Jimmy Carter: The “overwhelming” portion of animosity towards Obama is racist
posted at 9:01 pm on September 15, 2009 by Allahpundit
Deep thoughts from the guy whose book on Israel was most recently plugged by, um, Osama Bin Laden. I’m tempted to tout Jesse Walker’s Reason piece for the third time today on HA as an explanation for Jimmeh’s cynicism here, but I can’t quite do it. The difference between Carter and most of the left, I think, is that he really believes this crap. And, to boot, he really believes he’s doing good by mentioning it rather than poisoning race relations by equating opposition to government expansion with white supremacism.
It’s pointless to try to explain to people like this that they’re well well well into “boy who cried wolf” territory when it comes to the race card, but Brit Hume’s going to try. You’ll find the clip of that below the Carter video.

Update (Ed): Just FYI, conservative blogs seem to be plagued at the moment by trolls using racially inflammatory language as a way to make Carter’s point. We’ve warned about this before, but I’ll say it again — people making racist comments in these threads will get banned with no warning and no debate. If you can’t make your point without dropping the “N” word or a variant, then hit the road. I’ve deleted several such comments, as well as responses that excerpted the language.

…coming from an anti-semitic terrorist-ass-licker, that doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot.
MadisonConservative on September 15, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Nut case…
IntheNet on September 15, 2009 at 9:03 PM
these guys are empowering actual racism by their constant attacks.
rob verdi on September 15, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Don’t worry Jimmy, we still hate you…
phreshone on September 15, 2009 at 9:04 PM
What you said.
Fletch54 on September 15, 2009 at 9:04 PM
….the anti-semitic, terrorit-ass-licker association called….they don’t want to be compared to this asscramp.
HornetSting on September 15, 2009 at 9:05 PM
The old fool is too stupid to realize that if he’d just STFU and go away, he would no longer bear the title of worst president ever. It’s all the fault of the Jooz anyway.
J.J. Sefton on September 15, 2009 at 9:05 PM
F*ckwad.
Monica on September 15, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Carter exposes his own racist tendencies by projecting them on others. Carter is a racist to be sure.

Oh, and he has also lusted in his heart.

RalphyBoy on September 15, 2009 at 9:06 PM
I believe most of the animousity that Carter has towards Israel is anti Semitism. Its only fair to state that.
William Amos on September 15, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Which half of him is being used as racism – his black half, or his white half.
HEY GUYS, HE’S NOT BLACK, HE’S HALF BLACK AND THE OTHER HALF IS WHITE.
stenwin77 on September 15, 2009 at 9:06 PM
He’s just jealous that he doesn’t have the same easy excuse for the overwhelming animosity towards him.
Jim Treacher on September 15, 2009 at 9:06 PM
He should know, his party voted against the Civil Rights Movement and founded the KKK….look it up in a history book….don’t depend on Wikipedia for anything!
sharinlite on September 15, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Carter later added,
“Just the white people are racist, minorities opposing Obama are just confused. You can see hatred in their creepy pale skin and deadened blue eyes. Man, I hate white people. “

Carter is stupid and evil
CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Heard Levin for a bit tonight and he nailed it. They talk to Carter because they know what he is going to say before he says it to fit the talking points. They may as well have talked to Jesse or Al for crying out loud.
Glad to see the Ass Clown mantle has been passed from Teddy to Jimmy.
JeffinOrlando on September 15, 2009 at 9:08 PM
I hate Jimmy Carter too, for much of the same reasons I hate Obama. I hate internationalist Socialists. Does that make me racist?
LA Conservative on September 15, 2009 at 9:08 PM

Ted Torgerson on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
The overwhelming portion of the foolishness emanating from Jimmy Carter is stupidity.
BD57 on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Fixed. You’re welcome. (I know what you were doing too) :)
I’m thinking that this President who spends most of his time bashing Israel and meeting with terrorists should shut the h*ll up about prejudice. Unless, of course, he’s willing to admit the Israelis have a right to be where they are.
mjk on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Carter must have borrowed O’s card
CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Salt peanuts to you too Jimmah!
sonnyspats1 on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Disagreeing with THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD is racist.
I didn’t see a rabbit hole, but I must have fallen into it.

Who let Uncle Jim-ah out of the attic again?
chickasaw42 on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
NBC has decided to embrace this racist narrative, own it and exploit it with no regard of proof.
This is a political disaster for Democrats.
AYNBLAND on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. What are we going to do with you?
ncborn on September 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Carter is a perfect example of the left’s hypocrisy.
He’s an antisemitic old cracker who I’m sure has had some ugly thoughts about other minorities, and yet they love him. Leftists always
loveadore losers. Conservative whites and blacks are dumb hicks according to them. It’s always, and only, about ideology.Cody1991 on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
How can that be?
I feel the same way towards Barack Obama that I do about Jimmah Carter.
Elizabetty on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM

