Wow. Talk about non-sequitur.
Wow. Talk about non-sequitur.These absurd charges, aimed at a freely elected POTUS.... sound like jokes but they are all to real &...considering that:
1.We have the first black President in tbhe history of this nation
2. Racism is not dead in this country
3. Gun & ammo sales are extremely high
I would say than anyone who doesn't recognize/admit that we are siting on a powder keg is either fooling themselves or trying to fool us.
What was really wrong, in my opinion, was Carter opening his big mouth about his opinion, which really has no hard evidence, other that being his opinion. I happen to agree that there's a possibility that this is a part of Mr Wilson's problem, but I don't have any real evidence, do I?That's why there are debate forums!
It would be pretty boring if all we ever said to each other was "I agree with you!"
I disagree with your point of view. My view is that, as you say......"Racism is a serious charge and is considered to be one of the most dispicable things a person can be. "......& therefore when a U.S. Congressman rudely shouts at the first black President in this country's history....on the floor of the Congress....when the President is addressing a Joint Session.........To not even consider the possibility that the outburst was racially motivated is wrong. All factors in making this determination should be considered: Mr. Wilson's past remarks, his associations, his voting record...everything.
It is doubtful that a true racist would ever admit such a thing...publicly..... so voters will have to decide for themselves what his motives were & judge him at the polls.
Ask that question to the Secret Service. (they are at high alert all the time with Obmaa)
It is undeniable that there is an undercurrent of violence towards President Obama which is being stoked daily by the far right.
Obama is not an American
Obama pals around with terrorists
Obama is a Muslim
Obama is a nazi
Obama is a Communist
Obama is a Socialist
Obama will take your guns away
Obama wants to kill your grandmother
Obama is destroying this nation

I thought you didn't do fast food?:2razz:
Of course it's racist, he was critical against Obama and apparently that defines racism now. There's no powder keg. Of course racism isn't dead; it probably never will fully be extinguished. But to basically claim that all criticism against Obama is rooted in some form of racism is just plain stupid.
Perhaps those making the accusation simply cannot conceive of any other possible source of the criticism?It's stupid, it's dishonest, it's inflammatory, and it says much more about the accuser than the accused.
Carter has a point.

Those who claim they KNOW Wilson's outburst was racially motivated are no more compelling than those who claim they KNOW it was not.
Unless you're a mind reader, no one can KNOW what is going on in another man's mind.
That being said, a reasonable person can have strong suspicions that Wilson's outburst was in fact racially motivated, & I believe that is what former President Carter was saying......He has suspicions..
Very little is know about SC Congressman Joe Wilson at this point, but there is enough evidence out there to convince me that racism MAY well have been his motive.
If so, it speaks volumes.That is one of the possible things it may say about the accuser, sure.
Carter has no point.
He says:
1) There is racism in the country. (Duh.)
2) Therefore, yelling "You lie!" at the President must be racially motivated.
Clearly, if you're white and from the south, racism is part of your psyche.I know it's not great evidence, but like some of you, I just have a feeling. Carter is a racist. After all, Carter is white, and he's from the South. To think otherwise is to deny that racism exists in this country.:roll:
Racists are easy to pick out of a crowd: they're the ones eating boiled peanuts and sweet potato pie.Clearly, if you're white and from the south, racism is part of your psyche.
Denying it only illustrates you havent taken the steps necessary to rid yourself of same.
Because there's OBVIOUSLY nothing else it could be.Actually, I think Carter's reasoning was that for a representative to get so heated over a speech, implies something deeper. Carter interpreted that something deeper as racism.
Support this.Whatever it was, it was an emotional reaction, a clear aversion towards Obama that had less to do with what Obama was saying than the fact it was him saying it.
I live deep into the south and the only time I hear the N word is listening to rap music on the radio
Actually, I think Carter's reasoning was that for a representative to get so heated over a speech, implies something deeper. Carter interpreted that something deeper as racism. I think it has more to do with the widening of the ideological divide and the propaganda perpetrated by the media. Whatever it was, it was an emotional reaction, a clear aversion towards Obama that had less to do with what Obama was saying than the fact it was him saying it.
