Jimmy Carter called Joe Wilson a Racist based on Wilson's outburst during the president's address on healthcare. "I think it's based on racism," Carter said at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."
While clearly inappropriate his comments were not racist. A democrat calling someone a racist is akin to calling them stupid. One of Sean Hannity's callers said "A democrat calling someone a racist is code for "You are winning the argument" How true. Joe Wilsons comments didn't mention race. He was just disputing BHO's claim that illegal aliens would be provided healthcare under this plan. Anytime someone is critical of this president they will get the race card thrown at them especially if they are right. If criticism is racism then the Democrats are as guilty as any other group. A quick google search of Michael Steele, leader of the Republican National Committee who is African American will yield numerous examples of the left criticizing Steele. By the left's definition this would be racism, except that Steele is a Republican so there is no mention of it by the media.
Carter is arguably the worst president in history. He was out of touch then as he is now. Look at the latest polls. Only 12% of likely voters think this is racially motivated. Pay no attention to Carter's Comments and keep up the fight to defeat goverment healthcare. This is just the latest in a series of attempts to get people to forget what the real issue is. Goverment take over of healthcare.
That's E's View