BigMike252 on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
WOW !!
Good thing the ol’ Peanut Farmer “Smiley” Jimmah , reminded us how racist we all are ! After having it pounded it to our heads only 10 gazillion times over the past eight months, by every libtard and his cousin, some of us might have forgot.
cableguy615 on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Yep, that’s it Jimmy. All us white folk are born with the original sin of racist tendencies. This prevents us from seeing “you lie” as a racist comment.
I can’t believe liberals are this f-ing stupid.
jack herman on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
The parallels between this dufus and Obama are striking. Anyone ready for gas shortages and hostage crises?
Alfresco on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
I did read elsewhere today (Steyn maybe) that socialist has now become a race…
phreshone on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Whoever would have thought that the election of the first black president would poison race relations. And you know what? I blame Obama largely for that. He has cynically used race when it suits him, has refused to rebuke those who make spurious allegations of racism against his political opponents. And even worse, he has used every other kind of slander to demonize any and all opposition to his policies. As was true during the campaign, he didn’t have to stoop to charging anyone with racism because his supporters were all too eager to do it for him.
Not even a year into his term, and this man has been a disaster in every imaginable way for America.
ProfessorMiao on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
For those who wondered how we ended up with the disaster that is Obama…please remember that we voted this buffoon in too.
powerpro on September 15, 2009 at 9:10 PM
The death panel got sloppy.
the_nile on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Maybe this is why we should not have a black president.
The LEFT cannot handle it.
Elizabetty on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Oh Oh! Someone’s jealous of all Kanye’s attention!
chickasaw42 on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
More Salt Peanuts to you Jimmah!
sonnyspats1 on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
There is no other rational reason why there was uproar at the President’s school speech. If you are racist why hide it or deny it? Be proud of it.
Decider on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
who’d have thought that racism meant fighting the good fight. According to the Left, that’s what it means. He or she who stands up for what is right, small government, less spending, etc., is doing the “racist” thing. I like that narrative. Racist means good. What else can it mean, if it is defined as such?
BTW, I guess those voters who supported Alan Keyes over Barack Obama, were racists, too. Because, as everyone knows, Keyes is Caucasian.
keep the change on September 15, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Great. The peanut farmer is going to educate us on race. Did Carter hire any blacks, Hispanics, Asians, in his cabinet?
Jimmy is a loser and the second worst president, only succeeded by Obama.
cubachi on September 15, 2009 at 9:12 PM

CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Think of this as a good sign. The left has officially lost all of the argument and the only thing they have left is this.
They lost it on facts, reason and intellect. Now, they will resort to racism. The only suprise is that they have collapsed only 8 months in.
tatersalad on September 15, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Liberals can’t understand why people vote “against their self interest”. They assume anyone not voting for benefits on someone else’s tab is ignorant. Their egos prevent them from seeing any other point of view.
jhffmn on September 15, 2009 at 9:13 PM
so now what can i say about obama..thats the plsn. lolz obama is a fucking douche and a yellow/red one at that

Jimmy Carter, the world punching bag. Born without gonads or testosterone, no one is really sure of his/her gender.
Jeff from WI on September 15, 2009 at 9:14 PM
What does this make, the 12th story/column in about 3 days about how disagreeing with Obama is racist?
Wow, what an amazing coincidence, no?
Daggett on September 15, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Anndd . . . (drumroll) . . . he’s STILL irrelevant!!! (Applause!)
rebuzz on September 15, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I’m underwhelmed.
But at least the liberal Democrats are able to speak with one voice and stay on message — all criticism of Obama is evidence of racism.
What do these fairies make of white conservatives who also despise Reid and Pelosi? Or is that too inconvenient?
Jaibones on September 15, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Obama is half white and half black. Does Carter have some information that the black folks are starting to hate Obama’s white half? ’cause most of us white folks hate his socialist way of thinking.
MikeA on September 15, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Jimmy Carter: Fair peanut farmer, crummy carpenter, horrible President.
Jeff from WI on September 15, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Jimmy Carter has been eating too many peanuts…
djn on September 15, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Yes our issue with Obama could not be due to the fact that:
1- he promised his minions that abortion would be part of any healthcare plan
2- or that he is spending like bush on roids
3- that he wants far too much control when it comes to health care and to business
4- that he essentially told the right to shut up after claiming to want to be bipartisan
5- that he has NO business experience and thinks he can run GM
6- that he collected email addresses of people off a government website.
Yep could not be those among others
CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 9:16 PM
I have two comments…no, three.
If Obama had an ounce of integrity he would speak on this subject and tell everyone to shut their pieholes and calm down on the race thing…now is the time for the ‘weeweed up’ speech.
Someone alert the media…we’ve found someone who seems to think he can read the minds of anyone who speaks against the big O.
I confess that I was born in California and and I’m white.

4 words: Jimmy Carter Desert Classic.
3 questions:
1) Who was it that intervened in the ground commander’s plan?
2) How many ‘good actors’ were left in the sun to die?
3) How many days did the hostages remain in captivity thanks to your mistakes?
NEVER AGAIN!

Anyone wonder if the Carter’s mortgage was at 23% during his term in office like mine was?

All I remember about Carter was my parents changed political affiliation and we sat in lines for hours trying to fill our cars up with gas.
truetexan on September 15, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Brit Hume…….
You forgot about Husseins Rev., Rev. Wright.
Moreover, It seems that the only one screaming racism today is White News commentators, with ratings in the toilet! (i.e. Matthews, MadCow, Olby, Janene Barfalo) Did I miss anyone?

Perhaps someone needs to have a sit down with Jimmeh, and enlighten him as to the myriad of reasons we oppose Barry.
His race didn’t even make the top twenty.

Speak for yourself on racist feelings, Jimmeh. Opposition to Obama has more typically to do with that which you call Americans’ “inordinate fear of communism.”
ForNow on September 15, 2009 at 9:22 PM
I’ve really had it with this entire opposition to Obama is “racist” crap. At whom can I lash out? These people cannot possibly be serious. It’s more likely that the entire Liberal establishment is handed their talking points and dutifully recites them. It’s disgusting.
I for one won’t shut up and I don’t give a rat’s arse what I’m called. Obama is a radical socialist determined to impose a statist agenda on a free people. Period! You cannot deny the truth.
