Jimmy Carter the Racist in Black and White
Jan Tyler, a former Jimmy Carter staffer has an incredible blog post up about her former boss. She leads in discussing about how much the “racist” charge stings and then relates the attack to the Democrats attempt to slur opponents:
I think about each of these racist charges, if only fleetingly. As Election Reform Examiner.com, I’m under siege by lefties who call me racist and stupid. Internet exchanges can be ugly and utterly removed from reality. It’s an alternate universe with no rules. Knowing this is no comfort when being smeared as racist for your beliefs. You are forced into vigilance and introspection.
Therefore, it was a special hurt when Jimmy Carter accused Barack Obama’s critics of being racially motivated. When you are an 84 year old former President, you can do just about anything you want. I’m sure President Carter is surrounded by really smart people who adore him. It was like that when I worked for him. Someone needs to gently nudge Carter to re-think profiling all Obama’s critics as racist. In fact, he should hire a no-man.
This flier was sent to barber and beauty shops, in envelopes addressed by me, when Jimmy Carter ran against Carl Sanders in the l970 Georgia gubernatorial campaign. It is racist. Hamilton Jordan, Carter’s friend and long time associate, created it . In my naivete (I was 20), I didn’t consider the racism, instead, it was a great way to score a win against the Republican candidate. Get that? Accusing the Republican candidate of cavorting with blacks. Reverse racism?
The flier is only a historic footnote. I do not know if Jimmy Carter was even aware we were doing those things. It shows the complexity of Jimmy Carter’s character. Hans von Spakovsky, posting on The National Review Online, comments on the same. In l956 Carter attempted to halt construction of a new black school, reacting to the segregationists who wanted to keep black and white children apart.

People aghast at Pres. Carter’s penchant for speaking the truth about Israel compel them to smear him.
Wilson’s sense of white privilege compelled him to break decorum (to the cheers of those also seeking to marginalize the president).
Good take on this from the Rude Pundit (see: http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/regarding-jimmy-carter-was-this-even-up.html ) and JR at DailyKos (see: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/9/17/783096/-Jimmy-Carter-knows-racists-when-he-sees-them. )
People are aghast at President Carter’s penchant for engaging his mouth while leaving his brain at the cleaners.
And if you think that repeatedly calling white racist for catching Obama in a lie is going to make us ignore the lie, well, that rabbit just isn’t going to come out of the hat anymore. The Left has rendered the word meaningless.
The former peanut farmer and prez seems to me to be a little on the senile side of life and reasonable thinking. For instance, if a black man disagrees with a white president is he considered to be a racist? What about a black man who would disagree with Obama, what is he considered to be, maybe a lighter skinned racist, or a darker skinned racist? What foolishness and childishness is this racial card that is being used on those who simply disagree with the president. Come on, give me a break! Grow up and get a life, peeps!
It is often a tragedy when one overstays his welcome. This is the case of Jimmy “the Dhimmi” Carter, the “brave” Commander-in-Chief that left so many Americans to rot in the hands of Muslim extremists for 444 days and did nothing except, maybe, lament.
Whatever his says is totally immaterial. He had four years to prove he is a MAN and failed: as a result, the American people kicked him in the … back and threw him out of office. Now, when senility is taking over, he is suddenly worried about his legacy. He shouldn’t be. There isn’t any. Not even the Nobel Peace Prize that he won for lodging and feeding the Egyptian and Israeli prime-ministers – both hungry for an agreement and on the lookout for a convenient venue.
Jimmy boy, it is high the time to get up and leave. The American people wish you, from the bottom of their hearts, “Good riddance, good bye!”
Jimmy Carter has a documented history of racist behaviors/initiatives, and Carter has ALWAYS been an anti-Semite. Never a bright man, he does have a wee bit of brain there. But he IS undoubtedly an idiot – a “useful idiot” to America’s enemies.
I slept very well last night secure in the knowledge that i never voted for this turkey.
It is sad that Americans fell for the big toothy idiot grin but had they looked at the eyes they could have seen the lights were on but no one was at home. Carter is a racist and an anti-Semite and always has been. He is soaked in Arab oil money which mostly built his library. I do not know how he lives with himself. He has also haunted every President since his failed tenure.
Fellow Americans; I am ashamed to be of the same nation as Mr. Carter, given his last few years of ill-lucid speak!! I voted for him and am ashamed of that action as well, given the outcome of Islam-O-Fascism’s greater grip on the USA since them to this very date!! God be with him in his last days, that he would repent of his misspeak. I say this realizing that I too am a sinful man…..we must pray, pray, pray!!!!! God Bless America….America Bless God!

