The left yelling racist every disagreement is as bad as the right yelling nazi and communist. The extremes on both sides are making any form of civil discourse on any subject almost impossible.

Who ever thought President Obama (he of the rainbows and unicorns) and his liberal thugs would be ‘playing the race’ card already? Is government take over of health care THAT important to him? Why not save it for cap and trade? Why now, what is the strategy? Labeling ANYONE who disagrees with his policies racist is the most divisive thing a President of this country has ever done.

SHOULD OBAMA PULL AN ‘ELVIS’ ON DAVID LETTERMAN?

Will Dave quiz Obama Monday night about President Carter’s contention that the vitriol against Obama has roots in white racism?

Will Dave bring up the Kenye West “jackass” remark, perhaps in the context of Rep. Wilson’s “you lie!” insult?

Or will the Obama White House try to impose subject restrictions on the notoriously uncontrollable Letterman?

Will any TV or political writer ask the Letterman show about the terms of engagement?

Media overexposure is risky for Obama; another “Special Olympics”- type gaffe would detract attention from a health care message that’s already getting repetitive.

Where is Obama’s Col. Tom Parker?

Wouldn’t it be politically wise for Obama to suddenly have a “schedule conflict” that puts off the Letterman appearance until the current media circus abates?

Just how important is Letterman’s audience in shaping the debate in Congress, coming just a day after a “full Ginsburg” Sunday talk blitz? Just wondering… Is Mediaite or its readers?

I don’t why anyone’s surprised at being classified as a racist by a Democrat or a member of the media.

That’s the way they have ALWAYS viewed anyone who is white and who is not a liberal.

What else is new?

Jimmy Carter… the committed anti-Semite has an opinion about Joe Wilson and the growing chorus of Americans growing dissatisfied about President Obama. La, la, la! It seems that Fox News is a the big winner of the day because no one is falling for this racist crap and Fox is ruling the agenda. It is, of course, brilliant for the president’s advisors to keep him off Fox and put him on Letterman. At the rate Obama’s imploding, his presidency will be judged right along with that of Jimmy Carter’s.

Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of Republicans, created the stereotypes that ALL African-Americans are welfare queens and whores. The Republican Party has been devoid of any semblance of diversity. Sure, there’s J.C. Watts and Alan Keyes. Wait, Keyes isn’t worth dragging out anymore.

Not all conservatives are racist. This is coming from a biracial (African-American/White), gay man. I should know some conservatives helped raise me. So, don’t paint me as a liberal who thinks all Republicans and conservatives are racist. If people feel Obama is being irresponsible. Say that and explain why.

The tea baggers can’t seem to articulate their feelings. They’ve called him a fascist, socialist and Nazi. Those people seem to be unaware that a fascist has “extreme right-wing views,” according to its definition. So, they could be described as fascists. Some of them are grasping at straws to describe Obama, because they can’t say what they want. We all know what adjective they’re searching for.

There I go again, playing the race card. By the way, if Jim Crow, Bull Connor, Joe Wilson and Strom Thurmond and faction of America would stop dealing the card, it wouldn’t get played.

Exulting Joe Wilson as some national hero makes the right’s claims about race not being involved ring hollow. Wilson is a member of Sons of Confederate Veterans, fought the removal of the Confederate flag from the SC Capitol. If that’s not enough, he accused Strom Thurmond’s illegitimate, biracial daughter of smearing the late politician by revealing her true identity.

If they coupled the name-calling and support of insults with a proposal of their own, I could write it off. Instead, they allowed Sarah Palin to help stoke racial hatred of the president. She accused him of “pallin’ around with terrorists.” Speaking of pallin’ around with terrorists. Her former running mate, John McCain, spent time with Mummar Qadhafi about a month ago. According to McCain’s tweet, he’s an interesting man. Interestingly, McCain never denounced her comments. It’s a case of the pot calling the kettle African-American.

Michael Steele had to weigh in as well (of course):
http://www.gotchamediablog.com/2009/09/jimmy-carter-vs-michael-steele.html

If people start taking what someone “thinks” or “imagines” someone says as fact we are in real trouble. Dowd, Carter, and many in the MSM are recklessly stroking these fires for their own selfish reasons. Michael Steele is right, Carter is “ignorant” and “it diminishes real instances of racism that still exist in this country.”

