Jimmy Carter: Joe Wilson Called Obama A Liar Because He’s Racist
I say it over and over again: The more unpopular Obama and his policies become the more liberals are going to blame any sign of that unpopularity on racism.
ATLANTA—Former President Jimmy Carter says Congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Barack Obama last week was an act “based on racism.” Carter says Wilson’s comment was part of an “inherent feeling” of some in this country who feel that a black man should not be president.
Carter called Wilson’s comment “dastardly” and said the president should be treated with respect.
Right. Because it can’t just be because Obama was lying and that said lies made Wilson angry.
You can think Wilson was wrong to shout at Obama like that (I don’t, personally) but to say that he’s a racist is wrong. Shouting at someone is one thing. Impugning the man’s motivations with baseless accusations of racism is quite another.
If you ask me, Jimmy Carter ought to apologize to Wilson.
