Yesterday former President Jimmy Carter again suggested that the feeling behind the recent protest against the Obama administration and their policies are the result of racisim.  This is the second time this week that he has made the suggestion.  He said:

 ”When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds”

“I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be African American.

“It’s a racist attitude, and my hope is and my expectation is that in the future both Democratic leaders and Republican leaders will take the initiative in condemning that kind of unprecedented attack on the president of the United States,” Carter said.

Really Jimmy?  Maybe you are right we could have done something like this:

Or This

 

Or This

Or This

Or This:

 

Or Finally, maybe this:

Unprecedented indeed.  

Maybe the bar has been lowered so much over the past 8 years that you fail to recognize your own role in changing the tone in Washington. 

It has been a consistent tactic of the left when backed into a corner cry Racism.  No doubt, we will soon hear how racism is fueling the movement against ACORN, despite the clear evidence of their misdeeds.  To their credit the Whitehouse has said they do not believe that racism has had anything to do with the protests, yet Jimmy Carter is dominating the headlines with this tired old message.  I think the work he has done with Habitat for Humanity is wonderful, but he should retire from the political speaking circuit and leave the real work of governing to adults.
