If Jimmy Carter believes<\/a> that the \u201coverwhelming\u201d portion of criticism towards Barack Obama is due to racism, does he also believe that the overwhelming portion of criticism towards Israel is anti-Semitic?  Wouldn\u2019t that apply to a man who hangs out with people<\/a> who target Israeli citizens for terrorist attacks?  After all, Hamas regularly issues anti-Semitic harangues and smears, and yet Carter has no problem cozying up to them and claiming that their criticism of Israel is legitimate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The race card is a two-edged sword, to mix metaphors.  And when you use the term "overwhelmingly", you expose yourself as someone desperate to handwave away any and all criticism by labeling it, rather than considering it.  And Carter’s association with those who spew actual<\/em> racist rhetoric is charmingly ironic.<\/p>\n

Is 60% of America<\/a> really racist?  Do you really believe that?  No, I don’t think Jimmy Carter really believes that.  Assuming intelligence on his part, it can only be cover that he giving to Obama to try to marginalize critics.  And it’s not working, as the numbers continue to drop for the One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
