Getting someone to say 'under where' so you can snigger like Beavis and/or Butthead?

Pathetic old man.

BTW, when you get done spewing your unwarranted assumptions about who CC is, what he believes in, and how he conducts his private life, you might consider apologising to him. That was one of the most presumptuous and degrading displays of stereotyping I've ever witnessed. It could only come from a misguided old fart like you.

Guys, guys…why are you even addressing "snohomish" aka groundhog? Yesterday afternoon he openly admitted he was a troll with no interest in discussing anything. You can see it for yourself in this thread:
http://rightwingnews.com/2009/09/white-student-be…

I know it's fun slapping idiots and all. But since the staff of this blog openly encourage troll posters and refuse to clean them out, the only way to get rid of them is to starve them by refusing to play their game.

Baud,

Conservatives just werent attacking her campaign rhetoric, which is fair game IMO, they were attacking how she looked, how she dressed, what her arms looked like. And I never heard Palin once say that those should be offlimits.
