ATLANTA - Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act "based on racism" and rooted in fears of a black president.

"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."

I don't remember Wilson saying "you lying N..... !

My God what is Carter talking about?

Who knows but Obama is making him seem real Presidential right now.

you are blessed with a lack of knowledge about racism.

carter lived with it and he understand that wilson didn't say the word boy, which in his younger years during segregation he would have even if the man he was talking to was 20 years his senior.

remember it's not too long ago that white people owned black people like you would own a car or your couch.

^ YOU LIE!

Rick - You are truly dillusional. So, just because someone is white then they are automatically racist??? WTF?????? How do you know Wilson almost said "boy" in his statement????? So, if any white man disagrees with Obama, he's a racist? What kind of logic is that?????

I believe you are part of the problem yourself, not part of the solution. In fact, you must be really feeling some white guilt. How many slaves did your parents own????? How often did you use the term "boy" when you was growing up?

The truth is, very few whites living today had relatives that owned slaves. Generations have passed and most Americans don't care about color any longer - hence a black President who was freely elected in this so-called deeply racist country.

Get a grip on reality. Carter's family must have been deep into slavery and he's trying to rid himself of his own guilt. He needs to stop speaking publicly because he's really give the Dems a bad name.....

Rickamaven, it was 145 years ago. And what? Are you Black now? What do you know about racism? Just because you want to be tied up and punished by Ann Coulter doesn't give you any understanding of slavery.

Joe Wilson did not say "boy", that was someone on the Left, who threw that in because Joe Wilson is white and Southern. Sounds like the Left are the ones being racists. Would they have picked on Joe Wilson if he had been black, or hispanic, or native American?

I'm part Commanche and Cherokee, are you going to give me back my land?

BTW, Jimmy Carter was the son of a wealthy farmer, who played with black kids growing up because their farm was so big there were few white families close by.

Jimmy Carter was an idiotic President who did more damage than good to the USA and who is proving to be an even more idiotic Ex-President. In case you haven't heard Jimmy's book is a "recommended" read by Osama Bin Laden. Dictators and Terrorists worldwide love Jimmy Carter because he makes them look like the "Good" guys.

Sometimes a man speaks what's on his own conscience....Jimmy [Carter] is a racist.

It is nearly impossible to know another person's true motives. Especially if you only have knowledge thru the media.

It is even more foolish to believe true anyone that says something like this

Playing the "Race Card" will not help getting universal healthcare through Congress.

This is victimism at its very best.

Watchyootalkin 'bout Willis?

Man, that's better than cutting an Ace with trump.

Jimmy Carter should stick with constructing houses rather than deconstructing unity in the house.

he's still around?

i guess it is true,

"The good die young."

#12...Uh, no he shouldn't.

There have been entire subdivisions condemned due to shoddy building and workmanship.

You wouldn't want to eat a cake made by an infant...why would you want a house built by unskilled labor.

This is another thing that sounds good, but it isn't. When I was re-doing my house I had some really good cabinets and some overstock that I couldn't return. I thought of them and asked if they wanted the stuff. I explained that the cabinets were removed by me and they were in exceptional shape as well as the new stuff that was still in the boxes. Their reply? "We don't take donations".

Oh well.

Carter is a blubbering old fool.....

Osama Bin Laden Endorses Jimmy Carter's Book

Jimmy Carter's loathing for Israel and preference for Palestinian Jew-Killers has been well-documented. And his tireless Israel bashing on behalf of Palestinian terrorists has won him at least one devoted fan. In his latest tape, Osama bin Laden, or his ghost, recommends several books for Americans to read, including Jimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid:

wilson did not disagree with President Obama, he insulted him.

my grandparents came from europe in the late 1800's to avoid pogroms. they owned a pair of shoes and the clothes on their back.

the fact that you are unable to recognize wlson for what he is, a small time congressman from a small white town, totally unknown until he made the stupid remark in a place that has rules, does not negate the reality.

sorry i don't have any white guilt, some of my friends are white.

ancestors should have killed the first foreigners that put their feet on native american ground, but then you would still be living in a buffalo hide home.

building casinos is probably the best way to get even.

but they don't allow cigar smoking in the casinos.

i found that strange.

Any disagreement with Rick is a clear sign of antisemitism.

For the record, you could say that he insulted the president had he said, "you liar!" By saying, "you lie!", he was actually making an accusation. One could argue that there was an implied insult in his accusation, but that's about it.