Remember what happened to “chicken little.”

Does anyone really want to take an anti-Semite like Jimmy Carter seriously???

What was his excuse for the American public hating him? How did a guy who was a drunk driving murderer almost cost Carter his re-nomination in 1980?

In regards to the “discussion” on AC360, if you look at Anderson’s live blog last night 95% of all comments were in support of what Anderson and Martin were pushing. Very few opposing comments were posted. I had at least 10 comments blocked myself and I was not the only one.

When Anderson asks the viewers to “join the conversation on our blog” he should add, “but only if you agree with me.”

By blocking opposing views 360 gives viewers the impression that everyone agrees with what Anderson is putting out there and we know how the mob mentality works on weak minds. Look who the president is.

I had no idea about that LibraBlue! I don’t watch “360″ (nor Greta at that time) but thats very interesting. Mediaite should do a story on that.

@CaptainAmerica, I have tested it with friends from other states and it happens all the time. Submit comments that agree with or compliment CNN or Anderson and you will get posted, but as soon as you start saying something negative about Anderson, Obama or the Democrats they start blocking your comments. Yes, some get through, but they are very few and on those rare occasion when you can get through and you get attacked they block all efforts you make to defend your position.

Oh yeah, sometimes those negative comments that do get posted are deleted later.

They do the same thing on their regular blog as well.

I have suggested that to Mediaite, but I guess they don’t want to lose their CNN “connections.”

NBC should be ashamed of itself! Having said that, any fool that argues that Obama is an ‘Indonesian Muslim’ is below contempt. A pox on both your houses!

To the kid at Obama’s inauguration: “Sorry, little fella…it’s not ‘raining candy’ and it probably never will. You can ‘hope’ for it all you want, but it won’t ‘change’ the outcome. I know you thought your Man would ‘make it rain candy,’ but there’s a whole lot of things he promised that he’s not gonna do. And yes, that’s why his ears keep looking bigger each day.”

Jimmy Carter is right and all the squealing you hear from the Republitards is proof that the truth hurts.

Jason Wilson,

Congrats!! You’ve managed to hit all the usual liberal talking points.

Sarah Palin was talking about Bill Ayers. I thought he was a ‘white guy’? Yeah, you knew that though.

JimW, you referred to Carter as a “committed anti-Semite”. Now you and I both know what a shameless liar you are from the Keith Olbermann thread, but I want all these other readers to see your dishonesty at work, too.

So, you can either provide some sort of proof that Carter is an “anti-Semite” or once again you will be exposed as a liar. Post proof or retract.

This same challenge goes out to CaptainAmerica: Provide evidence that Carter is an anti-Semite or be shown as a lying creep.

Racism has evolved to a different stage in today’s America. In 1968, I can recall seeing the popular signs being carried during anti-war or civil rights demonstrations. A few examples are: Nixon-Racist Pig; Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many kids have you killed today; United States of Amerika; N*ggers Go Home; I Hate Whitey; Cracker Whores Must Go, Support Racism Free Colleges; March with SDS, You Can’t Jail A Revolution.
Names in the news? Eldridge Cleaver, Huey P Newton, H. Rap Brown, Angela Davis, Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bull Connor, George Wallace and J. Edgar Hoover to name a few.
Real racism involved killing and hanging Blacks in the South and elsewhere in the USA, along with any Whites who tried to prevent or at the very least curb racism. Politicians of the day (except Kennedy’s, LBJ and few others) dragged their feet to make any significant changes. Now this was a REAL movement against racism and for political change in our country.

It’s now 2009 and there are no longer violent racial/civil demonstrations on our streets. We as a country have made huge strides since then to improve race relations. Please give credit where credit is due. Their are countless programs out there that benefit minorities and whites as well. Hard work by both Whites and minorities has made this possible. IMHO, the majority of today’s young people are not racist. I think us Baby Boomers are the last generation to have witnessed or experienced actual racism. Jimmy Carter and politicians on both sides of the aisle, along with some irresponsible journalists who fan the flames of hate, will never stop. They’ll milk the word racism for as long as it benefits their own personal agendas and to hell with whoever suffers as “collateral damage”. “Racism” today is used for political purposes and not because it occurs as it did up until the late 60′s. I base my opinion on my own experiences and observations as an American of Mexican descent.

