Former President Jimmy Carter: “Joe Wilson Called Obama A Liar Because He’s Racist”

Former President, Jimmy Carter, is speaking out about what many believe is outright racism reflected in the trends set by some of the Obama protesters and especially in the occasion of last weeks situation:

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.” The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was 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.”

All of this started at Palin and McCain speeches where it was sort of encouraged.
