Jimmy Carter Has WON THE MORNING With His Important Scoop That Joe Wilson Is A Racist

Hey junior crime-solvers, President of America Jimmy Carter has solved our country’s most terrible mystery, which is exactly just how racist is Joe Wilson? The answer? It was Mr. Wilson… in the House chamber… motivated by TONS OF RACISM. Wilson has vehemently denied being a guilty of racism, which exactly how a guilty person would act. Nice try. Like you, Jimmy Carter finds the whole thing “dastardly.”

It turns out that Wilson’s racist hate speech is part of America’s rich history of racism, which goes back to the German “Nazis,” a bunch of total Nazis from whose ribs this Wilson was created.

“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.”

The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders.

“Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care,” he said. “It’s deeper than that.”

In other words, comparing America’s black President… to… Nazis… is itself Nazi-ish. “Dastardly” is one word for this, yes.

    I think Barack Obama is a better President than that failure, Jimmy Carter. Does that make me a reverse racist?

    “There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body,” said Alan Wilson, an Iraq veteran who is running for state attorney general in South Carolina. “He doesn’t even laugh at distasteful jokes.”

    Of course he doesn’t. He was raised properly, and knows it’s impolite to laugh at your own jokes.

  3. germansteel says at 9:56 am, September 16th, 2009

    You can’t insult a cracker like Wilson by calling him a racist.

    Jimmy Carter, being from Georgia, knows this.

  7. “Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care,” he said. “It’s deeper than that.”

    No, not deeper. It’s actually on the shallow end of the thought pool. After all, comparing your opponent to Nazism/Hitler is pretty much the easiest attempt at insult you can make.

    Now, had the HCR opponents written a hundred page treatise on the similarities between Obama’s policy and, say, some obscure absurd radical existentialist philosophy…now that would be deep.

    bureaucrap: So he’s not a racist, but he raised a son who tells racist jokes to try and get a rise out of the old man?

  9. tootsieroll says at 10:00 am, September 16th, 2009

    You know how you take a little snowball, and stand at the top of a big hill, and then push it off? You have Bill Maher dare “pull the race card”, then Maureen Dowd took it to print, now President Carter decides, hell, I’ll jump in the pool too and call the bastards on it as well. This is either a good thing, or a very, very bad thing.

    The ballad of US (Rock Ridge) as sung by the KKK singers

    There was a peaceful place called US
    Where (White) people lived in harmony (heh)
    They never had no kind of trouble (unless them tinted folks gots uppity)
    There was no hint of misery (unless you didn’t have health insurance)

    The Congress was always lively
    But never nasty or obscene
    Behind the bench stood some white guys
    They always kept things pure and clean (damn you Brown vs Board of Edumakation!)

    Then all at once the trouble started
    A black man became president
    With swarms of Muslins they descended
    Their aim to make the white folk flee

    (Have you ever seen such socialism?)

    Now it is time of great decision
    Are we to stay or up and quit?
    There’s no avoiding this conclusion
    USA is turning into shit

  11. Bukakke that man! No, I mean the racist, not Carter. On second thought, do Carter, too, as a revenge for inflicting Billy Carter on us.

  12. “Dastardly Joe” Wilson. It’ll look good on a bumper sticker.

  13. Come here a minute says at 10:03 am, September 16th, 2009

    Jimmy Carter also blamed Joe Wilson’s racism for the country’s deep malaise.

  14. Hey, it could have been worse. He could have called him “niggardly.”

  15. So far, near as I can tell, nobody has likened Obama to Idi Amin and/or Papa Doc Duvalier. I trust this is a mere oversight and the teabaggers will be right on it soon enough.

    …how long do you guys figure before wingtard calls Kanye West a racist?

  44. WadISay: I guess you missed the rabbling a while back that was using the lack of political stability in many African countries as proof that Obama shouldn’t be president because black people obviously can’t lead. Because many of the problems in Africa are because they are black people and not, you know, the terrible terrible things that white people did to those black people.

  45. CC:

    Disagree that this topic is over. FInally, people are starting to say out loud what many of us have been feeling - that the rage of these protests is indicative of racism, not the dissent itself.

    Nobody screams like this about Health Care and nobody screams “You lie” at the other Presidents.

    Good for Carter.

  54. Ye Olde Fap-Smith says at 10:46 am, September 16th, 2009

    As a resident of the great state of GA, Carter and John Lewis are the only two politicans that aren’t complete retards/embarrassments. I’m represented by Lynn Westmoreland, the distinguished gentleman who called the Obamas “uppity.” Plus there is the guy running for Gov. that fondly reminisces about fucking a donkey as a youngin’ back on the farm. Srsly.

  59. norbizness says at 11:01 am, September 16th, 2009

    It can only be considered dastardly if Wilson was twirling his mustache as he yelled “WHO LET THIS LONG-LEGGED MACK DADDY ON THE STAGE”

  60. That picture reminds me of something. I was once in a KMart in New York, just north of the Bronx. In the toy section was a box (just one, apparently the rest were sold) marked “World Leaders Collection”. Inside was a doll…Herber Hoover.

  85. I didn’t read the Scranton Times(!) article, but did President Carter at any point refer to the Tea Klux Klan? Because I would take that as proof that his opinions are at least informed by a Wonkette habit. (And his stature in my estimation would rise accordingly.)

    President Carter is absolutely correct.

    The Repug Party’s real leadership is comprised of racists like Joe “You Lie” Wilson, Rush Limpballs and FOX’s Klannity.

    The Repug nominal leadership is comprised of morons and other non-entities like Quitsilla from Wasilla, ManTan Boehner, Smirky McConnell, and lawn jockey Michael Steele.

So why does Carter think theres racism???