Another reason that the Republicans lost control of both houses was also the support of the Republican leadership for amnesty in 2006 this left many reps with a bitter taste in there mouth that our laws could be ignored and they simply stayed home. Amnesty was the catalyst
Criminals lets see you mean like that fine dan Rostancoski, The noble and honest democrat Jefferson congressman from LA. with the 100K in his freezer or are you referring to the democraps that were prosecuted in Abscam of with Murtha just barely escaped for taking bribes. Now there is impeached federal judge Alcee Hasting, Mayor crackhead Barry from Washington DC, Not to mention the fact that more people from the Clinton administration pled guilty to crimes than any administration in history, We can move on back to Tamaney Hall where Teddy R, Had to go in and clean out the corupt democraps that were even selling jobs as police officers. There is no comparison in coruption. The democraps are the most corupt organization in history and ACORN is there step child. Just scratching the surface here boss.
Thruster lololol you have stopped your medication. Carter is responsible to a great degree for the terror we face today and have faced. You tell a deliberate lie about one of the five greatest Presidents in history. I guess you believe that George Bush flew a secret SR 71 Blackbird to Iran and made the deal. You sir are also insane.
Thruster,
What do you mean when you state that Carter was the target of character assassination??? First off, you actually have to have character in order for it to be assassinated, and second no one had to do anything to Carter. He was fully capable of killing himself off with his incredible ignorance, lack of experience and by surrounding himself with similar dunderheads, he continually took aim at himself by choosing to substitute his brand of Progressive fantasy-land over the reality of the dangerous and volatile world that we lived in.Jimmy Carter is his own worst enemy still living in his created sense of self-superiority and denial of his impact on American history. It is what is is. Jimmy needs for someone to kindly remind him that he can humbly excuse himself from the political scene and retire back to the front porch rocker. No one will think ill of him.

Undoubdtly onr of the reasons for Carters horrendous failures was he was busy managing who used the Whitehouse tennis court. Something he did for spite. If you ask anyone on his Secret Service detail he was a mean and nasty individual.
I’m tired of carter the farter. In fact, he would be more productive just sitting in a chair and letting one go instead of spewing out vomit from his mouth. It gets old along with his lefty dingbats.
Jack,
I am a Georgia girl transplanted to California so please don’t hold it against me when I tell you that I actually know Jimmy and “Rosie” Carter. He is not stupid, but, he is also not wise. Although he is known through family and I have only met him on a dozen or so occaisions, I was not fond of his “gee whiz” and ‘awe shucks” personality that hid a very volatile temper. He has a beautiful, wonderful wife that is gracious, honest and would be a treasured friend to anyone. Like they say, opposites attract. His political campaigns ran on silent segregation and slammed anyone for “consorting with the colored”. In the governors race, he slammed his GOP opponent for having a church open to African-Americans.Having open, mixed church congregations was still evolving in Georgia and Carter made full use of innuendo and the silent spread of rumors, fliers, radio ads, and other forms of racist propaganda. I feel sorry for Rosie. She is not like him but has a deep faithfulness to her husband. In Georgia they refer to people such as Carter as “being a bit touched” or “just not right in the head”. They do care for their loved ones so afflicted, but, make sure that they are suppervised and stay out of trouble. Just ask Nan.