Since Anderson’s race baiting discussions didn’t produce higher ratings the last two nights he is adding a celebrity to the “panel.” Tonight’s guest is singer John Legend who called AC360 to say that he wanted to talk about his “strong” feelings about the tea parties and the racist accusations.

Do the American people really care what celebrities have to say on this subject? These people live in an alternative universe void of any real contact with the average American. Why didn’t 360 do the responsible thing and invite RNC chairman Michael Steele on the program instead?

I guess the 360 producers don’t care about the strong feelings the average American has on this subject, especially if it doesn’t agree with their agenda.

Jim W do you remember when 14 Jewish members of the Carter Center resigned?
http://stlouis.ujcfedweb.org/page.aspx?id=137964

It wasn’t long after that–that a wonderful caller got through on C-Span and called him what he was–an anti-Semite!

His hatred of the Jews and his support of terrorists and dictators is sickening!

Let the record show that both Jim W and Captain America refused to provide evidence for their claim that Jimmy Carter is an anti-Semite. Both are liars and frauds. They are also cowards who hide when asked to back up their claims.

No Jelperman, we just don’t care to respond to Keith lovers who can’t handle the truth. Keith lies every night on that show. It’s well documented. Mediaite even busted him over his lies about his demographic claims and about using his “dead mother” as an excuse. Keith is a pathetic person. Uses doctored video and then lies about people from the doctored video.

What’s also funny is Jimmy (the anti-Semite) Carter didn’t provide any evidence that the people who are against Obama are racists. Neither did Maureen Dowd or all the lunatics on the left making that claim. Why don’t you spend your time going after those nuts? Because they are just full of ****.

Wow, Jelperman who do you think you are?

CaptainAmerica, dont take that from this liberal idiot….

Have you read “arguing with idiots”, if not you should read it. Don’t even give them the time of day.

As far as being a racist, my best friend is Hispanic not sure if he is illegal or not and don’t care, my church is a multi-racial Baptist black / white church, I’m married to a Filipino and my oldest son is gay and black from a previous marriage.

So MR Carter and Jelperman, Go F…. yourself!

Your the RACIST!

Speaking of racists, why does Anderson insist on having race baiter and Obama lap dog Roland Martin on during every discussion on race? You can’t have a serious discussion on an important issue like that with a radical who hates any white person who doesn’t worship Obama.

Hey Libra blue, I could not agree with you more. If Anderson or any Liberal was a deck of card every card would be the race card. With them the deck is stacked……

I personally would not care if our President or anyone was GREEN and came from the planet mars, if we disagree then it’s on ideology, character or his or her content. My parents came here in the 40’s from Europe as immigrants, we did not own slaves, our fathers did not own slaves and if we had been around during those times, we would have been apposed to it. Plain and simple, do not use RACE as a reason for your difference of opinion, it’s just not a factor.

Help support our efforts, check out http://www.beckheads.com it’s new but we intend to grow….. thanks

Jimmah…..this is Billy calling from the grave. Hey fella, are you gettin’ them thar folks riled? Go on down to the holla and get that rusty ol 6-pack of Billy Beer I stashed back in ’77. It’s time to come home, Jimmah. Ya don’t wanna tangle with them thar folks on that thar newfangled blahgosfear thing.

Kiki -

You said “Labeling ANYONE who disagrees with his policies racist is the most divisive thing a President of this country has ever done.”

Really? Would that be more devisive than attacking Iraq under false pretenses? Would that be more devisive than stealing an election?

But forget that for now. How about this: Obama has specifically NOT labeled anyone. Jimmy Carter said the HE thinks many of the people that ANGRILY oppose Obama, do so because of race. Obama DISAGREED with Carter.

So, Kiki, if you want to criticize PRESIDENT OBAMA, why don’t you accuse him of saying something he actually said?