I have been married to a wonderful woman that was born in Ga for over 30 years. I have worked in that fine state serving FFJ warrants and also California over the years. I have been to Plains several times. I hold no ones birth against them and I really cannot speak with any knoledge in reference to Rosaline Carter other than to say she must be a tough woman to stick with that man all these years. However Jimmy is a different story his actions and words prove more and more his bitter anti-Semetism he might be one of the most evil people that there is because of all the harm he has done. But be assured There are many fine people from GA. and I have met them so no worries.
Edit: That should be “…repeatedly calling whites ‘racists’ for catching…”
Mssr. TheBanque
Damn… we finally agree on something !
Here’s what racism looks like folks…
I’m not surprised that Mr. Thruster, the most vile and repulsive anti-semite here at NewsReal really loves Jimma boy..
Why don’t you get out your white robe and go haunt someone else’s blog Lance ?
Go back to the daily kos.. you should feel right at home with those bigoted hate merchants……
Trolling again Mr. Thruster?
The article is about the former President’s comments regarding racism, not Israel. Are you so hell-bent on Israel’s destruction you see nothing else?
Well, well. I am a Georgian by birth and I know so much about jimmie!!
I know he lied in the 1976 Presidential campaign when he called himself a “POOR PEANUT” farmer form Plains. Georgia. That lie stank so bad that even a PIG could get nauseous from the STINK!
He was the richest man in the whole county where PEANUTS are king. I know that part of Georgia real well and I know about the CARTER FAMILY, Billy and the whole lot of them.
He was a sorry governor and cheating husband. Yes, the Sunday school teacher from Plains, Ga. had women on the side while his dear little wifey stayed home and tended to a woman’s duty…HOUSE WORK and CHILD CARE.
This lady,Ms Tyler is right.
My “bestest” friend Maxine’s mom had a little beauty salon in the back of her house. My mom, her sister and I ALWAYS got our hair done there!! It was a neat little place and she always played Elvis records while we there!!! There were Cokes and peanut butter cookies ALWAYS… IT WAS JUST GREAT!!
Maxine’s Mom got one of those flyers and I remember it so well because Maxine’s mom was from “UP NORTH” like we used to used to politely call Yankees back then.
She put the thing on a wall!! Told us to look at that thing!! This is just nasty!
GUESS WHO SHE VOTED FOR AND CAMPAIGNED FOR…. the REPUBLICAN and so did my Mother and the rest of my family. Except for an Uncle, by marriage who was from Texas, a yellow dog Democrat and related to Lyndon Johnson.
Unfortunately, jimmie went as far as any evil,lying, ________ can go politically IN THIS LAND. Question is who was his PUPPET MASTER? Not the American people for sure. We deserved FAR better than him!
Jimmy Carter was a racist also an extremely horrible prez…I remember Carter very well a lot of young folks haven’t a clue what a rot gut he was, he wasn’t good to the Black Americans at all, matter of fact, Jimmy Carter shun Black America…Jimmy Carter is for segregation, Jimmy Carter is the racist, he’s racist against Jews as well…Anyone that thinks Carter is a good man, is a liar!

Pres. Carter’s dealings with Israel is one of the reasons he continues to be demonized and marginalized. It’s the price one pays for truth-telling. Plenty of incompetents are talked about glowingly in the MSM as long as they echo the official narrative.
There’s a similarity between Carter and Obama:
Carter got into the white house because of a perfect storm… Nixon had been disgraced, Ford pardoned Nixon, and was unelectable after that… But Nixon lied…. and the country’s feelings about republicans were at a record low level, so it was inevitable that a democrat win the next election… unfortunately, they chose Jimma…
No other republican president ever became as despised by the voters until Bush II. Of course Bush was the victim of an 8 year character assassination engineered (IMHO) by the Clintons and their democratic team simply to insure that Hillary got her turn after Bush… When we combine that with the fact that Bush was in fact a dolt who didn’t play well on TV, and who made some serious blunders, it was once again inevitable that a democrat win the next election… When it arrived last November, the country was already beginning to catch on to how duplicitous an ego maniac Hillary was, and then along came Barry, with the most dishonest campaign in history, who just surfed the big wave from another perfect storm right into the oval….
Oy !
Not another one… Puleeeessse
Perfect example of “the 180 rule”. Accuse others of your own crimes. Carter was subject to an unrelenting character assassination whereas Bush II still managed to get good press despite his continued lying and bumbling.
Furthermore, if goopers were so concerned about the fate of the nation when the pendulum swung the other way because of American dissatisfaction with the right, they might not keep nominating and electing criminal incompetents to office.
Perfect storm indeed.
Nice of you to omit the treasonous actions of Iran-Contra which included thwarting any hostage release so as to scuttle any chance for Carter’s reelection. It was the right that dealt in drugs and weapons to hostile countries to serve their own ends (just as they do now).
Who is that who’s doing the 180 ?
Bush got good press ?
Here it is folks…. the absolute perfect example of why our country is going down the tubes…
Wow… this keeps getting better and better…
This lying moron has the chutzpah to claim that the iran contra affair, which began in 1985, 3 years after Carter was kicked out of office, was actually responsible for preventing Carter from getting re-elected in 1982…
If this clown wasn’t so evil, it would be hysterical…
Hey David… check this out… It may be deserving of the NewReel biggest lie of the year award…
By the way, you do realize that a failure of a president, and one who got his @ss handed to him by the margin that he did, didn’t have to have his reelection bid “scuttled” by anyone else, right?
Do you think that double-digit inflation and interest rates, as well as a phantom “energy crisis” complete with lines at the gas pumps had anything to do with the anti-semite president’s beat-down at the polls???
LanceThruster-
“Iran/Contra”???!!! In 1980???
Do you even have ANY remote grasp on historical timeframes???
Wow…just…wow.
Yeah…
It’s hard to believe isn’t it ?
Jack;
Most of these liberal elites were mean and nasty… A friend of mine had some contact with Gore, & from what he tells me, Gore may have been the most rude and nasty of all of them…. well maybe Hillary was on his level….
